A biomolecule detector and a method thereof are provided to detect the biomolecules in a liquid sample using a field effect transistor (FET) array. The FET array is characterized in that the transistor used has no gate electrode layer, a reference electrode is provided in the space between the transistors in the array instead of the gate electrode layer. Using the FET array, the existence of the biomolecules in the sample can be detected electrically and effectively under the circumstance where an external voltage is applied to flow the biomolecules. Using the FET array to detect the biomolecules, the deviation for each transistor is reduced and the multiplex processing is also possible to measure the plurality of analyzing samples at the same time.

A device for detecting biomolecules includes: a semiconductor substrate; a source region and a drain region separately provided at the substrate; a chamber formed at the substrate including a region between the source region and the drain region, the chamber configured to contain a sample including the biomolecules; and an electrode which applies a voltage to the sample in the chamber. The biomolecules are mobile with respect to the electrode and sample. Methods for detecting biomolecules are also disclosed.
摘要:
A method for identifying a biomolecule using a biomolecule detector having a field effect transistor (FET) is provided. The method comprises the steps of (a) heating a sample containing a biomolecule loaded in the detector to thereby elevate the temperature of the sample; (b) measuring electric current flowing through a channel formed between a source region and a drain region in the FET while raising the temperature in the step (a); (c) obtaining a transition temperature that is the temperature at maximum point of current variation from data measured in the step (b); and (d) identifying the biomolecule using the transition temperature obtained in the step (c).

A method and a device for detecting nucleic acid are disclosed, wherein impurities in a sample can be easily removed.. The method comprises injecting a sample containing an adsorption medium with nucleic adsorbed thereon into a chamber; washing the sample; heating the sample to denature the nucleic acid; cooling down; and detecting nucleic acid by using the biomolecule detection device. The device includes: a source and a drain region; a gate electrode layer; a chamber formed over the semiconductor substrate including the gate electrode layer; and a heating means, wherein a gate adsorption layer to which a nucleic acid is adsorbed is formed on the gate electrode layer. A single-stranded nucleic acid is adsorbed to the gate adsorption layer, and a channel is formed between the source and the drain region. The current in the channel provides a basis to detect a gene.

A surface acoustic wave (SAW) immunosensor for diagnosing allergy disease includes one or more SAW devices on each of which allergens derived from one allergy-causing substance are fixed and an allergen derived from another allergy-causing substance is not included, that is, allergens derived from different allergy-causing substances being fixed on different SAW devices; and a signal detector which detects an output signal from the SAW device. Also a method for diagnosing allergy disease is capable of measuring levels of allergen-specific IgE and total IgE in blood or another sample taken from a subject of diagnosis using a SAW immunosensor, the allergens being derived from various allergy-causing substances, thereby capable of effectively diagnosing allergy disease for various allergy-causing substances.
