Wearable Carbon Nanotube-Based Biosensors on Gloves for Lactate

Carbon nanotube biosensors

Nanomaterials possess unique features which make them particularly attractive for biosensing applications. In particular, carbon nanotubes (CNTs) can serve as scaffolds for immobilization of biomolecules at their surface, and combine several exceptional physical, chemical, electrical, and optical characteristics properties which make them one of the best suited materials for the transduction of...

Carbon-Nanotube Based Electrochemical Biosensors: A Review

This review addresses recent advances in carbon-nanotubes (CNT) based electrochemical biosensors. The unique chemical and physical properties of CNT have paved the way to new and improved sensing devices, in general, and electrochemical biosensors, in particular. CNT-based electrochemical transducers offer substantial improvements in the performance of amperometric enzyme electrodes, immunosens...

Amperometric biosensors based on redox polymer-carbon nanotube-enzyme composites.

Based on their size and unique electrical properties, carbon nanotubes offer the exciting possibility of developing ultrasensitive, electrochemical biosensors. In this study, we describe the construction of amperometric biosensors based on the incorporation of single-walled carbon nanotubes modified with enzyme into redox polymer hydrogels. The composite films were constructed by first incubati...

Horizontally Aligned Carbon Nanotube Based Biosensors for Protein Detection

A novel horizontally aligned single-walled carbon nanotube (CNT) Field Effect Transistor (FET)-based biosensing platform for real-time and sensitive protein detections is proposed. Aligned nanotubes were synthesized on quartz substrate using catalyst contact stamping, surface-guided morphological growth and chemical vapor deposition gas-guided growth methods. Real-time detection of prostate-spe...
