研究目的
To develop an ultrasensitive photoelectrochemical (PEC) immunoassay for the detection of disease-related biomarkers using high-activity Fe3O4 nanozyme as signal amplifier, aiming for early diagnosis and disease surveillance with simplicity and low cost.
研究成果
The study successfully developed a simple, low-cost PEC immunoassay using high-activity Fe3O4 nanozyme as a signal amplifier, achieving an ultralow detection limit for PSA. The approach offers a promising alternative to traditional enzyme-labeling methods, with potential for broader application in biomarker detection.
研究不足
The study primarily focuses on the use of Fe3O4 nanozyme as a signal amplifier in PEC immunoassays. While it demonstrates high sensitivity and low cost, the applicability to other biomarkers and the potential need for optimization in real biological samples are areas for further exploration.
1:Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The study utilized a PEC immunoassay design where Fe3O4 nanozyme acted as a signal amplifier. The methodology involved the use of ZnO nanorods grown on an ITO electrode, deposited with ZnIn2S4 nanocrystals to form a photoelectrode.
2:Sample Selection and Data Sources:
Prostate-specific antigen (PSA) was used as a target model. The his-Fe3O4 nanozyme was synthesized and conjugated with signal PSA antibody (Ab2).
3:2). List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
3. List of Experimental Equipment and Materials: Included ITO electrodes, ZnO nanorods, ZnIn2S4 nanocrystals, Fe3O4 nanoparticles, and various chemicals for synthesis and modification.
4:Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
The photoelectrode was modified with capture PSA antibody (Ab1), followed by blocking with BSA. Target Ag was then anchored, followed by his-Fe3O4@Ab2 conjugate. The PEC detection was based on the decrease in photocurrent signal due to catalytic precipitation.
5:Data Analysis Methods:
Photocurrent outputs were recorded and analyzed to determine the detection limit and sensitivity of the immunoassay.
