  • The developed biosensor exhibited a linear detection range of 1 x 10(-7) to 1.375 x 10(-4)M for hydroquinone.
  • A low detection limit of 1.5 x 10(-8)M was achieved.
  • The biosensor demonstrated rapid response time (95% steady-state current in ~60s) and comparable results to HPLC for compost samples.

Conclusions:

  • The laccase-based magnetic nanoparticle biosensor is effective for quantifying hydroquinone in complex matrices like compost.
  • This approach provides a sensitive, rapid, and reliable method for environmental pollutant monitoring.
