In this study, we have described a method for the fabrication of a protein chip on silicon substrate using hydrophobic thin film and microfluidic channels, for the simultaneous detection of multiple targets in samples. The use of hydrophobic thin film provides for a physical, chemical, and biological barrier for protein patterning. The microfluidic channels create four protein patterned strips on the silicon surfaces with a high signal-to-noise ratio. The feasibility of the protein chips was determined in order to discriminate between each protein interaction in a mixture sample that included biotin, ovalbumin, hepatitis B antigen, and hepatitis C antigen. In the fabrication of the multiplexed assay system, the utilization of the hydrophobic thin film and the microfluidic networks constitutes a more convenient method for the development of biosensors or biochips. This technique may be applicable to the simultaneous evaluation of multiple protein-protein interactions.

Recently, silica nanostructures are widely used in various applicationary areas such as chemical sensors, biosensors, nano-fillers, markers, catalysts, and as a substrate for quantum dots etc, because of their excellent physical, chemical and optical properties. Additionally, these days, semiconductor silica and silicon with high purity is a key challenge because of their metallurgical grade silicon (MG-Si) exhibit purity of about 99% produced by an arc discharge method with high cast. Tremendous efforts are being paid towards this direction to reduce the cast of high purity silicon for generation of photovoltaic power as a solar cell. In this direction, which contains a small amount of impurities, which can be further purified by acid leaching process. In this regard, initially the low cast rice-husk was cultivated from local rice field and washed well with high purity distilled water and were treated with acid leaching process (1:10 HCl and $H_2O$) to remove the atmospheric dirt and impurity. The acid treated rice-husk was again washed with distilled water and dried in an oven at $60^{\circ}C$. The dried rice-husk was further annealed at different temperatures (620 and $900^{\circ}C$) for the formation of silica nanospheres. The confirmation of silica was observed by the X-ray diffraction pattern and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. The morphology of obtained nanostructures were analyzed via Field-emission scanning electron microscope(FE-SEM) and Transmission electron microscopy(TEM) and it reveals that the size of each nanosphares is about 50-60nm. Using the Inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry(ICP-MS), Silica was analyzed for the amount of impurities.

Early detection of cancer biomarkers in the blood is of vital importance for reducing the mortality and morbidity in a number of cancers. From this point of view, immunosensors based on nanowire (NW) and carbon nanotube (CNT) field-effect transistors (FETs) that allow the ultra-sensitive, highly specific, and label-free electrical detection of biomarkers received much attention. Nevertheless 1D nano-FET biosensors showed high performance, several challenges remain to be resolved for the uncomplicated, reproducible, low-cost and high-throughput nanofabrication. Recently, two-dimensional (2D) graphene and reduced GO (RGO) nanosheets or films find widespread applications such as clean energy storage and conversion devices, optical detector, field-effect transistors, electromechanical resonators, and chemical & biological sensors. In particular, the graphene- and RGO-FETs devices are very promising for sensing applications because of advantages including large detection area, low noise level in solution, ease of fabrication, and the high sensitivity to ions and biomolecules comparable to 1D nano-FETs. Even though a limited number of biosensor applications including chemical vapor deposition (CVD) grown graphene film for DNA detection, single-layer graphene for protein detection and single-layer graphene or solution-processed RGO film for cell monitoring have been reported, development of facile fabrication methods and full understanding of sensing mechanism are still lacking. Furthermore, there have been no reports on demonstration of ultrasensitive electrical detection of a cancer biomarker using the graphene- or RGO-FET. Here we describe scalable and facile fabrication of reduced graphene oxide FET (RGO-FET) with the capability of label-free, ultrasensitive electrical detection of a cancer biomarker, prostate specific antigen/${\alpha}$ 1-antichymotrypsin (PSA-ACT) complex, in which the ultrathin RGO channel was formed by a uniform self-assembly of two-dimensional RGO nanosheets, and also we will discuss about the immunosensing mechanism.

Since the carbon nanotubes (CNTs) have extraordinary material properties, many researchers are trying to make a practical application in various fields [1]. In particular, the high surface area of CNTs was fascinated for nano-template on the catalytic system. $RuO_2$ coated CNTs are useful functional nano-composites in many applications, including super capacitors, fuel cells, biosensors, and field emitters. However, the research of interaction between CNTs and $RuO_2$ was not satisfied with various fields [2]. In this study, we will introduce the change of chemical and electrical state of $RuO_2$/CNTs at different temperatures by synchrotron radiation photoemission spectroscopy (SRPES). The t-MWCNTs used in this experiment were grown on the Ni/TiN/Si substrates by chemical vapor deposition. $RuO_2$ of 4-20 nm in thickness was deposited on the t-MWNTs by sputter. The SRPES measurements were carried out at the 4B1 beamline of the Pohang Accelerator Laboratory in Korea. The result of XPS measurement indicates that the deposited $RuO_2$ on the CNTs was reduced into pure Ru at above $300^{\circ}C$. And we confirmed that the effective work function of $RuO_2$/CNTs was decreased with increasing temperature.

