IBN has successfully developed a novel electronic sensor array
for more rapid, accurate and cost-efficient testing of DNA for
disease diagnosis and biological research. This study by IBN
Group Leader Dr Zhiqiang Gao and his team was published in the
leading international chemistry journal, Journal of the American
Chemical Society. Called the “Nanogap Sensor Array”, IBN’s new
device has a unique, vertically aligned nanostructure design and
a two-surface configuration based on electronic transduction.
The sensor comes with a pair of micron-sized metal electrodes
separated by a nanogap (5–20 nm). The biosensor will translate
the presence of DNA into an electrical signal for computer
analysis. “By saving time and lowering expenses, our Nanogap
Sensor Array offers a scalable and viable alternative for DNA
testing. here to read the full article. Posted February 24th,
