Abstract

We demonstrate label-free detection of a molecular binding event using a nanocavity network-based impedance technique. A micro-affinity column of biotinylated beads is packed inside of a glass microchip, and the binding of avidin occludes the nanocavities between beads and is measured as a change of impedance through the packed column. We developed a model that indicates a ∼8% increase in resistance upon saturated binding of avidin to the 1 μm diameter beads in the column. Preliminary data in 0.84 μm beads indicates a 20% increase in resistance upon saturation with avidin.
