We describe a nanostructured immunosensor for the cardiovascular biomarker netrin 1. A glassy carbon electrode was consecutively modified with multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs), nafion (to retain the MWCNTs), thionine-coated gold nanoparticles (Thi@AuNPs), and monoclonal antibodies against netrin 1. The modified electrode was characterized by transmission electron microscopy, cyclic voltammetry, differential pulse voltammetry, UV-visible spectrophotometry and X-ray diffraction. The presence of Thi@AuNPs warrants direct and convenient immobilization of the antibody. This immunoelectrode enables netrin 1 to be determined, best at a voltage of −300 mV (vs. SCE), with a limit of detection of 30 fg mL−1 (at an S/N ratio of 3) after a 50 min incubation time. The detection range extends from 0.09 to 1800 pg∙mL−1. The method is simple, sensitive, specific and reproducible. We presume this stable and reproducible biosensor to be useful for the early detection of cardiovascular diseases.
An immunosensor for determination of salbutamol was developed. It based on glass carbon electrode (GCE) modified with a conductive multilayer film comprised of multi-wall carbon nanotubes, polythionine and gold nanoparticles. Salbutamol antibody was immobilized on the surface of the modified GCE which then was blocked with bovine serum albumin (BSA). The stepwise self-assembly process of the immunosensor was studied by cyclic voltammetry. The detection scheme is based on competitive binding of salbutamol to the sensor surface whose differential pulse voltammetric signal decreases after competitive binding of the salbutamol-BSA conjugate and free salbutamol to the salbutamol antibody. The sensor responds to salbutamol in 5 to 150 nM concentration range, with a detection limit of 1 nM. This method was applied to the precise and sensitive determination of salbutamol in spiked feed samples.

In this work, we constructed a salbutamol immunosensor which was based on salbutamol-Ab adsorbed on the AuNPs/PTH/MWCNTs/GCE. Just as the procedures shown in Graph 1, competitive immunoreaction was the experimental principle. The percentage of current response of the immunosensor was proportional to salbutamol concentrations in the range of 5–150 nM. 相似文献

Electrochemical properties of nicotine at the glassy carbon electrode modified with multi-walled carbon nanotubes were explored. Nicotine underwent irreversible reduction at the modified electrode, which was an adsorption-controlled process with two protons and two electrons. The reductive peak current of nicotine significantly increased at the modified electrode compared with the bare glassy carbon electrode, suggesting that the multi-walled carbon nanotubes can enhance the electron transfer rate. The current was proportional to the concentration of nicotine over two line ranges, and the detection limit was 9.3 µM (at S/N?=?3). For ten parallel detections of 0.62 mM nicotine, the relative standard deviation was 2.67%, suggesting that the film modified electrode had excellent reproducibility. The modified electrode was applied to the direct determination of nicotine in tobacco samples with good sensitivity, selectivity and stability. 相似文献
In this paper, gold nanoparticle-thionine-reduced graphene oxide (GNP-THi-GR) nanocomposites were prepared to design a label-free immunosensor for the sensitive detection of carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA). The nanocomposites with good biocompatibility, excellent redox electrochemical activity and large surface area were coated onto the glassy carbon electrode (GCE) surface and then CEA antibody (anti-CEA) was immobilized on the electrode to construct the immunosensor. The morphologies and electrochemistry of the formed nanocomposites were investigated by using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), ultraviolet-visible (UV-vis) spectrometry, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) and cyclic voltammetry (CV). CV and differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) studies demonstrated that the formation of antibody-antigen complexes decreased the peak current of THi in the GNP-THi-GR nanocomposites. The decreased currents were proportional to the CEA concentration in the range of 10-500 pg/mL with a detection limit of 4 pg/mL. The proposed method was simple, fast and inexpensive for the determination of CEA at very low levels. 相似文献

