An immunosensor has been fabricated for direct amperometric determination of carcinoembryonic antigen. It is based on a biocompatible composite film composed of porous chitosan (pChit) and gold nanoparticles (GNPs). Firstly, a pChit film was formed on a glassy carbon electrode by means of electrodeposition. Then, thionine as a redox probe was immobilized on the pChit film modified electrode using glutaraldehyde as a cross-linker. Finally, GNPs were adsorbed on the electrode surface to assemble carcinoembryonic antibody (anti-CEA). The surface morphology of the pChit films was studied by means of a scanning electron microscope. The immunosensor was further characterized by cyclic voltammetry and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. The electrochemical behaviors and factors influencing the performance of the resulting immunosensors were studied in detail. Results showed that the pChit films can enhance the surface coverage of antibodies and improve the sensitivity of the immunosensor. Under optimal conditions, the immunosensor was highly sensitive to CEA with a detection limit of 0.08 ng·mL?1 at three times the background noise and linear ranges of 0.2～10.0 ng·mL?1 and 10.0～160 ng·mL?1. Moreover, the immunosensor exhibited high selectivity, good reproducibility and stability. 相似文献
A novel sandwich-type electrochemical immunosensor for human immunoglobulin G (hIgG) was developed using Au/SiO2 nanoparticles (NPs) with adsorbed horseradish peroxidase-anti-hIgG as the secondary antibody layer. The signal readout is based on the amperometric response to the catalytic reduction of hydrogen peroxide at an AuNPs-polythionine modified glassy carbon electrode. Under optimized conditions, the linear range is from 0.1 to 200 ng·mL?1, with a detection limit of 0.035 ng·mL?1 (at an S/N of 3). The immunosensor exhibited a performance that is better than that based on Au/SiO2NPs-excluded secondary antibody. 相似文献
A novel electrochemical immunosensor was prepared for the detection of the hepatitis C virus non-structural 5A protein. A glassy carbon electrode was modified with an Au-MoO3/Chitosan nanocomposite that warranted good conductivity and biocompatibility. Mesoporous silica with a large specific surface served as a nanocarrier for horseradish peroxidase and the polyclonal antibody as the reporter probe. The immunosensor was characterized by scanning electron microscopy, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, and cyclic voltammetry. Following the sandwich-type immunoreaction, horseradish peroxidase was efficiently captured on the surface of the electrode to catalyze the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide. The analytical signal was obtained as an amperometric i-t curve (chronoamperometry). The assay reported here had a wide detection range (1 ng mL?1 ?50 µg mL?1) and detection limit as low as 1 ng mL?1 of hepatitis C virus non-structural 5A protein. The electrochemical biosensor experiments showed excellent reproducibility, high selectivity, and outstanding stability for the determination of hepatitis C virus non-structural 5A protein, and it was successfully applied to the detection of the analyte in real serum samples. 相似文献
The application of gold nanoparticle-based electrochemical immunoassays have been extensively studied for the detection of hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg), but most often they exhibit low sensitivity. We describe the fabrication of a new electrochemical immunoassay for signal amplification of the antigen-antibody reaction combined with the nanogold-based bio-barcode technique. Hepatitis B surface antibody (HBsAb) was initially immobilized on a nanogold/thionine/DNA-modified gold electrode, and then a sandwich-type immunoassay format was employed for the detection of HBsAg using nanogold-codified horseradish peroxidase-HBsAb conjugates as secondary antibodies. Under optimal conditions, the current response of the sandwich-type immunocomplex relative to the H2O2 system was proportional to HBsAg concentration in the range from 0.5 to 650 ng·mL?1 with a detection limit of 0.1 ng·mL?1 (S/N?=?3). The precision, reproducibility and stability of the immunosensor were acceptable. Subsequently, the immunosensors were used to assay HBsAg in human serum specimens. Analytical results were in agreement with those obtained by the standard chemiluminescence enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. 相似文献
The authors describe a disposable electrochemical immunosensor strip for the detection of the Japanese encephalitis virus (JEV). The assay is based on the use of a screen printed carbon electrode (SPCE) modified with carbon nanoparticles (CNPs) that were prepared from starch nanoparticles and deposited on the SPCE working electrode whose surface was functionalized with 3-aminopropyl triethoxysilane. Next, antibody of JEV was immobilized on the surfaces of the CNPs. The analytical performance of immunosensor strip was characterized using cyclic voltammetry (with hexacyanoferrate as the redox probe) and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. The deposition of CNPs enhances the electron transfer kinetics and current intensity of the SPCE by 63% compared to an unmodified SPCE. Under optimized conditions, the calibration plot is linear within the 5–20 ng·mL?1 JEV concentration range, the limit of detection being 2 ng·mL?1 (at an S/N ratio of 3), and the assay time is 20 min. This immunosensor strip was successfully applied to the detection of JEV in human serum samples. It represents a cost-effective alternative to conventional diagnostic tests for JEV.

