MoS/PPy Nanocomposite as a Transducer for Electrochemical Aptasensor of Ampicillin in River Water.

We report the design of an electrochemical aptasensor for ampicillin detection, which is an antibiotic widely used in agriculture and considered to be a water contaminant. We studied the transducing potential of nanostructure composed of MoS2 nanosheets and conductive polypyrrole nanoparticles (PPyNPs) cast on a screen-printed electrode. Fine chemistry is developed to build the biosensors entirely based on robust covalent immobilizations of naphthoquinone as a redox marker and the aptamer.

Curcumin-graphene quantum dots for dual mode sensing platform: Electrochemical and fluorescence detection of APOe4, responsible of Alzheimer's disease.

New dual electrochemical and fluorescence sensitive curcumin-graphene quantum dots sensing platform coated on the transparent Indium-Tin-Oxide electrode was developed to sense APOe4 DNA, responsible of Alzheimer's disease. Curcumin molecule with its dual fluorescence and electrochemical properties was electropolymerized on GQDs-ITO surface. EDC/NHS chemistry was used to covalently immobilize an amino-substituted DNA probe via a malonic acid spacer.
