Amperometric immunosensing using an indium tin oxide electrode modified with multi-walled carbon nanotube and poly(ethylene glycol)-silane copolymer

Chem Commun (Camb). 2007 Jul 7:(25):2610-2. doi: 10.1039/b701190c. Epub 2007 Apr 3.

Abstract

We describe a sensitive electrochemical immunosensor that takes advantage of the low background current of an indium tin oxide electrode, the good electrocatalytic properties of multi-walled carbon nanotubes, and the low biofouling properties of poly(ethylene glycol)-silane copolymer.
