Abstract
The analysis of nucleic acids remains an important trend in the development of medical diagnostics. Modern ultrasensitive diagnostic systems make it possible to convert a specific interaction during the analysis into a hardware-recorded signal. An example of such diagnostic devices is biosensors based on silicon-on-insulator (SOI) field-effect transistors (FET). In this work, we use glass surfaces (as a Si/SiO2 surface of a SOI biosensor) to optimize and test all stages of the analysis. Efficient immobilization of electrically neutral analogs of oligonucleotides on the Si/SiO2 surface after activation of Si-OH groups with 3-glycidoxypropyltrimethoxysilane or carbonyldiimidazole is demonstrated. The possibility of detecting an RNA target on model glass surfaces in the parallel analysis mode under conditions of a low or zero salt concentration is provided. The regeneration of the Si/SiO2 surface of the sensors for the repeated analysis and the stability of the sensors during long-term storage are demonstrated.
