Development of a graphene based immuno-biosensor for hepatitis b virus surface antigen detection

Hepatitis B virus (HBV) is a blood-borne and transfusion-transmitted human pathogen that has a large impact on blood safety and public health worldwide whereas reduced graphene oxide (RGO) is a derivatives of graphene which has gain much attention in electrochemical immunosensors. HBV infects the li...
