[Application of DNA-based electrochemical biosensor in rapid detection of Escherichia coli exist in licorice decoction].

A new method for detection of Escherichia coli exist in licorice decoction was developed by using DNA-based electrochemical biosensor. The thiolated capture probe was immobilized on a gold electrode at first. Then the aptamer for Escherichia coli was combined with the capture probe by hybridization.