Multiwalled carbon nanotubes with nanosized sputtered gold were used to modify a glassy carbon electrode (GCE). The substrate was characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction, cyclic voltammetry and amperometry. SEM micrographs indicated an uniform coverage of the carbon nanotubes with nanosized (poly)crystalline gold. Cyclic voltammetry reveals that peak separation of the unmodified GCE in the presence of 1?mM ferricyanide is 131?mV, but 60?mV only for the modified GCE. In addition, the oxidation of NADH (1?mmol?L?1 solution) begins at negative potentials (around ?100?mV vs. Ag/AgCl), and the anodic peak potential (corresponding to the irreversible oxidation of NADH) is found at +94?mV. The effect of pH on the electrocatalytic activity was studied in the range from 5.4 to 8.0. The relationship between the anodic peak potential and the pH indicated a variation of ?33.5?mV/pH which is in agreement with a two-electron and one-proton reaction mechanism. Amperometry, performed at either ?50 or +50?mV vs. an Ag/AgCl reference electrode, indicates that the modified electrode is a viable amperometric sensor for NADH. At a working potential of +50?mV, the response to NADH is linear in the concentration range from 1 to 100???mol?L?1, with an RSD of 6% (n?=?4).

Novel nano-silver coated multi-walled carbon nanotube composites were prepared and used to fabricate a modified electrode. The application of the nano-silver coated multi-walled carbon nanotube composites modified electrode for determination of trace thiocyanate is demonstrated for the first time. The influence of substrate, pH and interference of coexisting substances was investigated for response properties of the electrode. There was a linear relationship at the range 2.5 × 10−9 to 5 × 10−8 mol L−1 and 5 × 10−8 to 1 × 10−6 mol L−1 of thiocyanate with the decrement of anodic DPV peak currents. The limit of detection was 1 × 10−9 mol L−1(S/N = 3). The constructed electrode showed excellent reproducibility and stability. Actual urine and saliva samples of smoker and non-smoker were analyzed and satisfactory results were obtained. This method provides a new way to construct any electrode for biological and environmental analysis. 相似文献
We report on an electrode for the amperometric determination of lorazepam. A glassy carbon electrode was coated with a molecular imprint made by electropolymerization of ortho-phenylenediamine and filled with multiwalled carbon nanotubes and gold nanoparticles, which enhances the transmission of electrons. The sensor was studied with respect to its response to hexacyanoferrate (III) as a probe and by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, cyclic voltammetry and square wave voltammetry. The linear response range to Lorazepam is from 0.5 nM to 1.0 nM and from 1.0 nM to 10.0 nM, with a detection limit of 0.2 nM (at an S/N of 3). The electrode was successfully applied to determine Lorazepam in spiked human serum.

We described a sensitive, label-free electrochemical immunosensor for the detection of carcinoembryonic antigen. It is based on the use of a glassy carbon electrode (GCE) modified with a multi-layer films made from Prussian Blue (PB), graphene and carbon nanotubes by electrodeposition and assembling techniques. Gold nanoparticles were electrostatically absorbed on the surface of the film and used for the immobilization of antibody, while PB acts as signaling molecule. The stepwise assembly process was investigated by differential pulse voltammetry and scanning electron microscopy. It is found that the formation of antibody-antigen complexes partially inhibits the electron transfer of PB and decreased its peak current. Under the optimal conditions, the decrease of intensity of the peak current of PB is linearly related to the concentration of carcinoembryonic antigen in two ranges (0.2–1.0, and 1.0–40.0 ng·mL?1), with a detection limit of 60 pg·mL?1 (S/N?=?3). The immunosensor was applied to analyze five clinical samples, and the results obtained were in agreement with clinical data. In addition, the immunosensor exhibited good precision, acceptable stability and reproducibility.

We discovered a novel method to prepare a protein-based hydrogel, that is, a “Three-Dimensional Nanostructured Protein Hydrogel (3D NPH)”, which is composed of protein–polymer hybrid nanoparticles. In this study, we propose a novel protein microarray whose 3D NPH spots were prepared by dispensing a small volume of the solution of protein–polymer mixture on a substrate. The dispensed solution had a short time for cross-linking before its drying-up and the resulting 3D NPH had loosely cross-linked, thin spongy structure. Therefore, the reaction ratio between ligands and analytes was drastically improved in this system compared with the large volume system for Surface Plasmon Resonance (SPR) protein microarray. 相似文献

A hydrothermal technique was used to synthesize nickel ferrite nanoparticles (NF-NPs) deposited on multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs). The material was characterized by scanning electron microscopy, energy dispersive spectrometry, and X-ray powder diffraction which showed that the NF-NPs are located on the surface of the carboxylated MWCNTs. The material was used to modify a glassy carbon electrode which then was characterized via cyclic voltammetry, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, and amperometry. The electrode displays strong electrochemical response to hydrazine. A potential hydrazine sensing scheme is suggested.
