Highly Sensitive Electrogenerated Chemiluminescence Isoniazid with NiO Nanoparticles‐modified Graphite Electrode

Abstract

NiO nanoparticles (NiO NPs) were prepared with chemical precipitation method and modified on the surface of vaseline‐impregnated graphite electrode with chitosan. It was found that, based on the catalysis of the NiO NPs for the chemiluminescent reaction of the ECL process, the enhancing effect of isoniazid on the weak electrogenerated chemiluminescence (ECL) signal of luminol at a NiO NPs‐chitosan modified electrode was stronger than that at a bare graphite electrode. Under the optimum experimental conditions, the relative ECL intensity was linear with isoniazid concentration over the range 3.0×10^?10～1.0×10^?6 g/ml at the NiO NPs‐chitosan modified electrode with a detection limit of 1.0×10^?10 g/ml.

Electrochemiluminescence biosensor for carcinoembryonic antigen detection based on Au-Ag/g-C3N4 nanocomposites

Herein, an electrochemiluminescence (ECL) aptasensor for carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) detection was developed based on Au-Ag/g-C₃N₄ nanocomposites (NCs), which were synthesized by decorating graphitic carbon nitride (g-C₃N₄) nanosheets with alloy-structured Au-Ag bimetallic nanoparticles (NPs) via one-step in situ chemical reduction. As ECL sensing platform, Au-Ag/g-C₃N₄ NCs could significantly improve the ECL intensity of luminol due to the good conductivity of Au-Ag NPs, electrocatalytic activity for oxygen evolution reaction (OER) and the ability to adsorb luminol via π stacking interaction. In addition, it could load the thiol terminated aptamers of CEA via Au-S or Ag-S bonds. In the presence of CEA, the ECL response of the proposed biosensor decreased significantly due to the fact that the assembled protein layers hindered the electron transfer and the diffusion of ECL reactants toward the electrode surface. The proposed ECL sensor exhibited a good linear relationship with CEA in the range of 1.0–1.0 × 10^?6 ng/mL with a detection limit of 8.9 × 10^?7 ng/mL. The satisfactory results were obtained in the detection of CEA in human serum samples.     

Gold nanoparticle‐enhanced capillary electrophoresis‐chemiluminescence assay of trace uric acid

A sensitive method based on gold nanoparticle‐enhanced CE‐chemiluminescence (CL) detection was developed for quantifying uric acid (UA) in serum. In this work, gold nanoparticles were added into the running buffer of CE to catalyze the post‐column CL reaction between luminol and hydrogen peroxide, achieving highly efficient CL emission. Negative peaks were produced due to the inhibitory effects on CL emission from UA eluted from the electrophoretic capillary. The decrease in CL intensity was proportional to the concentration of UA in the range of 2.5×10^?7–1.0×10^?5 M. Detection limit was 4.6×10^?8 M UA. Ten human serum samples were analyzed by the presented method. Serum level of UA was found to be in the range from 204 to 324 μM for healthy subjects (n=5), and from 464 to 497 μM for diabetic patients (n=5). The two groups were significantly different (p<0.05). The results suggested a potential application of the proposed assay in rapid primary diagnosis of diseases such as diabetes.     

Simultaneous Determination of Epinephrine, Noradrenaline and Dopamine in Human Serum Samples by High Performance Liquid Chromatography with Chemiluminescence Detection

A simple, rapid and accurate high performance liquid chromatographic （HPLC） technique coupled with chemiluminescence （CL） detection was developed for the simultaneous determination of epinephrine （E）, noradrenaline （NA） and dopamine （DA）. It was based on the analyte enhancement effect on the CL reaction between luminol and potassium ferricyanide. The effects of various parameters, such as potassium ferricyanide concentration, luminol concentration, pH value and component of the mobile phase on chromatographic behaviors of the analytes （E, NA and DA） were investigated. The separation was carded out on C18 column using the mobile phase of 0.01 mol/L potassium hydrogen phthalate solution and methanol （92 ： 8, V/V）. Under the optimum condi- tions, E, NA and DA showed good linear relationships in the range of 1 × 10^-8 -5 × 10^-6, 5.0× 10^-9 -1.0× 10^-6 and 5.0×10^-9-1.0× 10^-6 g]mL respectively. The detection limits for E, NA and DA were 4.0×10^-9, 1.0× 10^-9 and 8.0 × 10^-10 g/mL. The proposed method has been applied successfully to the analysis of E, NA and DA in human serum samples.     

