Abstract

3D scaffolds with different pore sizes, using single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) and nanoparticles of different size were constructed. Biotinylated glucose oxidase (GOX-B) and anti-cholera toxin (anti-CT) were immobilized onto the one and two level nanoscaffolds, functionalized with pyrene-β-cyclodextrin for the construction of glucose based enzyme sensors and immunosensors, respectively. For enzyme sensors, highest current density and sensitivity (41.72 μA cm-2, 3 mA M-1 cm-2) were obtained with two level scaffolds made with 100 nm nanoparticles. In contrast to this, for immunosensors, highest current density and sensitivity (11.71 μA cm-2, 116.2 μA M-1 cm-2) were obtained with two level scaffolds made with 500 nm nanoparticles, indicating that the pore sizes can be adjusted using different size of nanoparticles for the respective applications.
