This work describes the first method using biochar (BC) as carbonaceous platform for immunoassay application. BC is a highly functionalized material obtained through biomass pyrolysis under controlled conditions. Due to the highly functionalized surface, covalent binding between BC and biomolecules can be performed by EDC/NHS conjugation. The application of the modified electrode was done with Hantavirus, that are etiologic agents mainly transmitted by wild rodents. Among its pathologies Hantavirus Cardiopulmonary Syndrome (HCPS) arises at Americas, caused by Hantavirus Araucária and reaches 40% lethality. The diagnostic is based on the presence of specific hantavirus nucleoprotein (Np), under viremic condition or IgG2b antibodies (Ab), during first symptoms. The results presented a device sensitivity of 5.28⯵A dec-1 and a LOD of 0.14â¯ngâ¯mL-1 to the Np detection, ranging from 5.0â¯ngâ¯mL-1 to 1.0⯵gâ¯mL-1, the Ab detection works as qualitative type sensor above 200â¯ngâ¯mL-1. Both sensors were evaluated its selectivity and serum samples; selectivity against Gumboro disease, VP2 protein, and antibody IgG2a against Yellow fever disease (YF), respectively. So, the devices here proposed are promising tool suitable for both rodent and human hantavirus clinical surveys.
