    Abstract:
    The authors describe an impedimetric aptasensor for Penicillin G (PEN) which is an important antibiotic. The method is based on the use of a pencil graphite electrode (PGE) modified with reduced graphene oxide (RGO) and gold nanoparticles (GNPs) for ultrasensitive detection of PEN. The morphology of a bare PGE, RGO/PGE, and GNP/RGO/PGE, and the functional groups on graphene oxide (GO) and RGO were studied using scanning electron microscopy and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy was used for detection of PEN by measuring the charge transfer resistance (Rct). Also, cyclic voltammetry was recorded at potential range of 0.30 to +0.70 V for PGE treatment. This aptamer-based assay has a wide linear range that extends from 1.0 fM to 10 μM, and a limit of detection as low as 0.8 fM. The method was applied to the determination of PEN in spiked milk from cow, sheep, goat and water buffalo. Recoveries ranged from 92% to 104%. The assay is fast, ultrasensitive, high reproducible, and selective over antibiotics such as streptomycin, tetracycline, and sulfadiazine. Graphical abstract Schematic presentation of an impedimetric aptasensor for Penicillin G antibiotic using a pencil graphite electrode (PGE) modified with reduced graphene oxide (RGO) and gold nanoparticles (GNPs). This aptamer based assay has limit of detection as low as 0.8 fM.
