In this manuscript partially reduced graphene oxide (RGO) nanosheet-based electrodes have been utilized for quantification of the NS1 protein and subsequently for dengue detection. NS1 is the biomarker found circulating in the body of dengue-infected persons on or after first day of the appearance of disease symptoms. Graphene oxide (GO) has been synthesized using a modified Hummer's method, and its ordered nanostructured films have been electrophoretically deposited on indium tin oxide (ITO)-coated glass substrates using Langmuir-Blodgett (LB) deposition.

These nanospindles were utilized for the fabrication of PANI-MoS nanoflower architectures via hydrothermal route. The electrostatic interaction between PANI and MoS improves the conductivity and provides more direct paths for charge transportation.

This template assisted polyaniline nanotubes (t-PANI-NT) were utilized as electrode material after deposition onto the indium tin oxide (ITO) coated glass substrates by using the electrophoretic technique. The structural, morphological and electrochemical characterizations of the t-PANI-NT show relatively better results compared to chemically synthesized PANI-NT (c-PANI-NT).

We report Langmuir-Blodgett (LB) films of molybdenum disulphide (MoS) and gold nanoparticles (AuNP) composite being utilized as a biosensing platform for dengue detection. The LB films of the MoS-AuNP composite have been transferred from the air-water interface to the indium tin oxide-coated glass substrate under optimized conditions. Further, antibodies specific to dengue NS1 antigen were immobilized onto these LB films.
