| Description | We report an aptamer biosensing array for thrombin detection by measuring the electrochemical impedance upon aptamer-protein formation at the surface of CD-trodes (GCDTs) in the presence of the redox couple [Fe(CN)6]3-/4-. GCDTs are fabricated from recordable compact discs that contain a fine gold layer. The biosensor is constructed by self-assembling of a thiol-modified thrombin binding aptamer (TBA) onto a GCDT surface. The sensor reveals good ligand specificity, recognition in a wide range of thrombin concentrations from 20 nM to 1 mu M with a limit of detection of 5 nM. |
