Carbon Nanotubes for the Rapid Detection of Intracellular Hydrogen Peroxide and its Application in Bacterial Detection

The aim of this work is to develop a biosensor capable of detecting bacteria through the specific detection of intracellular hydrogen peroxide. When bacteria interact with host phagocytic immune cells there is a burst of reactive oxygen species known as the respiratory burst. Traditionally this is t...
