ABSTRACT
This work presents a clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeat (CRISPR)/Cas-nanopipette nano-electrochemistry (Cas = CRISPR-associated proteins) capable of ultrasensitive microRNA detection. Nanoconfinement of the CRISPR/Cas13a within a nanopipette leads to a high catalytic efficacy of ca. 169 times higher than that in bulk electrolyte, contributing to the amplified electrochemical responses. CRISPR/Cas13a-enabled detection of representative microRNA-25 achieves a low limit of detection down to 10 aM. Practical application of this method is further demonstrated for single-cell and real human serum detection. Its general applicability is validated by addressing microRNA-141 and the SARS-CoV-2 RNA gene fragment. This work introduces a new CRISPR/Cas-empowered nanotechnology for ultrasensitive nano-electrochemistry and bioanalysis.
