Abstract
Recently, quantum dot (QD) has been used widely in the field of bio assay including cell imaging, biomarker, and fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) sensor. The DNA assay without labeling process has several advantages including low cost, short time, and simplicity. Microbeads of agarose, glass, and polystyrene have been used as a solid support in microfluidic devices to trace molecules. The main advantages of microfluidics include high throughput, short analysis time, small sample volume, and high sensitivity. PDMS based microfluidic chips were prepared for the detection of p53 gene by using QD-DNA conjugate. The microfluidic chip has a weir in the channel to trap microbeads to which QD-DNA probes bind. Carboxylated CdSe/ZnS QDs (wavelength of emission: 605 nm) could bind to microbeads of polystyrene/divinyl benzene via EDC/NHS crosslinking reaction. The target gene and DNA intercalating dye (TOTO-3) were loaded into the micro-channel. Fluorescence quenching from QDs by intercalating dye was observed after hybridization of DNA at the weir in the channel of microfluidic chip. The fluorescence quenching from QDs by TOTO-3 was dependent on the concentration of target gene. This experiment shows the possibility of rapid detection of DNA via bead-QD complex on microfluidic chip.
