A streptomycin-specific aptamer was used as a receptor molecule for ultrasensitive quantitation of streptomycin. The glassy carbon (GC) electrode was modified with palladium nanoparticles decorated on chitosan-carbon nanotube (PdNPs/CNT/Chi) and aminated aptamer against streptomycin. Modification of the sensing interface was characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy-dispersive X-ray (EDS), wavelength-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (WDX), cyclic voltammetry (CVs), and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). The methodologies applied for designing the proposed biosensor are based on target-induced conformational changes of streptomycin-specific aptamer, leading to detectable signal change. Sensing experiments were performed in the streptomycin concentration range from 0.1 to 1500 nM in order to evaluate the sensor response as a function of streptomycin concentration. Based on the results, the charge transfer resistance (Re) values increased proportionally to enhanced streptomycin content. The limit of detection was found to be as low as 18 pM. The superior selectivity and affinity of aptamer/PdNPs/CNT/Chi modified electrode for streptomycin recognition made it favorable for versatile applications such as streptomycin analysis in real samples.
