The efficiency of gold nanoparticle (AuNP) dimerization mediated by hybridization between two probe DNA molecules and a complementary target DNA molecule was maximized by examining several possible hybridization combinations. The uniformity of the size of the AuNPs, the use of surface modification appropriate for high hybridization efficiency, together with efficient blocking of nonspecific binding, all contributed to achieving a 1 pM detection limit following conventional gel electrophoresis separation of the DNA-modified AuNP multimers. This practical homogeneous DNA hybridization assay methodology will provide a rapid, cost-effective, and field-portable tool for clinical diagnosis.
