Scanning electrochemical microscopy (SECM) is discussed as a versatile tool to provide a unique approach of localized electrochemical information in the context of biosensing research. The step‐by‐step immobilization of DNA aptamer with intrinsic redox activity on screen‐printed carbon electrode (SPCE) was successfully monitored using SECM imaging tool. Control experiments were performed with a non‐electroactive aptamer. After immobilization of these aptamers, SECM images showed the repartition of the electroactive anti‐tetracycline aptamer when comparing with images produced for control and for all modification steps of SPCE. The possibility of tetracycline detection was also proved by causing a decrease in recorded current.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
