Electrochemical sensing of DNA using gold nanoparticles

Maria Teresa Castañeda, Salvador Alegret, Arben Merkoçi . Electroanalysis, 19, p. 743 (2007)
The electrochemical properties of gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) have led to their widespread use as DNA labels. This fact has improved the design strategies for the electrochemical detection of DNA through hybridization event monitoring. The reported DNA hybridization detection modes are based on either AuNP detection after dissolving...

Carbon nanotube composite as novel platform for microbial biosensor

Ülkü Anik Kirgoz, Suna Timur, Dilek Odaci, Briza Pérez-López, Salvador Alegret, Arben Merkoçi. Electroanalysis, 19, p. 893 (2007)
The presented work includes the development of a microbial biosensor based on a carbon-nanotube epoxy composite (CNTEC) platform used as supporting electrode for cell immobilization. For this purpose, cells of Pseudomonas fluorescens were immobilized on the surface of the CNTEC electrode by means of gelatin which was then cross linked...
