A novel label-free electrochemical immunosensor for the ultrasensitive determination of cancer antigen (CA724) was developed using a novel composite of CoAl layered double hydroxides (CoAl-LDH) and carboxyl-functionalized multiwall carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs-COOH) as platform and ferrocenecarboxylic acid (Fc-COOH) as signal label. The MWCNTs-COOH/Fc-COOH@CoAl-LDH composite was prepared by a convenient and simple one-step ultrasonic method, and various characterization techniques consisting of scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transimission electronic microscopy (TEM), TEM-Mapping, fourier transform infrared (FT-IR), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and X-ray photoelectronic energy spectrum (XPS) were applied to study the size and morphological features. Due to its large specific surface area and multilayer structure, the CoAl-LDH can be post-doped to embed a large amount of signal probe to realize the amplification of the internal reference signal Fc.

However, accurately quantifying low-abundance ctDNA in human serum remains a significant challenge. To address this challenge, we introduce a bimodal biosensor tailored for detecting the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutation L858R in specific nonsmall cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients.

Current methods to detect MUC1 are expensive, time-consuming, and require skilled personnel. Therefore, developing a simple, sensitive, highly selective MUC1 detection sensor is necessary.

Biosensors show great potential in the analysis and detection of disease markers. In this study, we designed electrochemical sensors based on three-dimensional amino-functionalized reduced graphene oxide (3D-rGOF-NH), MgAl layered double hydroxide nanocomposites containing ordered mesoporous carbon (CMK-3), and ferrocene carboxylic acids(Fc-COOH)for the detection of CA125.
