An electrochemical ratiometric biosensor for the detection of dopamine based on an MXene-Au nanocomposite

Chem Commun (Camb). 2023 Oct 26;59(86):12911-12914. doi: 10.1039/d3cc03661h.

Abstract

Compared with single signal detection, a ratiometric biosensor could offer more accurate and reliable results. Here, a ratiometric electrochemical biosensor for the sensitive and accurate detection of dopamine was developed based on the strong adsorption ability of MXene-Au toward methylene blue, an inner reference element. This ratiometric sensing strategy opened up a new avenue for the development of a ratiometric platform.