银（III）配合物-鲁米诺流动注射化学发光新体系测定肾上腺素

儿茶酚胺是一类非常重要的神经递质,在人体的心血管系统、神经系统、内分泌腺、肾脏、平滑肌等组织系统的生理活动中起着广泛的调节作用。肾上腺素为儿茶酚胺的一种,建立灵敏、高效的肾上腺素检测技术具有重要的临床意义。本文将银（Ⅲ）配合物与鲁米诺组成新的流动注射化学发光体系,利用碱性介质中肾上腺素对三价银配合物－鲁米诺化学发光体系有明显的增强效应来测定肾上腺素的含量,并据此建立了高效测定肾上腺素的流动注射化学发光新方法。在优化的条件下,该方法测定肾上腺素的线型范围为1.0×10－9～1.0×10－7 mol L-1,检出限为8.0×10－10 mol L-1,对1.5×10－8 mol L-1肾上腺素11次平行测定,其相对标偏差为2.9％。利用建立的分析方法测定了药物肾上腺素,并对三价银－鲁米诺化学发光新体系测定肾上腺素的反应机理进行了讨论。     

A Highly Sensitive Electrochemiluminescence Choline Biosensor Based on Poly(aniline‐luminol‐hemin) Nanocomposites

Poly(aniline‐luminol‐hemin) nanocomposites are prepared on an electrode surface through electropolymerization, and a highly sensitive electrochemiluminescence (ECL) biosensor for choline is developed based on the poly(aniline‐luminol‐hemin) nanocomposites and an enzyme catalyzed reaction of choline oxidase (CHOD). The obtained nanocomposites are characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), atomic absorption spectrometry (AAS) and ECL. The results indicate that hemin can be incorporated into the poly(aniline‐luminol) nanocomposites using the facile electropolymerization method, and the poly(aniline‐luminol‐hemin) nanocomposites are rod shaped porous nanostructure. Moreover, the poly(aniline‐luminol‐hemin) nanocomposites exhibit higher ECL intensity than poly(aniline‐luminol) nanocomposites in alkaline media due to the catalytic effect of hemin on the ECL of the polymerized luminol and the electron transfer ability of hemin in the nanocomposites. CHOD is immobilized on the surface of the poly(aniline‐luminol‐hemin) nanocomposites modified electrode with glutaraldehyde, and the ECL biosensor based on poly(aniline‐luminol‐hemin)/CHOD exhibits a wider linear range for the choline detection. The enhanced ECL signals are linear with the logarithm of concentration of choline over the range of 1.0×10^?11～1.0×10^?7 mol L^?1 with a low detection limit of 1.2×10^?12 mol L^?1. Moreover, the proposed biosensor is successfully applied to the detection of choline in milk.     

Automated Sequential‐injection Chemiluminescence Determination of Glucosamine Sulphate via Luminol‐Hydrogen Peroxide System

A highly sensitive automated sequential‐injection chemiluminescence (SIA‐CL) method for determination of glucosamine sulphate (GLS) was developed. The goal of the present work is the evaluation of the enhancement effect of the investigated drug glucosamine sulphate on the chemiluminescence reaction between luminol and H₂O₂ in alkaline medium of 1.0 × 10^?2 mol L^?1 sodium hydroxide at pH 11. The experimental conditions affecting the CL reaction such as the sequence of the reagents, concentrations, flow rate and aspirated volumes of reactants were systematically investigated and optimized. Under optimum conditions 50 μL of 1.0 × 10^?3 mol L^?1 luminol, 30 μL of a GLS test solution and 50 μL of 1.0 × 10^?2 mol L^?1 H₂O₂ were used and the luminescing zone was pushed into the detector at a flow rate 100 μL s^?1. The proposed method recorded high sensitivity, accuracy and simplicity that could be clarified as linear concentration range 1.0‐2000 ng mL^?1 with rectilinear part (r = 0.9992, n = 9) and limit of detection 0.3 ng mL^?1, along with relative standard deviation 1.3%. It was found that the developed method can be used directly to determine the investigated drug GLS in its pharmaceutical dosage forms and in spiked serum and urine by diluting the samples for a 1000 fold. The obtained results were statistically analyzed and compared with those obtained by the reported method.     

