Abstract
The present study addresses the development and characterization of an in-chip laser-induced graphene (LIG)-based sensor that combines optical and electrochemical transduction techniques as a proof of concept for the advancement of novel point-of-care (POC) devices. In recent years, LIG has emerged as a suitable material for next-generation diagnostic devices due to the increasing need for effective and easily accessible biosensing platforms. In this context, the presented sensors were fabricated and tested with an increasing number of laser exposures to understand how the resulting morphology, degree of graphitization, defects, and electrical resistance of LIG electrodes affect the electrochemical and optical sensing performance. To validate the dual sensor, ferrocyanide ([Fe(CN)6]4−) was used as a redox probe and [(4-Dicyanomethylene)-2-methyl-6-(4-dimethylaminostyryl)-4H-pyran] (DCM)…
