AbstractFunctionalized graphene-based nanocomposites have opened new windows to address some challenges for increasing the sensitivity, accuracy and functionality of biosensors. Polyaniline (PANI) is one of the most potentially promising and technologically important conducting polymers, which brings together the electrical features of metals with intriguing properties of plastics including facile processing and controllable chemical and physical properties. PANI/graphene nanocomposites have attracted intense interest in various fields due to unique physicochemical properties including high conductivity, facile preparation and intriguing redox behavior. In this article, a functionalized graphene-grafted nanostructured PANI nanocomposite was applied for determining the ascorbic acid (AA) level. A significant current response was observed after treating the electrode surface with methacrylated graphene oxide (MeGO)/PANI nanocomposite. The amperometric responses showed a robust linear range of 8–5,000 µM and detection limit of 2 µM (N = 5). Excellent sensor selectivity was demonstrated in the presence of electroactive components interfering species, commonly found in real serum samples. This sensor is a promising candidate for rapid and selective determination of AA.

A label-free electrochemical aptasensor was constructed for the sensitive and selective determination of AFM1. For preparation of the aptasensor, the AFM1 aptamer was immobilised on the surface of a glassy carbon electrode modified with hemin encapsulated in Fe-based metal-organic frameworks (hemin@Fe-MIL-101). The morphology and the structure of Fe-MIL-101 and hemin@Fe-MIL-101 were evaluated by scanning electron microscopy, Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, X-ray powder diffraction and Brunauer-Emmett-Teller-N2 sorption methods. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy and cyclic voltammetry were performed to monitor the fabrication process of the electrochemical aptasensor. The electrochemical reduction current of hemin encapsulated in Fe-MIL-101 serves as a signal for the quantitative determination of AFM1. Differential pulse voltammetry was done to determine the AFM1 concentration in the linear range of 1.0×10-1-100.0 ng/ml. The detection limit of AFM1 was estimated to be 4.6×10-2 ng/ml. Finally, the fabricated aptasensor was applied to determine AFM1 in raw and boiled milk samples.