Determination of Gallic Acid by Flow Injection Analysis Based on Luminol‐AgNO3‐Ag NPs Chemiluminescence System

A novel flow injection procedure has been developed for the determination of gallic acid based on the enhancement function for luminol‐AgNO₃‐Ag NPs chemiluminescence (CL) system by gallic acid. The enhancement mechanism was proposed for the reinforcing effect of the gallic acid on the CL system. The UV‐vis absorption spectrum and CL emission spectrum were applied to confirm the mechanism. The method is simple, rapid and sensitive with a detection limit of 5×10^?10 g·mL^?1 and a linear range of 8.0×10^?10–1.0×10^?7 g·mL^?1. The relative standard deviation (RSD) is 1.3% for eleven measurements of 5×10^?8 g·mL^?1 gallic acid. The method has been successfully applied to the determination of gallic acid in Chinese proprietary medicine–Jianmin Yanhou tablets and synthesized samples.     

A Multicommuted Flow‐based System for Hydrogen Peroxide Determination by Chemiluminescence Detection Using a Photodiode

Abstract

A simple, rapid, and automated assay for hydrogen peroxide in pharmaceutical samples was developed by combining the multicommutation system with a chemiluminescence (CL) detector. The detection was performed using a spiral flow‐cell reactor made from polyethylene tubing that was positioned in front of a photodiode. It allows the rapid mixing of CL reagent and analyte and simultaneous detection of the emitted light. The chemiluminescence was based on the reaction of luminol with hydrogen peroxide catalyzed by hexacyanoferrate(III).

The feasibility of the flow system was ascertained by analyzing a set of pharmaceutical samples. A linear response within the range of 2.2–210 µmol l^?1 H₂O₂ with a LD of 1.8 µmol l^?1 H₂O₂ and coefficient of variations smaller than 0.8% for 1.0×10^?5 mol l^?1 and 6.8×10^?5 mol l^?1 hydrogen peroxide solutions (n=10) were obtained. Reagents consumption of 90 µg of luminol and 0.7 mg of hexacyanoferrate(III) per determination and sampling rate of 200 samples per hour were also achieved.     

Artificial Enzyme Mimics for Catalysis and Double Natural Enzyme Co-immobilization

This work presents a new chemiluminescent (CL) probe array assay. The new type CL probe array is based on enzyme mimics of Co₃O₄–SiO₂ mesoporous nanocomposite material, which not only have an excellent catalytic effect on the luminol–H₂O₂ CL reaction in an alkaline medium but also can be used for the immobilization of enzymes. The linear range of the lactose concentration is 3.0?×?10^?7 to 1.0?×?10^?5 g mL^?1 and the detection limit is 6.9?×?10^?8 g mL^?1. β-Galactosidase and glucose oxidase were selected as a model for enzyme assays to demonstrate the applicability of Co₃O₄–SiO₂ mesoporous nanocomposite material in multienzyme immobilization. The novel bifunctional CL probe array has been successfully applied to the determination of lactose in milk.     

