Bismuth Oxide Nanoparticles/Chitosan-Modified Electrodes as Biosensor for DNA Hybridization

In this work, DNA biosensor based on hybridization detection of complementary target DNA with probe single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) have been developed. The DNA sensor was fabricated by modification of gold electrode with bismuth oxide (Bi2O3) nanoparticles (diameter is in the range of 20-40 nm) in comb...
