Electrochemical sensor for detection of cancer cell based on folic acid and octadecylamine-functionalized graphene aerogel microspheres

Early diagnosis of cancers is critical for prevention of metastasis and early treatment. The study reports an electrochemical sensor for detection of cancer cell based on folic acid (FA) and octadecylamine (OA)-functionalized graphene aerogel microspheres (FA-GAM-OA). Citric acid was mixed with FA and OA and heated at 180 °C for 4 h to form FA and OA-functionalized graphene oxide. The graphene oxide was employed as solid particle surfactant for...
