The new method produces the combination of desired properties in as small a package as possible Bawendi says which could help pave the way for particles with other useful properties such as the ability to bind with a specific type of bioreceptor or another
The researchers then patterned graphene devices using semiconductor processing techniques before attaching a number of bioreceptor molecules to the graphene devices.
In their study the researchers used x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and Raman spectroscopy to confirm that the bioreceptor molecules had attached to the graphene biosensor once fabricated
When 8-OHDG attached to the bioreceptor molecules on the sensor there was a notable difference in the graphene channel resistance
To do so, the researchers attached bioreceptors, fragments of DNA engineered to recognise specific proteins, to the nanoantennas.
When the nanoantennas studded with the bioreceptors are incubated in a solution that contains the biomarkers to be detected,
they show the Raman fingerprints of both the bioreceptor and the biomarker, as Gucciardi points out.
