A Scope of Using Carbon Nanobeads Prepared from Castor Seeds as Biosensors
Keywords:
Carbon Nano beads, photoluminescence technique, band gap, Biosensors.Abstract
This paper presents the possibility of development of biosensors from Carbon Nano beads (CNBs) prepared from castor seeds as a precursor by CVD method. The semiconducting nature of prepared nanobeads is confirmed by photoluminescence (PL) technique. The required study for determining the hormone content of the urine sample in the presence of CNBs as a sensing material has been carried out using a capacitance and resistor circuit. The variations found in the voltage across the capacitor give the scope for developing the biosensors from CNBs. This can be further calibrated and modified to measure the percentage of concentration of hormones by a non-invasive and simple method.
