AbstractA label-free electrochemical aptamer-based sensor has been fabricated for alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) detection. Platinum nanoparticles on carboxylated-graphene oxide (PtNPs/GO-COOH) modified screen-printed graphene-carbon paste electrode (SPGE) was utilized as an immobilization platform, and the AFP aptamer was employed as a bio-recognition element. The synthesized GO-COOH helps to increase the surface area and amounts of the immobilized aptamer. Subsequently, PtNPs are decorated on GO-COOH to enhance electrical conductivity and an oxidation current of the hydroquinone electrochemical probe. The aptamer selectively interacts with AFP, causing a decrease in the peak current of the hydroquinone because the binding biomolecules on the electrode surface hinder the electron transfer of the redox probe. Effects of aptamer concentration and AFP incubation time were studied, and the current changes of the redox probe before and after AFP binding were investigated by square wave voltammetry. The developed aptasensor provides a linear range from 3.0–30 ng mL−1 with a detection limit of 1.22 ng mL−1. Moreover, the aptamer immobilized electrode offers high selectivity to AFP molecules, good stability, and sensitive determination of AFP in human serum samples with high recoveries.

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.

Glycated albumin (GA) has been previously introduced as a promising biomarker for glycemic monitoring in diabetes patients with thalassemia. In this study, a label-free graphene oxide (GO)-modified aptasensor was developed for the rapid detection of GA. The fabrication of the aptasensor was dependent on the covalent interaction of the amine-functionalized GA-specific aptamer with the carboxylic groups of GO. Square wave voltammetry (SWV) analysis was carried out for the measurement of GA-aptamer binding to their specific proteins. The peak current changes before and after incubation with GA protein were directly proportional to the concentration. The developed aptasensor exhibited a broad linearity (1–10,000 µg mL−1), a low detection limit (LOD) of 0.031 µg mL−1, and high selectivity for GA detection. In addition, the aptasensor was successfully applied to detect GA in both spiked and clinical serum samples. The comparison of the developed method with a commercial assay validated the reliability of the aptasensor for clinical application. Therefore, the newly developed aptasensor is a promising tool for GA measurements in diabetic patients with underlying thalassemia.
