Abstract
Terahertz spectroscopy, with the advantages of label-free and non-ionizing has been considered as a potential method for biomolecule detection. Hereby we present a promising approach for the label-free protein sensing in liquid environment. In this work, we designed a grapheme-based device to increase the accumulated amount of protein molecules in the solution. The sensor demonstrates a quick and sensitive response to HER2 proteins and gave a linearly response to the concentrations of HER2 from 63 ng/ml to 4.0 μg/mL. The results demonstrated that once HER2 molecules targeting on the surface of graphene, the conductivity of graphene was significantly changed. This provided us a potential method to detect trace biomarker within liquid phase by using terahertz spectroscopy.
