Abstract
This review addresses the design of immunosensors, which employ ZnO nanostructures. Various methods of modifying ZnO nanostructures with antibodies or antigens are discussed, including covalent and non-covalent approaches and cross-linking techniques. Immunosensors based on different properties of ZnO nanomaterials are described and compared. This article provides a comprehensive review of electrochemical immunosensors based on ZnO nanostructures and various detection techniques, including cyclic voltammetry (CV), differential pulse voltammetry (DPV), photoelectrochemical (PEC) detection, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), and other electrochemical methods. In addition, this review article examines the application of optical detection techniques, including photoluminescence (PL) and electrochemiluminescence (ECL), in the development of immunosensors based on ZnO nanostructures.

BIOSENSORS 2023; 13:bios13040440. [PMID: 37185515 PMCID: PMC10135836 DOI: 10.3390/bios13040440] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/14/2023] [Revised: 03/26/2023] [Accepted: 03/28/2023] [Indexed: 05/17/2023]
Abstract
Day-old male chick culling is one of the world's most inhumane problems in the poultry industry. Every year, seven billion male chicks are slaughtered in laying-hen hatcheries due to their higher feed exchange rate, lower management than female chicks, and higher production costs. This study describes a novel non-invasive method for determining the gender of chicken eggs. During the incubation period of fourteen days, four electrodes were attached to each egg for data collection. On the last day of incubation, a standard polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-based chicken gender determination protocol was applied to the eggs to obtain the gender information. A relationship was built between the collected data and the egg's gender, and it was discovered to have a reliable connection, indicating that the chicken egg gender can be determined by measuring the impedance data of the eggs on day 9 of incubation with the four electrodes set and using the self-normalization technique. This is a groundbreaking discovery, demonstrating that impedance spectroscopy can be used to sex chicken eggs before they hatch, relieving the poultry industry of such an ethical burden.