A novel electrochemical immunosensor was developed for the determination of prostate-specific antigen based on immobilization of appropriate antibodies on gold nanoparticles and a poly-(2,6-pyridinediamine) modified electrode. The nanocomposite of ferrocene monocarboxylic acid hybridized graphene oxide was prepared by a π-π stacking interaction and was used as the electrochemical probe. A sandwich-type complex immunoassay was applied with polyclonal prostate-specific antigen antibodies labeled with the nanocomposite of ferrocene monocarboxylic acid hybridized graphene oxide. In order to improve the sensitivity, a potentiostatic method was used to reduce graphene oxide. Cyclic voltammetry and differential pulse voltammetry were employed to characterize the assembly process and the performance of the immunosensor. Under optimal conditions, the peak current of the immunosensor increased with concentration, showing a linear relationship between the peak current and the logarithm of the prostate-specific antigen concentrations in a wide range of 2.0 pg mL?1 to 10.0 ng mL?1 with a low detection limit of 0.5 pg mL?1. The immunosensor was used for the determination of prostate-specific antigen in serum. 相似文献
A new strategy is described to construct disposable electrochemical immunosensors for the assay of human immunoglobulin. It is based on a carbon paste electrode constructed from chitosan nanoparticles modified with colloidal gold. The stepwise assembly process of the immunosensor was characterized by means of cyclic voltammetry and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. Assay conditions that were optimized included the amount of chitosan nanoparticles in the preparation of carbon paste electrode, antibody concentration, and the incubation time of the antibody immobilization. Using hexacyanoferrate as a mediator, the current change increased with the concentration of human immunoglobulin G. A linear relationship in the concentration range 0.3 to 120 ng mL?1 was achieved, with a detection limit of 0.1 ng mL?1 (S/N?=?3). The method combines the specificity of the immunological reaction with the sensitivity of the gold colloid amplified electrochemical detection, and it has potential application in clinical immunoassay. 相似文献
We describe a label-free electrochemical immunosensor for the carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA). It is based on a nanocomposite consisting of electrochemically reduced graphene oxide, gold nanoparticles (AuNPs), and poly(indole-6-carboxylic acid). Coupled to nanoparticle-amplification techniques and modified with ionic liquid (IL), this immunoassay shows high sensitivity and good selectivity for CEA. At the best working voltage of 0.95 V (vs. Ag/AgCl), the lower detection limit is 0.02 ng·mL?1, and the response to CEA is linear in the range from 0.02 to 90 ng·mL?1. The method was applied to the determination of CEA in spiked serum samples and gave recoveries in the range from 98.5 % to 102 %.
Graphical abstract A label-free electrochemical immunosensor was fabricated for the carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) with a detection limit of 0.02 ng·mL?1.

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.

