Abstract

Electrochemical DNA biosensor was successfully developed by depositing the ionic liquid (e.g., 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium trifluoromethanesulfonate ([EMIM][Otf])), ZnO nanoparticles, and chitosan (CHIT) nanocomposite membrane on a modified gold electrode (AuE). The electrochemical properties of the [EMIM][Otf]/ZnO/CHIT/AuE for detection of DNA hybridization were studied. Under optimal conditions using cyclic voltammetry, the target DNA sequences could be detected in the concentration range of 1.0 × 10−18 to 1.82 × 10−4 mol L−1, and with the detection limit of 1.0 × 10−19 mol L−1. This DNA biosensor detection approaches provide a quick, sensitive, and convenient method to be used in the identification of Trichoderma harzianum.
