Jakkrawhad C, Makkliang F, Nurerk P, Siaj M, Poorahong S. Iron-based metal-organic framework/graphene oxide composite electrodes for efficient flow-injection amperometric detection of dexamethasone. RSC Adv 2024; 14:23921-23929. [PMID: 39086520 PMCID: PMC11289712 DOI: 10.1039/d4ra03815k] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/23/2024] [Accepted: 07/22/2024] [Indexed: 08/02/2024] Open
Abstract
A highly stable flow-injection amperometric sensor for dexamethasone (DEX) was developed using a pencil graphite electrode (PGE) modified with Fe-based metal organic frameworks, MIL-100(Fe) and graphene oxide composite materials (MIL-100(Fe)/GO). Scanning electron microscopy and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, transmission electron microscopy, powder X-ray diffraction, and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy were used to characterize the MIL-100(Fe) composites. The MIL-100(Fe)/GO-modified PGE (denoted MIL-100(Fe)/GO/PGE) was further electrochemically characterized using cyclic voltammetry. As an electrode material, MIL-100(Fe) is a sensing element that undergoes oxidation from Fe(ii)-MOF to Fe(iii)-MOF, and GO possesses high conductivity and a large surface area, which exhibits high absorbability. In the presence of DEX, Fe(iii) is reduced, which accelerates electron transfer at the electrode interface. Therefore, DEX can be quantitatively detected by analyzing the anodic current of MIL-100(Fe). When coupled with amperometric flow injection analysis, excellent performance can be obtained even when a low detection potential is applied (+0.10 V vs. Ag/AgCl). The concentration was linear in the range 0.10-5.0 μM and 0.010-5.0 mM with LOD of 0.030 μM based on 3(sd/slope). The modified electrode also exhibited a remarkably stable response under optimized conditions, and up to 55 injections can be used per electrode. The sensor exhibits high repeatability, reproducibility, and anti-interference properties when used for DEX detection. The effective determination of dexamethasone in real pharmaceutical and cosmetic samples demonstrated the feasibility of the electrochemical sensor, and the results were in good agreement with those obtained from the HPLC-DAD analysis. Acceptable percentage recoveries from the spiked pharmaceutical and cosmetic samples were obtained, ranging from 93-111% for this new method compared with 84-107% for the HPLC-DAD standard method.

[PMID: 38458306 DOI: 10.1016/j.ab.2024.115504] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/13/2023] [Revised: 02/28/2024] [Accepted: 03/06/2024] [Indexed: 03/10/2024]
Abstract
SARS-CoV-2 emerged in late 2019 and quickly spread globally, resulting in significant morbidity, mortality, and socio-economic disruptions. As of now, collaborative global efforts in vaccination and the advent of novel diagnostic tools have considerably curbed the spread and impact of the virus in many regions. Despite this progress, the demand remains for low-cost, accurate, rapid and scalable diagnostic tools to reduce the influence of SARS-CoV-2. Herein, the angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2), a receptor for SARS-CoV-2, was immobilized on two types of electrodes, a screen-printed gold electrode (SPGE) and a screen-printed carbon electrode (SPCE), to develop electrochemical biosensors for detecting SARS-CoV-2 with high sensitivity and selectivity. This was achieved by using 1H, 1H, 2H, 2H-perfluorodecanethiol (PFDT) and aryl diazonium salt serving as linkers for SPGEs and SPCEs, respectively. Once SARS-CoV-2 was anchored onto the ACE2, the interaction of the virus with the redox probe was analyzed using electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) and cyclic voltammetry (CV). Aryl diazonium salt was observed as a superior linker compared to PFDT due to its consistent performance in the modification of the SPCEs and effective ACE2 enzyme immobilization. A distinct pair of redox peaks in the cyclic voltammogram of the biosensor modified with aryl diazonium salt highlighted the redox reaction between the functional groups of SARS-CoV-2 and the redox probe. The sensor presented a linear relationship between the redox response and the logarithm of SARS-CoV-2 concentration, with a detection limit of 1.02 × 106 TCID50/mL (50% tissue culture infectious dose). Furthermore, the biosensor showed remarkable selectivity towards SARS-CoV-2 over H1N1virus.

Abstract
A novel electrochemical sensor was developed for the detection of salivary cortisol levels. The sensor employs a combination of a molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP) and gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) that are electrodeposited onto a screen-printed electrode (SPE). The study utilised density functional theory and molecular docking techniques to determine the geometry of molecular orbitals, electrostatic potential energies, and binding energy of cortisol and the polymers. The thin film of cortisol-imprinted polymer on the SPE was created by electro-polymerizing pyrrole and thiophene-3-carboxylic acid on the electrode surface along with cortisol as the template molecule. The MIP film was characterised using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), and electrochemical techniques. The sensor exhibited a linear response in the concentration range of 0.05 nmol L-1 to 2.5 μmol L-1, with a limit of detection of 0.01 nmol L-1, as determined by differential pulse voltammetry. This method offers a simple yet efficient and sensitive approach to detecting cortisol levels in human saliva samples.

