A portable electrochemical immunosensor for detection of S. aureus based on polyelectrolyte-modified screen-printed carbon electrode by Aleksei A. Evdokimov, Anna A. Baldina, Anna A. Nikitina, Timur A. Aliev, Artemii M. Zenkin, Mikhail V. Zhukov, Igor S. Pantyukhin, Ekaterina V. Skorb, Anton A. Muravev

“…Voltammetric detection of the formation of the sandwich immunocomplex with secondary antibody in the outermost layer (AB–AG–AB-HRP) not only decreases the detection limit to 230 CFU/mL and expands the linear range of detection to 103–108 CFU/mL, but also could detect S. aureus bacteria with a portable open-source custom potentiostat in voltammetric mode, which is promising for non-invasive point-of-care monitoring of pathogens and addresses issues of antibody-based sensors, such as high cost and difficult chemical modification.…”
