A label-free electrochemical aptasensor was constructed for the sensitive and selective determination of AFM1. For preparation of the aptasensor, the AFM1 aptamer was immobilised on the surface of a glassy carbon electrode modified with hemin encapsulated in Fe-based metal-organic frameworks (hemin@Fe-MIL-101). The morphology and the structure of Fe-MIL-101 and hemin@Fe-MIL-101 were evaluated by scanning electron microscopy, Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, X-ray powder diffraction and Brunauer-Emmett-Teller-N2 sorption methods. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy and cyclic voltammetry were performed to monitor the fabrication process of the electrochemical aptasensor. The electrochemical reduction current of hemin encapsulated in Fe-MIL-101 serves as a signal for the quantitative determination of AFM1. Differential pulse voltammetry was done to determine the AFM1 concentration in the linear range of 1.0×10-1-100.0 ng/ml. The detection limit of AFM1 was estimated to be 4.6×10-2 ng/ml. Finally, the fabricated aptasensor was applied to determine AFM1 in raw and boiled milk samples.

A simple and sensitive label-free impedimetric aptasensor for rapid determination of ochratoxin A (OTA) has been developed, which was based on the combination between thiolated aptamer and gold nanoparticles by layer-by-layer self-assembly. Because of the interaction between aptamer and OTA, the relative normalized electron-transfer resistance (ΔRct) values obtained by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) was proportional to the concentration of OTA and showed a good linear relationship from 0.1 to 10.0 ng/mL, with a lower detection limit (0.030 ng/mL) than one-step thiolated DNA aptasensor. The established method was successfully applied to detect and analyze OTA in table wine and grape juice, and the recovery was 90.56%–104.21% when PVP effective removed of phenolic substances. The label-free impedimetric aptasensor was used for rapid detection and quantitation of OTA in the inoculated grapes with the Aspergillus Nigri (H1), and the production of OTA (62.4 μg/kg, 20 μg/kg) far exceeded the maximum levels of 2 μg/kg after inoculation for three days. The developed method exhibited a good specificity, high sensitivity, time-efficient, and it could be applied to detect the OTA concentration in grape and its commodities.

A label-free electrochemical impedimetric immunosensor for the detection of Triiodothyronine—a thyroid hormone that functions as the biomarker for monitoring for thyroid dysfunction was developed. The gold nanoparticle-modified electrode was employed to achieve the sensitive determination of Triiodothyronine at a low concentration level. The gold nanoparticle layer on the gold electrode was generated by chronoamperometry method and its resulting characteristics were investigated by scanning electron microscopy. Redox probe [Fe(CN)6]3−/4− and electrochemical impedance spec-troscopy was used for both evaluation of the immobilization of anti-Triiodothyronine antibody on the electrode surface and quantitative determination of target Triiodothyronine in different concentrations. The electrode with absorbed antibodies showed significant changes in charge transfer resistance upon binding the antigen, which resulted in an increase in normalized impedance change as the addition of antigen concentrations over a dynamic linear range of 0.01–100 ng/ml. These results indicated that the proposed immunosensor could be a potential alternative method for determination of Triiodothyronine in clinics with the advantage of low cost and less time-consuming.

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.

AbstractThe large optical detection systems that are typically utilized at present may not be able to reach their full potential as portable analysis tools. Accurate, early, and fast diagnosis for many diseases requires the direct detection of biomolecules such as DNA, proteins, and cells. In this research, a glass microchip with integrated microelectrodes has been fabricated, and the performance of electrochemical impedance detection was investigated for the biomolecules. We have used label-free λ-DNA as a sample biomolecule. By changing the distance between microelectrodes, the significant difference between DW and the TE buffer solution is obtained from the impedance-frequency measurements. In addition, the comparison for the impedance magnitude of DW, the TE buffer, and λ-DNA at the same distance was analyzed.
