“…145 Magnetic NPs for the electrochemical detection of H. tuberculosis Magnetic nanoparticles have useful features such as large surface area, low toxicity, small particle size, and superparamagnetic behavior, which make them an excellent electrode modier for constructing electrochemical sensors. 167,168 An electrochemical sensor based on Fe 3 O 4 incorporated with polypyrrole and a naphthoquinone probe was previously constructed for detecting H. tuberculosis. For modifying the surface of the gold screen-printed electrode with the magnetic particles, a permanent magnet was used, and the potential was swept from −0.4 to +0.8 V vs. Ag/AgCl reference electrode with a scan rate of 50 mV s −1 for ten cycles.…”
