Figure 3.
Real time capacitance response to analytes. Sensors were exposed to increasing concentrations of analyte and stirred continuously for 15 mins before a 30 min equilibration period. EIS scans were performed in 10 mM PBS at 0 V vs. Ag/AgCl at a perturbation of 10 mV at 0.1 Hz. (A)–Response of biosensor to different uranyl compound response (▪ Uranyl nitrate on 6 hr old electrode,
uranyl nitrate response from a 7 days old electrode,
natural uranyl nitrate response
uranyl acetate response). The data shows no differentiation between uranyl compounds as all are able to bind with the UO22+ in the +6 oxidation state. (B)–Response of biosensor to a range of interfering divalent cations (▪ nickel nitrate,
caesium sulphate,
cadmium nitrate,
cobalt chloride,
average uranyl response).