Abstract
Nanostructured electrochemical biosensors have ushered in a new era of diagnostic precision, offering enhanced sensitivity and specificity for clinical biomarker detection. Among them, capacitive biosensing enables ultrasensitive label-free detection of multiple molecular targets. However, the complexity and cost associated with conventional fabrication methods of nanostructured platforms hinder the widespread adoption of these devices. This study introduces a capacitive biosensor that leverages laser-engraved reduced graphene oxide (rGO) electrodes decorated with gold nanoparticles (AuNPs). The fabrication involves laser-scribed GO-Au3+ films, yielding rGO-AuNP electrodes, seamlessly transferred onto a PET substrate via a press-stamping methodology. These electrodes have a remarkable affinity for biomolecular recognition after being functionalized with specific bioreceptors. For example, initial studies with human IgG antibodies confirm the detection capabilities of the biosensor using electrochemical capacitance spectroscopy. Furthermore, the biosensor can quantify CA-19-9 glycoprotein, a clinical cancer biomarker. The biosensor exhibits a dynamic range from 0 to 300 U mL-1, with a limit of detection of 8.9 U mL-1. Rigorous testing with known concentrations of a pretreated CA-19-9 antigen from human fluids confirmed their accuracy and reliability in detecting the glycoprotein. This study signifies notable progress in capacitive biosensing for clinical biomarkers, potentially leading to more accessible and cost-effective point-of-care solutions.

Enhanced sensitivity in electrochemical detection of ochratoxin A within food samples using ferrocene- and aptamer-tethered gold nanoparticles on disposable electrodes. RSC Adv 2024; 14:8007-8015. [PMID: 38454949 PMCID: PMC10918640 DOI: 10.1039/d3ra08567h] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/14/2023] [Accepted: 03/01/2024] [Indexed: 03/09/2024] Open
Abstract
Ensuring food security is crucial for public health, and the presence of mycotoxins, produced by fungi in improperly stored processed or unprocessed food, poses a significant threat. This research introduces a novel approach - a disposable aptasensing platform designed for the detection of ochratoxin A (OTA). The platform employs gold-nanostructured screen-printed carbon electrodes functionalized with a ferrocene derivative, serving as an integrated faradaic transducing system, and an anti-OTA aptamer as a bioreceptor site. Detection relies on the ferrocene electrochemical signal changes induced by the aptamer folding in the presence of the target molecule. Remarkably sensitive, the platform detects OTA within the range of 0.5 to 70 ng mL-1 and a detection limit of 11 pg mL-1. This limit is approximately 200 times below the levels stipulated by the European Commission for agricultural commodities. Notably, the sensing device exhibits efficacy in detecting OTA in complex media, such as roasted coffee beans and wine, without the need for sample pretreatment, yielding accurate recoveries. Furthermore, while label-free electrochemical aptasensors have proliferated, this study addresses a gap in understanding the binding mechanisms of some aptasensors. To enhance the experimental findings, a theoretical study was conducted to underscore the specificity of the anti-OTA aptamer as a donor for OTA detection. The molecular docking technique was employed to unveil the key binding region of the aptamer, providing valuable insights into the aptasensor specificity.

Non-enzymatic glucose detection with screen-printed chemiresistive sensor using green synthesised silver nanoparticle and multi-walled carbon nanotubes-zinc oxide nanofibers.

Abstract
Non-enzymatic screen-printed chemiresistive interdigitated electrodes (SPCIE) were designed and fabricated using a low-cost screen-printing method for detection of the glucose. The interdigitated electrodes (IDE) pattern was printed using conductive graphene ink on the glossy surface of the photo paper. The proposed glossy photo paper-based SPCIE are functionalized with multi-walled carbon nanotubes-zinc oxide (MWCNTs-ZnO) nanofibers to create the chemiresistive matrix. Further, to bind these nanofibers with the graphene electrode surface, we have used the green synthesized silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) with banana flower stem fluid (BFSF) as a binder solution. AgNPs with BFSF form the conductive porous natural binder layer (CPNBL). It does not allow to increase the resistivity of the deposited material on graphene electrodes and also keeps the nanofibers intact with paper-based SPCIE. The synthesized material of MWCNT-ZnO nanofibers and green synthesized AgNPs with BFSF as a binder were characterized by Ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy (UV-vis), scanning electron microscope (SEM), x-ray diffraction (XRD), and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). The amperometric measurements were performed on the proposed SPCIE sensor to detect the glucose sample directly. The innovative paper-based SPCIE glucose sensor exhibits a linear corelation between current measurements and glucose concentration in the range between 45.22μm and 20 mm, with a regression coefficient (R2) of 0.9902 and a lower limit of detection (LoD) of 45.22μm (n= 5). The sensitivity of the developed SPCIE sensor was 2178.57μAmM-1cm-2, and the sensor's response time determined was approximately equal to 18 s. The proposed sensor was also tested for real blood serum sample, and relative standard deviation (RSD) was found equal to 2.95%.

Abstract
Animal viruses are a significant threat to animal health and are easily spread across the globe with the rise of globalization. The limitations in diagnosing and treating animal virus infections have made the transmission of diseases and animal deaths unpredictable. Therefore, early diagnosis of animal virus infections is crucial to prevent the spread of diseases and reduce economic losses. To address the need for rapid diagnosis, electrochemical sensors have emerged as promising tools. Electrochemical methods present numerous benefits, including heightened sensitivity and selectivity, affordability, ease of use, portability, and rapid analysis, making them suitable for real-time virus detection. This paper focuses on the construction of electrochemical biosensors, as well as promising biosensor models, and expounds its advantages in virus detection, which is a promising research direction.

