    A titanium dioxide nanoparticle (TiO2 NP)–mediated resistive biosensor is described for the determination of DNA fragments of Escherichia coli O157:H7 (E. coli O157:H7). The sol-gel method was used to synthesize the TiO2 NP, and microlithography was applied to fabricate the interdigitated sensor electrodes. Conventional E. coli DNA detections are facing difficulties in long-preparation-and-detection-time (more than 3 days). Hence, electronic biosensor was introduced by measuring the current-voltage (I–V) DNA probe without amplification of DNA fragments. The detection scheme is based on the interaction between the electron flow on the sensor and the introduction of negative charges from DNA probe and target DNA. The biosensor has a sensitivity of 1.67 × 1013 Î©/M and a wide analytical range. The limit detection is down to 1 × 10−11 M of DNA. The sensor possesses outstanding repeatability and reproducibility and is cabable to detect DNA within 15 min in a minute-volume sample (1 Î¼L). [Figure not available: see fulltext.].

    New advancements in developing sensitive and selective biosensors have demonstrated outstanding potential for Deoxyribonucleic Acid (DNA biosensors). The detection mode of DNA biosensors primary depends on a particular DNA hybridization that precisely occurs on the surface of the physical transducer that can only be detected using high-performance assays due to slight current changes. The analytical performance (sensitivity) of the DNA biosensor is conclusively rely on the confluence constructing of the sensing surface, which must be optimized. Thus, in this study, the sensing elements of the developed biosensors were optimized for detecting RNA of SARS-CoV-2. This optimization included concentration of nanomaterials (carbon quantum dots), probe density (concentration of DNA probe) and concentration of linker (APTES). It was observed that 0.15 % V/V of concentration CQD, 0.1μM of DNA probe and 36% V/V of APTES were the optimum parameters which provided their maximum response during electrical measurements and increased the sensitivity of the developed biosensor for SARS-CoV-2 detection

    Parkinson's disease is associated with motor and non-motor symptoms, mostly a motor symptom such as tremor is said to be an early indication for Parkinson's disease development. Because of higher demands for faster and more precise diagnostic methods, it has sparked trends in the development of a biosensor for the diagnosis of Parkinson's disease. Therefore, this study has fabricated a biosensor that is capable of detecting a specific Parkinson's disease biomarker such as aggregation of alpha synuclein and this is crucial in reducing the burden of Parkinson's disease and to be able to detect the disease at the earlier stage. Finding the inconsistent aggregation of alpha-synuclein is a promising method for the early detection of Parkinson's disease. Using conventional photographic process, aluminium interdigitated electrodes (ALIDEs) have been fabricated and employed with sensitive electrochemical strategy for the specific detection of the Parkinson's disease antigen (alpha synuclein). The microelectrode was developed based on aluminium electrode sputtered on silicon substrate. Further, zinc oxide (ZnO) was deposited by sputtering on the working electrode of the ALIDEs using a spin-coating method. The ZnO nanocomposite onto aluminium microelectrode surface provides a favourable platform for efficient loading of antibody via binding with antigen alpha synuclein. The effective loading of the biomolecules (antibody and antigen) on the ZnO nanocomposite surface modified aluminium microelectrode was observed by SEM, AFM and 3D Profilometer. The current flow for each concentration of alpha synuclein was observed at 7.5×10−6 A (10 fM), 8.8×10−6 A (100 fM), and 8.5×10−6 A (1 pM) respectively.

    This paper describes the synthesis of graphene-based activated carbon from carbonaceous rice straw fly ash in an electrical furnace and the subsequent potassium hydroxide extraction. The produced graphene has a proper morphological structure; flakes and a rough surface can be observed. The average size of the graphene was defined as up to 2000 nm and clarification was provided by high-resolution microscopes (FESEM and FETEM). Crystallinity was confirmed by surface area electron diffraction. The chemical bonding from the graphene was clearly observed, with –C=C– and O–H stretching at peaks of 1644 cm−1 and 3435 cm−1, respectively. Impurities in the graphene were found using X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy. The measured size, according to zeta-potential analysis, was 8722.2 ± 25 nm, and the average polydispersity index was 0.576. The stability of the mass reduction was analyzed by a thermogravimetric at 100 Â°C, with a final reduction of ~ 11%.

    This research was developed to focus on the study of the voltammetric DNA biosensor for the detection of HPV strain 18. In this research, electrical DNA biosensor was expected to detect HPV strain 18 more efficiently by using electrical characterization. In this project, device inspection was conducted to make sure the functional of the gold interdigitated electrode (IDE) by using Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM). 3-Aminopropyl Triethoxysilane (APTES) solution was used for the process of surface modification to form the amine group on the surface of the device to facilitate the attachment of the DNA probe. In this project, synthetic DNA sample and DNA from the saliva of several Biosystems Engineering students were used as the target DNA. The current-voltage (I-V) electrical characterization was conducted to detect the presence of HPV strain 18 in both DNA samples. As the results, perfect alignment between the electrodes on the IDE was detected under SEM. Surface modification of the biosensor successfully conducted which is the covalent bond between APTES and DNA probe increase the electrical. Synthetic DNA shows the presence of HPV strain 18 while there was no HPV strain 18 detected in the DNA from saliva samples.

