Abstract

In the time it takes for lunch: An electronic chip featuring nanostructured microelectrodes (NMEs) enables the analysis of microRNA expression profiles in just 30 min in small RNA samples without enzymatic amplification or sequence labeling. The multiplexed chip detects the hybridization of microRNA targets to NME surfaces and provides large electrocatalytic gain through the use of an ultrasensitive redox reporter system (see picture).
