摘要:
Disclosed are methods and devices for detection of ion migration and binding, utilizing a nanopipette adapted for use in an electrochemical sensing circuit. The nanopipette may be functionalized on its interior bore with metal chelators for binding and sensing metal ions or other specific binding molecules such as boronic acid for binding and sensing glucose. Such a functionalized nanopipette is comprised in an electrical sensor that detects when the nanopipette selectively and reversibly binds ions or small molecules. Also disclosed is a nanoreactor, comprising a nanopipette, for controlling precipitation in aqueous solutions by voltage-directed ion migration, wherein ions may be directed out of the interior bore by a repulsing charge in the bore.

Provided are methods and compositions for the generation of broad size distributions of polynucleic acid fragments from larger polynucleic acids. The invention provides unbiased polynucleic acid fragments, i.e. fragments representative of all portions of the larger polynucleic acids. The methods are amendable to automation and are cost-effective. The methods comprise contacting the polynucleic acid sample with a reducing agent and a transition metal in a solvent to form a mixture. An exemplified reducing agent is sodium ascorbate, and an exemplified transition metal is copper.

Provided are methods for simultaneously detecting analytes. The methods include exposing a tip of a nanosensor to a biological sample, measuring ionic current flow through the nanosensor tip to detect a first analyte and a second analyte in the biological sample, and distinguishing the first analyte from the second analyte based on a first diffusion limited current peak resulting from binding of a first specific binding member to the first analyte being distinguishable from a second diffusion limited current peak resulting from binding of a second specific binding member to the second analyte. Sensing apparatuses that find use, e.g., in practicing the methods of the present disclosure, are also provided.

Disclosed are methods and devices for biomolecular detection, comprising a nanopipette, exemplified as a hollow inert, non-biological structure with a conical tip opening of nanoscale dimensions, suitable for holding an electrolyte solution which may contain an analyte such as a protein biomolecule to be detected as it is passed through the tip opening. Biomolecules are detected by specific reaction with peptide ligands chemically immobilized in the vicinity of the tip. Analytes which bind to the ligands cause a detectible change in ionic current. A sensitive detection circuit, using a feedback amplifier circuit, and alternating voltages is further disclosed. Detection of IL-10 at a concentration of 4ng/ml is also disclosed, as is detection of VEGF.
