Chip calorimetry is a promising method for the label-free detection of biomolecules. Miniaturized calorimetric devices using stagnant droplets require sample volumes in the nano-liter range, but exhibit some limitations regarding volume specific signal resolution, baseline stability, and evaporation. In this paper, we describe the application of a silicon chip based flow-through calorimeter for the detection of biotin and aptamers. To achieve high sensitivity, receptors coupled to magnetic beads were used. Streptavidin served as a receptor for the detection of biotin. For the first time, the chip-calorimetric response to DNA hybridization has been successfully demonstrated. For these experiments, the biotinylated complement of the DNA oligomer was coupled to the streptavidin surface of magnetic beads. (C) 2009 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