Abstract
Transistor-based biosensors represent an emerging technology for inexpensive point-of-care testing (POCT) applications. However, the limited sensitivity of the current transistor technologies hinders their practical deployment. In this study, we developed tri-channel In2O3/ZnO heterojunction thin-film transistors (TFTs) featuring the surface-immobilized enzyme glucose oxidase to detect glucose in various biofluids. This unusual channel design facilitates strong coupling between the electrons transported along the buried In2O3/ZnO heterointerface and the electrostatic perturbations caused by the interactions between glucose and surface-immobilized glucose oxidase. The enzyme selectively binds to glucose, causing a change in charge density on the channel surface. By exploring this effect, the solid-state biosensing TFT (BioTFT) can selectively detect glucose in artificial and real saliva over a wide range of concentrations from 500 nM to 20 mM with limits of detection of ∼365 pM (artificial saliva) and ∼416 nM (real saliva) in less than 60 s. The specificity of the sensor towards glucose has been demonstrated against various interfering species in artificial saliva, further highlighting its unique capabilities. Moreover, the BioTFTs exhibited good operating stability upon storage for up to two weeks, with relative standard deviation (RSD) values ranging from 2.36% to 6.39% for 500 nM glucose concentration. Our BioTFTs are easy to manufacture with reliable operation, making them ideal for non-invasive POCT applications.

Abstract
Graphene quantum dots (GQDs) were made via a hydrothermal process with glucose as a precursor undergoing carbonization. Different spectroscopic techniques were used to analyze the optical characteristics of GQDs, including UV-visible, photoluminescence, FTIR, and Raman spectroscopy. Atomic force microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, and X-ray diffraction were used to characterize the morphological and structural properties of GQDs. An electrochemical sensor was developed by drop casting GQDs on a glassy carbon electrode (GCE). The sensor detects the organophosphate pesticide malathion in a selective and sensitive manner. Using cyclic voltammetry, the sensor's oxidation-reduction behavior was investigated. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy was conducted to study the electrochemical properties of the modified the GQDs/GCE working electrode, which showed excellent charge transfer properties. We measured malathion in varying concentrations between 1 to 30 µM using differential pulse voltammetry, which resulted in a limit of detection of 0.62 nM. GQDs can thus be used to develop electrochemical sensors for the detection of pesticides in water.

Abstract
Scanning electrochemical microscopy (SECM) is a versatile scanning probe technique that allows monitoring of a plethora of electrochemical reactions on a highly resolved local scale. SECM in combination with atomic force microscopy (AFM) is particularly well suited to acquire electrochemical data correlated to sample topography, elasticity, and adhesion, respectively. The resolution achievable in SECM depends critically on the properties of the probe acting as an electrochemical sensor, i.e., the working electrode, which is scanned over the sample. Hence, the development of SECM probes received much attention in recent years. However, for the operation and performance of SECM, the fluid cell and the three-electrode setup are also of paramount importance. These two aspects received much less attention so far. Here, we present a novel approach to the universal implementation of a three-electrode setup for SECM in practically any fluid cell. The integration of all three electrodes (working, counter, and reference) near the cantilever provides many advantages, such as the usage of conventional AFM fluid cells also for SECM or enables the measurement in liquid drops. Moreover, the other electrodes become easily exchangeable as they are combined with the cantilever substrate. Thereby, the handling is improved significantly. We demonstrated that high-resolution SECM, i.e., resolving features smaller than 250 nm in the electrochemical signal, could be achieved with the new setup and that the electrochemical performance was equivalent to the one obtained with macroscopic electrodes.

Electrochemical biosensor for trypsin activity assay based on cleavage of immobilized tyrosine-containing peptide. Talanta 2023; 257:124341. [PMID: 36821964 DOI: 10.1016/j.talanta.2023.124341] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/08/2022] [Revised: 01/13/2023] [Accepted: 02/09/2023] [Indexed: 02/16/2023]
Abstract
In this work, we proposed a biosensor for trypsin proteolytic activity assay using immobilization of model peptides on screen-printed electrodes (SPE) modified with gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) prepared by electrosynthetic method. Sensing of proteolytic activity was based on electrochemical oxidation of tyrosine residues of peptides. We designed peptides containing N-terminal cysteine residue for immobilization on an SPE, modified with gold nanoparticles, trypsin-specific cleavage site and tyrosine residue as a redox label. The peptides were immobilized on SPE by formation of chemical bonds between mercapto groups of the N-terminal cysteine residues and AuNPs. After the incubation with trypsin, time-dependent cleavage of the immobilized peptides was observed by decline in tyrosine electrochemical oxidation signal. The kinetic parameters of trypsin, such as the catalytic constant (kcat), the Michaelis constant (KM) and the catalytic efficiency (kcat/KM), toward the CGGGRYR peptide were determined as 0.33 ± 0.01 min-1, 198 ± 24 nM and 0.0016 min-1 nM-1, respectively. Using the developed biosensor, we demonstrated the possibility of analysis of trypsin specificity toward the peptides with amino acid residues disrupting proteolysis. Further, we designed the peptides with proline or glutamic acid residues after the cleavage site (CGGRPYR and CGGREYR), and trypsin had reduced activity toward both of them according to the existing knowledge of the enzyme specificity. The developed biosensor system allows one to perform a comparative analysis of the protease steady-state kinetic parameters and specificity toward model peptides with different amino acid sequences.

