Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy on Interdigitated Gold Microelectrodes for Glycosylated Human Serum Albumin Characterization.

Glycosylated albumin is considered as a potentially accurate indicator of shorter-term average glucose concentration compared with the current standard HbA1c and as such, it is attracting the interest of the scientific community as a possible diagnosis marker for diabetic patients. The purpose of this paper is to achieve a better understanding of the glycation effect of albumin on its electrochemical properties. That is done through the use of Interdigitated gold microelectrodes (IDGE) as support in a label free impedimetric immunosensor for the detection of human serum albumin detection in glycated (GA) and non-glycated (HSA) form.

Supported protein G on gold electrode: characterization and immunosensor application.

In this work, we study the electrochemical properties of protein layer grafted on gold electrode for C-reactive protein detection. Two CRP-antibody immobilization methods were used: the first method is based on direct physisorption of CRP-antibody onto the gold surface and the second method is based on oriented CRP-antibody with protein G intermediate layer. The two developed immunosensors were tested against CRP antigen in phosphate buffer saline solution and in human plasma.
