This study focuses on developing a highly sensitive immunosensor by immobilizing oxidized carbon nanohorns/Nafion/FeO@Pd nanocomposite on carbon screen-printed electrodes (SPEs) for the detection of tropomyosin (Tro-Ag). The performance of the fabricated immunosensor was investigated via electrochemiluminescence (ECL) method, resulting from the chemical reaction between tris(bipyridine)ruthenium(II) chloride ([Ru(bpy)]Cl) and tripropylamine (TPrA), and the peak intensity is recorded at 1.0 V.

Firstly, GNPs were drop-casted onto carbon working electrode. Monoclonal cTnT antibodies were then immobilized on the GNPs via physical adsorption; finally, BSA was introduced to block non-specific binding sites.

Therefore, this work reports on the development of a novel, simple, sensitive and rapid luminol-based electrochemiluminescence (ECL) technique for Sus scrofa (Porcine) DNA detection. Porcine DNA was firstly amplified using loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) method and subsequently added to luminol solution for further ECL analysis for quantification.
