METHOD FOR MEASURING TELOMERASE ACTIVITY

摘要

Method for measuring telomerase activity, comprising: providing a field-effect transistor equipped with a control gate and a floating gate, wherein said floating gate has at least one free portion exposed to the outside environment; executing a functionalization step, wherein one or more DNA probes are immobilized on said free portion; executing an interaction step, wherein said one or more DNA probes are made to interact with an analyte associated with telomerase, the activity of which needs to be measured; supplying power and polarization to said field-effect transistor; executing a detection step, wherein an electric parameter associated with said field-effect transistor and representative of the activity of said telomerase is detected.
