ORNL nanoprobe creates world of new possibilities
... to increase the Raman scattering signal. The ORNL nanoprobe works with any surface to induce the SERS effect. ...loped the nanoprobe. "Also, the small scale of the nanoprobe demonstrates the potential for detection in nanoscale environments, such as at the intracellular lev...ORNL's nanobiosensor technology gives new access to living cells molecular processes

They then inserted the fiberoptic nanoprobe with a biomarker specific for caspase-9 attached to its tip. The presence of caspase-9 caused cleava...Research paves the way for faster, better, cheaper DNA detection method
... Only the perfect matches remain, each with a gold nanoprobe attached and acting as its signal. The signal is then amplified using modified photographic developing solution. In solution, each gold nanoparticle becomes covered with silver and grows in size, increasing the signal by a factor of 100,000. With c...
