Abstract
- Abstract: A label-free amperometric immunosensor for fast and sensitive assay of human serum chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) is presented. hCG was immobilized on nanoporous gold (NPG) foils and using hydroquinone (HQ) redox species as indicator. The variation of amperometric response to the concentration of hCG, the target antigen, was evaluated by cyclic voltammetry in phosphate-buffered solution. Taking advantage of dual-amplification effects of the NPG foils and graphene sheets (GSs), the immunosensor exhibited a specific response to hCG in the range of 0.5–40.00ngml−1 with a detection limit of 0.034ngml−1 under optimal conditions. It was demonstrated that our proposed method possesses good accuracy, acceptable precision, and reproducibility. The NPG showed a better sensitizing effect and stability as immobilization matrices.
