Figure Lengend Snippet: ( A ) Model viral particle (biotinylated gold nanoparticle) concentration response curves for the biosensors. All the markers represent the electrodes treated with silica glancing angle deposition (filled) and without silica deposition (hollow). The red circles show the results for the streptavidin-modified electrode incubated with biotinylated gold nanoparticles. The blue squares represent first control with an anti-goat IgG modified electrode incubated with biotinylated gold nanoparticles. The green triangles depict the second control with a streptavidin-modified electrode incubated with PEG-COOH coated gold nanoparticles. ( B ) MS2 bacteriophage concentration response curves for the biosensors where the red circles represent the biosensor modified with anti-MS2 antibodies; and the blue hollow circles represent the first control where the electrode was modified with anti-goat IgG. The green hollow squares show the second control where the electrode was modified with anti-MS2 antibody and incubated with ΦX174 . Differential pulse voltammetry measurements were performed by sweeping the potential from 0 to 0.6 V at 0.1 V/s in a 2 mM K 4 [Fe(CN) 6 ] and 2 mM K 3 [Fe(CN) 6 ] solution prepared in 0.1 M PBS.
