PURPOSE Rapid diagnosis of urinary tract infection would have a significant beneficial impact on clinical management, particularly in patients with structural or functional urinary tract abnormalities who are highly susceptible to recurrent polymicrobial infections. We examined the analytical validity of an electrochemical biosensor array for rapid molecular diagnosis of urinary tract infection...

In this paper, we report for the first time an electrochemical biosensor for single-step, reagentless, and picomolar detection of a sequence-specific DNA-binding protein using a double-stranded, electrode-bound DNA probe terminally modified with a redox active label close to the electrode surface. This new methodology is based upon local repression of electrolyte diffusion associated with prote...

in this study, we explained a nanobiosensor for dna sequence detection, featuring sequence specificity, cost efficiency, speed, and ease of use. without the need for labels or indicators, it may be ideal for the detection of biological agents. this review describes recent advances in electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (eis) with an emphasis on using nanoparticles and nanotechnology. a power...

a label-free electrochemical nucleic acid aptasensor for the detection of methamphetamine (ma) by the immobilization of thiolated self-assembled dna sequences on a gold nanoparticles-chitosan modified electrode is constructed. when ma was complexed specifically to the aptamer, the configuration of the nucleic acid aptamer switched to a locked structure and the interface of the biosensor changed...

INTRODUCTION Various optical measurement techniques have been developed for the characterization of surface states during electrochemical processes. Surface plasmon resonance (SPR) spectroscopy has been used in combination with electrochemistry to investigate the electronic structure of metal-electrolyte interfaces [1]. We reported the current efficiency of refractive index changes that occurre...

We present a label-free biosensor based on electrochemical impedance spectroscopy for the detection of proinflammatory cytokine Tumor Necrosis Factor (TNF-α). Secretion of TNF-α has been correlated to the onset of various diseases including rheumatoid arthritis, Crohn’s disease etc. Gold electrodes were patterned on a silicon substrate and self assembled monolayer of dithiobis-succinimidyl prop...

The enzymes immobilization of the is crucially effective factor in biosensor preparation. Metal nanoparticles potentially able to immobilize the enzymes according to unique properties including large surface-to-volume ratio, high surface reaction activity, high catalytic efficiency, and strong adsorption ability. A novel and highly sensitive amperometric glucose biosensor was obtained by using ...

We developed a versatile and highly sensitive biosensor platform. The platform is based on electrochemical-enzymatic redox cycling induced by selective enzyme immobilization on nano-sized carbon interdigitated electrodes (IDEs) decorated with gold nanoparticles (AuNPs). Without resorting to sophisticated nanofabrication technologies, we used batch wafer-level carbon microelectromechanical syste...

Background Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a neurodegenerative disorder characterized by progressive cognitive and memory impairment. It is the most common neurological disease that causes dementia. Soluble amyloid-beta oligomers (AβO) in blood or cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) are the pathogenic biomarker correlated with AD. Methods A simple electrochemical biosensor using graphene oxide/gold nanopar...
