RESUMO

Research in biosensing currently occupies an important role among biomolecular detection techniques, especially with respect to medical diagnoses. Is this sense, the development of biosensors based on the localized surface plasmon resonance (an optical transducer) or electrochemical transductions have been highlighted. However, optical and electrochemical detection working together enable more versatile detections in biosensing. Thus, we propose a dual sensor, which incorporates these two mechanisms on the same platform. The sensor shared the same transducer that was based on a glass-indium thin oxide (ITO) surface covered with gold nanoparticles. The transducer was prepared by the immobilization of gold nanoparticles on (3-aminopropyl)triethoxysilane-activated glass-ITO. The substrate ability to respond to physical surface variations was assessed. For this, measurements of the gold nanoparticles band redshift (plasmonic transduction) and charge transfer resistance from impedance spectra (electrochemical transduction) were performed. The platform was able to detect streptavidin immobilized on the surface by both mechanisms demonstrating its applicability as a device for biodetection in dual detection mode.
