| Abstract: | We developed an electrochemical system for detecting lipopolysaccharide (LPS) that uses an ultraflat nanocarbon film electrode modified with poly‐ε‐lysine with a high affinity to LPS. LPS was captured on the modified electrode, and then ferrocene labeled polymyxin B (FcPMB) was captured on the LPS adsorbed electrode via the LPS‐PMB affinity interaction. The adsorbed FcPMB provided an amplified response with Fe2+ ions, and the current response was dependent on the amount of captured LPS (LOD=2.0 ng/mL). This was due to the efficient accumulation of the obtained current for LPS and the very low noise made possible by the ultraflat surface. |
