Embodiment
Below in conjunction with drawings and Examples, the present invention is described in further detail, but is not limited to this embodiment.
Embodiment:
Referring to Fig. 1, Fig. 1 is the schematic diagram that tumor markers detects carbon nano-tube micro-cantilever biology sensor, comprises support 1, base material 2, carbon nano-tube 3, pick-up circuit 4 and be attached to carbon nano-tube 3 aptamer 5 above.Wherein base material 2 is fixed on support 1 one sides formation micro cantilever structures; Carbon nano-tube 3 be grown in base material 2 above; And pick-up circuit 4 is below base material 2; On carbon nano-tube 3, by hydrophobic effect, be modified with one deck aptamer 5.
The present invention is according to following common process preparation and operation
1, the manufacture of micro cantilever structure
Micro-cantilever is to be base material 2 by Semiconducting Silicon Materials, is processed into micro cantilever structure.
2, the making of pick-up circuit 4
Pick-up circuit is to utilize microelectronic technique to make silicon voltage dependent resistor (VDR) at base material 2 lower surfaces, and four voltage dependent resistor (VDR)s are connected into wheatstone bridge form.
3, semi-girder growth and coating carbon nanotube technique
Upper surface to the base material 2 in abovementioned steps carries out cleaning treatment, carries out Ultrasonic Cleaning respectively with acetone, absolute ethyl alcohol, deionized water, then uses Low Pressure Chemical Vapor Deposition (LPCVD) carbon nano-tube.Also can use pyrolysismethod, cladding process or additive method carbon nano-tube coating on silica-based.
4, the modification of aptamer on carbon nano-tube micro-cantilever
Aptamer is modified in carbon nano-tube by hydrophobic effect, forms a kind of detector probe of energy specific recognition tumor markers, thereby built carbon nano-tube micro-cantilever biology sensor; Aptamer can be to be also modified in carbon nano-tube by π-π superposition.
The step that the present invention detects tumor markers is as follows:
(1) on carbon nano-tube micro-cantilever, first make the detector probe that contains tumor markers aptamer;
(2) detector probe is put into sample to be tested, in sample to be tested, tumor markers is formed compound and is attached on micro-cantilever by the aptamer in specific reaction and detector probe.
(3) in the quality of formed compound size and sample to be tested, tumor-marker substrate concentration is proportionate.
(4) mass change that described compound produces on micro-cantilever causes the variation of micro-cantilever deflection displacement or resonance frequency, thereby realizes the detection to tumor markers.
