Abstract: | Two different D‐dimer disposable amperometric immunosensing designs based on indirect competitive or sandwich formats and the use of carboxylic acid‐modified magnetic beads (COOH‐MBs) and screen‐printed carbon electrodes (SPCEs) have been developed and compared. In both approaches, the resulting modified MBs were magnetically captured on the surface of a SPCE which was used as the transducer for the electrochemical detection at ?0.20 V upon addition of H2O2, and hydroquinone (HQ). Both configurations exhibited linear ranges of clinical usefulness and detection limits quite below the clinical threshold (0.5 µg mL?1 D‐dimer). The sandwich configuration has been successfully tested with serum samples. |
