Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
An apparatus for detecting the presence of a target molecule is disclosed which includes a conductive nanostructure, a non-conductive polymer coating on at least a portion of the nanostructure, and a cavity formed in the polymer coating having a shape corresponding to the shape of the target molecule. A property of the nanostructure depends on the presence of the target molecule at the cavity.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. An apparatus for detecting the presence of a target molecule comprising: a conductive nanostructure; a non-conductive polymer coating on at least a portion of the nanostructure, the non-conductive polymer coating defining a cavity having a shape corresponding to the shape of the target molecule wherein the thickness of at least a portion of the non-conductive polymer coating is less than or about equal to the size of the cavity; and a detection unit conf…
