The continuous outbreaks of foodborne diseases have drawn public attentions to food safety. Early screening of foodborne pathogens is crucial to prevent and control of foodborne diseases. In this study, a novel electrochemical aptasensor was developed for rapid and sensitive detection of E. coli O157:H7 using the coaxial capillary with immune magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) for specific separatio...

A novel photoelectrochemical aptasensor for adenosine triphosphate (ATP) detection was developed by introducing inorganic−organic photoactive nanocomposites as sensitization agents to achieve significant signal amplification. Specifically, a TiO2/Au hybrid structure was first fabricated by decorating Au nanoparticles on the surface of TiO2 film, which then was used as the photoelectrochemical m...

In this work, a sensitive electrochemical aptasensor for the detection of thrombin (TB) is developed and demonstrated based on the co-catalysis of hemin/G-quadruplex, platinum nanoparticles (PtNPs) and flower-like MnO2 nanosphere functionalized multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNT-MnO2).

In this communication, a new photoelectrochemical aptasensor with Au nanoparticle functionalized self-doped TiO2 nanotube arrays (Au/SD-TiO2 NTs) as the core sensing unit and aptamers as the recognition unit was set up to accomplish the sensitive and selective detection of kanamycin with the lowest detection limit of 0.1 nM.

We have developed an amplified fluorescence polarization aptasensor that relies on aptamer structure-switching-triggered nanoparticles (NPs) enhancement for biomolecules detection. This new type of assay exhibits higher detection sensitivity over traditional homogeneous aptasensors by two orders of magnitude and high specificity for target molecules.

An aptamer to selectively detect ochratoxin A (OTA) in cereals was developed using silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) combination with reduced graphene oxide (rGO). As a result of characterization experiments conducted this study, AgNPs were confirmed be polydisperse. The electrocatalytic activity achieved by immobilizing OTA-bovine serum albumin (OTA-BSA) on the rGO/AgNPs substrate. On basis experim...

electrochemical aptamer-based sensors attract a lot of interest as useful methods because of their low cost, accuracy, sensitivity, and simplicity. an electro-active redox molecule comprises the main part of the electrochemical-based sensors. ferrocene is one of the most popular redox molecule used in biosensor fabrication. but, instability of ferrocenium ion in strong nucleophilic reagents and...
