| Summary: | Abstract SARS-CoV-2 is a matter of concern. Here, biosensors were prepared using iron magnetic nanoparticles containing antibodies against the receptor binding domain (RBD) of the spike protein. Antibodies were adsorbed to nanoparticles in three configurations, including direct adsorption without functionalization (DANPs). Nanoparticles were added to a glassy carbon electrode and connected to an electrochemical cell. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy and ELISA experiments indicated that antibodies were desorbed from the DANPs upon the addition of the RBD. DANPs-based biosensors produced linear curves with decreasing charge transfer resistance due to the removal of antibodies. Thus, a detection method can be based on antibody desorption. |