    The performance of sensing surfaces highly relies on nanostructures to enhance their sensitivity and specificity. Herein, nanostructured zinc oxide (ZnO) thin films of various thicknesses were coated on glass and p-type silicon substrates using a sol-gel spin-coating technique. The deposited films were characterized for morphological, structural, and optoelectronic properties by high-resolution measurements. X-ray diffraction analyses revealed that the deposited films have a c-axis orientation and display peaks that refer to ZnO, which exhibits a hexagonal structure with a preferable plane orientation (002). The thicknesses of ZnO thin films prepared using 1, 3, 5, and 7 cycles were measured to be 40, 60, 100, and 200 nm, respectively. The increment in grain size of the thin film from 21 to 52 nm was noticed, when its thickness was increased from 40 to 200 nm, whereas the band gap value decreased from 3.282 to 3.268 eV. Band gap value of ZnO thin film with thickness of 200 nm at pH ranging from 2 to 10 reduces from 3.263eV to 3.200 eV. Furthermore, to evaluate the transducing capacity of the ZnO nanostructure, the refractive index, optoelectric constant, and bulk modulus were analyzed and correlated. The highest thickness (200 nm) of ZnO film, embedded with an interdigitated electrode that behaves as a pH-sensing electrode, could sense pH variations in the range of 2-10. It showed a highly sensitive response of 444 μAmM-1cm-2 with a linear regression of R2 =0.9304. The measured sensitivity of the developed device for pH per unit is 3.72μA/pH.

    An oligonucleotide DNA probe has been developed for the application in the DNA electrochemical biosensor for the early diagnosis of coronavirus disease (COVID-19). Here, the virus microRNA from the N-gene of severe acute respiratory syndrome-2 (SARS-CoV-2) was used for the first time as a specific target for detecting the virus and became a framework for developing the complementary DNA probe. The sequence analysis of the virus microRNA was carried out using bioinformatics tools including basic local alignment search tools, multiple sequence alignment from CLUSTLW, microRNA database (miRbase), microRNA target database, and gene analysis. Cross-validation of distinct strains of coronavirus and human microRNA sequences was completed to validate the percentage of identical and consent regions. The percent identity parameter from the bioinformatics tools revealed the virus microRNAs’ sequence has a 100% match with the genome of SARS-CoV-2 compared with other coronavirus strains, hence improving the selectivity of the complementary DNA probe. The 30 mer with 53.0% GC content of complementary DNA probe 5′ GCC TGA GTT GAG TCA GCA CTG CTC ATG GAT 3′ was designed and could be used as a bioreceptor for the biosensor development in the clinical and environmental diagnosis of COVID-19.

    In this work, gold nanoparticles (NPs) have been synthesized using second harmonic generation ND-YAG laser ablation in ethanol employing 532 nm and 1.064 nm wavelengths. Field emission scanning electron microscope (FESEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), atomic force microscopy (AFM), photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopy, and UV–Vis absorption were employed to examine the structural, chemical, and optical properties of Au NPs. XRD results showed that all synthesized Au nanoparticles are crystalline in nature. The optical band gap upon ablation using the higher wavelength (1064 nm) was about 4.02 eV. The value of the optical band gap increases to reach a value of 4.22 eV at the shorter wavelength (532 nm). The FESEM results reveal the formation of smaller nanorod size at second harmonic generation (SHG) wavelength was found to be about 30 nm at wavelength 532 nm and 44 nm at 1064 nm. After that, finite element analysis is used to simulate the photonic crystal fiber (PCF) as biosensors, depending on the surface plasmon resonance (SPR) phenomenon using the COMSOL multiphasic program. The hollow core photonic crystal fiber (HC-PCF) HC-800 was thus overfilled with water. The confinement loss (CL) of the fundamental mode for the proposed PCF with and without the gold nanoparticles was calculated; we observe without gold NPs the CL at the water and colon tissue about 1.08E + 03 and 5.46E + 02 dB/m, while at use the deposited PCF with gold NPs, the results ensured the decrease more than in the confinement loss at the water and colon tissue about 1.01E + 03 and 3.16E + 02 dB/m with a clear shift toward higher wavelengths, also when calculating the sensitivity, to increase HC-PCF biosensor performance by using wavelength interrogation and amplitude measurements; it found the bio-liquid (colon tissue) has the best electric field using the gold nanowire (NW) layer in the biosensor equal to 68.8 V/m by comparison when without using the gold NW layer which leads to high sensitivity.

    Oil palms suffer severe losses due to Ganoderma boninense infection that causes Basal Stem Rot (BSR). The available detection measuring the severity of BSR disease have not proved satisfactory output. Due to the influence of oil palm industry in country's economy, effective and efficient means of diagnostic measure is mandatory. Among the available diagnostic tools, biosensors were redeemed to yield the most rapid and selective results. To overcome the current issues, herein Interdigitated Electrode (IDE) electrochemical DNA biosensor to detect Ganoderma boninense was successfully designed and fabricated by thermal deposition. Lift-off photolithography fabrication process was applied followed by the surface chemical functionalization via seed deposition. Zinc Oxide (ZnO) and Titanium Dioxide (TiO2) were overlaid and the functionalized metal oxides IDE surfaces were used to detect DNA sequence complementation from Ganoderma boninense. Furthermore, gold nanoparticles were doped to increase the surface to volume ratio and enhance biocompatibility. Characterizations were made by validating the sensor's topology characteristics and electrical characteristics. From the results recorded, it has been justified that IDE with ZnO doped with gold nanoparticles surface serves as an excellent DNA sensor for the detection of Ganoderma boninense with a remarkable current of 290 nA and 176 nA for immobilization and hybridization respectively.
