Fast-response electrochemical biosensor based on a truncated aptamer and MXene heterolayer for West Nile virus detection in human serum.

West Nile virus (WNV) is a mosquito-borne flavivirus that can cause West Nile fever, meningitis, encephalitis, and polio. Early detection of WNV is important to prevent infection spread on the field. To commercialize the electrochemical biosensor for WNV, rapid target detection with the cheap manufacture cost is essential.

Synthesis of Isolated DNA Aptamer and Its Application of AC-Electrothermal Flow-Based Rapid Biosensor for the Detection of Dengue Virus in a Spiked Sample.

Dengue fever is an infectious disease caused by the dengue virus (DENV) and is transmitted by mosquitoes in tropical and subtropical regions. The early detection method at a low cost is essential. To address this, we synthesized the isolated DENV aptamer for fabricating a rapid electrochemical biosensor on a Au interdigitated microgap electrode (AuIMGE).

Construction of a rapid electrochemical biosensor consisting of a nanozyme/aptamer conjugate for waterborne microcystin detection.

Microcystin-LR (MC-LR) is a hepatotoxin generated by the excessive proliferation of cyanobacteria, which is a threat to humans and wildlife. Therefore, rapid detection of MC-LR is an important challenge. This study describes a rapid electrochemical biosensor comprising nanozymes and aptamers.

Recent Advances in DNA Nanotechnology for Plasmonic Biosensor Construction.

Since 2010, DNA nanotechnology has advanced rapidly, helping overcome limitations in the use of DNA solely as genetic material. DNA nanotechnology has thus helped develop a new method for the construction of biosensors. Among bioprobe materials for biosensors, nucleic acids have shown several advantages.