Abstract
Significant progress has been made in nanomaterial-modified electrodes for highly efficient electroanalysis of arsenic(III) (As(III)). However, the modifiers prepared using some physical methods may easily fall off, and active sites are not uniform, causing the potential instability of the modified electrode. This work first reports a promising practical strategy without any modifiers via utilizing only soluble Fe3+ as a trigger to detect trace-level As(III) in natural water. This method reaches an actual detection limit of 1 ppb on bare glassy carbon electrodes and a sensitivity of 0.296 μA ppb-1 with excellent stability. Kinetic simulations and experimental evidence confirm the codeposition mechanism that Fe3+ is preferentially deposited as Fe0, which are active sites to adsorb As(III) and H+ on the electrode surface. This facilitates the formation of AsH3, which could further react with Fe2+ to produce more As0 and Fe0. Meanwhile, the produced Fe0 can also accelerate the efficient enrichment of As0. Remarkably, the proposed sensing mechanism is a general rule for the electroanalysis of As(III) that is triggered by iron group ions (Fe2+, Fe3+, Co2+, and Ni2+). The interference analysis of coexisting ions (Cu2+, Zn2+, Al3+, Hg2+, Cd2+, Pb2+, SO42-, NO3-, Cl-, and F-) indicates that only Cu2+, Pb2+, and F- showed inhibitory effects on As(III) due to the competition of active sites. Surprisingly, adding iron power effectively eliminates the interference of Cu2+ in natural water, achieving a higher sensitivity for 1-15 ppb As(III) (0.487 μA ppb-1). This study provides effective solutions to overcome the potential instability of modified electrodes and offers a practical sensing platform for analyzing other heavy-metal anions.

Abstract
This work describes the formulation of a stable platinum nanoparticle-based ink for drop-on-demand inkjet printing and fabrication of metallic platinum thin films. A highly conductive functional nanoink was formulated based on dodecanethiol platinum nanoparticles (3-5 nm) dispersed in a toluene-terpineol mixture with a loading of 15 wt %, compatible with inkjet printing. The reduced sintering temperatures (200 °C) make them interesting for integration in devices using flexible substrates and substrates that cannot tolerate high-temperature exposures. A resistive platinum heater was successfully printed as a demonstrator for integration of the platinum ink. The platinum nanoink developed herein will be, therefore, attractive for a range of applications in biology, chemistry, and printed electronics.

Abstract
Introduction: In clinical work, the realization of an early diagnosis of Subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) is primarily based on conventional computed tomography (CT), MR angiography, transcranial Doppler (TCD) ultrasound, and neurological assessments. However, the association between imaging manifestations and clinical findings is insufficiently perfect, particularly in SAH patients in acute phases with a lower amount of blood. The establishment of a direct, rapid and ultra-sensitive detection method based on electrochemical biosensors has emerged as a new competitive challenge in disease biomarkers research. Methods: In this study, a novel free-labeled electrochemical immunosensor for rapidly and sensitively detecting IL-6 in subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) blood has been developed using Au nanospheres-thionine composites (AuNPs/THI) as the interface modified on the electrode. Then, we detected IL-6 in blood samples from SAH patients by (enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay) ELISA and electrochemical immunosensor. Results: Under the best conditions, the developed electrochemical immunosensor exhibited a wide linear range from 10-2 ng/mL to 102 ng/mL with a low detection limit of 1.85 pg/mL. Furthermore, when the immunosensor was employed in the analysis of IL-6 in 100% serum, the results obtained by electrochemical immunoassay were consistent with those obtained by ELISA without suffering from other significant biological interference. Discussion: The designed electrochemical immunosensor realizes the detection of IL-6 in actual serum samples with high accuracy and sensitivity, and could potentially become a promising technique for applications in the clinical diagnosis of SAH.

Abstract
The COVID-19 pandemic has emphasized the importance and urgent need for rapid and accurate diagnostic tests for detecting and screening this infection. Our proposal was to develop a biosensor based on an ELISA immunoassay for monitoring antibodies against SARS-CoV-2 in human serum samples. The nucleocapsid protein (N protein) from SARS-CoV-2 was employed as a specific receptor for the detection of SARS-CoV-2 nucleocapsid immunoglobulin G. N protein was immobilized on the surface of a screen-printed carbon electrode (SPCE) modified with carboxylated graphene (CG). The percentage of IgG-SARS-CoV-2 nucleocapsid present was quantified using a secondary antibody labeled with horseradish peroxidase (HRP) (anti-IgG-HRP) catalyzed using 3,3',5,5'-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) mediator by chronoamperometry. A linear response was obtained in the range of 1:1000-1:200 v/v in phosphate buffer solution (PBS), and the detection limit calculated was 1:4947 v/v. The chronoamperometric method showed electrical signals directly proportional to antibody concentrations due to antigen-antibody (Ag-Ab) specific and stable binding reaction.

