An electrochemical highly sensitive aptasensor was developed based on electropolymerized poly(pyrrole-nitrilotriacetic) acid film and a new aptamer functionalized by a pentahistidine peptide for the quantification of bisphenol A. A surface coverage of antibisphenol A aptamer of 1.84 × 10(-10) mol cm(-2) was estimated from the electrochemical signal of the [Ru(III)(NH3)6](3+) complex bound by electrostatic interactions onto the aptamer-modified electrode. The binding of bisphenol A onto the polymer film was successfully characterized by electrochemical methods as square wave voltammetry and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy measurements. The designed label-free impedimetric aptasensor displayed a wide linear range from 10(-11) to 10(-6) mol L(-1) with a sensitivity of 372 Ω per unit of log of concentration and an excellent specificity toward interfering agents such as 4,4'-dihydroxybiphenyl and bisphenol P.
