Overoxidized polypyrrole-osmium telluride quantum dots immunosensor for prostate specific antigen – A cancer biomarker.
(University of the Western Cape, 2014)
Prostate cancer is a deadly disease that occurs in the male’s prostate gland. A prostate gland is a walnut structure that forms part of the male’s reproductive system. Prostate cancer is caused by high level than normal ...
Electrochemical immunosensor based on cyclodextrin supramolecular interactions for the detection of human chorionic gonadotropin
(University of the Western Cape, 2012)
Glucose oxidase (GOx) and horseradish peroxidase (HRP) are important enzymes for the development of amperometric enzyme linked immunosensors. The selectivity of each enzyme towards its analyte deepens its importance in ...
Cytochrome P450-3A4/copper-poly(propylene imine)- polypyrrole star co-polymer Nanobiosensor system for delavirdine – a non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor HIV drug
(University of the Western Cape, 2014)
HIV and AIDS are among the world's pandemics that pose serious concern to almost every individual in the world. With the current level of availability of anti-retroviral (ARV) drugs and the ease of accessibility of treatment ...

Nanocomposite immunosensor for anti-transglutaminase antibody
(University of the Western Cape, 2009)
Coeliac disease (CD) is a gluten intolerance condition that results in the flattening of the villi, which line the bowel. It is the most common cause of malabsorption of food nutrients. This inability to absorb sufficient ...
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 ...
Indium nanoparticulate-modified polyanilino-co-4-aminobenzoic acid amperometric sensor for the detection of lapatinib, a breast cancer drug.
(University of the Western Cape, 2022)
Lapatinib is a highly prescribed drug used in combination with other drugs to treat breast cancer. Due to drug toxicity-related side effects experienced by some patients, there is need to determine appropriate dosage for ...
