Abstract
Nucleic acid aptamers have been widely used as synthetic probes for bioanalytical applications. Herein, we carried out a detailed study on the immobilization of a series of aptamers ranging from 37 to 88 bases, which are specific to either Escherichia coli (E. coli) or Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus), on a planar gold substrate via a polyadenine-mediated immobilization method. The resultant surfaces were characterized by both surface plasmon resonance spectroscopy (SPR) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. The results clearly show that the aptamer solution at a lower ionic strength gives rise to a higher lateral density of the aptamer when compared to that at a higher ionic strength. The SPR aptasensors are then employed for detecting their corresponding bacteria (i.e., E. coli and S. aureus, respectively). The data indicate that the SPR aptasensor with a higher density of aptamer exhibits a better capture of target bacteria.
