Functionalization of the biosensor with a specific ss-DNA probe (p-DNA).

Real-time and static mode measurements of DNA hybridization with complementary and mismatched target ss-DNAs (t-DNA).

Main Results:

Achieved a wide dynamic range from 100 fM to 1 μM for DNA detection in both real-time and static modes.
Demonstrated the sensor's ability to differentiate between complementary, partially mismatched (SNP, half mismatch), and noncomplementary target DNA sequences.
Validated the effectiveness of gold nanoscale islands and SWCNT network for probe immobilization and signal enhancement.

Conclusions:

The developed [CGi] biosensor platform offers a sensitive, specific, and versatile tool for DNA detection.
The unique electrode design and nanomaterial integration contribute to enhanced sensor performance.
The platform is adaptable for detecting other biomolecules like aptamers and proteins, highlighting its broad applicability.
