The application discloses an electrochemical sensor fusing local hairpin self-
assembly and
metal nanoparticle cooperative amplification strategies, which utilizes the characteristics that nano
metal and
thiol are easy to combine to fix
DNA base column probe S1 on the
electrode surface. Then, S1 and HP1, two kinds of
nucleic acid probes, are modified on the nano
metal particles, and auxiliary probe HP2 and
nucleic acid TS to be detected are added, local hairpin self-
assembly reaction occurs among the three, a plurality of
metal nanoparticles are connected with each other through
nucleic acid probes S1 and HP1. The multistage structure is connected with S1 on the
electrode surface, which promotes a large number of oxidation-reduction
signal molecules to be gathered on the
electrode surface in a short time, and multistage amplification is realized. Finally, the
differential pulse voltammetry in the electrochemical technology is utilized to convert the
substance amount of the oxidation-reduction
signal molecules into the current
signal in proportion, and high-sensitivity and large-range
nucleic acid detection sensing is completed. In actual detection, the lowest detectable amount of some
microRNA is in the order of fM.
