Electrochemical poly(ProDOT) dendritic DNA aptamer biosensor for signalling interferon gamma (IFN-ɣ) TB biomarker
(University of the Western Cape, 2017)
Tuberculosis (TB) is an infectious disease that, despite all efforts devoted towards its
eradication, remains a threat to many countries including South Africa. Current diagnostic
assays do offer better performance than ...
Development of nanobiosensors for phenolic endocrine disrupting compounds and anti- tuberculosis drugs
(2013)
Tuberculosis still remains one of the world’s killer diseases. Pyrazinamide (PZA) is one of
the most commonly prescribed anti-tuberculosis (anti-TB) drugs due to its ability to
significantly shorten the TB treatment ...
The use of cyclodextrin template-based metal oxide nanomaterials in the development of electrochemical sensors for phenolic endocrine disruptor compounds
(University of the Western Cape, 2010)
Iron oxide nanoparticles were prepared using co-precipitation method in the presence and absence of beta-cyclodextrin β-CD). Such materials were characterized using transmission electron microscopy (TEM), energy dispersive ...
Polymeric tyrosinase nanobiosensor system for the determination of endocrine disrupting bisphenol A
(University of the Western Cape, 2011)
The main objective of this work was to develop simple and sensitive electrochemical sensors for the detection of bisphenol A. To investigate the electrochemical behavior of BPA on a bare glassy carbon electrode. To apply ...
Electrochemical deposition of Graphene Oxide- metal nano-composite on Pencil-Graphite Electrode for the high sensitivity detection of Bisphenol A by Adsorptive Stripping Differential Pulse Voltammetry
(University of the Western Cape, 2018)
Electrochemical platforms were developed based on pencil graphite electrodes (PGEs) modified
electrochemically with reduced graphene oxide metal nanoparticles (ERGO–metalNPs) composite
and used for the high-sensitivity ...
