An ingenious electrochemical system based on naphthalenediimide derivatives for ultrasensitive immunosensing of alpha-fetoprotein.

It is crucial to develop highly efficient electrochemistry systems for sensitive detection of tumour markers. In this work, naphthalenediimide derivatives with electrochemical application potential were successfully synthesized and characterized. Electrochemistry and calculation of density functional theory (DFT) showed that 2,7-bis(4-(dimethylamino)phenyl)benzo[lmn] [3,8]phenanthroline-1,3,6,8(2H,7H)-tetraone (NDI-1) was an ideal candidate for electrochemical probe construction.

A novel dual-signal output strategy for POCT of CEA based on a smartphone electrochemical aptasensing platform.

A smartphone-based electrochemical aptasensing platform was developed for the point-of-care testing (POCT) of carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) based on the ferrocene (Fc) and PdPt@PCN-224 dual-signal labeled strategy. The prepared PdPt@PCN-224 nanocomposite showed a strong catalytic property for the reduction of HO. Phosphate group-labeled aptamer could capture PdPt@PCN-224 by Zr-O-P bonds to form PdPt@PCN-224-P-Apt.

A smartphone-based electrochemical POCT for CEA based on signal amplification of ZrMOFs.

Carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) is a biomarker of high expression in cancer cells. Highly sensitive and selective detection of CEA holds significant clinical value in the diagnosis, monitoring and efficacy evaluation of malignant tumors. In this work, a smartphone-based electrochemical point-of-care testing (POCT) platform for the detection of CEA was developed based on a ZrMOF signal amplification strategy.

A label-free electrochemical aptasensor based on Bi-Sb alloy materials for potential POCT of HER-2.

As a prognostic biomarker for breast cancer, human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER-2) is of crucial diagnostic value. Here, a label-free electrochemical aptasensor was established for the ultrasensitive detection of HER-2 using a modified electrode of Bi-Sb alloy materials (Bi-Sb AMs). The performance of the aptasensor was enhanced greatly due to the introduction of Bi-Sb alloy materials (Bi-Sb AMs) with high conductivity.

A new enzyme immunoassay for aconitine and its application to quantitative determination of aconitine levels in plasma.

A reliable enzyme immunoassay (EIA) method was developed for quantitative determination of aconitine with high sensitivity and specificity. The bovine serum albumin (BSA)- and beta-galactosidase (beta-Gal) conjugates as immunogens and enzyme-labeled antigens were prepared by coupling of their proteins with succinic acid (short chain length; n=2, where n represents the number of methylene units) and hexadecanedioic acid (long chain length; n=14) hemiesters of benzoylaconine through the respective N-hydroxysuccinimide esters as intermediates. Two types of the BSA-conjugates with short and long chains were repeatedly injected into rabbits to obtain anti-aconitine antisera (As1 and As2, respectively).
