In this paper, we have been described a new constructing method of multichannel biosensor using self-assembly by magnetic force interaction. A metal particle and an array was fabricated by photolithographic. Biomaterials were immobilized on the metal particle. The array and the particles were mixed in a buffer solution, and were arranged by magnetic force interaction and self-assembly. A quarter of total Ni dots were covered by the particles. The binding direction of the particles was controllable, and condition of particles was almost with Au surface on top. The particles were successfully arranged on the array. The biomaterial activities were detected by chemiluminescence.

Microarray-based DNA chips provide an architecture for multi-analyte sensing. In this paper, we report a new approach for DNA chip microarray fabrication. Multifunctional DNA chip microarray was made by immobilizing many kinds of biomaterials on transducers (particles). DNA chip microarray was prepared by randomly distributing a mixture of the particles on a chip pattern containing thousands of m-scale sites. The particles occupied a different sites from site to site. The particles were arranged on the chip pattern by the random fluidic self-assembly (RFSA) method, using a hydrophobic interaction for assembly.

Polyethylene glycol(PEG)은 강력한 단백질 및 세포흡착 억제력을 가지고 있어 다양한 생물학적 연구에 사용되고 있으나, 기판과의 결합력이 무척 약해 기판 위에 박막을 형성하기가 매우 어렵다는 문제점이 있다. 이번 연구에서는 capacitively-coupled plasma chemical vapor deposition(CCP-CVD)를 이용하여 PEG를 유리 기판 위에 플라즈마 중합하여 plasma-polymerized PEG(PP-PEG) 기판을 만들었다. PP-PEG 박막은 FT-IR, XPS, ToF-SIMS 분석을 통하여 PEG와 매우 유사한 화학적 조성을 가지고 있음을 확인할 수 있었다. 또한 PP-PEG 기판은 photolithography 방법을 이용하여 표면에 photoresist를 패턴한 뒤 아민작용기를 가지는 plasma-polymerized ethylenediamine (PPEDA)를 증착하여 표면이 amine/PEG로 패턴화된 박막 기판을 만들었다. 패턴된 기판에 단백질 및 세포를 고정화하였을 때, 아민 작용기가 노출된 부분에만 고정화가 나타나고 PP-PEG 영역에는 단백질 및 세포의 흡착이 효율적으로 억제되는 것을 형광측정 및 ToF-SIMS chemical imaging 방법을 이용하여 확인하였다. 이러한 바이오칩 제작기술은 단백질 및 세포 칩을 포함한 여러 분야에서 폭넓게 응용될 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

We report a systematic investigation of a set of macrophotoinitiators for use in polymerization-based signal amplification. To test the dependence of photopolymerization responses on the number of photoinitiators localized per molecular recognition event, we gradually increased the number of photoinitiator molecules coupled to a scaffold macromolecule. Macrophotoinitiators constructed with an average of 7 to 168 photoinitiators per polymer with the goals of quantifying the relationship between the number of initiators per binding event and the degree of amplified colorimetric readout. To evaluate the capacity of the macrophotoinitiators to detect molecular recognition, neutravidin was coupled to these molecules to recognize biotin-labeled DNA immobilized on biochip test surfaces. Fluorescein macroinitiators are found to be useful in detecting molecular recognition above a threshold of initiators per polymer. Above this threshold, increasing the number of initiators per macroinitiator resulted in increased signal strength.

Recently, a demand of nano/micro patterned polymer for display or biochip has been rising. Then many studies have been carried out. Nano/micro-embossing is a deformation process where the workpiece materials is heated to permit easier material flow and then forced over a planar patterned tool. In this work, the hot-emboss process is performed with different forming conditions; forming temperature, load, press hold time, to get the proper condition for linear pattern fabrication on plated-type polymers (PC). Replicated pattern depth increases in proportion to the forming temperature, load and time. Reduction of the workpiece thickness increases according to press hold time. In process of time, reduction ratio of workpiece thickness decreases because of surface area increment of the workpiece and pressure decline on it.

