Patent ID: 8202408

Claim:
A nucleotide sensor electrode with a nanoarchitectural design, comprising: a. a substrate comprising a pair of opposed external surfaces separated at a substrate thickness, wherein the substrate further forms a plurality of inner walls extending through the substrate thickness, defining a plurality of micro-/nano-fluidic channels; b. a plurality of MWCNTs, each MWCNT comprising a tubular shape affixed at one end to either one of the external surfaces or one of the inner walls, wherein a first portion of the plurality of MWCNTs project from the external surfaces, and a second portion of the plurality of MWCNTs project from the inner walls; c. a metal coating affixed to the pair of external surfaces, the plurality of inner walls, and the plurality of MWCNTs; and d. a plurality of probe nucleotides affixed to the metal coating.
