ABSTRACT
In this work, we propose a new technique involving the modification of commercial screen-printed carbon electrodes with electrochemically reduced graphene oxide to serve as the starting point of a future electrochemical biosensor for the detection of two osteogenic biomarkers alkaline phosphatase (ALP) and Runt-related transcription factor 2 (RUNX2). The electrodes were characterized after each modification by cyclic voltammetry and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, showing the appropriate electrochemical characteristics for each modification type. The results obtained from scanning electron microscopy, Raman spectroscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and contact angle measurements are well correlated with each other, demonstrating the successful modification of the electrodes with graphene oxide and its subsequent reduction. The bioreceptors were immobilized on the electrodes by physical adsorption, which was confirmed by electrochemical methods, structural characterization, and contact angle measurements. Finally, the functionalized electrodes were incubated with the specific target analytes and the detection relied on monitoring the electrochemical changes occurring after the hybridization process. Our results indicated that the pilot platform has the ability to detect the two biomarkers up to 1 nM, with increased sensitivity observed for RUNX2, suggesting that after further optimizations, it has a high potential to be employed as a future biosensor.
