Current–voltage modeling of graphene-based DNA sensor

Graphene is considered as an excellent biosensing material due to its outstanding and unique electronic properties such as providing large area detection, ultra-high mobility and ambipolar field-effect characteristic. In this paper, general conductance model of DNA sensor-based graphene is obtained, and the electrical performance of nanostructured graphene-based DNA sensor is evaluated by the current–voltage characteristic. As a result, by increasing the complementary DNA concentration, the drain current is going toward higher amounts

Polymers in biosensors

Polymers can be conductive or nonconductive, natural or synthetic, and have been widely used in the development of biosensors; polymers can be processed at a large scale at a relatively low cost. Poly (3, 4-ethylenedioxythiophene) polystyrene sulfonate (PEDOT:PSS), PANI, and PPy are widely used in fabricating biosensors owing to their intrinsic conductive property. Although conductivity is crucial in developing biosensors, a large number of nonconductive polymers such as chitin, chitosan, gelatin, dextran, cellulose, and polystyrene also attract interest for their function as support matrices for the immobilization of biomolecules. The non- conductive polymers can be classified into two categories: natural and synthetic. This chapter focuses on the potential use of polymer composites in biosensors
