DNA-based electrochemical biosensor using chitosan–carbon nanotubes composite film for biodetection of Pirazon

Abstract

The interaction of Pirazon (PIR) with calf thymus ds-DNA (double-stranded Deoxyribonucleic acid) in the solution and the immobilized DNA on chitosan-carbon nanotubes composite-modified gold electrode was investigated by electrochemical and UV-Vis spectroscopy techniques. In the solution interactions, spectroscopic results indicate non-intercalative binding of PIR. A competition study with methylene blue, as an intercalative probe, was applied to confirm the binding mode of PIR. PIR showed an oxidation peak at 1.1 V at the bare Au electrode. When ds-DNA was added into the PIR solution, its peak current decreased. Au electrode modified with single wall carbon nanotube (SWCNT) and chitosan (CS) decorated with the ds-DNA was tested to determine PIR content in solution. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) and cyclic voltammetry (CV) were used to characterize the electrochemical properties of the modified electrode. The modified electrode surface has good reproducibility and stability. The modified electrode exhibited linear detection range, 5×10-9 to 5×10-5 M, with a detection limit of 1×10-10 M.

Electrochemical strategies for detection of Diazinon: A review

“…This is due to the fact that the interactions between different materials when they are at the nanoscale (10 −9 m), are able to generate new properties where unique phenomena may occur, different from those observed at the macroscopic scale, thus giving rise to the possibility of new applications for these materials [71][72][73][74][75][76][77][78][79][80][81][82][83][84][85][86][87][88][89][90]. Various materials such as carbon-based nanomaterials, metal oxides, metals complex, polymers, and biological compounds can be used to modify electrode surfaces [91][92][93][94][95][96][97][98][99][100][101][102][103][104][105][106][107].…”

“…Additionally, the surface of the SPEs' working electrode may be readily modified to improve the sensibility, lowering the detection limit, and increasing the selectivity of the electrochemical methods [15,16]. The chemical modification of inert substrate electrodes offers significant advantages in the design and development of electrochemical sensors [17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30]. In operations, the redox-active sites shuttle electrons between a solution of the analyte and the substrate electrodes often along with a significant reduction of the activation overpotential.…”

“…Electrochemical detection has the advantages of simple operation, low cost, and easy to carry, but the specific recognition of the electrochemical method in detection is poor. The chemical modification of inert substrate electrodes offers significant advantages in the design and development of electrochemical sensors [7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26]. A further advantage of chemically modified electrodes is that they are less prone to surface fouling and oxide formation compared to inert substrate electrodes [27][28][29][30][31][32][33][34][35][36][37][38][39].…”
