Abstract

Herein, an electrochemical label-free biosensor designed for the detection of glycated albumin (GA) using reduced graphene oxide/Au nanoparticles (RGO/AuNPs) modified by anti-GA aptamer. For fast and simple modification of the electrode, the aptamer chain was thiolated. Transition electron microscopy (TEM), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray diffraction (XRD) techniques were used to the characterization of synthesized materials. Structural analysis of nanomaterials shows that graphene sheets were synthesized very fine by average thickness of 2.5 nm and Au nanoparticles distributed on the surface of graphene sheets uniformly. Cyclic voltammetry (CV) square wave voltammetry (SWV) and impedance spectroscopy (EIS) were used to electrochemical study of the decorated electrode. Electrochemical studies described the potential of fabricated rGO/AuNPs-aptamer electrode to selectively determine GA properly in buffer solution at the range of 2-10 μg mL
