본 연구에서는 나노갭 소자에 미세유체 수직 이중층을 도입하여 상층에 존재하는 금나노입자를 검출하였다. 형성된 수직 이중 층의 상층에는 검출물질을 주입하였고 하층에는 검출물질과 소자 표면의 전극을 분리 시킬 수 있는 용액을 주입하였다. 수직 이중층의 형성은 크로노암페로메트리(Chronoamperometry)을 이용하여 상층에 흘려준 electrochemical indicator 인 ferricyanide 용액의 전기화학 신호가 발생되지 않음을 통해서 확인하였다. 연속적인 수직 이중 층의 흐름에서 유전영동법을 이용하여 상층에 존재하는 금나노입자들을 나노갭전극으로 유도포획 하였고 이때 실시간으로 변하는 전류 값으로부터 금나노입자의 검출여부를 판단하였다.

In this work, the surface of gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) was modified with small molecules including mercaptoundecanoic acid (MUA) and L-lysine for the development of highly sensitive lateral flow (LF) sensors. Uniformly sized AuNps were synthesized by a modified Turkevich-Frens method, showing an average size of $16.7{\pm}2.1nm$. Functionalized AuNPs were then characterized by transmission electron microscopy, UV-vis spectroscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. The stable conjugation of AuNPs and antibodies was obtained at pH 7.07 and the antibody concentration of $10{\mu}g/mL$. The functionalized AuNP-based LF sensor exhibited lower detection limit of 10 ng/mL for hepatitis B surface antigens than that of using the bare AuNP-based LF sensor (100 ng/mL).

A metal ion detector with a submicron size electrode was fabricated by field-induced AFM oxidation. The square frame of the mesa pattern was functionalized by APTES for the metal ion detection, and the remaining portion was used as an electrode by the self-assembly of MPTMS for Au metal deposition. The conductance changed with the quantity of adsorbed copper ions, due to electron tunneling between the mobile and surface electrodes. The smaller electrode has a lower limit of detection due to the enhancement in electron tunneling through metal ions that are adsorbed between the conductive-tip (mobile) and the surface (fixed) electrode. This two-electrode system immobilized with different functional groups was successfully used in the selective adsorption and detection of target materials.
