This work demonstrates the development of electrochemical aptasensor using ochratoxin A (OTA) aptamers. Different aptamer coupling strategies were tested using polythiophene-carboxylic acid (PT3C) and polypyrrole-3-carboxylic acid (PP3C). The best sensitivity was recorded by polythiophene-3-carboxylic acid (PT3C) on screen-printed carbon electrode

A new polyacetylene derivative with electroactive thiophene substituent, namely poly(2-methylbut-2-enyl thiophene-3-carboxylate) was synthesized and characterized. For this purpose, novel acetylene monomer was synthesized by the reaction of 3-thiophenecarboxylic acid with propargyl bromide and polymerized with a Rh catalyst to give
