In this paper an attempt was made to detect Staphylococcal enterotoxin B (SEB) both by electrochemical and fluorescence immunoassay methods using zinc sulphide (ZnS) QDs. Wet-chemical method was adopted for the preparation of fluorescent ZnS QDs (diameter ∼ 5-10 nm). These QDs were bioconjugated with monoclonal antibodies and then characterized by various method. A detection limit of 0.02 ng mL...

Urine is the most abundant and easily accessible of all body fluids and provides an ideal route for non-invasive diagnosis of human diseases, particularly of the urinary tract. Electrochemical biosensors are well suited for urinary diagnostics due to their excellent sensitivity, low-cost, and ability to detect a wide variety of target molecules including nucleic acids and protein biomarkers. We...

A novel experimental methodology based on a Prussian blue (PB) and gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) modified carbon ionic liquid electrode (CILE) was developed for use in a label-free amperometric immunosensor for the sensitive detection of human immunoglobulin G (HIgG) as a model protein. The CILE was fabricated by using the ionic liquid 1-octyl-3-methylimidazolium hexafluorophosphate as binder. Con...

A disposable simultaneous electrochemical sensor array based on a molecularly imprinted film with a screen-printed electrode (SPE) has been developed for the detection of psychotropic drugs. A molecularly imprinted film (MIF) was synthesized by electro-polymerization using methcathinone and cathinone as the templates and pyrrole (py) as the monomer. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) was employ...

We demonstrate a flexible, mechanically stable, and disposable electrochemical sensor platform for monitoring cardiac troponins through the detection and quantification of cardiac Troponin-T (cTnT). We designed and fabricated nanostructured zinc oxide (ZnO) sensing electrodes on flexible porous polyimide substrates. We demonstrate ultrasensitive detection is capable at very low sample volumes d...

By directly coordinating hippuric acid (HA) to the ferrate (Fe) as an electron transfer mediator, we synthesized a Fe-HA complex, which shows a good electrochemical signal and thus enables the electrochemical immunoanalysis for HA. We electrodeposited organic films containing imidazole groups on the electrode surface and then bonded Ni ion (positive charge) to induce immobilization of Fe-HA (ne...
