title: Nanostructured zinc oxide platform for mycotoxin detection.
abstract: Nanostructured zinc oxide (Nano-ZnO) film has been deposited onto indium-tin-oxide (ITO) glass plate for co-immobilization of rabbit-immunoglubin antibodies (r-IgGs) and bovine serum albumin (BSA) for ochratoxin-A (OTA) detection. The results of X-ray diffraction (XRD) studies reveal the formation of Nano-ZnO with average particle size as ~5.0nm. Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) techniques have been used to characterize Nano-ZnO/ITO electrode and BSA/r-IgGs/Nano-ZnO/ITO immunoelectrode. Electrochemical impedimetric response of BSA/r-IgGs/Nano-ZnO/ITO immunoelectrode obtained as a function of OTA concentration exhibits linearity as 0.006-0.01nM/dm(3), detection limit of 0.006nM/dm(3), response time as 25s and sensitivity of 189Omega/nM/dm(3)cm(-2) with a regression coefficient of 0.997.
