A novel ECL sensor based on a boronate affinity molecular imprinting technique and functionalized SiO2@CQDs/AuNPs/MPBA nanocomposites for sensitive determination of alpha-fetoprotein
摘要: In this work, a boronate-affinity sandwich electrochemiluminescence (ECL) sensor was constructed to detect alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) based on a multiple signal amplification strategy. Gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) were utilized and modified on the surface with chitosan in order to facilitate electron transfer. The composite of the molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP) enhanced the selectivity of alpha-fetoprotein detection. 4-mercaptophenylboronic acid (MPBA) was used as the tracing tag for capture of alpha-fetoprotein. SiO2 nanoparticles carried carbon quantum dots (CQDs) labeled with gold nanoparticles and produced an ECL signal. Under the optimum experimental conditions, the linear range for alpha-fetoprotein was between 0.001 and 1000 ng/mL with a correlation coefficient of 0.9952, and the detection limit was 0.0004 ng/mL (S/N=3). This proposed ECL sensor displayed several advantages, including outstanding selectivity, fine reproducibility, high sensitivity, low detection limit and wide linear range. Furthermore, the newly constructed boronate-affinity sandwich ECL sensor was successfully applied to the determination of alpha-fetoprotein in serum samples, indicating great potential for application in clinical diagnostics.

Controllably prepared molecularly imprinted core-shell plasmonic nanostructure for plasmon-enhanced fluorescence assay
摘要: Plasmon-enhanced fluorescence (PEF) is an emerging technology for sensitive detection. It relies on the plasmonic effect of a noble metal nanostructure to dramatically enhance the fluorescence of target fluorophores around the metal surface. Because there is a compromise between plasmonic enhancement and florescence quenching, it is critical to control the distance between the fluorophore and the metal surface to an appropriate range. This makes the fabrication of plasmonic nanostructures for PEF assays a challenging task. Herein, we report a controllably prepared core-shell plasmonic nanostructure coated with molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP) for sensitive and specific PEF assay. Riboflavin (RF) was used as a test compound in this study. RF-imprinted Ag@SiO2 nanoparticles were prepared in a controllable manner, providing an optimal distance between the metal surface and RF molecules. The obtained hybrid nanostructure allowed for sensitive detection and specific recognition towards the target. Based on the plasmonic hybrid nanostructure, a sensitive and specific PEF assay of RF was developed and successfully applied to the determination of RF in human urine. Thus, the study paved the way for controllable preparation of molecularly imprinted plasmonic nanostructures for sensitive and specific PEF assays.
