X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy analysis of gold surfaces after removal of thiolated DNA oligomers by ultraviolet/ozone treatment
Well-ordered films of molecular DNA can be formed by the attachment of thiolated DNA oligonucleotides to a supporting gold substrate. The gold substrate represents a significant fraction of the total cost of preparing such films, and it is thus important to determine whether such substrates can be reused. Here, we investigate with X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy the suitability of UV/ozonolysis previously employed to remove alkanethiols from gold, for removing 40-mer, single- and double-stranded synthetic DNA. We find that while UV/O3 can indeed remove thiolated DNA from gold slides, the treatment times required permit the implantation of additional organic contaminants
