Sumario:An electrochemical aptasensor for detection of trace amounts of aflatoxin M1 was developed. This required immobilization of aptamer on screen printed gold electrode comprising of working electrode, counter electrode and reference electrode and was achieved by sequentially layering dithiodipropionic acid, streptavidin and biotinylated-tetraethylene glycol-aptamer. Immobilization of aptamer was monitored by cyclic voltammetry. Peak current in square wave voltammogram was inversely related to logarithmic concentration of aflatoxin M1. Dynamic range of sensor was 1–10(5) ppt aflatoxin M1. Sensor can be regenerated by treating electrode with 10% sodium dodecyl sulfate or 40 mM tris-HCl (pH 8.0) containing 10 mM ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid and 0.02% tween-20.
