The increasing interest of attachment of gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) on titanium dioxide nanotubes (TNTs) has been devoted to obtaining tremendous properties suitable for biosensor applications. Achieving precise control of the attachment and shape of AuNPs by methods described in the literature are far from satisfactory. This work shows the comparison of physical adsorption (PA), cyclic voltammetry (CV) and chronoamperometry (CA) methods and the parameters of these methods on TNTs properties. The structural, chemical, phase and electrochemical characterizations of TNTs, Au/TNTs, AuNPs/TNTs are carried out using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. The use of PA methods does not allow the deposition of AuNPs on TNTs. CV allows easily obtaining spherical nanoparticles, for which the diameter increases from 20.3 ± 2.9 nm to 182.3 ± 51.7 nm as a concentration of tetrachloroauric acid solution increase from 0.1 mM to 10 mM. Increasing the AuNPs deposition time in the CA method increases the amount of gold, but the AuNPs diameter does not change (35.0 ± 5 nm). Importantly, the CA method also causes the dissolution of the nanotubes layer from 1000 ± 10.0 nm to 823 ± 15.3 nm. Modification of titanium dioxide nanotubes with gold nanoparticles improved the electron transfer and increased the corrosion resistance, as well as promoted the protein adsorption. Importantly, after the deposition of bovine serum albumin, an almost 5.5-fold (324%) increase in real impedance, compared to TNTs (59%) was observed. We found that the Au nanoparticles—especially those with smaller diameter—promoted the stability of bovine serum albumin binding to the TNTs platform. It confirms that the modification of TNTs with gold nanoparticles allows the development of the best platform for biosensing applications.

Abstract Testosterone was conjugated to bovine serum albumin at carbon 3, and antibodies to this conjugate were developed in virgin female rabbits. This antiserum, diluted 1:3200, was used to measure testosterone. With tritiated testosterone and anti-rabbit γ-globulin as the second antibody, a doseresponse curve was obtained for doses in the range 0.1-10 ng. The antibody cross-reacts extensively with dihydrotestosterone, so that dihydrotestosterone is measured with testosterone in extracted but unchromatographed serum. Results for pooled serum from men, as measured repeatedly by radioimmunoassay and competitive binding assay for testosterone, agreed well. Seventeen normal men had serum 17β-ol androgen concentrations of 667 ng/100 ml (SD, ±248); seventeen normal, menstruating women had a mean concentration of 69 ng/100 ml (SD, ±18). Values for 17β-ol androgens in adolescent males agreed reasonably with testosterone values reported by other investigators. Values are presented for patients with various androgenic disorders. This procedure is easy; many samples can be processed at one time.
