A novel label-free cocaine assay based on aptamer-wrapped single-walled carbon nanotubes

Objective(s): This paper describes a selective and sensitive biosensor based on the dissolution and aggregation of aptamer wrapped single-walled carbon nanotubes. We report on the direct detection of aptamer–cocaine interactions, namely between a DNA aptamer and cocaine molecules based on near-infrared absorption at λ807. Materials and Methods: First a DNA aptamer recognizing cocaine was non-co...

A carbon–carbon hybrid – immobilizing carbon nanodots onto carbon nanotubes† ‡ †Electronic supplementary information (ESI) available. See DOI: 10.1039/c5sc02728d Click here for additional data file. ‡This article is dedicated to David Schuster on the occasion of his 80th birthday.

The thrust of this work is to integrate small and uniformly sized carbon nanodots (CNDs) with single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNT) of different diameters as electron donors and electron acceptors, respectively, and to test their synergetic interactions in terms of optoelectronic devices. CNDs (denoted pCNDs, where p indicates pressure) were prepared by pressure-controlledmicrowave decompositi...

Controlling nonequilibrium phonon populations in single-walled carbon nanotubes.

We studied spatially isolated single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) immobilized in a quasi-planar optical lambda/2-microresonator using confocal microscopy and spectroscopy. The modified photonic mode density within the resonator is used to selectively enhance or inhibit different Raman transitions of SWNTs. Experimental spectra are presented that exhibit single Raman bands only. Calculations ...
