A label-free electrochemical biosensing strategy based on gold nanoparticle involved layer-by-layer self assembly for the detection of protein is proposed using platelet derived growth factor-BB dimer (PDGF-BB) as the model analyte. Utilizing the strong sulfur-Au affinity, ethanthiol and capture probe modified gold nanoparticles are self-assembled onto the surface of gold electrode successively. The aptamer probe for target protein hybridizes with the capture probe and the biosensor is fabricated. By measuring ac current voltammetry, the target protein can be sensitively detected in a linear dynamic range from 1-1000 ng/mL with a low detection limit of 0.5 ng/mL. Making use of self-assembled gold nanoparticles layer, a large amount of capture probes can be modified onto the gold electrode, supporting the high sensitivity of the proposed strategy. In addition, good reproducibility, high selectivity and stability are achieved. In particular, the biosensor can be easily regenerated by melting in hot water, making it reusable.

A new and effective method has been developed where self-assembled gold nanoparticles (Au-NPs) of ∼10 nm diameter are successfully attached onto the surface of sidewalls and ends of thiol-terminated multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWNTs) functionalized with orthomercaptoaniline, acting as a bridging agent. It can bridge the carbon nanotubes (CNTs) and Au-NPs via the bi-functional moiety with benzene unit at one end and thiol group at the other end by self-assembly. Theortho-mercaptoaniline was first grafted onto the surface of the CNTs viaπ-πinteraction between the benzene ring of the mercaptoaniline andπ-conjugated body of MWNTs surface to produce thiol-terminated CNTs. The bare surface of Au-NPs facilitates to attach on the thiol group of the thiol-terminated CNTs. Attenuated total reflectance FTIR, UV-visible, Raman spectroscopy and X-ray powder diffraction studies were used to verify whether the mercapto-benzene moieties have been attached to theπ-conjugated body of functionalized MWNTs. The direct evidence is obtained from transmission electron microscope (TEM) images where self-assembled Au-NPs are attached onto the functionalized MWNTs.

This study established a microfluidic chip for the capture of A549 human lung circulating tumor cells via the aptamer-conjugated self-assembled monolayer (SAM) of gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) in the channel. AuNPs are among the most attractive nanomaterials for the signal enhancement of biosensors owing to their unique chemical, physical, and mechanical properties. The microchip was fabricated using soft photolithography and casting and molding techniques. A self-assembly method was designed to attach AuNPs, cell-specific aptamers, and target cells onto the desired area (i.e., SAM area). In this study, the gold microelectrode configuration was characterized by fluorescence microscopy and impedance measurements to confirm the important modification steps. Subsequently, several investigations with the proposed assay were conducted with different cell samples to determine the specific binding ability of the device for A549 adenocarcinoma cancer cells. This work has ensured a simple, convenient, selective, and sensitive approach for the development of biosensors for lung cancer detection during the early stages.
