In the current paper, enzyme enhanced simultaneous quantitative determination of multiple DNA targets based on capillary electrophoresis (CE) was described. We used three biotin-modified DNA probes, which reacted with avidin-conjugated horseradish peroxidase (avidin-HRP) conjugate to obtain the HRP labeled probes, to hybridize with three corresponding targets. The resulting mixture containing double-strand DNA (dsDNA)-HRP, excess single-strand DNA (ssDNA)-HRP and remaining avidin-HRP was separated by capillary electrophoresis, and then the system of HRP catalyzing H(2)O(2)/o-aminophenol (OAP) reaction was adopted. The catalytic product was detected with electrochemical detection. With this protocol, the limits of quantification for the hybridization assay of 21-, 39- and 80-mer DNA fragments were of 1.2 x 10(-11), 2.4 x 10(-11) and 3.0 x 10(-11)M, respectively. The multiplex assay also provided good specificity without any cross-reaction.