Abstract
In this study, a molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP)-based screen-printed cell is developed for detecting phenoxy herbicides using 2-methyl-4-chlorophenoxyacetic acid (MCPA) as the template. MCPA is a phenoxy herbicide widely used since 1945 to control broadleaf weeds via growth regulation, primarily in pasture and cereal crops. The potentiometric cell consists of a silver/silver chloride pseudo-reference electrode and a graphite working electrode coated with a MIP film. The polymeric layer is thermally formed after drop-coating of a pre-polymeric mixture composed of the reagents at the following molar ratio: 1 MCPA: 15 MAA (methacrylic acid): 7 EGDMA (ethylene glycol dimethacrylate). After template removal, the recognition cavities function as the ionophore of a classical ion selective electrode (ISE) membrane. The detected ion is the deprotonated MCPA specie, negatively charged, so the measurements were performed in phosphate buffer at pH 5.5. A linear decrease of the potential with MCPA concentration, ranging from 4 × 10-8 to 1 × 10-6 mol L-1, was obtained. The detection limit and the limit of quantification were, respectively, 10 nmol L-1 and 40 nmol L-1. A Nernstian slope of about -59 mV/dec was achieved. The method has precision and LOD required for MCPA determination in contaminated environmental samples.

Abstract
We demonstrated potential features of gold nanoparticle bipyramid (AuNB) for an electrochemical biosensor. The facile synthesis method and controllable shape and size of the AuNB are achieved through the optimization of cetyltrimethylammonium chloride (CTAC) surfactant over citric acid (CA) ratio determining the control of typically spherical Au seed size and its transition into a penta-twinned crystal structure. We observe that the optimized ratio of CTAC and CA facilitates flocculation control in which Au seeds with size as tiny as ∼14.8 nm could be attained and finally transformed into AuNB structures with an average length of ∼55 nm with high reproducibility. To improve the electrochemical sensing performance of a screen-printed carbon electrode, surface modification with AuNB via distinctive linking procedures effectively enhanced the electroactive surface area by 40%. Carried out for the detection of dopamine, a neurotransmitter frequently linked to the risk of Parkinson's, Alzheimer's, and Huntington's diseases, the AuNB decorated-carbon electrode shows outstanding electrocatalytic activity that improves sensing performance, including high sensitivity, low detection limit, wide dynamic range, high selectivity against different analytes, such as ascorbic acid, uric acid and urea, and excellent reproducibility.

This work focuses on the development of a novel electrochemical sensor for the determination of morphine in the presence of diclofenac. The facile synthesis of graphene-Co3O4 nanocomposite was performed. The prepared material (graphene-Co3O4 nanocomposite) was analyzed by diverse microscopic and spectroscopic approaches for its crystallinity, composition, and morphology. Concerning the electrochemical determinations, after drop-casting the as-fabricated graphene-Co3O4 nanocomposite on the surface of a screen-printed graphite electrode (SPGE), their electrochemical performance was scrutinized towards the morphine detection. It was also found that an SPGE modified by a graphene-Co3O4 nanocomposite exhibited better electrocatalytic activity for morphine oxidation than unmodified electrode. Under optimal conditions, the differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) was employed to explore the present sensor (graphene-Co3O4/SPGE), the findings of which revealed a linear dynamic range as broad as 0.02-575.0 µM and a limit of detection (LOD) as narrow as 0.007 μM. The sensitivity was estimated to be 0.4 µM/(µA cm2). Furthermore, the graphene-Co3O4/SPGE sensor demonstrated good analytical efficiency for sensing morphine in the presence of diclofenac in well-spaced anodic peaks. According to the DPV results, this sensor displayed two distinct peaks for the oxidation of morphine and diclofenac with 350 mV potential difference. In addition, the graphene-Co3O4/SPGE was explored for voltammetric determination of diclofenac and morphine in pharmaceutical and biological specimens of morphine ampoule, diclofenac tablet, and urine, where recovery rates close to 100% were recorded for all of the samples.

Abstract
New screen-printed sensor with a boron-doped diamond working electrode (SP/BDDE) was fabricated using a large-area linear antenna microwave chemical deposition vapor system (LA-MWCVD) with a novel precursor composition. It combines the advantages of disposable printed sensors, such as tailored design, low cost, and easy mass production, with excellent electrochemical properties of BDDE, including a wide available potential window, low background currents, chemical resistance, and resistance to passivation. The newly prepared SP/BDDEs were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and Raman spectroscopy. Their electrochemical properties were investigated by cyclic voltammetry and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy using inner sphere ([Fe(CN)6]4-/3-) and outer sphere ([Ru(NH3)6]2+/3+) redox probes. Moreover, the applicability of these new sensors was verified by analysis of the anti-inflammatory drug lornoxicam in model and pharmaceutical samples. Using optimized differential pulse voltammetry in Britton-Robinson buffer of pH 3, detection limits for lornoxicam were 9 × 10-8 mol L-1. The oxidation mechanism of lornoxicam was investigated using bulk electrolysis and online electrochemical cell with mass spectrometry; nine distinct reaction steps and corresponding products and intermediates were identified.

