Abstract
This article presents advances in the electrochemical determination of hormones and steroids since 2000. A wide spectrum of techniques and working electrodes have been involved in the reported measurements in order to obtain the lowest possible limits of detection. The voltammetric and polarographic techniques, due to their sensitivity and easiness, could be used as alternatives to other, more complicated, analytical assays. Still, growing interest in designing a new construction of the working electrodes enables us to prepare new measurement procedures and obtain lower limits of detection. A brief description of the measured compounds has been presented, along with a comparison of the obtained results.

Simple and fast Ag deposition method using a redox enzyme label and quinone substrate for the sensitive electrochemical detection of thyroid-stimulating hormone. Biosens Bioelectron 2022; 197:113773.

Abstract
Enzyme-induced seedless Ag deposition is useful for selective Ag deposition and subsequent electrochemical Ag oxidation; however, a washing step is required after the deposition and before the electrochemical oxidation as the enzyme substrate can be oxidized during the electrochemical oxidation. Here, we report a fast Ag deposition method using a redox enzyme and quinone substrate that does not require a washing step. We found that the quinone substrate is reduced by a redox enzyme label, which is later oxidized to its original form via the reduction of Ag+ to Ag. Moreover, the quinone substrate is not electrochemically oxidized during the electrochemical Ag oxidation. We selected one diaphorase and 1,4-naphthoquinone from among seven redox enzymes (four diaphorases and three glucose-oxidizing enzymes) and six quinones, respectively. We applied this Ag deposition method for the detection of thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) over a dynamic range from 100 fg/mL to 100 ng/mL and found that TSH could be detected at concentrations as low as approximately 100 fg/mL in artificial serum. Therefore, the Ag deposition strategy developed in this study exhibits promising potential for ultrasensitive clinical applications.

Abstract
In multiple biological processes, molecular recognition performs an integral role in detecting bio analytes. Molecular imprinted polymers (MIPs) are tailored sensing materials that can biomimic the biologic ligands and can detect specific target molecules selectively and sensitively. The formulation of molecularly imprinted polymers is followed by the formulation of a control termed as non-imprinted polymer (NIP), which, in the absence of a template, is commonly formulated to evaluate whether distinctive imprints have been produced for the template. Given the difficulties confronting bioanalytical researchers, it is inevitable that this strategy would come out as a central route of multidisciplinary studies to create extremely promising stable artificial receptors as a replacement or accelerate biological matrices. The ease of synthesis, low cost, capability to 'tailor' recognition element for analyte molecules, and stability under harsh environments make MIPs promising candidates as a recognition tool for biosensing. Compared to biological systems, molecular imprinting techniques have several advantages, including high recognition ability, long-term durability, low cost, and robustness, allowing molecularly imprinted polymers to be employed in drug delivery, biosensor technology, and nanotechnology. Molecular imprinted polymer-based sensors still have certain shortcomings in determining biomacromolecules (nucleic acid, protein, lipids, and carbohydrates), considering the vast volume of the latest literature on biomicromolecules. These potential materials are still required to address a few weaknesses until gaining their position in recognition of biomacromolecules. This review aims to highlight the current progress in molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs)-based sensors for the determination of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) or nucleobases.

Abstract
This paper exhibits a thorough review of the use of impedimetric sensors for the analysis of food quality. It helps to understand the contribution of some of the major types of impedimetric sensors that are used for this application. The deployment of impedimetric sensing prototypes has been advantageous due to their wide linear range of responses, detection of the target analyte at low concentrations, good stability, high accuracy and high reproducibility in the results. The choice of these sensors was classified on the basis of structure and the conductive material used to develop them. The first category included the use of nanomaterials such as graphene and metallic nanowires used to form the sensing devices. Different forms of graphene nanoparticles, such as nano-hybrids, nanosheets, and nano-powders, have been largely used to sense biomolecules in the micro-molar range. The use of conductive materials such as gold, copper, tungsten and tin to develop nanowire-based prototypes for the inspection of food quality has also been shown. The second category was based on conventional electromechanical circuits such as electronic noses and other smart systems. Within this sector, the standardized systems, such as electronic noses, and LC circuit -based systems have been explained. Finally, some of the challenges posed by the existing sensors have been listed out, along with an estimate of the increase in the number of sensors employed to assess food quality.

