Article Synopsis
- - A new portable DNA biosensor has been created that detects multiple bacteria at once, featuring a low-cost and efficient design.
- - It uses a potentiostat to control the electrochemical process on a specialized platform and monitors current reactions with thionine-functionalized carbon nanodots as indicators.
- - The biosensor is user-friendly, compatible with devices like phones and tablets, and shows better performance than traditional lab-based systems in detecting specific bacterial DNA sequences.
In this work we present a powerful, affordable, and portable biosensor to develop Point of care (POC) SARS-CoV-2 virus detection. It is constructed from a fast, low cost, portable and electronically automatized potentiostat that controls the potential applied to a disposable screen-printed electrochemical platform and the current response. The potentiostat was designed to get the best signal-to-noise ratio, a very simple user interface offering the possibility to be used by any device (computer, mobile phone or tablet), to have a small and portable size, and a cheap manufacturing cost.
