The preparation and characteristics of a disposable amperometric magnetoimmunosensor, based on the use of functionalized magnetic beads (MBs) and gold screen-printed electrodes (Au/SPEs), for the specific detection and quantification of Staphylococcal protein A (ProtA) and Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) is reported. An antiProtA antibody was immobilized onto ProtA-modified MBs, and a competitive immunoassay involving ProtA antigen labelled with HRP was performed. The resulting modified MBs were captured by a magnetic field on the surface of tetrathiafulvalene-modified Au/SPEs and the amperometric response obtained at -0.15 V vs the silver pseudo-reference electrode of the Au/SPEs after the addition of H2O2 was used as transduction signal. The developed methodology showed very low limits of detection (1 cfu S. aureus/mL of raw milk samples), and a good selectivity against the most commonly involved foodborne pathogens originating from milk. These features, together with a short analysis time (2 h), the simplicity, and easy automation and miniaturization of the required instrumentation make the developed methodology a promising alternative in the development of devices for on-site analysis.

Early detection of hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection is crucial for eliminating this silent killer, especially in resource-limited settings. HCV core antigen (HCVcAg) represents a promising alternative to the current "gold standard" HCV RNA assays as an active viremia biomarker. Herein, a highly sensitive electrochemical magneto-immunosensor for the HCVcAg was developed.

Cytokines are important factors in the early diagnosis of autoimmune diseases and require high sensitivity, high selectivity and quantitative detection. We proposed a miniaturized electrochemical magneto-immunosensor (EC-MIS) on portable interleukin-6 (IL-6) detection based on this requirement. Firstly, a micro-fabricated working electrode is electrochemically modified with a hybrid of reduced graphene oxide (rGO) and gold nanoparticles (AuNPs).

Different electrochemical strategies based on the use of magnetic beads are described in this work for the detection of human cardiac troponin I (hcTnI). hcTnI is also known as the gold standard for acute myocardial infarction (AMI) diagnosis according to the different guidelines from the European Society of Cardiology (ESC) and the American College of Cardiology (ACC). Amperometric and voltamperometric sandwich magnetoimmunoassays were developed by biofunctionalization of paramagnetic beads with specific antibodies.

An amperometric magnetoimmunosensor for the determination of human p53 protein is described in this work using a sandwich configuration involving the covalent immobilization of a specific capture antibody onto activated carboxylic-modified magnetic beads (HOOC-MBs) and incubation of the modified MBs with a mixture of the target protein and horseradish peroxidase-labeled antibody (HRP-anti-p53). The resulting modified MBs are captured by a magnet placed under the surface of a disposable carbon screen-printed electrode (SPCE) and the amperometric responses are measured at -0.20 V (vs.

A highly sensitive amperometric magnetoimmunosensor for the determination of ErbB2 protein, a well-known biomarker related to high-impact high-incidence diseases such as breast cancer, is described. A sandwich format involving the covalent immobilization of a specific capture antibody onto magnetic beads (MBs) and incubation of the modified MBs with a mixture solution of the antigen and a HRP-labeled detector antibody was used. The resulting modified MBs were captured on the surface of a disposable screen-printed carbon electrode (SPCE) and the amperometric responses at -0.