Abstract
Propagating cascade reactions based on two proteases are promising for obtaining high signal amplification. However, in many cases, biosensors that use cascade reactions do not have low detection limits because of the inherent slowness of proteolytic reactions. Here, we report a sensitive electrochemical immunosensor using a high-signal-amplification method that combines a propagating cascade reaction and a redox cycling reaction. The cascade reaction uses ecarin and prothrombin: the ecarin label proteolytically converts inactive prothrombin into active thrombin, which then proteolytically liberates electroactive p-aminophenol (AP) from an AP-conjugated peptide. The liberated AP is electrochemically oxidized to p-benzoquinone imine (QI), regenerated by the reduction of QI by NADH, and then electrochemically reoxidized. This electrochemical-chemical (EC) redox cycling reaction significantly increases the electrochemical signal. The developed immunosensor is also compared with an immunosensor that uses only a propagating cascade reaction and an immunosensor that uses a single proteolytic reaction and an EC redox cycling reaction. The detection limits for thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) obtained using the three immunosensors are 3 pg/mL, 2 ng/mL, and 4 ng/mL, respectively, indicating that the newly developed immunosensor is more sensitive than the other two. The measured concentrations of TSH in clinical serum are found to agree well with those determined using a commercial instrument.

Voltammetric sandwich immunoassay for Cronobacter sakazakii using a screen-printed carbon electrode modified with horseradish peroxidase, reduced graphene oxide, thionine and gold nanoparticles.

Abstract
The authors describe a sandwich-type of electrochemical immunoassay for rapid determination of the foodborne pathogen Cronobacter sakazakii (C. sakazakii). Polyclonal antibody against C. sakazakii (anti-C. sakazakii) and horseradish peroxidase were immobilized on a nanocomposite consisting of reduced graphene oxide, thionine and gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) that was placed on a screen-printed carbon electrode (SPCE). Thionine acts as an electron mediator which also shortens the electron transfer pathway from the conjugated HRP to the electrode surface and amplifies the electrochemical signal. The AuNPs, in turn, improve the electron transfer rate and increase the surface area for capturing antibody. The morphologies of the electrodes were characterized by means of field emission scanning electron microscopy. The electrochemical performance of the immunoassay was evaluated by cyclic voltammetry and differential pulse voltammetry. Under optimal experimental conditions, the electrochemical immunoassay, best operated at a woking potential of -0.18 V (vs. Ag/AgCl) and scan rate of 20 mV/s has a linear response that covers the 8.8 × 104 to 8.8 × 108 CFU·mL-1 C. sakazakii concentration range, with a 1.0 × 104 CFU·mL-1 detection limit (at an S/N ratio of 3). The assay was applied to the detemination of C. sakazakii in spiked infant milk powder and gave recoveries ranging from 92.0 to 105.7%. Graphical abstract A sandwich-type electrochemical immunosensor was designed for C. sakazakii based on the use of rGO. TH, HRP, antibody and AuNPs were anchored on rGO. The nanocomposites were used as traces tag and H2O2 as enzyme substrates. AuNPs were modified on SPCE by electrodeposition.

Abstract
Carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) has been an extensively used tumor marker responsible for clinical early diagnosis of cervical carcinomas, and pancreatic, colorectal, gastric and lung cancer. Combined with micro-electro mechanical system (MEMS) technology, it is important to develop a novel immune microelectrode array (MEA) not only for rapid analysis of serum samples, but also for cell detection in vitro and in vivo. In this work, we depict a simple approach to modify chitosan–multi-walled carbon nanotubes–thionine (CS–MWCNTs–THI) hybrid film through one-step electrochemical deposition and the CS-MWCNTs-THI hybrid films are successfully employed to immobilize anti-CEA for fabricating simple, label-free, and highly sensitive electro-chemical immune MEAs. The detection principle of immune MEA was based on the fact that the increasing formation of the antigen-antibody immunocomplex resulted in the decreased response currents and the relationship between the current reductions with the corresponding CEA concentrations was directly proportional. Experimental results indicated that the label-free MEA had good selectivity and the limit of detection for CEA is 0.5 pg/mL signal to noise ratio (SNR) = 3. A linear calibration plot for the detection of CEA was obtained in a wide concentration range from 1 pg/mL to 100 ng/mL (r = 0.996). This novel MEA has potential applications for detecting CEA for the research on cancer cells and cancer tissue slices as well as for effective early diagnosis.

Abstract
Nanotechnology has played a crucial role in the development of biosensors over the past decade. The development, testing, optimization, and validation of new biosensors has become a highly interdisciplinary effort involving experts in chemistry, biology, physics, engineering, and medicine. The sensitivity, the specificity and the reproducibility of biosensors have improved tremendously as a result of incorporating nanomaterials in their design. In general, nanomaterials-based electrochemical immunosensors amplify the sensitivity by facilitating greater loading of the larger sensing surface with biorecognition molecules as well as improving the electrochemical properties of the transducer. The most common types of nanomaterials and their properties will be described. In addition, the utilization of nanomaterials in immunosensors for biomarker detection will be discussed since these biosensors have enormous potential for a myriad of clinical uses. Electrochemical immunosensors provide a specific and simple analytical alternative as evidenced by their brief analysis times, inexpensive instrumentation, lower assay cost as well as good portability and amenability to miniaturization. The role nanomaterials play in biosensors, their ability to improve detection capabilities in low concentration analytes yielding clinically useful data and their impact on other biosensor performance properties will be discussed. Finally, the most common types of electroanalytical detection methods will be briefly touched upon.

