Electrochemical immunosensor based on ZnO nanorods-Au nanoparticles nanohybrids for ovarian cancer antigen CA-125 detection.

In this research, ZnO nanorods - Au nanoparticles nanohybrids have been fabricated and employed to sensitive electrochemical strategy for the specific detection of the ovarian cancer antigen CA-125/MUC126. The microdevice was developed in our lab based on gold and silver electrodes sputtered on glass substrate. The ZnO nanorods arrays were grown on working electrode using assisted microwave hydrothermal synthesis than gold nanoparticles (Au NPs) were deposited by sputtering.
