This work presents the first integration of antibodies into one of the electrodes of a passive direct methanol fuel cell (DMFC) to create an autonomous immunosensor for cancer antigen 15–3 (CA15-3). The anode of the fuel cell was first made of carbon cloth with carbon black, platinum and ruthenium nanoparticles and then modified with anti-CA15-3, while the cathode was made of carbon cloth with carbon black and ...
This work describes an innovative electrochemical biosensor that advances its autonomy toward an equipment-free design. The biosensor is powered by a passive direct methanol fuel cell (DMFC) and signals the response via an electrochromic display. Briefly, the anode side of the DMFC power source was modified with a biosensor layer developed using molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP) technology to detect sarcosine...
This work describes the development of an innovative electrochemical biosensor comprehending a passive direct methanol fuel cell (DMFC) assembly, modified by a layer of a molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP) on a carbon fabric anode electrode containing Pt/Ru nanoparticles. This MIP film was prepared from poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) (PEDOT) and polypyrrole (PPy) obtained by in situ electropolymerization of ...
