Detect the Hybridization of Single-Stranded DNA by Parallel Scan Spectral Surface Plasmon Resonance Imaging

摘要

We investigate the ability of a parallel scan spectral surface plasmon resonance imaging system in analyzing hybridization of single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) on microarray. The ssDNA probes are modified by a thiol group and thereby can be immobilized onto the gold film. Hybridization experiments are carried out by using both complementary and noncomplementary sequence to confirm the specificity of interaction. We also demonstrate that the data analysis is very important in reducing the noise and improving the resolution by comparing polynomial fitting method with the combination of polynomial fitting and centroid method. Finally, the results demonstrate that the parallel scan spectral surface plasmon resonance imaging system can be used for high-throughput analysis of the hybridization of the ssDNA.
