Abstract

Purpose

The purpose of this study is to fabricate a transducer-based TiO2 interdigitated microelectrodes with various gap sizes. The most stable electrical properties have been selected for Escherichia. coli O157:H7 DNA detection.

Design/methodology/approach

Sol-gel was used to synthesize TiO2 nanoparticles. Lift-off photolithography process was used for fabrication of interdigitated electrodes (IDEs) and dry-state DNA detection was done using a Picoammeter.

Findings

TiO2 nanoparticles IDEs with 16-um gap size is able to detect DNA of E. coli in a dry state.

Originality/value

This paper describes IDEs for dry-state detection of E. coli O157:H7 DNA. The technique presented in this paper ensures the high uniformity of nanoparticle deposition on the finger electrode.
