Despite all the psychological advantages of alprazolam, its long list of toxic properties and interactions has caused concern and highlighted the need for a reliable sensing method. In this study, we developed a simple, highly sensitive electrochemical nanobiosensor to determine the desirable dose of alprazolam, averting the undesirable consequences of overdose. Gold nanourchins (AuNUs) and iron-nickel reduced graphene oxide (Fe-Ni@rGO) were immobilized on a glassy carbon electrode, which was treated beforehand.

Carbon nanofibers (CNF), as a highly conductive material, were used to modify a glassy carbon electrode (GCE) and thus increase its conductivity. Moreover, to enhance the immobilization of aptamers (Apt) on the electrode surface, graphene oxide functionalized with aspartic acid (GOAsp) was added to the surface.
