研究目的
Investigating the effects of non-specific adsorption in undiluted human serum and blood on dopamine analysis using RNA-aptamer electrodes and developing strategies to minimize fouling for direct electrochemical detection.
研究成果
The RNA-aptamer electrode can be used for direct dopamine analysis in undiluted human serum under flow conditions with washing steps, achieving good sensitivity and LOD. However, analysis in blood is challenging due to irreversible fouling. This approach offers a simple strategy to combat biosurface fouling and has potential for biomedical applications, but further optimization is needed for blood samples.
研究不足
The aptamer electrode performance is strongly inhibited in undiluted blood due to irreversible fouling by blood cells, making direct analysis unreliable. The method requires flow conditions and washing steps for serum analysis, which may not be practical for all applications. The study is limited to in vitro conditions and may not fully translate to in vivo environments.
1:Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The study used electrochemical methods including cyclic voltammetry (CV), differential pulse voltammetry (DPV), chronoamperometry (CA), and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) to analyze dopamine binding and oxidation. A flow-injection wall-jet analytical system was employed for dynamic measurements.
2:Sample Selection and Data Sources:
Human serum from male AB plasma and human blood from healthy volunteers were used. Samples were spiked with dopamine at clinically relevant concentrations.
3:List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
Gold electrodes (2 mm diameter), Ag/AgCl reference electrodes, platinum wire counter electrode, AUTOLAB PGSTAT 302N potentiostat with impedance module, Gilson peristaltic pump, flow-through wall-jet cell, and various chemicals including RNA aptamer, cysteamine, dopamine, PBS buffer.
4:Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
Electrodes were modified with cysteamine and RNA aptamer. Measurements were conducted in static conditions (5 mL cell) and flow conditions (flow rate
5:8 mL/min). EIS was performed to assess fouling, and CA was used for kinetic analysis. Samples were injected, followed by washing steps with PBS. Data Analysis Methods:
Data were analyzed using NOVA 1.10 software. Kinetic parameters were fitted to first-order binding rate laws. Impedance data were fitted to Randles circuit models. Sensitivity and LOD were calculated from calibration plots.
