ABSTRACT
The determination of KRAS was performed using electrochemical sensing devices based on graphite and graphene pastes, modified with a phthalocyanine-boron dipyrromethene (BODIPY) and azulenes dyes. The limits of quantification for KRAS were 1.54 × 10−4 µg/mL using the sensor based on the phthalocyanine-BODIPY dye and graphite, 2.64 × 10−7 µg/mL using the sensor based on 2,6-bis((E)-2-(furan-2-yl)vinyl)-4-(4,6,8-trimethylazulen-1-yl)pyridine/TiO2Pt/reduced graphene oxide, and 3.84 × 10−3 µg/mL using the sensor based on 2,6-bis((E)-2-(thiophen-3-yl)vinyl)-4-(4,6,8-trimethylazulen-1-yl)pyridine/TiO2Pt/reduced graphene oxide. Recovery measurements demonstrated the suitable analytical performance of these sensors for the early detection of colon cancer by the analysis of whole blood samples.
