Abstract

This paper reports a novel DNA hybridization detection method using gold-streptavidin (Au-streptavidin) conjugates as a reporter, the silver enhancement reaction to magnify the detection signal, and a flatbed scanner to scan and detect the hybridization signal. The detection limit of DNA concentration is 8.25 ng/mL and we also differentiate the specific DNA samples. In addition, the time of the whole detection was 18 minutes, which is shorter than the conventional enzyme staining (approximately 60 minutes).
