An electrochemical biosensor was developed for the determination of Escherichia coli (E. coli) in water. For this purpose, silver-gold core-shell (Ag@Au) bioconjugates and anti-E. coli modified PS-microwells were designed in a sandwich-type format in order to obtain higher sensitivity and selectivity. Ag@Au bimetallic nanoparticles were synthesized by co-reduction method. The core-shell formation was analyzed by using UV-Vis spectroscopy and transmission electron microscopy. Biotin labeled anti-E. coli antibodies were coupled with Ag@Au nanoparticles to form bioconjugates. The electrochemical ...Daha fazlası
The influence of redox mediators (tetrathiafulvalene (TTF), tetrathiafulvalene-tetracyanoquinodimethane complex (TTF-TCNQ), phenazine methosulfate (PMS), 5,6-diamino-1,10-phenonthroline (5,6-DAP), potassium ferrocyanide (K4[Fe(CN)6]), methylene blue (MB) and toluidine blue (TB)) on the response of amperometric glucose biosensor was investigated in this research. Graphite rod electrode (GRE) modified by adsorbed mediator and glucose oxidase (GOx) cross-linked with glutaraldehyde was served as working electrode. The highest amperometric signals were observed by using TTF and TTF-TCNQ as mediator ...Daha fazlası
In this study, 4-thiophenol modified glassy carbon electrode was prepared by the reduction of 4-diazothiophenol tetrafluoroborate salt. Silver nanoparticles were attached to the thiophenol modified surface to prepare a thiophenol-silver nanoparticle composite film. 4-Aminothiopenol molecules were deposited by self-assembling technique to form multi-layered nanofilms of TP/SNP/PhNH2 on glassy carbon substrate. These surfaces were characterized by cyclic voltammetry, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, reflectance-absorption infrared spectroscopy, and ellips ...Daha fazlası
A single compartment biofuel cell (BFC) based on an anode and a cathode powered by the same fuel glucose is reported. Glucose oxidase (GOx) from Aspergillus niger was applied as a glucose consuming biocatalyst for both anode and cathode of the BFC. The 5-amino-1,10-phenanthroline modified graphite rod electrode (GRE) with cross-linked GOx was used as the bioanode, and the GRE with co-immobilised horseradish peroxidase and GOx was exploited as the biocathode of the BFC. The open-circuit voltage of the designed BFC exceeded 450 mV and a maximal power density of 3.5 µW/cm2 was registered at a cel ...Daha fazlası
3-Aminophenylcalix[4]pyrrole (3APCP) was grafted to a glassy carbon (GC) surface during the electrochemical oxidation process in 0.1 M tetrabutylammoniumtetra-fluoroborate (TBATFB) containing acetonitrile solution. The presence of a surface film was confirmed electrochemically by comparing voltammograms of dopamine and ferricyanide redox probes at the bare and modified electrodes. Reflection-absorption infrared spectroscopy (RAIRS), XPS, atomic force microscopy (AFM), ellipsometry and the contact angle measurements were also employed to characterize 3APCP film on GC electrode. RAIRS analysis r ...Daha fazlası