Simultaneous quantification of catecholamines in rat brain by high‐performance liquid chromatography with on‐line gold nanoparticle‐catalyzed luminol chemiluminescence detection

A new method based on high‐performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) coupled with on‐line gold nanoparticle‐catalyzed luminol chemiluminescence (CL) detection was developed for the simultaneous quantitation of catecholamines in rat brain. In the present CL system, gold nanoparticles were produced by the on‐line reaction of H₂O₂, NaHCO₃?Na₂CO₃ (buffer solution of luminol) and HAuCl_4. Norepinephrine (NE), epinephrine (EP) and dopamine (DA) could strongly enhance the CL signal of the on‐line gold nanoparticle‐catalyzed luminol system. The UV?visible absorption spectra and transmission electron microscopy studies were carried out, and the CL enhancement mechanism was proposed. Catecholamines promoted the on‐line formation of more gold nanoparticles, which better catalyzed the luminol–H₂O₂ CL reaction. The good separation of NE, EP and DA was achieved with isocratic elution using a mixture of methanol and 0.2% aqueous phosphoric acid (5:95, v/v) within 8.5 min. Under the optimized conditions, the detection limits, defined as a signal‐to‐noise ratio of 3, were in the range of 1.32–1.90 ng/mL, corresponding to 26.4?38.0 pg for 20 μL sample injection. The recoveries of catecholamines added to rat brain sample were >94.6%, with the precisions <5.5%. The validated HPLC?CL method was successfully applied to determine NE and DA in rat brain without prior sample purification. Copyright © 2014 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Label-Free Electrochemiluminescent Determination of DNA Using Luminol and Hemin Functionalized Nanoparticles

Luminol and hemin dual-functionalized silica nanoparticles were synthesized using a typical reverse water-in-oil microemulsion protocol. The obtained nanoparticles were further characterized by transmission electron microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, atomic absorption spectrometry, chemiluminescence, and electrochemiluminescence. The results indicated that the luminol and hemin dual-functionalized silica nanoparticles exhibited significantly higher chemiluminescence and electrochemiluminescence intensities than those of luminol functionalized silica nanoparticles due to the catalytic effect of hemin on the chemiluminescence and electrochemiluminescence of luminol. Furthermore, a simple and sensitive label-free electrochemiluminescence DNA biosensor was developed based on the chitosan modified luminol and hemin dual-functionalized silica nanoparticles and a single-stranded DNA probe. The chitosan modified luminol and hemin dual-functionalized silica nanoparticles were immobilized on the surface of an indium-doped tin oxide electrode and the single-stranded DNA probe was immobilized on the surface of the nanoparticles through electrostatic interactions between single-stranded DNA and chitosan, which allowed hybridization with the target DNA sequences. The hybridization events were evaluated by electrochemiluminescence, and only the complementary sequence formed double-stranded DNA with the DNA probe to give strong electrochemiluminescence signals. Finally, the electrochemiluminescence intensity was found to be linearly related to the concentration of the complementary sequence at concentrations from 1.0?×?10^?12 to 1.0?×?10^?6?mol·L^?1 with a detection limit of 5.0?×?10^?13?mol·L^?1.     

Flow Injection Chemiluminescence Determination of Phenol in Neutral Medium

A new flow injection chemiluminescence method for the determination of phenol was proposed, based upon the chemiluminescence reaction of phenol, N-bromosuccinimide, and hydrogen peroxide in neutral aqueous medium in the presence of cetyltrimethylammonium bromide surfactant micelles. The chemiluminescence signal was proportional to the concentration of phenol in the range of 1.0 × 10^?7?8.0 × 10^?6 g/mL with a detection limit of 3 × 10^?8 g/mL. The relative standard deviation for 1.0 × 10^?6 g/mL phenol solution was 2.0% (n = 11). The proposed method was successfully applied to the determination of phenol in phenol ear drops. A possible CL reaction mechanism was also discussed briefly.     

Flow‐Injection Chemiluminescence Analysis of Cloperastione Hydrochloride

Abstract

A new chemiluminescence (CL) reaction was observed when cloperastine hydrochloride was injected into the reaction mixture after the CL reaction of Ce(IV) and sodium sulfite finished. A new flow injection CL method for the determination of cloperastine hydrochloride was established based on the CL reaction. The relative standard deviation (RSD) for the determination of cloperastine hydrochloride was 1.3% (n=11, c=1.0×10^?6 g/mL). The CL intensity responded linearly to the concentration of cloperastine hydrochloride in the range 2.0×10^?7～2.0×10^?5 g/mL (r=0.9962). The detection limit was 5×10^?8 g/mL cloperastine hydrochloride. The method had been applied to the determination of cloperastine hydrochloride in tablets with satisfactory results.     

