This document discusses using nanotechnology to create DNA barcodes for identifying biological targets. It describes attaching unique DNA sequences to nanoparticles that can then bind to specific targets like proteins. Magnetic microparticles coated with antibodies first capture the target, and nanoparticle probes with complementary antibodies and DNA barcodes can then bind. The DNA barcodes are then detected using techniques like PCR to amplify the signal, allowing for ultrasensitive detection of targets down to the attomolar level. This "bio-barcode" approach using nanoparticles could provide a way to multiplex detection of different targets through the unique DNA sequences encoded on each nanoparticle probe.
