Descripción
Nanoscale electrodes have been a topic of intense research for many decades. Their enhanced sensitivities, born out of an improved signal-to-noise ratio as electrode dimensions decrease, make them ideal for the development of low-concentration analyte sensors. However, to date, nanoelectrode fabrication has typically required expensive equipment and exhaustive, time-consuming fabrication methods that have rendered them unsuitable for widespread use and commercialization. Herein, a method of nanoband electrode fabrication using low cost materials and equipment commonly found in research laboratories around the world is reported. The materials´ cost to produce each nanoband is less than €0.01 and fabrication of a batch takes less than 1 h. The devices can be made of flexible plastics and their designs can be quickly and easily iterated. Facile methods of combining these nanobands into powerful devices, such as complete three-electrode systems, are also displayed. As a proof of concept, the electrodes are functionalized for the detection of a DNA sequence specific to SARS-CoV-2 and found to display single molecule sensitivity.
