Thermally reduced graphene oxide (TRGO) is a graphene-based nanomaterial that has been identified as promising for the development of amperometric biosensors. Urease, in combination with TRGO, allowed us to create a mediator-free amperometric biosensor with the intention of precise detection of urea in clinical trials. Beyond simplicity of the technology, the biosensor exhibited high sensitivity (2.3 ± 0.1 µA cm−2 mM−1), great operational and storage stabilities (up to seven months), and appropriate reproducibility (relative standard deviation (RSD) about 2%). The analytical recovery of the TRGO-based biosensor in urine of 101 ÷ 104% with RSD of 1.2 ÷ 1.7% and in blood of 92.7 ÷ 96.4%, RSD of 1.0 ÷ 2.5%, confirmed that the biosensor is acceptable and reliable. These properties allowed us to apply the biosensor in the monitoring of urea levels in samples of urine, blood, and spent dialysate collected during hemodialysis. Accuracy of the biosensor was validated by good correlation (R = 0.9898 and R = 0.9982) for dialysate and blood, utilizing approved methods. The advantages of the proposed biosensing technology could benefit the development of point-of-care and non-invasive medical instruments.

Abstract Numerous studies suggest that modification with functional nanomaterials can enhance the electrode electrocatalytic activity, sensitivity, and selectivity of the electrochemical sensors. Here, a highly sensitive and cost-effective disposable non-enzymatic glucose sensor based on copper(II)/reduced graphene oxide modified screen-printed carbon electrode is demonstrated. Facile fabrication of the developed sensing electrodes is carried out by the adsorption of copper(II) onto graphene oxide modified electrode, then following the electrochemical reduction. The proposed sensor illustrates good electrocatalytic activity toward glucose oxidation with a wide linear detection range from 0.10 mM to 12.5 mM, low detection limit of 65 µM, and high sensitivity of 172 µA mM− 1 cm− 2 along with satisfactory anti-interference ability, reproducibility, stability, and the acceptable recoveries for the detection of glucose in a human serum sample (95.6–106.4%). The copper(II)/reduced graphene oxide based sensor with the superior performances is a great potential for the quantitation of glucose in real samples.

Reduced graphene oxide (rGO) based chemiresistor gas sensor has received much attention in gas sensing for high sensitivity, room temperature operation, and reversible. Here, for the first time, we present a promising chemiresistor for ammonia gas detection based on tannic acid (TA) functionalized and reduced graphene oxide (rGOTA functionalized). Green reductant of TA plays a major role in both reducing process and enhancing the gas sensing properties ofrGOTA functionalized. Our results showrGOTA functionalizedonly selective to ammonia with excellent respond, recovery, respond time, and recovery times.rGOTA functionalizedelectrical resistance decreases upon exposure to NH3where we postulated that it is due to n-doping by TA and charge transfer betweenrGOTA functionalizedand NH3through hydrogen bonding. Furthermore,rGOTA functionalizedhinders the needs for stimulus for both recovery and respond. The combination of greener sensing material and simplicity in overall sensor design provides a new sight for green reductant approach of rGO based chemiresistor gas sensor.

Methyl nicotinate (MN) is an important tuberculosis biomarker, and can be effectively measured using electrochemical methods. In this study, we have developed a novel N-doped phenolic polymer nanocomposite in situ dispersed with reduced graphene oxide and cobalt (Co)-nanoparticles as a sensor electrode (Co-rGO/PC). Co-nanoparticles were used for the MN recognition. Carbonization was performed for the reduction of GO and the synthesis of Co-nanoparticles. The prepared electrode materials were characterized using SEM, EDS, EIS, and CV. Tested using differential pulse voltammetry, Co-rGO/PC showed its pplicability (RSD < 6%) over 0.05–20.0 mg L−1 MN concentration with high sensitivity (S/N ratio = 3). The present method and materials can also be used for the development of sensors for the other biomarkers.