Carbon dots-enhanced luminol chemiluminescence and its application to 2-methoxyestradiol determination

In this study, the fluorescent carbon dots (CDs) of good biocompatibility and low toxicity was prepared by a carbonation route, and a strong enhancement effect of CDs on the luminol-K₃Fe(CN)₆ chemiluminescence (CL) system was observed. 5?±?1?nm CDs were used as catalysts to enhance the reaction sensitivity. In the presence of 2-methoxyestradiol (2-ME), the CL intensity of CDs-luminol-K₃Fe(CN)₆ was significantly inhibited. The relative CL intensity was linearly related to the 2-ME concentration in the range of 1.0?×?10^?9 –1.0?×?10^?7?g?mL^-1 with a lower detection limit of 4.1?×?10^?10?g?mL^?1. As a preliminary application, the highly sensitive method was successfully applied to the determination of 2-ME in both pharmaceutical preparation and serum samples with satisfactory results. The possible mechanism of CL reaction catalyzed by CDs was investigated and the CDs played a role of catalyst in the reaction which could promote the generation of oxygen radicals.

It could be concluded that the enhancement effect on CL by CDs was attributed to the formation of oxygen radicals. The oxidation reaction of luminol was accelerated by oxygen radicals, which led to the enhanced CL emission.     

Detection of DNA immobilized on bare gold electrodes and gold nanoparticle-modified electrodes via electrogenerated chemiluminescence using a ruthenium complex as a tag

Electrogenerated chemiluminescence (ECL) for DNA hybridization detection is demonstrated based on DNA that was self-assembled onto a bare gold electrode and onto a gold nanoparticles modified gold electrode. A ruthenium complex served as an ECL tag. Gold nanoparticles were self-assembled on a gold electrode associated with a 1,6-hexanedithiol monolayer. The surface density of single stranded DNA (ssDNA) on the gold nanoparticle modified gold electrode was 4.8?×?10¹⁴ molecules per square centimeter which was 12-fold higher than that on the bare gold electrode. Hybridization was induced by exposure of the target ssDNA gold electrode to the solution of ECL probe consisting of complementary ssDNA tagged with ruthenium complex. The detection limit of target ssDNA on a gold nanoparticle modified gold electrode (6.7?×?10^?12 mol L^?1) is much lower than that on a bare gold electrode (1.2?×?10^?10 mol L^?1). The method has been applied to the detection of the DNA sequence related to cystic fibrosis. This work demonstrates that employment of gold nanoparticles self-assembled on a gold electrode is a promising strategy for the enhancement of the sensitivity of ECL detection of DNA.

A highly sensitive electrochemiluminescence immunosensor based on magnetic nanoparticles and its application in CA125 determination

A novel electrogenerated chemiluminescence (ECL) immunoassay based on enzyme amplification and magnetic nanoparticle enrichment was developed, and carbohydrate antigen 125 (CA125) was chosen as the analyte. Fe₃O₄ magnetic nanoparticles loaded with anti-CA125 were synthesized. The sandwich-type immunoassay was performed on the magnetic force-controlled carbon paste electrode via the immunoreactions among glucose oxidase-labeled anti-CA125, CA125, and anti-CA125 on the surface of magnetic nanoparticles. ECL was generated by the reaction between luminol and hydrogen peroxide. Hydrogen peroxide was produced during the enzymatic reaction with glucose and markedly increased in the presence of CA125 antigen. The CA125 concentrations were determined within the range of 0–10?mU?mL^?1, and the detection limit was 8.0 μU mL^?1. The CA125 immunosensor was more sensitive than those previously reported. The proposed ECL method also provided a simple selectivity immunoassay protocol, which was applied in the determination of CA125 in clinical serum samples.
