In this article, a highly sensitive label-free immunosensor based on a graphene oxide (GO)/Fe3O4/Prussian blue (PB) nanocomposite modified electrode was developed for the determination of human hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg). In this electrochemical immunoassay system, PB was used as a redox probe, while GO/Fe3O4/PB nanocomposites and AuNPs were prepared and coated on screen-printed electrodes to enhance the detection sensitivity and to immobilize the hepatitis B surface antibody (HBsAb). The immunosensor was fabricated based on the principle that the decrease in peak currents of PB is proportional to the concentration of HBsAg captured on the modified immunosensor. The experimental results revealed that the immunosensor exhibited a sensitive response to HBsAg in the range of 0.5 pg·mL−1 to 200 ng·mL−1, and with a low detection limit of 0.166 pg·mL−1 (S/N = 3). Furthermore, the proposed immunosensor was used to detect several clinical serum samples with acceptable results, and it also showed good reproducibility, selectivity and stability, which may have a promising potential application in clinical immunoassays.

AbstractFunctionalized graphene-based nanocomposites have opened new windows to address some challenges for increasing the sensitivity, accuracy and functionality of biosensors. Polyaniline (PANI) is one of the most potentially promising and technologically important conducting polymers, which brings together the electrical features of metals with intriguing properties of plastics including facile processing and controllable chemical and physical properties. PANI/graphene nanocomposites have attracted intense interest in various fields due to unique physicochemical properties including high conductivity, facile preparation and intriguing redox behavior. In this article, a functionalized graphene-grafted nanostructured PANI nanocomposite was applied for determining the ascorbic acid (AA) level. A significant current response was observed after treating the electrode surface with methacrylated graphene oxide (MeGO)/PANI nanocomposite. The amperometric responses showed a robust linear range of 8–5,000 µM and detection limit of 2 µM (N = 5). Excellent sensor selectivity was demonstrated in the presence of electroactive components interfering species, commonly found in real serum samples. This sensor is a promising candidate for rapid and selective determination of AA.

AbstractA label-free biosensor is developed for the determination of plasma-based Aβ1–42 biomarker in Alzheimer’s disease (AD). The platform is based on highly conductive dual-layer of graphene and electrochemically reduced graphene oxide (rGO). The modification of dual-layer with 1-pyrenebutyric acid N-hydroxysuccinimide ester (Pyr-NHS) is achieved to facilitate immobilization of H31L21 antibody. The effect of these modifications were studied with morphological, spectral and electrochemical techniques. The response of the biosensor was evaluated using differential pulse voltammetry (DPV). The data was acquired at a working potential of ~ 180 mV and a scan rate of 50 mV s−1. A low limit of detection (LOD) of 2.398 pM is achieved over a wide linear range from 11 pM to 55 nM. The biosensor exhibits excellent specificity over Aβ1–40 and ApoE ε4 interfering species. Thus, it provides a viable tool for electrochemical determination of Aβ1–42. Spiked human and mice plasmas were used for the successful validation of the sensing platform in bio-fluidic samples. The results obtained from mice plasma analysis concurred with the immunohistochemistry (IHC) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) data obtained from brain analysis.

Purpose: The current project aimed to design a simple, highly sensitive, and economical label-free electrochemical aptasensor for determination of prostate-specific antigen (PSA), as the gold standard biomarker for prostate cancer diagnosis. The aptasensor was set up using a screen-printed carbon electrode (SPCE) modified by gold nanoparticles (Au NPs) conjugated to thiolated aptamers. Methods: Cyclic voltammetry (CV) and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) were implemented for electrochemical (EC) characterization of the aptasensor. The determination of PSA was also performed through differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) in [Fe (CN) 6]3-/4- electrolyte solution. Results: The present aptasensor was shown an outstanding linear response in the concentration range of 1 pg/mL - 200 ng/mL with a remarkably lower limit of detection of 0.077 pg/mL. The optimum concentration for PSA separation and the optimum incubation time for antigen-aptamer binding were determined by observing and electing the highest electrochemical responses in a specified time or concentration. Conclusion: According to the results of the specificity tests, the designed aptasensor did not show any significant interactions with other analytes in real samples. Clinical functionality of the aptasensor was appraised in serum samples of healthy individuals and patients examining the PSA level through the fabricated aptasensor and the reference methods. Both methods are comparable in sensitivity. The present fabricated PSA aptasensor with substantial characteristics of ultra-sensitivity and cost-effectiveness can be conventionally built and used for the routine check-up of the men for prostate problems.
