Disposable Zirconium trisulfide-Reduced graphene oxide modified conducting thread based electrochemical biosensor for lung cancer diagnosis

Flexible technology in sensors have received much attention in monitoring of human health through various physiological indicators. Thus, it drawn a lot of interest in the development of flexible substrate for the diagnosis of various diseases via analysis of analytes. Present work focusses on the development of ecofriendly, portable, flexible, conducting thread (Th) and used as smart substrate for fabrication of biosensor towards ultrasensitive detection of the lung cancer biomarker (cytoskeleton-associated protein 4; CKAP4). The zirconium trisulfide-reduced graphene oxide nanocomposite and poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene):poly(styrenesulfonate) (PEDOT:PSS) modified cotton thread based biosensor was fabricated via dip coating method. Next, successive immobilization of monoclonal antibodies of CKAP4 (anti-CKAP4) and bovine serum albumin (BSA) was performed via drop cast approach using fabricated electrode [nZrS
