Immunosensors which display high sensitivity and selectivity are of utmost importance to the biomedical field. Graphene is a material which has immense potential for the fabrication of immunosensors. For the first time, we evaluate the immunosensing capabilities of various graphene surfaces in this work. We propose a simple and label-free electrochemical impedimetric immunosensor for immunoglob...

Graphene-related materials are in the forefront of nanomaterial research. One of the most common ways to prepare graphenes is to oxidize graphite (natural or synthetic) to graphite oxide and exfoliate it to graphene oxide with consequent chemical reduction to chemically reduced graphene. Here, we show that both natural and synthetic graphite contain a large amount of metallic impurities that pe...

To investigate the effects of nano-graphene oxide on the number of kupffer cells and megakaryocytes, in vivo method was applied. In this study, four groups of livers including control, sham, experimental group 1 (using a dose of 17 mg/kg), experimental group 2 (using a dose of 5.5 mg/kg), were investigated. On day 9 of gestation, control group without the effect of graphene oxide, sham group wi...

Being the newest member of the carbon materials family, graphene possesses many unique physical properties resulting is a wide range of applications. Recently, it was discovered that graphene oxide can effectively adsorb DNA, and at the same time, it can completely quench adsorbed fluorophores. These properties make it possible to prepare DNA-based optical sensors using graphene oxide. While pr...

In this paper, we present a simple method for preparation of graphene-ZnO nanocomposites (G-ZnO). The method is based on thermal treatment of the graphene oxide (GO)/ZnO paste which reduces the graphene oxide into the graphene and leads to the formation of the G-ZnO nanocomposite. The structure, morphology and optical properties of synthesized nanocomposites are characterized with XRD, FESEM, F...

In this study a new method by Application of graphene oxide Nano sheets– Melamine –TioOxalic acid composite was exhibited as adsorbent for the elimination of toxic mercury (II) ions from aqueous solutions. The combine has the authority to adsorb the organic and inorganic combines. Through the immobilization of Melamine-TioOxalic acid (MTO) onto graphene oxide nanosheets, the desired composite w...

In this paper, we developed a simple method to detect fungi toxin (ochratoxin A) produced by Aspergillus Ochraceus and Penicillium verrucosumm, utilizing graphene oxide as quencher which can quench the fluorescence of FAM (carboxyfluorescein) attached to toxin-specific aptamer. By optimizing the experimental conditions, we obtained the detection limit of our sensing platform based on bare graph...

The current study both synthesizes and uses four compounds of graphene oxide (GO), nitrogen doped graphene oxide (ND-GO), high nitrogen doped graphene oxide (HND-GO), and three dimensional high nitrogen doped graphene oxide (3D-HND-GO) in order to remove a model anionic dye, Congo red (CR) from wastewaters. It also compares their carbon nano-structure, with regard to removal efficiency and find...

We demonstrate a facile, one-step, protein-directed approach to preparing a new functional reduced graphene oxide via simultaneous reduction and surface functionalization of graphene oxide sheets with herceptin and show its potential application as a novel biological imaging agent.
