An electrochemical aptasensor for detection of trace amounts of aflatoxin M1 was developed. This required immobilization of aptamer on screen printed gold electrode comprising of working electrode, counter electrode and reference electrode and was achieved by sequentially layering dithiodipropionic acid, streptavidin and biotinylated-tetraethylene glycol-aptamer. Immobilization of aptamer was m...

We present the electroanalytical sensing of atropine using disposable and economic screen printed graphite sensors. The electroanalytical determination of atropine is found to be possible over the concentration range of 5 μM to 50 μM with a detection limit of 3.9 μM (based on 3-sigma) found to be possible. We demonstrate proof-of-concept that this approach provides a rapid and inexpensive sensi...

Thin films of organic moiety functionalized carbon nanotubes (CNTs) from a very well-dispersed aqueous solution were designed on a screen printed transducer surface through a single step directed assembly methodology. Very high density of CNTs was obtained on the screen printed electrode surface, with the formation of a thin and uniform layer on transducer substrate. Functionalized CNTs were ch...

This article describes the development of an electrochemical screening strategy for 3,4-methylenedioxymethamphetamine (MDMA), regular psychoactive compound in ecstasy (XTC) pills. We have investigated specific profile MDMA and its electro-oxidation mechanisms at disposable graphite screen-printed electrodes. proved that formation a radical cation subsequent reactions are indeed responsible elec...

A sensitive electrochemical sensor was developed using reduced graphene oxide RGO-Cu2O/Fe2O3 nanocomposite for 6-mercaptopurine detection based on a facile fabrication method. The surface morphology and structural composition of this evaluated by X-ray diffraction (XRD), field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM), Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy. screen-printed graphit...

The fabrication, evaluation and attractive performance of multiwall carbon nanotube(MWCNT)/polysulfone biocomposite membrane modified thick-film screen-printed electrochemical biosensors are reported. The fabricated carbon nanotube/polysulfone (CNT/PS) strips combine the attractive advantages of carbon nanotube materials, polysulfone matrix and disposable screen-printed electrodes. Such thick-f...

In this study, reduced graphene oxide (rGO) was electrochemically deposited on the surface of screen-printed carbon electrodes (SPCE) to prepare a disposable sensor for fast detection of Pb2+ in foods. The SEM images showed that the rGO was homogeneously deposited onto the electrode surface with a wrinkled nanostructure, which provided 2D bridges for electron transport and a larger active area ...

An electrochemical immunosensor based on screen-printed gold working electrode with onboard carbon counter and silver-silver chloride pseudo-reference electrode for Salmonella typhimurium detection is described in this paper. Monoclonal anti-S. typhimurium antibody was immobilized using physical and covalent immobilization via amine coupling of carboxymethyldextran on the surface of the gold wo...

An amperometric cytochrome c-based electrode was developed and applied to the quantification of the scavenging capacity of antioxidants. The enzymatic biosensor was constructed by covalently immobilizing both cyt c and XOD on a mercaptoundecanoic acid/mercaptoundecanol mixed SAMmodified screen-printed gold electrode. The concentration which induces a 50% inhibition of the superoxide level (IC50...
