  • Attachment of porphyrins with bio linkers to a gold surface to form self-assembled monolayers (SAMs).
  • Investigation of SAM formation and surface coverage on the gold electrode.

Main Results:

  • Successful synthesis of porphyrin structures suitable for SAM formation on gold electrodes.
  • Attachment of bio linkers to porphyrins for effective bacteria trapping.
  • Demonstration of SAM formation and characterization on the gold surface.

Conclusions:

  • Functionalized porphyrins can form SAMs on gold surfaces, creating a basis for a highly sensitive bacteria detection sensor.
  • The developed sensor surface shows potential for improved bacteria trapping and detection.
  • This approach offers a promising alternative to existing bacterial detection methods, enhancing sensitivity and efficiency.
