Electrochemical Immunosensor Made with Zein-based Nanofibers for On-site Detection of Aflatoxin B1

A disposable electrochemical immunosensor for on-site detection of aflatoxin B1(AFB1), one of the most toxic mycotoxins in agri-food products, was fabricated through a low-cost cut-printing method and then modified with zein/polypyrrole(PPy) electrospun nanofibers onto which anti-AFB1 monoclonal antibodies were immobilized covalently. Fabrication was possible with an innovative and simple approach to adsorb nanofibers onto the working electrode during electrospinning. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy was employed as the principle of detection, and the data collected with a portable potentiostat were treated with information visualization techniques. The nanostructured immunosensor showed a high sensitivity for AFB1 with a linear detection range from 0.25 to 10 ng mL⁻¹ and a theoretical limit of detection of 0.092 ng mL⁻¹, which is adequate to detect AFB1 in food, according to regulatory agencies.     

An Electrochemical Immunosensor Based on SPA and rGO-PEI-Ag-Nf for the Detection of Arsanilic Acid

A sensitive electrochemical immunosensor was prepared for rapid detection of ASA based on arsanilic acid (ASA) monoclonal antibody with high affinity. In the preparation of nanomaterials, polyethyleneimine (PEI) improved the stability of the solution and acted as a reducing agent to generate reduced graphene oxide (rGO) with relatively strong conductivity, thereby promoting the transfer of electrons. The dual conductivity of rGO and silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) improved the sensitivity of the sensor. The synthesis of nanomaterials were confirmed by UV-Vis spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy and scanning electron microscopy. In the optimal experiment conditions, the sensor could achieve the detection range of 0.50–500 ng mL⁻¹ and the limit of detection (LOD) of 0.38 ng mL⁻¹ (S/N = 3). Moreover, the sensor exhibited excellent specificity and acceptable stability, suggesting that the proposed sensor possessed a good potential in ASA detection. Thus, the as-prepared biosensor may be a potential way for detecting other antibiotics in meat and animal-derived foods.     

Label-free Electrochemical Immunosensor for Sensitive Detection of Rheumatoid Arthritis Biomarker Anti-CCP-ab

The accurate and sensitive analysis of rheumatoid arthritis(RA) trace biomarkers is essential for early warning and diagnosis of RA, while anti-cyclic citrullinated peptide antibody (anti-CCP-ab) is a specific one. In this study, a simple label-free electrochemical immunosensor for the detection of anti-CCP-ab was constructed with nitrogen-doped graphene (N−G) and gold nanoparticles (AuNPs). The proposed non-enzyme immunosensor had exhibited high specificity, selectivity, and stability in the linear calibration curve range from 0.125∼2000 pg mL-1 and has been successfully used in the detection of anti-CCP-ab in human serum, providing a new idea for the early diagnosis of RA.     

Miniaturized Electrochemical Immunosensor for Label‐Free Detection of Growth Hormone

A miniaturized immunosensor was developed in connection with disposable screen‐printed carbon strips (SPCS) for the point‐of‐care detection of growth hormone. The performance of the miniaturized system was studied using growth hormone (GH) as the target protein and compared with a conventional electrochemical analyzer. The detection limit of 25 pg/mL was observed for GH in 20 µL sample volume, which indicated that this versatile platform can be easily adapted for decentralized electrochemical immunosensing of clinically important proteins.     

Polyaniline Nanowires-Based Electrochemical Immunosensor for Label Free Detection of Japanese Encephalitis Virus

Polyaniline (PANI) conducting polymers have attracted increasing interest as a transducer material for biosensors applications. In this study, we demonstrate the use of PANI nanowires (NWs) as immobilization platforms in the configuration of an electrochemical immunosensor for label free detection of Japanese encephalitis virus. The PANI NWs were synthesized on the surface of an interdigitated platinum (Pt) microelectrode via electrochemical growth. The morphology and characteristics of the PANI NWs on the Pt microelectrode were verified by scanning electron microscopy and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. The anti- Japanese encephalitis virus polyclonal IgG antibody was then covalently immobilized on the PANI NWs-coated Pt microelectrode by using 1-ethyl-3-(3-dimethyaminopropyl) carbodiimide (EDC) and N-hydroxysuccinimde (NHS). The detection of Japanese encephalitis virus antigens was analyzed by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). The developed PANI NWs-based electrochemical immunosensor could detect the Japanese encephalitis virus with a detection limit below 10 ng/ml. The results from EIS analysis also indicate that when the PANI NWs were exposed to nonspecific molecules, a negligible response was found, and it did not impact to the specificity of the sensor in the virus detection. This work shows the potential use of PANI NWs in electrochemical immunosensors for label free detection of other pathogens and small biomolecules.     

A Facile Electrochemical Immunosensor with Mesoporous Alumina for Detection of Carcinoembryonic Antigen

A label‐free electrochemical immunosensor for the sensitive determination of carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) was fabricated by immobilizing anti‐CEA onto mesoporous alumina (meso‐Al₂O₃) dispersed in chitosan (0.5 %wt) by the cross‐linking method using glutaraldehyde. Due to its plenty of active sites, meso‐Al₂O₃ showed high catalysis towards hydroquinone. With the electrocatalytic ability of meso‐Al₂O₃ for the reduction of hydroquinone, the current signal of the antigen‐antibody reaction was amplified and the enhanced sensitivity was achieved. The current decreased linearly with CEA concentration in the range of 0.04 to 10 ng/mL (26 pg/mL, S/N=3). The immunosensor had good selectivity and wonderful stability. Furthermore it was applied to the analysis of CEA in serum sample with satisfactory results.