Abstract
In this article, we present an innovative approach for congenital hypothyroidism (CHT) screening. This pathology is the most common preventable cause of mental retardation, affecting newborns around the world. Its consequences could be avoided with an early diagnosis through the thyrotropin (TSH) level measurement. To accomplish the determination of TSH, synthesized zinc oxide (ZnO) nanobeads (NBs) covered by chitosan (CH), ZnO-CH NBs, were covalently attached to the central channel of the designed microfluidic device. These beads were employed as platform for anti-TSH monoclonal antibody immobilization to specifically recognize and capture TSH in neonatal samples without any special pretreatment. Afterwards, the amount of this trapped hormone was quantified by horseradish peroxidase (HRP)-conjugated anti-TSH antibody. HRP reacted with its enzymatic substrate in a redox process, which resulted in the appearance of a current whose magnitude was directly proportional to the level of TSH in the neonatal sample. The structure and morphology of synthesized ZnO-CH NBs were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD). The calculated detection limits for electrochemical detection and the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay procedure were 0.00087 μUI mL(-1) and 0.015 μUI mL(-1), respectively, and the within- and between-assay coefficients of variation were below 6.31% for the proposed method. According to the cut-off value for TSH neonatal screening, a reasonably good limit of detection was achieved. These above-mentioned features make the system advantageous for routine clinical analysis adaptation.

Abstract
Nanoporous gold (NPG) has recently received considerable attention in analytical electrochemistry because of its good conductivity and large specific surface area. A facile layer-by-layer assembly technique fabricated NPG was used to construct an electrochemical immunosensor for carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA). NPG was fabricated on glassy carbon (GC) electrode by alternatively assembling gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) and silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) using 1,4-benzenedimethanethiol as a cross-linker, and then AgNPs were dissolved with HNO3. The thionine was absorbed into the NPG and then gold nanostructure was electrodeposited on the surface through the electrochemical reduction of gold chloride tetrahydrate (HAuCl4). The anti-CEA was directly adsorbed on gold nanostructure fixed on the GC electrode. The linear range of the immunosensor was from 10 pg mL(-1) to 100 ng mL(-1) with a detection limit of 3 pg mL(-1) (S/N=3). The proposed immunosensor has high sensitivity, wide linear range, low detection limit, and good selectivity. The present method could be widely applied to construct other immunosensors.

Abstract
The solid-state method was applied for synthesizing polyaniline (PANI)/noble metal hybrid materials with the presence of HAuCl4·4H2O or H2PtCl6·6H2O in the reaction medium. The structure, morphology, and electrochemical activity of the composites were characterized by Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectra, UV-visible (vis) absorption spectra, energy dispersive spectrum (EDS), X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and cyclic voltammetry. The results from FTIR and UV-vis spectra showed that the oxidation degree and doping level of the PANI in composites can be influenced by HAuCl4·4H2O and H2PtCl6·6H2O. The EDS data demonstrated that the composites contain a certain amount of Au (or Pt) element. XRD analysis indicated the presence of crystalline-state Au particles in PANI matrix prepared from the presence of HAuCl4·4H2O and revealed that the H2PtCl6·6H2O cannot be converted into metal Pt. The TEM and SEM images implied that the Au particles did exist in the polymer matrix with the size of about 20 nm. The enzymeless H2O2 sensor constructed with PANI/Au composite from the presence of HAuCl4·4H2O showed a short response time (within 5 s) and displayed an excellent performance in wide linear range.

Abstract
Methods based on sandwich-type immunosensors and immunoassays have been developed for detection of multivalent antigens/analytes with more than one eptiope due to the use of two matched antibodies. High-affinity antibodies and appropriate labels are usually employed for the amplification of detectable signal. Recent research has looked to develop innovative and powerful novel nanoparticle labels, controlling and tailoring their properties in a very predictable manner to meet the requirements of specific applications. This articles reviews recent advances, exploiting nanoparticle labels, in the sandwich-type immunosensors and immunoassays. Routine approaches involve noble metal nanoparticles, carbon nanomaterials, semiconductor nanoparticles, metal oxide nanostructures, and hybrid nanostructures. The enormous signal enhancement associated with the use of nanoparticle labels and with the formation of nanoparticle-antibody-antigen assemblies provides the basis for sensitive detection of disease-related proteins or biomolecules. Techniques commonly rely on the use of biofunctionalized nanoparticles, inorganic-biological hybrid nanoparticles, and signal tag-doped nanoparticles. Rather than being exhaustive, this review focuses on selected examples to illustrate novel concepts and promising applications. Approaches described include the biofunctionalized nanoparticles, inorganic-biological hybrid nanoparticles, and signal tage-doped nanoparticles. Further, promising application in electrochemical, mass-sensitive, optical and multianalyte detection are discussed in detail.
