متن کاملApplicability of the Dendrimer-quantum Dot (Den-QD) Bioconjugate as a Novel Nanocomposite for Signal Amplification in the Fabrication of Cocaine Aptasensor
A selective aptasensor was developed using the electrochemical transduction method for the ultrasensitive detection of cocaine. In this method, dendrimer-quantum dot (Den-QD) bioconjugate was utilized as a specific nanocomposite to efficiently fabricate the aptasensor. CdTe QD, which carries highly significant properties, was immobilized on the surface of a glassy carbon electrode (GCE), and po...
