Herein, an easy and cost-effective approach to the immobilization of probe was performed. The amino modified salmonella ssDNA probe sequence was covalently linked with carboxylic group on the surface of nanoporous glassy carbon electrode to prepare the DNA biosensor. The differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) techniques were used for the determination of salmonella DNA in the concentration ranges of 10-400pM and 1-400pM with limits of detection of 2.1pM and 0.15pM, respectively.