A sensitive, simple, and accurate method for determination and pharmacokinetic study of ferulic acid and isoferulic acid in rat plasma was developed using a reversed-phase column liquid chromatographic (RP-LC) method with UV detection. Sample preparations were carried out by protein precipitation with the addition of methanol, followed by evaporation to dryness. The resultant residue was then reconstituted in mobile phase and injected into a Kromasil C18 column (250 × 4.6 mm i.d. with 5 μm particle size). The mobile phase was methanol-1% formic acid (33:67, v/v). The calibration plots were linear over the range 5.780–5780 ng·mL−1 for ferulic acid and 1.740–348.0 ng·mL−1 for isoferulic acid. Mean recoveries were 85.1% and 91.1%, respectively. The relative standard deviations (RSDs) of within-day and between-day precision were not above 15% for both of the analytes. The limits of quantification were 5.780 ng·mL−1 for ferulic acid and 1.740 ng·mL−1 for isoferulic acid. This RP-LC method was used successfully in pharmacokinetic studies of ferulic acid and isoferulic acid in rat plasma after intravenous injection of Guanxinning Lyophilizer.
A simple, highly sensitive and label‐free electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) immunosensor was developed using Nafion and gold nanoparticles (nano‐Au/Nafion) composites for the determination of 1‐pyrenebutyric acid (PBA). Under the optimal conditions, the amount of immobilized antibody was significantly improved on the nano‐Au/Nafion electrode due to the synergistic effect and biocompatibility of Nafion film and gold nanoparticles composites. The results showed that the sensitivity and stability of nano‐Au/Nafion composite electrode for PBA detection were much better than those of nano‐Au modified glassy carbon electrode (nano‐Au/GCE). The plot of increased electron transfer resistances (Rets) against the logarithm of PBA concentration is linear over the range from 0.1 to 150 ng·mL?1 with the detection limit of 0.03 ng·mL?1. The selectivity and accuracy of the proposed EIS immunosensor were evaluated with satisfactory results. 相似文献

Abstract A simple, rapid, and sensitive analytical method has been developed for the determination of two fluoroquinolones, danofloxacin and marbofloxacin, in bovine milk samples. Separation and quantification were performed by micellar liquid chromatography with fluorescence detection (MLC?FD), using sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) as a surfactant. The influence of the principal factors, namely, the micelle concentration, the amount of organic modifier, tail‐reducing agents, the pH, and the temperature were studied. The suitable condition was found to be 75 mM SDS?10 mM phosphate buffer–18 mM tetrabutylammonium bromide/3% (v/v) 1‐propanol at pH 3.0 for the separation of marbofloxacin, danofloxacin, and tosufloxacin (internal standard) in about 20 min. The linear concentration range of application was 1.8–30.0 ng · mL?1 for danofloxacin and 16–120 ng · mL?1 for marbofloxacin, and the relative standard deviation ranged between 4.9 and 2.7%. The limit of detection found for danofloxacin was 0.5 ng · mL?1 and 5 ng · mL?1 for marbofloxacin. These values were lower than the maximum residue limits (MRLs) established by the European Union for these compounds in bovine milk. It was applied to check the eventual existence of these compounds above these limits on commercial milk samples. The validation method was completed with spiked milk samples. Recovery levels obtained were 90.3–108.2%. 相似文献
A dual-responsive sandwich-type immunosensor is described for the detection of interleukin 6 (IL-6) by combining electrochemiluminescent (ECL) and electrochemical (EC) detection based on the use of two kinds of TiO2 mesocrystal nanoarchitectures. A composite was prepared from TiO2 (anatase) mesocages (AMCs) and a carboxy-terminated ionic liquid (CTIL) and then placed on a glassy carbon electrode (GCE). In the next step, the ECL probe Ru(bpy)3(II) and antibody against IL-6 (Ab1) were immobilized on the GCE. Octahedral anatase TiO2 mesocrystals (OAMs) served as the matrix for immobilizing acid phosphatase (ACP) and secondary antibody (Ab2) labeled with horseradish peroxidase (HRP) to form a bioconjugate of type Ab2-HRP/ACP/OAMs. It was self-assembled on the GCE by immunobinding. 1-Naphthol, which is produced in-situ on the surface of the GCE due to the hydrolysis of added 1-naphthyl phosphate by ACP, is oxidized by HRP in the presence of added H2O2. This results in an electrochemical signal (typically measured at 0.4 V vs. Ag/AgCl) that increases linearly in the 10 fg·mL?1 to 90 ng·mL?1 IL-6 concentration range with a detection limit of 0.32 fg·mL?1. Secondly, the oxidation product of 1-naphthol quenches the ECL emission of Ru(bpy)32+. This leads to a decrease in ECL intensity which is linear in the 10 ag·mL?1 to 90 ng·mL?1 concentration range, with a detection limit of 3.5 ag·mL?1. The method exhibits satisfying selectivity and good reproducibility which demonstrates its potential in clinical testing and diagnosis.

