A disposable screen-printed carbon electrode (SPCE) for point-of-care detection platform was developed for human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG). A sandwich assay employing gold-nanoparticles was characterized with differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). hCG was analyzed between 100 pg/mL and 1 ng/mL, and a detection limit of 100 pg/mL was observed with 2-µL sample volume. This versatile platform can be easily adapted for decentralized electrochemical immunosensing of clinically important hormones.
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.
