A new immunoassay was designed for the detection of disease-related biomarkers (alpha-fetoprotein, AFP, as a model), coupling an aluminium (Al)/Prussian blue-based electrochromic display with a digital multimeter readout.

Abstract A sandwich-type heterogeneous enzyme immunoassay with flow-injection analysis for alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) in human serum has been developed. 4-Aminophenol, the product of enzymatic reaction, is detected amperometrically. The interassay CV for this electrochemical enzyme immunoassay was less than 8.2%, with a minimum detection limit for AFP of 0.163 micrograms/L. The calibration curve had a linear range of 0.316-100 micrograms/L. Studies with 48 human maternal serum samples, comparing results by this method with those by a commercial kit, showed a good correlation (r = 0.961). This procedure provides an alternative method for determining low concentrations of AFP in human maternal serum.

Abstract We have evaluated a new chemiluminescent substrate for the alkaline phosphatase (EC 3.1.3.1) label used in a Hybritech Tandem-E immunoassay of alpha-fetoprotein (AFP). The new substrate, adamantyl 1,2-dioxetane phenyl phosphate (AMPPD), emits light at 477 nm when acted upon by the enzyme. Detection limits for AFP with this method were 33 ng/L (mean of 20 replicates of the zero standard + 2 SD) and 470 ng/L (twice background). Between-batch CVs ranged from 4.31% to 9.60% for AFP in the range 29.1-132.0 micrograms/L. Comparison of results for 49 specimens assayed with use of the chemiluminescent kit and a colorimetric version of the AFP assay gave statistical values as follows: slope = 0.88, intercept = 4.19, and r = 0.94.
