Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

The electrochemical biosensor is a type of sensor that transduces biochemical events such as enzyme-substrate reaction and antigen-antibody interaction to electrical signals. Over the years, various types of electrochemical biosensors have been introduced and commercialized for diverse applications, due to their accuracy, cost-effectiveness, and sensitivity. Owing to the fact that these biosensors yield an electrical signal, a miniaturized measurement and diagnosis method is achievable based on electronic systems, suitable for portable, wearable, or implantable applications. Therefore, this Special Issue on “Electrochemical Biosensors: From Design to Applications” focuses on recent advances in the development of electrochemical biosensors and their feasibility for various applications.

We invite submissions of research that help to advance the field of electrochemical biosensor technology and its application for easy diagnosis and status monitoring that can further promote at-home medical service.

Rapid and accurate detection of changes in glucose (Glu) and hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) concentrations is essential for the predictive diagnosis of diseases. Electrochemical biosensors exhibiting high sensitivity, reliable selectivity, and rapid response provide an advantageous and promising solution. A porous two-dimensional conductive metal–organic framework (cMOF), Ni-HHTP (HHTP = 2,3,6,7,10,11-hexahydroxytriphenylene), was prepared by using a one-pot method. Subsequently, it was employed to construct enzyme-free paper-based electrochemical sensors by applying mass-producing screen-printing and inkjet-printing techniques. These sensors effectively determined Glu and H2O2 concentrations, achieving low limits of detection of 1.30 μM and 2.13 μM, and high sensitivities of 5573.21 μA μM−1 cm−2 and 179.85 μA μM−1 cm−2, respectively. More importantly, the Ni-HHTP-based electrochemical sensors showed an ability to analyze real biological samples by successfully distinguishing human serum from artificial sweat samples. This work provides a new perspective for the use of cMOFs in the field of enzyme-free electrochemical sensing, highlighting their potential for future applications in the design and development of new multifunctional and high-performance flexible electronic sensors.

An electrochemical biosensor was fabricated using nanoparticles of acetylcholinesterase (AChE) and choline oxidase (ChO)/Pt nanoparticles (PtNPs)/porous graphene oxide nanosheet (GONS) composite. A pencil graphite electrode (PGE) was used for the electrodeposition of nanocomposite and the determination of acetylcholine (ACh), a neurotransmitter. Various techniques such as scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) spectra and cyclic voltammetry (CV) were used for characterization. This biosensor (AChENPs-ChONPs/GONS/PtNPs/PGE) indicated a very short response time (3 s), a lower limit of detection (0.001 µM), good linearity (0.001–200 µM), longer storage stability (6 months) and better reproducibility. The percent analytical recoveries of added acetylcholine in serum (5.0 and 10 µM) were found to be 97.6 ± 0.7 and 96.5 ± 0.3 for the present biosensor. The coefficients of variation were obtained to be 8% and 3.25%, correspondingly. The biosensor was applied to measure the ACh amount in the serum of healthy individuals and patients with Alzheimer’s disease. The number of interferents had no effect on the biosensor at their physiological concentrations. Full article

Electrochemical biosensors are superior technologies that are used to detect or sense biologically and environmentally significant analytes in a laboratory environment, or even in the form of portable handheld or wearable electronics. Recently, imprinted and implantable biosensors are emerging as point-of-care devices, which monitor the target analytes in a continuous environment and alert the intended users to anomalies. The stability and performance of the developed biosensor depend on the nature and properties of the electrode material or the platform on which the biosensor is constructed. Therefore, the biosensor platform plays an integral role in the effectiveness of the developed biosensor. Enormous effort has been dedicated to the rational design of the electrode material and to fabrication strategies for improving the performance of developed biosensors. Every year, in the search for multifarious electrode materials, thousands of new biosensor platforms are reported. Moreover, in order to construct an effectual biosensor, the researcher should familiarize themself with the sensible strategies behind electrode fabrication. Thus, we intend to shed light on various strategies and methodologies utilized in the design and fabrication of electrochemical biosensors that facilitate sensitive and selective detection of significant analytes. Furthermore, this review highlights the advantages of various electrode materials and the correlation between immobilized biomolecules and modified surfaces. Full article
