Using his platform composed of carbon nanotubes and gold nanoparticles, Professor Alex Star added antibodies to detect the opioid. His sensor can also distinguish fentanyl from several other common opioids.
A research team at Pitt led by Alexander Star, a chemistry professor in the Kenneth P. Dietrich School of Arts and Sciences, has developed a fentanyl sensor that is six orders of magnitude more sensitive than any electrochemical sensor for the drug reported in the past five years.
