This communication demonstrates an electrochemical DNA aptasensor for the detection of cortisol in human sweat. The aptasensor was fabricated layer-by-layer assembly on stretchable polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) coated with conductive nanoporous carbon nanotube-cellulose nanocrystals (CNC/CNT) film using a linker to a cortisol specific DNA aptamer. The flexible cortisol aptasensor had a dynamic range of 2.

Article Synopsis
  • A novel selective cortisol sensor made from poly(glycidylmethacrylate-co-ethylene glycol dimethacrylate) enables rapid cortisol detection in human sweat using an affordable layer-by-layer assembly technique.
  • The sensor incorporates a flexible PDMS base with conductive nanoporous films and demonstrates a quick response time of just 3 minutes.
  • It offers high sensitivity with a detection limit of 2.0 ng/mL, a dynamic range of 10-66 ng/mL, and maintains stability and specificity, effectively distinguishing cortisol from various other substances.
