Fast and highly parallel DNA analysis are essential for improved biomedical research and development. Currently fluorescence-based methods are state of the art in DNA microarray analysis. The necessity to modify the target DNA with labels is costly, laborious and requires skilled personnel. Moreover, false positive calls from unspecific adsorption are possible and it is difficult to discriminate perfect matching target sequences from those with a single mismatch. In this paper a new and simple electrochemical approach for hybridisation detection without the need of labelling the target DNA is described. The EDDA (Electrically Detected Displacement Assay) method uses a solution of short redox-labelled signalling oligonucleotides (oligonucleotides carrying a covalently attached redox active compound like ferrocene) to characterize the hybridisation state of label-free capture probe DNA immobilised on gold electrodes. The number of capture probes associated with signalling oligonucleotides is determined by chronocoulometry. This technique allows to separate the electrochemical response of capture probe associated signal probes from the response of freely diffusing signalling probes. In the absence of the complementary target sequences the redox-labelled signalling probes at the surface give rise to an instantaneous increase of the detection signal, while freely diffusing signalling probes show a significantly delayed response. Hybridisation with targets complementary to the capture probe displace the loosely associated signalling probes thereby decreasing the instantaneous signal. Besides an introduction to the EDDA technology, data validating the method for biological material will be presented and an outlook to the detection of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) is given.
