Abstract

ELISA Extended-nano Single cell TLM Chemical Engineering (miscellaneous) Bioengineering
We report a novel ELISA (Enzyme-Linked ImmunoSorbent Assay) system utilizing extended nanospace (3μm wide and 300 nm deep) for analysis at singlemolecule level. Nanofabrication, nanofluidic system and detector (thermal lens microscope, TLM) were realized. Repeatable immunoassay format was developed by chemisorption of capture antibody at glass wall. The performance was evaluated, and LOD of 20 molecules (60 pL sample volume) were verified. This system will become powerful tool for single cell analysis due to the quite small volume. © 2008 CBMS.
