Abstract

We report a novel micro fabricated thin film Ag/AgCl reference electrode (RE) coated with 6-mercepto-1-hexanol (MCH) that enables the highly stable and instant measurement of surface potential and miniaturization of the biosensing device. Integration of this RE into a compact microelectrofluidic device allows us the rapid detection of miRNA with a low concentration requiring a small sample volume (20 μL). A small-scale analog circuit for measurement, and polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) made microfluidic channels are attached on the bottom, and the top of the electrodes respectively in a way that the device can be used multiple times with only replacing the electrodes.
