Abstract:

Genetically Modified Organisms, have been entered our food chain and detection of these organisms in market products are still the main challenge for scientists. Among several developed detection/quantification methods for detection of these organisms, the electrochemical nanobiosensors are the most attended which are combining the advantages of using nanomaterials, electrochemical methods and biosensors. In this research, a novel and sensitive electrochemical nanobiosensor for detection/quantification of these organisms have been developed using nanomaterials; Exfoliated Graphene Oxide and Gold Nano-Urchins for modification of the screen-printed carbon electrode, and also applying a specific DNA probe as well as hematoxylin for electrochemical indicator. Application time period and concentration of the components have been optimized and also several reliable methods have been used to assess the correct assembling of the nanobiosensor e.g. field emission scanning electron microscope, cyclic voltammetry and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. The results shown the linear range of the sensor was 40.0-1100.0 femtomolar and the limit of detection calculated as 13.0 femtomolar. Besides, the biosensor had good selectivity towards the target DNA over the non-specific sequences and also it was cost and time-effective and possess ability to be used in real sample environment of extracted DNA of Genetically Modified Organism products. Therefore, the superiority of the aforementioned specification to the other previously published methods was proved adequate.
