“…A calibration curve that quantitatively relates the change in charge-transfer resistance (ΔR ct ) in response to target DNA hybridization and its concentration was finally constructed. 11,18,39,49,50 Experimental Reagents and instrumentation.-Potassium hexacyanoferrate (III) (K 3 Fe(CN) 6 , >99.0%), potassium hexacyanoferrate(II) (K 2 Fe(CN) 6 , >98.5%), potassium chloride (>99.0%), 0.01 M phosphate-buffered saline (PBS; 0.138 M NaCl, 0.0027 M KCl, pH 7.4), tris(hydroxymethyl)aminomethane hydrochloride (Tris-HCl, >99.8%), anhydrous ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA, >99.0%), and sodium chloride (NaCl, >99.5%) were purchased from Sigma-Aldrich and used as received. Ethanol (>99.9%), silver nitrate (AgNO 3 , >99.8%), and 50% glutaraldehyde were obtained from Daejung (Siheung, Korea).…”
