Abstract

High-resolution, frequency-domain THz spectroscopy is combined with nanofluidic-chip technology to detect absorption signatures in nucleic-acid solutions between 800 and 1100 GHz. Two species are investigated, si- RNA and Lambda DNA, and clearly detected with ~4.2×10−15 and ~1.0×10−16 mol, respectively, in the nanochannels.