Purpose: Particle separation in solution is one of important process in a unit operation as well as in an extract preparation for biosensors. Contrary to centrifuge-type of mesh-type filter, using an ultrasonic standing wave make the filtering process continuous and free from maintenance. It is needed to investigate the characteristics of particle movement in the ultrasonic standing wave field. Methods: Through the computer simulation the effects of major design and driving parameters on the alignment characteristics of particles were investigated, and a cylindrical chamber with up-stream flow type was devised using two circular-shape PZTs on both sides of the chamber, one for transmitting ultrasonic wave and the other for just reflecting it. Then, the system performance was experimentally investigated as well. Results: The speed of a particle to reach pressure-node plane increased as the acoustic pressure and size of particle increased. The maximum allowable up-stream flow rate could be calculated as well. As expected, exact numbers of pressure-node planes were well formed at specific locations according to the wavelength of ultrasonic wave. As the driving frequency of PZT got close to its resonance frequency, the bands of particles were observed clearer, which meant the particles were trapped into narrower space. Higher excitation voltages to the PZT produced a greater acoustic force with which to trap particles in the pressure-node planes, so that the particles gathered could move upwards without disturbing their alignments even at a higher inlet flow rate. Conclusions: This research showed the feasibility of particle separation in solution in the continuous way by an ultrasonic standing wave. Further study is needed to develop a device to collect or harvest those separated particles.

BA은 치즈, 와인, 젓갈, 소시지, 된장 등 미생물에 의한 발효과정을 거치는 식품뿐만 아니라 채소류, 과일, 육류와 같은 비발효 식품군에서도 발견된다. 식품 내 BA 오염에 대한 관리를 목적으로 제조공정 및 유통과정에서 신속하게 다량의 시료를 분석하고 제품에 대한 항시 모니터링 기술이 요구된다. 이를 위해 BA 특이항체 및 BA 분해효소를 이용하는 BA 검출 및 센싱 기술이 개발되고 있다. HisN 특이 항체를 이용한 ELISA 키트는 상용화 되었으며 다양한 식품에 적용되고 있다. 산화적 탈아미노반응을 촉매하는 아민산화효소는 항체기반의 ELISA 방식에 비해 다양한 BA 분석에 사용되고 있으며, 효소반응에 의해 생성되는 $H_2O_2$의 산화환원반응에 의해 발생하는 전류를 측정함으로써 BA의 함량을 정량할 수 있는 전류측정식 바이오센서 개발에 적용되고 있다. BA 신속검출을 위한 바이오센서의 개발 연구 동향에 발맞추어 국내 전통발효식품에 적합한 기술개발이 요구되며, 산업현장 적용 연구를 거쳐 국내 전통발효식품의 안전성을 확보해야 할 것으로 판단된다.

글루코스 옥시다아(GOx)제 고정화 바이오센서를 두 가지 방법으로 제조 하였다. 첫 번째 방법은 폴리(maleic anhydride) 그래프트 탄소나노튜브(PMAn-g-MWCNT) 전극에 감마선 조사법으로 제조 된 Au 나노입자를 물리적으로 흡착시킨 후, GOx을 고정화 시켜 바이오센서를 제조한 경우이고, 다른 하나는 PMAn-g-MWCNT 전극에서 Au 이온을 전기화학적으로 환원시켜 Au 나노입자를 코팅 시키고, 그 위에 GOx을 고정화 시켜 바이오센서를 제조 한 경우이두. 제조된 바이오센서에 대해 효율 평가를 수행 하였는데, 물리적 흡착법으로 제조된 전극의 경우 검출 범위는 $30\;{\mu}M\sim100\;{\mu}M$이었으며, 검출한계는 $15\;{\mu}M$이었다. 또한 ascorbic acid와 uric acid에 대한 검출한계는 7.6%이었다. 물리적으로 Au 나노입자가 흡착된 전극의 경우가 글루코스 측정에 매우 우수한 전극임을 확인 하였다.