Abstract
Integrating sensors in miniaturized devices allow for fast and sensitive detection and precise control of experimental conditions. One of the potential applications of a sensor-integrated microfluidic system is to measure the solute concentration during crystallization. In this study, a continuous-flow microfluidic mixer is paired with an electrochemical sensor to enable in situ measurement of the supersaturation. This sensor is investigated as the predictive measurement of the supersaturation during the antisolvent crystallization of l-histidine in the water-ethanol mixture. Among the various metals tested in a batch system for their sensitivity toward l-histidine, Pt showed the highest sensitivity. A Pt-printed electrode was inserted in the continuous-flow microfluidic mixer, and the cyclic voltammograms of the system were obtained for different concentrations of l-histidine and different water-to-ethanol ratios. The sensor was calibrated for different ratios of antisolvent and concentrations of l-histidine with respect to the change of the measured anodic slope. Additionally, a machine-learning algorithm using neural networks was developed to predict the supersaturation of l-histidine from the measured anodic slope. The electrochemical sensors have shown sensitivity toward l-histidine, l-glutamic acid, and o-aminobenzoic acid, which consist of functional groups present in almost 80% of small-molecule drugs on the market. The machine learning-guided electrochemical sensors can be applied to other small molecules with similar functional groups for automated screening of crystallization conditions in microfluidic devices.

Abstract
Nanomaterials can be used to modify electrodes and improve the conductivity and the performance of electrochemical sensors. Among various nanomaterials, gold-based nanostructures have been used as an anchoring platform for the functionalization of biosensor surfaces. One of the main advantages of using gold for the modification of electrodes is its great affinity for thiol-containing molecules, such as proteins, forming a strong Au-S bond. In this work, we present an impedimetric biosensor based on gold nanoparticles and a truncated aptamer for the quantification of gluten in hydrolyzed matrices such as beer and soy sauce. A good relationship between the Rct values and PWG-Gliadin concentration was found in the range between 0.1–1 mg L−1 of gliadin (corresponding to 0.2–2 mg L−1 of gluten) with a limit of detection of 0.05 mg L−1 of gliadin (corresponding to 0.1 mg L−1 of gluten). The label-free assay was also successfully applied for the determination of real food samples.

Abstract
The purpose of this study was to fabricate an electrochemical sensor for the detection of methotrexate and folic acid based on a screen-printed graphite electrode (SPGE) modified with prepared iron oxide (Fe3O4)/polypyrrole (ppy)/Palladium (Pd) nanocomposite. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM), energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) techniques were employed to characterize the Fe3O4/ppy/Pd nanocomposite. The produced modifier was used to induce a remarkable electrocatalytic impact relative to the oxidation of methotrexate, which caused the potential peak shift to a less positive amount (from 800 mV to about 500 mV) and improved the peak current (from 5.3 μA to about 16 μA). Methotrexate peak current was linearly dependent on its concentration from 0.03100.0 μM and the limit of detection (LOD) was estimated at 7.0 nM. The methotrexate and folic acid were co-detected by the proposed sensor. The experimental results indicated that the oxidation peaks of methotrexate and folic acid were separated about 200 mV in phosphate buffer solution (PBS) at pH 7.0. Fe3O4/ppy/Pd/SPGE was successfully able to detect methotrexate and folic acid in pharmaceutical and biological samples with excellent recovery.

Abstract
Several gold platforms of different morphologies were investigated in the elaboration of a new aptasensor for oxytetracycline. Au-nanostructures were electrochemically synthesized from solutions of different concentrations of HAuCl4 in different media by chronoamperometry, multipulse amperometry, and chronopotentiometry, respectively at carbon-based screen-printed electrodes (C-SPE). The nano-/micro-scale morphologies of the patterned surfaces and elemental composition were examined by scanning electron microscopy, atomic force microscopy, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, respectively. The electrochemical properties of the obtained gold nanostructured platforms (AuNSs|C-SPE) were investigated to achieve optimal aptamer coverage. The results showed that the aptasensor developed using the platform with thistle-like AuNSs exhibited the highest conductivity in terms of ferrocene signal and the largest effective area. Under optimal conditions, a linear range from 5.0 × 10-8 M to 1.2 × 10-6 M, with a limit of detection (LOD) of 8.7 × 10-9 M OXT were obtained, which is about 20 times lower than the EU regulations for OXT residues in milk. The electrochemical aptasensor was able to discriminate other antibacterial agents, such as amoxicillin, ampicillin, gentamicin, tetracycline, and vancomycin and was successfully applied in milk samples. This "signal-on" aptasensing approach provides a simple and cost-effective disposable sensor that could be easily applied for the on-site determination of antibiotics.

Abstract
We have developed a highly sensitive sensor of ZnFe2O4/reduced graphene oxide (ZnFe2O4/RGO) nanocomposite for electrochemical detection of hydrazine, fabricated by a simple hydrothermal protocol. Subsequently, a screen-printed electrode (SPE) surface was modified with the proposed nanocomposite (ZnFe2O4/RGO/SPE), and revealed an admirable electrocatalytic capacity for hydrazine oxidation. The ZnFe2O4/RGO/SPE sensor could selectively determine micromolar hydrazine concentrations. The as-produced sensor demonstrated excellent ability to detect hydrazine due to the synergistic impacts of the unique electrocatalytic capacity of ZnFe2O4 plus the potent physicochemical features of RGO such as manifold catalytic sites, great area-normalized edge-plane structures, high conductivity, and large surface area. The hydrazine detection using differential pulse voltammetry exhibited a broad linear dynamic range (0.03-610.0 µM) with a low limit of detection (0.01 µM).