The authors describe a voltammetric immunosensor with antibody immobilized on a glassy carbon electrode (GCE) modified with N-doped graphene (N-GS), electrodeposited gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) and chitosan (Chit). The preparation is simple and the thickness of the electrodeposited films can be well controlled. Due to the specific advantages of N-GS, AuNPs and Chit, the electrode has a large specific surface, improved conductivity, high stability. A new label-free immunosensor for the model antigen (alpha fetoprotein, AFP) detection was then designed by employing N-GS-AuNP-Chit as the antibody immobilization and signal amplification platform. Differential pulse voltammetry and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy were used for the characterization of the stepwise assembly process. Under the optimized conditions, at a typical working potential of +0.20 V (vs. SCE), and by using hexacyanoferrate as an electrochemical probe, the immunosensor has a detection limit as low as 1.6 pg mL?1 and a linear analytical range that extends from 5 pg mL?1 to 50 ng mL?1. AFP was quantified in spiked human serum samples with acceptable precision.

Diphenyl diselenide was immobilized on chitosan loaded with magnetite (Fe3O4) nanoparticles to give an efficient and cost-effective nanosorbent for the preconcentration of Pb(II), Cd(II), Ni(II) and Cu(II) ions by using effervescent salt-assisted dispersive magnetic micro solid-phase extraction (EA-DM-μSPE). The metal ions were desorbed from the sorbent with 3M nitric acid and then quantified via microflame AAS. The main parameters affecting the extraction were optimized using a one-at-a-time method. Under optimum condition, the limits of detection, linear dynamic ranges, and relative standard deviations (for n?=?3) are as following: Pb(II): 2.0 ng·mL?1; 6.3–900 ng·mL?1; 1.5%. Cd(II): 0.15 ng·mL?1; 0.7–85 ng·mL?1, 3.2%; Ni(II): 1.6 ng·mL?1,.6.0–600. ng·mL?1, 4.1%; Cu(II): 1.2 ng·mL?1, 3.0–300 ng·mL?1, 2.2%. The nanosorbent can be reused at least 4 times.

Sample preparation technique based on an organic filter membrane (pH-resolved filter membrane microextraction) (pH-RFMME) was developed, coupled with high-performance liquid chromatography, and used to determine protoberberine alkaloids (jatrorrhizine, epiberberine, coptisine, palmatine, and berberine) in Coptis chinensis at different pH values through a one-step procedure. This green procedure provides a desirable sample pretreatment technology. The main variables affecting the extraction such as filter membrane area (or volumes of extraction solvents), sample pH, eluent pH, ionic strength, extraction stirring rate, extraction time, and sample volume were optimized. Under the optimized conditions, the enrichment factors of the analytes were 40.4–52.0, the linear ranges were 3.2–6250 ng · mL?1 for jatrorrhizine and epiberberine, 6.0–12000 ng · mL?1 for coptisine, 1.8–3600 ng · mL?1 for palmatine, and 18.8–18800 ng · mL?1 for berberine, with r2 ≥ 0.9945. The limits of detection were less than 0.3 ng · mL?1. Satisfactory recoveries (84.8%–115.5%) and precision (1.8%–10.0%) were also achieved. These results confirmed that pH-RFMME is a simple, rapid, practical, and environmentally friendly method to isolate analytes that exhibit significant differences in acidity or alkalinity from complex samples. 相似文献
Epidemiological studies have demonstrated an association between the risk of cardiovascular events and increasing C-reactive protein (CRP) concentration. This paper reports the development of an immunosensor for the assessment of the cardiovascular process using anti-C-reactive protein antibody immobilized onto a gold-printed screen electrode. Positive and negative human sera were successfully evaluated using electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), differential pulse voltammetry (DPV), and atomic force microscopy (AFM). EIS results show that, after the incubation with positive serum for myocardial infarction, the resistance increased about two times in relation to the negative serum. A linear range from 6.25 to 50 μg mL?1 and detection limit of 0.78 μg mL?1 using DPV were obtained. The immunosensor developed for the CRP detection using gold electrode revealed efficacy and a potential use for the diagnosis and monitoring of the progression of cardiovascular diseases. 相似文献
