Figure 5

Impedance spectra registered during validation of the biosensors in emulated throat conditions at the formal potential of Fe(CN)6 3−/4− redox species (after incubation with different interfering pathogens). The tables represent the set of Rct values obtained on the basis of EEQC analysis applied to the impedance spectra for the working electrode after incubation in the different electrolyte conditions. The concentration of S. Aureus, C. Albicans and influenza virus (V1) was kept at 106 cfu or pfu. Abbreviations: V1 - H1N1, SA – Streptococcus Aureus, CA- Candida Albicans.