Abstract
The detection of biomolecular analytes is of great importance in clinical, environmental, and argo-food areas, among which the electrochemical methodology is attracting much attention. In particular, screen-printed electrode (SPE)-based sensing applications have exhibited potential possibility for on-site detection, especially for fast clinical biomarker detection, since they provide a miniaturized but robust and portable electrode detection system. In this context, we focused on the modification of SPE with functional antibodies to improve the electrochemical detection performance in versatile sensing applications, particularly for COVID-19 detection. These antibodies were immobilized onto the electrode surface via various methodologies, through which the powerful potential from the modification of SPE was revealed. Finally, more novel and excellent works on the biomolecular modification of SPE and the prospects of this technology from its state-of-art status to commercialization are previewed and future perspectives in this field are mentioned.

Electrochemical sensor based on screen printed carbon electrode-zinc oxide nano particles/molecularly imprinted-polymer (SPCE-ZnONPs/MIP) for detection of sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS). RSC Adv 2021; 12:743-752. [PMID: 35425090 PMCID: PMC8978621 DOI: 10.1039/d1ra06862h] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/13/2021] [Accepted: 11/29/2021] [Indexed: 12/23/2022] Open
Abstract
The foremost objective of this work is to prepare a novel electrochemical sensor-based screen-printed carbon electrode made of zinc oxide nanoparticles/molecularly imprinted polymer (SPCE-ZnONPs/MIP) and investigate its characteristics to detect sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS). The MIP that is polyglutamic acid (PGA) film was synthesized via in situ electro-polymerization. The SDS's recognition site was left on the surface of the PGA film after extraction using the cyclic voltammetry (CV) technique, facilitating the specific detection of SDS. Moreover, the ZnONPs (∼71 nm, polydispersity index of 0.138) were synthesized and effectively combined with the MIP by a drop-casting method, enhancing the current response. The surface of the prepared SPCE-ZnONPs/MIP was characterized by scanning electron microscopy and energy dispersive X-ray. Besides, the electrochemical performance of the SPCE-ZnONPs/MIP was also studied through CV and differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) techniques. As an outstanding result, it is observed that the current response of SPCE-ZnONPs/MIP for detection of SDS remarkably increased almost four times higher from 0.009 mA to 0.041 mA in comparison with bare SPCE. More importantly, the proposed SPCE-ZnONPs/MIP exhibited an excellent selectivity (in the presence of interfering molecules of Ca2+, Pb2+, as well as sodium dodecylbenzene sulfonate (SDBS)), sensitivity, reproducibility, and repeatability. Since the modified sensor offers portability, it is suitable for in situ environment and cosmetic monitoring.

An electrochemical immunosensor using SARS-CoV-2 spike protein-nickel hydroxide nanoparticles bio-conjugate modified SPCE for ultrasensitive detection of SARS-CoV-2 antibodies. Microchem J 2021; 170:106718.

Abstract
As a promising approach for serological tests, the present study aimed at designing a robust electrochemical biosensor for selective and quantitative analysis of SARS-CoV-2-specific viral antibodies. In our proposed strategy, recombinant SARS-CoV-2 spike protein antigen (spike protein) was used as a specific receptor to detect SARS-CoV-2-specific viral antibodies. In this sense, with a layer of nickel hydroxide nanoparticles (Ni(OH)2 NPs), the screen-printed carbon electrode (SPCE) surface was directly electrodeposited to ensure better loading of spike protein on the surface of SPCE. The differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) showed signals which were inversely proportional to the concentrations of the antibody (from 1 fg mL-1 L to 1 µg mL-1) via a specific and stable binding reaction. The assay was performed in 20 min with a low detection limit of 0.3 fg mL-1. This biodevice had high sensitivity and specificity as compared to non-specific antibodies. Moreover, it can be regarded as a highly sensitive immunological diagnostic method for SARS-CoV-2 antibody in which no labeling is required. The fabricated hand-held biodevice showed an average satisfactory recovery rate of ~99-103% for the determination of antibodies in real blood serum samples with the possibility of being widely used in individual serological qualitative monitoring. Also, the biodevice was tested using real patients and healthy people samples, where the results are already confirmed using the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) procedure, and showed satisfactory results.

Abstract
Electrodeposition is an electrochemical method employed to deposit stable and robust gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) on electrode surfaces for creating chemically modified electrodes (CMEs). The use of several electrodeposition techniques with different experimental parameters allow in obtaining various surface morphologies of AuNPs deposited on the electrode surface. By considering the electrodeposition of AuNPs in various background electrolytes could play an important strategy in finding the most suitable formation of the electrodeposited AuNP films on the electrode surface. This is because different electrode roughnesses can have different effects on the electrochemical activities of the modified electrodes. Thus, in this study, the electrodeposition of AuNPs onto the glassy carbon (GC) electrode surfaces in various aqueous neutral and acidic electrolytes was achieved by using the cyclic voltammetry (CV) technique with no adjustable CV parameters. Then, surface morphologies and electrochemical activities of the electrodeposited AuNPs were investigated using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), atomic force microscopy (AFM), CV, and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). The obtained SEM and 3D-AFM images show that AuNPs deposited at the GC electrode prepared in NaNO3 solution form a significantly better, uniform, and homogeneous electrodeposited AuNP film on the GC electrode surface with nanoparticle sizes ranging from ∼36 to 60 nm. Meanwhile, from the electrochemical performances of the AuNP-modified GC electrodes, characterized by using a mixture of ferricyanide and ferrocyanide ions [Fe(CN6)3-/4-], there is no significant difference observed in the case of charge-transfer resistances (R ct) and heterogeneous electron-transfer rate constants (k o), although there are differences in the surface morphologies of the electrodeposited AuNP films. Remarkably, the R ct values of the AuNP-modified GC electrodes are lower than those of the bare GC electrode by 18-fold, as the R ct values were found to be ∼6 Ω (p < 0.001, n = 3). This has resulted in obtaining k o values of AuNP-modified GC electrodes between the magnitude of 10-2 and 10-3 cm s-1, giving a faster electron-transfer rate than that of the bare GC electrode (10-4 cm s-1). This study confirms that using an appropriate supporting background electrolyte plays a critical role in preparing electrodeposited AuNP films. This approach could lead to nanostructures with a more densely, uniformly, and homogeneously electrodeposited AuNP film on the electrode surfaces, albeit utilizing an easy and simple preparation method.

