This study introduces a dual-mode biosensor specifically designed for the quantitative detection of viruses in rapid analysis. The biosensor is unique in its use of both optical (fluorescence) and electrochemical (impedance) detection methods using the same nanocomposites, providing a dual confirmation system for virus (norovirus-like particles) quantification. The system is based on using two antibody-conjugated nanocomposites: CdSeS quantum dots and Au-N,S-GQD nanocomposites.

Carbon Quantum Dots (CQDs) are already emerged as an excellent sensing element for its exceptional behavior in fluorescence, biocompatibility, and water dispersibility. However, its poor stability, selectivity and reproducibility in complex medium still be a big problem for its practical application. To overcome this, in the work, we have developed a new type of carbon quantum dot-PSS fluorescent nanocomposites which has been used for specific Fe detection.
