Use of a capacitive affinity biosensor for sensitive and selective detection and quantification of DNA—A model study

Highlights • A DNA-sensor was developed to monitor the hybridization of complementary ssDNAs.• The signal strength was proportional to the length of short oligonucleotides.• Elevated temperature was observed to reduce non-specific interactions.• The study proposes sandwich hybridization approach to improve signal strength.
