Despite rapid progress in DNA biosensors by employing various materials as well as techniques, most of the reported sensors are based on specific recognition of a DNA fragment, however can not perform universal measurement of DNA molecules (i.e. genomic DNA). In this work, we proposed a novel DNA biosensing method based on instantaneously electrostatic attraction (IEA) between hexaammineruthenium (III) and DNA molecules. The current variation of freely diffused Ru(NH3)(6)(3+) caused by its quick and strong static interaction with phosphate backbones was employed as a universal probe to detect DNA molecules in solution, with no need for immobilization of capture probes on the electrode. After optimization, 30 mu L of 300 mu M Ru(NH3)(6)(3+) solution was added onto the gold electrode with a working electrode diameter of 2 mm, and a detection limit of 3.8 ng/mu L. was achieved, which is equivalent to NanoDror One spectrometer, the commonly used instrument for DNA quantification. Using reusable and inexpensive gold electrode, the approach provided an easy-operated sequence-independent DNA detection method, and was proved to be able to detect genomic and plasmid DNA directly.
