Popis: An optical microfiber interferometric biosensor for the low concentration detection of sequence-specific deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) based on signal amplification technology via oligonucleotides linked to gold nanoparticles (Au-NPs) is proposed and experimentally analyzed. The sensor uses a “sandwich” detection strategy, in which capture probe DNA (DNA-c) is immobilized on the surface of the optical microfiber interferometer, the reporter probe DNA (DNA-r) is immobilized on the surface of Au-NPs, and the DNA-c and DNA-r are hybridized to the target probe DNA (DNA-t) in a sandwich arrangement. The dynamic detection of the DNA-t was found to range from 1.0×10−15 M to 1.0×10−8 M, and the limit of detection (LOD) concentration was 1.32 fM. This sensor exhibited not only a low LOD but also excellent selectivity against mismatched DNA-t, and it can be further developed for application in various sensing platforms.
