Popis: Interleukin-6 (IL-6) plays a crucial role in autoimmunity and chronic inflammation. This study aims to develop a low-cost, simple-to-manufacture, and user-friendly label-free electrochemical point-of-care device for the rapid detection of IL-6 in patients with psoriasis. Precisely, a sandwich-based format immunosensor was developed using two primary antibodies (mAb-IL6 clone-5 and clone-7) and screen-printed electrodes modified with an inexpensive recycling electrochemical enhancing material, called biochar. mAb-IL6 clone-5 was used as a covalently immobilized capture bioreceptor on modified electrodes, and mAb-IL6 clone-7 was used to recognize the immunocomplex (Anti-IL6 clone-5 and IL-6) and form the sandwich. Cyclic voltammetry (CV) and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) were used to conduct electrochemical characterization of the layer-by-layer assembly of the immunosensor, while square wave voltammetry (SWV) was used to perform the sensing. The developed immunosensor demonstrated robust analytical performance in buffer solution, with a wide linear range (LR) by varying from 2 to 250 pg/mL, a good limit of detection (LOD) of 0.78 pg/mL and reproducibility (RSD
