A portable and partitioned DNA hydrogel chip for multitarget detection

Abstract

A DNA hydrogel, owing to its dual properties of liquid and solid, is considered to be an ideal material for constructing biosensors that can integrate the advantages of both wet chemistry and dry chemistry. Nevertheless, it has struggled to cope with the demands of high-throughput analysis. A partitioned and chip-based DNA hydrogel is a potential avenue to achieve this, but currently remains a formidable challenge. Here, we developed a portable and partitioned DNA hydrogel chip that can be used for multitarget detection. The partitioned and surface-immobilized DNA hydrogel chip was formed by inter-crosslinking amplification by incorporating target-recognizing fluorescent aptamer hairpins into multiple rolling circle amplification products, which can achieve portable and simultaneous detection of multiple targets. This approach expands the application of semi-dry chemistry strategies, which can realize high throughput and point of care testing (POCT) of different targets, improving the development of hydrogel-based bioanalysis and providing new potential solutions for biomedical detection.
