A resistive-pulse sensor chip for multianalyte immunoassays.

MultiAnalyte immunoassays are often required to diagnose a pathologic condition. Here, we show how resistive-pulse sensing and multiple artificial pores can be integrated together on a single chip to detect different antigens rapidly and simultaneously. We use multiple pores on a single chip to detect the size change of latex colloids upon specific antigen-antibody binding on the colloid surface. As a proof-of-principle, we demonstrate our ability to detect simultaneously human G-CSF and GM-CSF antigens on a single chip. Our novel technique is a scalable technology that can lead to the sensing of at least N2 antigens simultaneously with an N N array of pores on a single chip.
