AbstractElectrochemical magnetoimmunosensors combine a number of issues that guarantee extremely high performance and also compatibility with the study of complex sample matrices. First, analyte immunocapture exploits the high affinity and specificity of antibodies. Second, magnetic particles (MP) provide faster and more efficient immunocapture than binding on two-dimensional structures, separation from nontarget sample components, and concentration of the target analyte. Finally, electrochemical detection supplies sensitivity and fast signal generation using robust and potentially miniaturized measurement equipment and transducers. On the contrary, MP handling is slightly more complex for end-users and more difficult to integrate in point-of-care devices than the manipulation of a classical biosensor. Attempts have been made to automate immunomagnetic binding, and the first robotized systems and platforms for the fluorescent and spectrophotometric detection of magnetoimmunoassays have already reached the market. Among the different types of electrodes available, screen-printed electrodes (SPE) stand out because of their low production cost and yet acceptable performance and interdevice reproducibility, which make them an excellent choice for analytical applications. In addition, each SPE entails a whole electrochemical cell stamped on a planar physical substrate, which makes it possible detection in small volumes and is especially favorable for the magnetic confinement of MP and the integration of microfluidic structures. In this article, we discuss the advantages obtained by using SPE and MP for the production of electrochemical magnetoimmunosensors and the clues for the successful development of such devices. We then revise some of the most outstanding works published in the literature.

Pesticides are among the most important contaminants in food, leading to important global health problems. While conventional techniques such as high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and mass spectrometry (MS) have traditionally been utilized for the detection of such food contaminants, they are relatively expensive, time-consuming and labor intensive, limiting their use for point-of-care (POC) applications. Electrochemical (bio)sensors are emerging devices meeting such expectations, since they represent reliable, simple, cheap, portable, selective and easy to use analytical tools that can be used outside the laboratories by non-specialized personnel. Screen-printed electrodes (SPEs) stand out from the variety of transducers used in electrochemical (bio)sensing because of their small size, high integration, low cost and ability to measure in few microliters of sample. In this context, in this review article, we summarize and discuss about the use of SPEs as analytical tools in the development of (bio)sensors for pesticides of interest for food control. Finally, aspects related to the analytical performance of the developed (bio)sensors together with prospects for future improvements are discussed.

The properties of carbon nano-onions (CNOs) make them attractive electrode materials/additives for the development of low-cost, simple to use and highly sensitive Screen Printed Electrodes (SPEs). Here, we report the development of the first CNO-based ink for the fabrication of low-cost and disposable electrodes, leading to high-performance sensors. Achieving a true dispersion of CNOs is intrinsically challenging and a key aspect of the ink formulation. The screen-printing ink formulation is achieved by carefully selecting and optimising the conductive materials (graphite (GRT) and CNOs), the polymer binder, the organic solvent and the plasticiser. Our CNO/GRT-based screen-printed electrodes consist of an interconnected network of conducting carbon particles with a uniform distribution. Electrochemical studies show a heterogeneous electron transfer rate constant of 1.3 ± 0.7 × 10−3 cm·s−1 and a higher current density than the ferrocene/ferrocenium coupled to a commercial graphite SPEs. In addition, the CNO/GRT SPE can detect dopamine in the concentration range of 10.0–99.9 µM with a limit of detection of 0.92 µM (N = 3). They exhibit a higher analytical sensitivity than the commercial graphite-based SPE, with a 4-fold improvement observed. These results open up the possibility of using high-performing CNO-based SPEs for electrochemical applications including sensors, battery electrodes and electrocatalysis.
