Property Fields1)
In ANABSTR a numeric search for a specific set of physical properties (/PHP) is available within the text fields(TI, AB, BI). The numeric values are not displayed as single fields, but highlighted within the hit displays.
Use EXPAND/PHP to search for all available physical properties. A search with the respective field codes will
be carried out in all database fields with English text. The /PHP index contains a complete list of codes andrelated text for all physical properties available for numeric search.

SELECT, ANALYZE, and SORT Fields
The SELECT command is used to create E-numbers containing terms taken from the specified field in ananswer set.
The ANALYZE command is used to create an L-number containing terms taken from the specified field in ananswer set.
The SORT command is used to rearrange the search results in either alphabetic or numeric order of thespecified field(s).

(1) HIT may be used to restrict terms extracted to terms that match the search expression used to create the answer set, e.g., SEL HITAU.
(2) SELECT CIT allows you to extract the reference data from the source documents in this file and have them automatically converted
to a citation format for searching in the SCISEARCH file. SEL CIT selects first author, publication year, volume, first page, and atruncation symbol with /RE appended.

Towards cancer diagnostics - an .alpha.-feto protein electrochemical
immunosensor on a manganese(IV) oxide/gold nanocomposite
immobilisation layer
Idris, Azeez O.; Mabuba, Nonhlangabezo; Arotiba, Omotayo A.
RSC Adv. (23 Oct 2018), Volume 8, Number 54, pp. 30683-30691
JournalEntered STN: 5 Jan 2021
Last updated on STN: 24 Feb 2021
A novel electrochemical immunosensor for the quantification of.alpha.-feto protein (AFP) using a nanocomposite of manganese(IV) oxide
nanorods (MnO2NRs) and gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) as theimmobilisation layer is presented. The MnO2NRs was synthesised using ahydrothermal method and AuNPs were electrodeposited on a glassy carbon
electrode surface. The MnO2NRs were characterised with scanning electron
microscopy (SEM), high-resolution transmission electron microscopy(HRTEM) and X-ray powder diffraction (XRD). Cyclic voltammetry (CV) andelectrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) were used to characterise
the immunosensor at each stage of the biosensor preparation. The MnO2
nanorods and AuNPs were applied as the immobilisation layer toAugust 2022

efficiently capture the antibodies and amplify the electrochemicalsignal. Under optimised conditions, the fabricated immunosensor wasutilised for the quantification of AFP with a wide dynamic range of0.005 to 500 ng mLsup-1 and detection limits of 0.00276 ng mLsup-1 and0.00172 ng mLsup-1 (S/N = 3) were obtained from square wave anodic
stripping voltammetry and EIS respectively. The nanocomposite modifierenhanced the immunosensor performance. More so, this label-free
immunosensor possesses good stability over a period of two weeks whenstored at 4 ｰC and was selective in the presence of someinterfering species.
