A stable and antifouling electrochemical biosensor based on a designed cyclic peptide was developed for COVID-19 antigen testing in human blood.

Conducting polypyrrole is a biological compatible polymer matrix wherein number of drugs and enzymes can be incorporated by way of doping. The polypyrrole, which is obtained as freestanding film by electrochemical polymerization, has gained tremendous recognition as sophisticated electronic measuring device in the field of sensors and drug delivery. In drug delivery the reversing of the potenti...

Laccase enzyme, a commonly used enzyme for the construction of biosensors for phenolic compounds was used for the first time to develop a new biosensor for the determination of the azo-dye tartrazine. The electrochemical biosensor was based on the immobilization of laccase on functionalized methacrylate-acrylate microspheres. The biosensor membrane is a composite of the laccase conjugated micro...

A nitric oxide (NO) biosensor based on silver nanoparticles was fabricated with high sensitivity and selectivity as well as stability. Silver nanoparticles could preserve the microstructures of hemoglobin, but the electrochemical reactivity of the protein and its detection sensitivity toward NO could be greatly enhanced. Accordingly, a NO biosensor was developed. The linear concentration range ...

A voltammetric biosensor was developed for the assay of microorganism populations. A tetracycline-modified glassy carbon electrode was used in the construction of the biosensor and an electrochemical cell with an elastic base was employed in the measurement. The possible mechanism of the electrode response was discussed. The determination limit of the microbial populations was 2–5 × 104 cells w...

In this paper, we report a novel electrochemical method that can be developed as a biosensor for simple and direct determination of α-amylase activity. The method is based on the hydrolysis of maltopentaose, the substrate of the enzyme, which is immobilized on the surface of a gold electrode, and the induced charge changes of the substrate-modified electrode. Specifically, the substrate maltope...

UNLABELLED Rapid detection of bacterial pathogens is critical toward judicious management of infectious diseases. Herein, we demonstrate an in situ electrokinetic stringency control approach for a self-assembled monolayer-based electrochemical biosensor toward urinary tract infection diagnosis. The in situ electrokinetic stringency control technique generates Joule heating induced temperature r...

The silver chloride@polyaniline (PANI) core-shell nanocomposites (AgCl@PANI) combined with Au nanoparticles (AuNPs) were used to prepare the AuNPs-AgCl@PANI hybrid material. A novel sensitive label-free low-density lipoprotein (LDL) electrochemical biosensor was fabricated by adsorption of antibody to apolipoprotein B-100 (aopB-100) on an AuNPs-AgCl@PANI-modified glassy carbon (GC) electrode. T...

The design and characterization of a new organic-inorganic hybrid composite material for glucose electrochemical sensing are described. This material is based on the entrapment of both gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) and glucose oxidase, which was chosen as a model, into a sol-gel matrix. The addition of spectroscopic grade graphite to this system, which confers conductivity, leads to the developmen...

We have developed a novel mediated biochemical oxygen demand (BOD) biosensor based on immobilized Bacillus subtilis (B. subtilis) on three-dimensional (3D) porous graphene-polypyrrole (rGO-PPy) composite. The 3D porous rGO-PPy composite was prepared using hydrothermal method following with electropolymerization. Then the 3D porous rGO-PPy composite was used as a support for immobilizing negativ...
