Symmetric and fast (~ 5 ms) on-to-off and off-to-on drain current switching characteristics have been obtained in screen printed organic electrochemical transistors (OECT) including PEDOT:PSS (poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) doped with poly(styrene sulfonic acid)) as the active transistor channel material. Improvement of the drain current switching characteristics is made possible by including...

The aim of this research was to develop a simple, selective and sensitive aptasensor for detection of Pb2+ based on hairpin structure of complementary strand (CS) of aptamer (Apt). Screen printed carbon electrode (SPCE) was electrodeposited by gold nanoparticles to be used as the substrate for the immobilization of Apt-CS. Moreover, gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) and thionine were added to increase...

Deferoxamine (DFO), a hydroxamic siderophore with high affinity for Fe(III), is immobilized as functionalized self-assembled monolayer of thiol (SAM) on the gold surface screen-printed cell to develop voltammetric sensor iron(III). The working electrode was characterized, before and after functionalization, by determining properties such area double-layer capacitance. Fe(III) detection performe...

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...

We attempted to develop a screen-printed biosensor for the amperometric determination of L-lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) level on the basis of NAD(+)/NADH-dependent dehydrogenase reaction. The printing ink for the working electrode consisted of L-lactate, NAD(+), composite polymer of hydroxyethyl cellulose with ethylene glycol, 3,4-dihydroxybenzaldehyde (3,4-DHB) as an electron transferring media...
