Efficient deposition of biomolecules on the surface, maintaining their full activity and stability, is a most significant factor in biosensor construction. For this reason, more research focused development electrochemical biosensors that have ability to electrically detect adsorbed molecules electrode surface with high selectivity sensitivity. The presented aims develop an efficient methodolog...

A novel electrochemical sensor for testosterone detection has been prepared by the chemical modification of a gold electrode (AuE). For modification, specific polyurethane (PU) films were synthesized from hexamethylene diisocyanate, olivetol, polyethylene glycol-100 (PEG100) and β-cyclodextrin. The PUs investigated as selective films, used to coat AuE surface at different concentrations thickne...

A new type of optically transparent electrode is fabricated using template-stripped gold film whose surface shows highly oriented, atomically flat terraces and steps. The electrode indicates typical Au(111) electrochemical properties and stability for spectroelectrochemical measurements.

ronment, the determination of trace Hg(II) is important. Atomic absorpt ion and inductively coupled plasma spectroscopic methods are currently widely used. Many publications on this subject focus on electrochemical methods (anodic and potentiometric stripping voltammetry) at a variety of electrode materials. Glassy carbon, goldplated glassy carbon, screen-printed carbon, platinum (Pt) and gold ...

The relative sensitivity of standard gold microelectrodes for electric cell-substrate impedance sensing was compared with that of gold microelectrodes coated with gold nanoparticles, carbon nanotubes, or electroplated gold to introduce nano-scale roughness on the surface of the electrodes. For biological solutions, the electroplated gold coated electrodes had significantly higher sensitivity to...

In this paper, we present a technique to rapidly and directly examine ultramicroelectrodes (UMEs) by white light vertical scanning interferometry (VSI). This technique is especially useful in obtaining topographic information with nanometer resolution without destruction or modification of the UME and in recognizing tips where the metal is recessed below the insulating sheath. Two gold UMEs, on...

Isoniazid (INH) was studied with regard to its electrochemical treatment on a strongly alkaline solution of a poly (3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene)-modified gold electrode, using both cyclic voltammetry and controlled potential techniques. This composite electrode exhibited 4-fold higher oxidation of INH, in accordance with peak densities, than the bare gold electrode. It was used the central compo...

In this article, it is shown that the efficiency of an electrochemical aptasensing device is influenced by the use of different nanoparticles (NPs) such as gold nanoparticles (Au), silver nanoparticles (Ag), hollow gold nanospheres (HGN), hollow silver nanospheres (HSN), silver–gold core shell (Ag@Au), gold–silver core shell (Au@Ag), and silver–gold alloy nanoparticles (Ag/Au). Among these nano...
