Abstract

In this work, we report the first electrochemistry-based real-time polymerase chain reaction technique for sequence-specific nucleic acid detection. This new technique builds upon all advantages of the well-established fluorescence-based counterpart such as short assay time (simultaneous target DNA amplification and detection). In addition, this electrochemical approach utilizes simple and miniaturizable instrumentation compared to the bulky and expensive optics required in the fluorescence-based schemes.