압타머칩은 혈청(serum) 내의 지정된 단백질의 상대적 양을 직접 측정할 수 있는 바이오칩으로서, 의학적 질병 진단에 유용하게 사용할 수 있는 툴이다. 압타머칩 데이터 분석에는 기존의 마이크로어레이 분석기법을 그대로 적용할 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 Potential SVM(PSVM)을 이용하여, 심혈관질환 샘플 기반의 압타머칩 데이터에서 바이오마커 후보 단백질을 선정한 결과를 정리한다. PSVM은 분류 알고리즘으로서 뿐만 아니라 자질 선택(feature selection)에서도 우수한 성능을 보이는 알고리즘으로 알려져 있다. 심혈관 질환의 단계에 따라 구분한 4개 클래스, 135개 샘플로 구성된 3K 압타머칩 데이터에 대해 PSVM을 적용하여 자질을 선택하고 분류성능을 측정한 결과, 마이크로어레이에서의 자질 선택에 많이 사용되는 Gain Ratio 기법과 비교하여 보다 적은 수의 단백질 정보로 보다 나은 분류 성능을 보임을 확인하였다. 더불어, PSVM을 이용해 선택한 단백질군을 심혈관 질환 진단을 위한 바이오마커 후보로 제시한다.

High throughput analysis using a DNA chip microarray is powerful tool in the post genome era. Less labor-intensive and lower cost-performance is required. Thus, this paper aims to develop the multi-channel type label-free DNA chip and detect SNP (Single nucleotide polymorphisms). At first, we fabricated a high integrated type DNA chip array by lithography technology. Various probe DNAs were immobilized on the microelectrode array. We succeeded to discriminate of DNA hybridization between target DNA and mismatched DNA on microarray after immobilization of a various probe DNA and hybridization of label-free target DNA on the electrodes simultaneously. This method is based on redox of an electrochemical ligand.

In the past decade, we have observed rapid advances in the development of biochips in many fields including medical and environmental monitoring. Biochip experiments involve immobilizing a ligand on a solid substrate surface, and monitoring its interaction with an analyte in a sample solution. Metal nanoparticles can display extinction bands on their surfaces. These charge density oscillations are simply known as the localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR). The high sensitivity of LSPR has been utilized to design biochips for the label-free detection of biomolecular interactions with various ligands. LSPR-based optical biochips and biosensors are easy to fabricate, and the apparatus cost for the evaluation of optical characteristics is lower than that for the conventional surface plasmon resonance apparatus. Furthermore, the operation procedure has become more convenient as it does not require labeling procedure. In this paper, we review the recent advances in LSPR research and also describe the LSPR-based optical biosensor constructed with a core-shell dielectric nanoparticle biochip for its application to label-free biomolecular detections such as antigen-antibody interaction.

Hydrophobic/hydrophilic patterned substrates were fabricated on a glass substrate by a liquid phase deposition (LPD) method. Hydrophobic surface was obtained by modifying ZnO thin films with a rough surface using a fluoroalkyltrimethoxysilane (FAS) and hydrophilic surface was prepared by decomposing FAS on an exposed to UV light. The hexagonal ZnO rods were perpendicularly grown by LPD method on glass substrates with a ZnO seed layer. The diameter and thickness of hexagonal ZnO rods were increased as a function of increases of immersion time. The surface morphology, thickness, crystal structure, transmittance and contact angle of prepared ZnO thin films were measured by field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), UV-visible spectrophotometer (UV-vis) and contact angle measurement. Hydrophilic ZnO thin films with a contact angle of $20^{\circ}{\sim}30^{\circ}$ were changed to a hydrophobic surface with a contact angle of $145^{\circ}{\sim}161^{\circ}$ by a FAS surface treatment. Prepared hydrophobic surface was pattered by an irradiation of UV light using shadow mask with $300\;{\mu}m$ or 3 mm dot size. Finally, the hydrophobic surface exposed to UV light was changed to a hydrophilic surface.

Recombinant E.coli ACV 1003 (recA::lacZ) releasing ${\beta}$-galactosidase by a SOS regulon system, when exposed to DNA-damaging compounds, have been used to effectively monitor endocrine disruptors. Low enzyme activity of less than 10 units/mL, corresponding to a $\mu\textrm{g}$/L(ppb) range of an endocrine disruptor (tributyl tin, bisphenol A. etc.), can be rapidly determined, not by a conventional time-consuming and tedious enzyme assay, but by an alternative interferometric biosensor. Heavily boron-doped porous silicon for application as an interferometer, was fabricated by etching to form a Fabry-Perot fringe pattern, which caused a change in the refractive index of the medium including ${\beta}$-galactosidase. In order to enhance the immobilization of the porous silicon surface, a calyx crown derivative (ProLinker A) was applied, instead of a conventional biomolecular affinity method using biotin. This resulted in a denser linked formation. The change in the effective optical thickness versus ${\beta}$-galactosidase activity, showed a linear increase up to a concentration of 150 unit ${\beta}$-galactosidase/mL, unlike the sigmoidal increase pattern observed with the biotin.
