BIOL 233 |
| Three-dimensional biochips prepared in this study are composed with a glass slide and aerogel dots on it. The aerogel was produced by the sol-gel process using an ionic liquid as the template followed by an solvent extraction to remove the template and build a three-dimensional mesoporous structure. The aerogel dots on chips were chemically modified and further verified their functionality as biochips by performing a sandwich immunoassay on the top of the aerogel dots. The signal intensities were observed to amplify in around two magnitudes of order due to the enormous surface area generated by the aerogel compared with those on two-dimensional flat glass surfaces. |
