Fabrication and characterization of flame retardant 4 and polydimethylsiloxane as substrates for a label-free DNA sensor / Irni Hamiza Hamzah, Emilia Noorsal, Mohammad Nizam Ibrahim, Asrulnizam Abd Manaf and Othman Sidek

Silicon, glass, and ceramic are commonly used base substrates for gold (Au) deposition on label-free DNA biosensors. This study aimed to investigate the suitability of applying flame retardant 4 (FR4) as a base substrate and polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) as a coating substrate. A thermal evaporator wa...
