Electrochemical detection of NGF using a reduced graphene oxide- titanium nitride nanocomposite

Abstract There is a correlation between the severity of neurological impairment in patients that have suffered a cerebrovascular accident and the nerve growth factor (NGF) level. This study addressed the fabrication of a titanium nitride (TiN) and reduced graphene oxide (RGO)-based composite with re...

Sumario:Abstract There is a correlation between the severity of neurological impairment in patients that have suffered a cerebrovascular accident and the nerve growth factor (NGF) level. This study addressed the fabrication of a titanium nitride (TiN) and reduced graphene oxide (RGO)-based composite with remarkable electrocatalytic activity towards NGF oxidation in a phosphate buffer solution (PB, 0.1 M). The proposed electrochemical sensor was linearly related to the NGF concentration in the range of 10 nM-5 μM with a detection limit of 2.6 nM.
