Subsequently, application peptide modified electrodes detecting reviewed finally challenges future prospects outlined.
An electrochemical sensor for the detection of cadmium ions is described using immobilized glutathione as a selective ligand. First, self-assembled monolayer 3-mercaptopropionic acid (MPA) was formed on gold electrode. The carboxyl terminus then allowed attachment (GSH)via carbodiimide coupling to give MPA-GSH modified A ion forms complex with via free sulfhydryl group and also groups. complexed reduced by linear Osteryoung square wave voltammetry limit 5 nM. effect kinetics accumulation...
A novel chemiresistor sensor for detection of organic analytes in high-conductivity aqueous electrolyte solution is reported. The based on thin films gold nanoparticles capped with a 1-hexanethiol monolayer that inkjet printed onto microelectrode. In order change nanoparticle film resistance to be measured, the electronic conduction must preferentially occur through rather than solution. This was achieved by miniaturizing device such double layer capacitance electrodes contact gives rise...
A simple and economical process for fabricating gold electrodes on paper is presented. Gold nanoparticles stabilised with 4-(dimethylamino)pyridine were applied to nail-polish coated filter made conductive using a camera flash sintering step. To test the ability of sintered nanoparticle film function as sensing platform, cysteine was self-assembled used electrochemical determination copper ions. The cysteine-sintered able successfully complex ions, only minor differences in performance...
Surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) technology is an attractive method for the prompt and accurate on-site screening of illicit drugs. As portable systems are available screening, readiness SERS sensing applications predominantly dependent on accuracy, stability cost-effectiveness strip.
