Chagas’ disease has been spread mainly through blood transfusion or blood components, therefore the development of a device for neglected diseases with high specificity and sensitivity is important to public health. This work describes the development of an amperometric immunosensor for determination of Chagas’ disease through a gold‐based electrode obtained from a recordable compact disc modified with 4‐(methylmercapto)benzaldehyde for the immobilization of Tc85 protein of the Trypanosoma cruzi . The immunoassays were carried out using positive and negative sera from Chagas’disease patients and immunoglobulin conjugated with peroxidase enzyme. The immunosensor presented −0.949 µA as cut‐off value and was applied in sera samples.
