The low but known risk of bacterial contamination has emerged as the greatest residual threat of transfusion-transmitted diseases. Label-free detection of a bacterial model, Escherichia coli, is performed using nonfaradic electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). Biotinylated polyclonal anti-E. coli is linked to a mixed self-assembled monolayer (SAM) on a gold electrode through a strong biotin-neutravidin interaction. The binding of one antibody molecule for 3.6 neutravidin molecules is…

TLDR
The combination of robust carbohydrate ligands with EIS provides a label-free, sensitive, specific, user-friendly, robust, and portable biosensing system that could potentially be used in a point-of-care or continuous environmental monitoring setting.
Comparison of two innovatives approaches for bacterial detection: paramagnetic nanoparticles and self-assembled multilayer processes
Transfusion medicine is a field that has developed in the second half of the last century. Very rapidly, however, it became clear that this approach also carried its problems, such as the
Screen Printed Based Impedimetric Immunosensor for Rapid Detection of Escherichia coli in Drinking Water
TLDR
The introduction of a standard amplification procedure leads to a significant enhancement of the impedance increase, which allows one to measure E. coli in drinking water with a limit of detection of 3 × 101 CFU mL−1 while preserving the rapidity of the method that requires only 1 h to provide a “yes/no” response.
