An electrochemiluminescence (ECL) based assay is described for the determination of the endocrine disruptor bisphenol A (BPA). The method is based on the use of carboxylated graphitic carbon nitride (C-g-CN) carrying an immobilized aptamer against BPA. In the presence of BPA, the ECL signal decreases due to ECL energy transfer from excited-state C-g-CN to the BPA oxidation product. Under the optimal conditions, ECL intensity increases linearly in the 0.1 pM to 1 nM BPA concentration range. The detection limit is as low as 30 fM. The assay has excellent sensitivity, outstanding stability and high selectivity. It was applied to the determination of BPA in spiked water samples. Graphical abstract Aptamer modified carboxylated graphitic carbon nitride was synthesized and applied in an electrochemiluminescence-based aptasensor for bisphenol A.

The disinfection of drinking water is essential for eliminating pathogens and preventing waterborne diseases. However, this process generates various disinfection byproducts (DBPs), which toxicological research indicates can have detrimental effects on living organisms. Moreover, the safety of these DBPs has not been sufficiently assessed, underscoring the need for a comprehensive evaluation of their toxic effects and associated health risks.

Biosensors harness biological materials as receptors linked to transducers, enabling the capture and transformation of primary biorecognition signals into measurable outputs. This study presents a novel carboxylation method for synthesizing carboxylated graphene (CG) under acidic conditions, enhancing biosensing capabilities. The characterization of the CG was performed using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS), Raman spectroscopy, thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), and X-ray diffraction (XRD).

Introduction: This article describes the invention of graphene oxide (GO) or reduced graphene oxide (rGO) functionalised with 2-methoxy estradiol. The presence of polar hydroxyl groups enables the binding of 2-ME to GO/rGO through hydrogen bonds with epoxy and hydroxyl groups located on the surface and carbonyl and carboxyl groups located at the edges of graphene flake sheets.
Methods: The patented method of producing the subject of the invention and the research results regarding its anticancer effectiveness via cytotoxicity in an in vivo model (against A375 melanoma and 143B osteosarcoma cells) are described.

A novel carbon-based light-addressable potentiometric aptasensor (C-LAPS) was constructed for detection low-density lipoprotein (LDL) in serum. Carboxylated TiC MXene @reduced graphene oxide (C-MXene@rGO) was used as interface and o-phenylenediamine functionalized nitrogen-doped graphene quantum dots (OPD@NGQDs) as the photoelectric conversion element. The photosensitive layers composed of OPD@NGQDs/C-MXene@rGO exhibit superior photoelectric conversion efficiency and excellent biocompatibility, which contribute to an improved response signal.

Article Synopsis
- This study focuses on creating a new nanocomposite (GO-PAA-Cu-LP) for medical uses through a multi-step synthesis involving graphene oxide and polyacrylic acid.
- The research includes a variety of characterization techniques to analyze the nanocomposite, demonstrating that it retains about 73% of its reactivity even after 9 weeks of storage at low temperatures.
- The findings show that the modified GO-PAA-Cu-LP has enhanced selectivity against cancer cells, promoting apoptosis and cell cycle arrest compared to standard composites and lactoperoxidase alone.
