The synthesis of Au nanocubes is used to label alpha-fetoprotein antibody (anti-AFP) and horseradish peroxidase (HRP) to form an immune complex for antibody detection. Graphene oxide-methylene blue-gold nanoparticles (GO-MB-AuNPs) nanocomposites were used as the immunosensing platform. This proposed sandwich-type immunoassay shows good performance. This method establishes a feasible amperometric immunoassay method for sensitive analysis of AFP in serum samples. Under the optimal experimental conditions, the DPV current response of the immunosensor is proportional to the logarithmic value of the AFP concentration. The linear detection range can achieve to 0.005-20 ng/mL with a detection limit of 1.5 pg/mL. The proposed immunosensor has good precision, selectivity and stability, and can be used for AFP determination in clinical tests.

Human papillomavirus type 16 (HPV-16) is a key driver in the development of cervical carcinoma, with the integration of its genome into the host DNA marking a critical step in disease progression. Monitoring the physical state of HPV-16, particularly the transition from episomal to integrated forms, is essential for evaluating the risk of malignancy development in cervix. This study presents the development of a duplex electrochemical biosensor for the simultaneous detection of the E2 and E6 genes of HPV-16.

An electrochemical CCLP-AuNPs (Calcium Cross Linked Pectin with Gold nanoparticles)-based biosensor was developed for sensitive detection and discrimination of carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) based on dual signal amplification of gold nanoparticles tagged enzymatic catalysis. The electrochemical biosensor was fabricated by assembly of CCLP-AuNp modified GCE and subsequently anti CEA was immobilized on the modified GCE followed by the addition of CEA protein and then forming a sandwich-type conjugate was formed when the biosensor was successively reacted with Au-Anti CEA-HRP(Gold nanoparticles tagged with the antibody Carcinoembryonic antigen labelled with Horse radish peroxidase). In the presence of hydroquinone and hydrogen peroxide, in the PB(phosphate buffer) solution resulted in the fabrication of biosensor.

Multicomponent transition metal heterostructures is constructed through a heteroatomic doping method sandwiched by the dual carbon layers. The promising strategy combines iron and manganese ions into a novel FeMnO heterostructure on the surface of the rGO nanosheets, followed by sulfur-doping and calcination processes to achieve S-doped-rGO@FeMnO@C heterostructure. Note that S-doped FeMnO nanorods encapsulated by the carbon coating layers on the rGO nanosheets as the backbone are expected to restrict nanorods from collapsing during the charge-discharge processes.

Carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) is a broad-spectrum tumor marker expressed in various human cancers. In this study, the electrode loaded with AuNPs was used to replace the traditional electrode, providing more active sites for biological probes and significantly enhancing the sensitivity of the sensor. By constructing an aptamer-antigen-aptamer "sandwich structure," highly selective detection was achieved, effectively avoiding cross-reactions.

This work envisages design and optimization of a ruthenium(ii) half-sandwich complex as supradecorated homogeneous electrochemical sensor for simultaneous detection of rifampicin (RIF) and isoniazid (INH) as first-line anti-tuberculosis drugs in aqueous environments. The electrochemical profile of GCE/ruthenium(ii) half-sandwich complex sensor was analyzed using cyclic voltammetry, differential pulse voltammetry and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS).
