Outline of Final Research Achievements

Nano-scale layered structure was fabricated on glass slides modified with silver layer as a metal mirror and with plasma-polymerized film as an optical interference layer. Acetonitrile was utilized as a monomer aiming for the purpose of creating amino group on the surface of plasma-polymerized film. It was shown that fluorescence intensity of Cy5-labeled target DNA was enhanced 6-fold on the modified glass slide compared with the unmodified one, resulting in highly sensitive detection. Amino group-modified probe DNA was immobilized on the surface of acetonitrile film via glutaraldehyde and successfully hybridized to Cy5-labeled target DNA, which was confirmed by enhanced fluorescence intensity. Furthermore, it was confirmed by fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) that amino group was present on the surface of plasma-polymerized film.