Abstract
The development of an Aptamer based biosensor for the selective detection of human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) with high sensitivity and specificity was achieved. A screen-printed carbon electrode was used in the scope of this work. The HER2 Aptamer was immobilized via electrostatic adsorption on the surface of a screen-printed electrode, which was modified with Au Nanoparticles (~ 20 nm diameter) to support the Aptamer immobilization. The Aptasensor was extensively investigated using Cyclic voltammetry, Differential pulse voltammetry, Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and Atomic force microscopy. The Aptasensor exhibits a fast response with a binding time of only 5 min and shows a log-linear response over a wide concentration range of 0.001-100 ng/mL. Moreover, it has high sensitivity and enhanced detection limit reaching 52.85 μA/ng/mL, and 0.001 ng/mL, respectively, with a relative standard deviation < 5%. The Aptasensor selectivity was studied by using different interfering substances, and the results demonstrate that the Aptasensor is efficient for the detection of HER2 with approximately 8% extent of the interference.

Abstract
Screen-printed sensing electrodes attract much attention for water pollution monitoring due to their small size, physical and chemical durability, and low cost. This paper presents the fabrication and broad potentiometric characterization of RuO2 pH sensing electrodes deposited by screen printing on alumina substrates and sintered in the 800–900 °C temperature range. All the fabricated electrodes showed close to Nernstian sensitivity, good linearity, fast response, small drift, low hysteresis, and low cross-sensitivity toward various interfering cations and anions. Furthermore, decreasing the sintering temperature led to better adhesion of the RuO2 layer and a negligible response to interfering ions. The measurements in real-life samples from different water sources showed that the fabricated electrodes are on par with conventional glass electrodes with a maximum deviation of 0.11 pH units, thus indicating their potential for application in water quality monitoring.

Abstract
Novel sensing technologies proposed must fulfill the demands of wastewater treatment plants, the food industry, and environmental control agencies: simple, fast, inexpensive, and reliable methodologies for onsite screening, monitoring, and analysis. These represent alternatives to conventional analytical methods (ICP-MS and LC-MS) that require expensive and non-portable instrumentation. This needs to be controlled by qualified technicians, resulting moreover in a long delay between sampling and high-cost analysis. Electrochemical analysis based on screen-printed electrodes (SPEs) represents an excellent miniaturized and portable alternative due to their disposable character, good reproducibility, and low-cost commercial availability. SPEs application is widely extended, which makes it important to design functionalization strategies to improve their analytical response. In this sense, different types of nanoparticles (NPs) have been used to enhance the electrochemical features of SPEs. NPs size (1–100 nm) provides them with unique optical, mechanical, electrical, and chemical properties that give the modified SPEs increased electrode surface area, increased mass-transport rate, and faster electron transfer. Recent progress in nanoscale material science has led to the creation of reproducible, customizable, and simple synthetic procedures to obtain a wide variety of shaped NPs. This mini-review attempts to present an overview of the enhancement of the electrochemical response of SPEs when NPs with different morphologies are used for their surface modification

Abstract
Uric acid (UA) is a residual product of purines in the body and has been proposed as a valuable biomarker for Diabetes Mellitus, renal disorder, hypertension and preeclampsia. This work presents a sensing platform for nonenzymatic UA detection using a screen-printed electrode modified with gold nanoparticles (SPE-AuNps) operated with the compact and low-cost amperometric reader AMP3291. This laboratory-made instrument was designed using the analog front end LMP91000 and the microcontroller ESP32; the operational parameters like working potential, acquisition time and dynamic measuring range were configured for UA detection. The whole sensing system (AMP3291+ SPE-AuNps) was evaluated for nonenzymatic sensing of UA, showing a fast response time of 3.5 s, a sensitivity of 0.022 μA·μM−1, a linear range from 20 to 200 μM (R2 = 0.993) and a limit of detection of 11.91 μM. Throughout, a piece of commercial equipment was used for validation and noticeably the measurements with the AMP3291-based platform showed improved performance, indicating the feasibility of the developed instrument for UA monitoring and potentially for in situ decentralized applications. Finally, artificial saliva was used as model medium exhibiting interesting analytical parameters, encouraging to consider the reported system as a potentially valuable tool for monitoring UA for clinical applications in resource-limited settings.
