Zusammenfassung: | Single polypyrrole (PPy) nanowire-based microfluidic aptasensors were fabricated using a one-step electrochemical deposition method. The successful incorporation of the aptamers into the PPy nanowire was confirmed by fluorescence microscopy image. The microfluidic aptasensor showed responses to IgE protein solutions in the range from 0.01
nM to 100
nM, and demonstrated excellent specificity and sensitivity with faster response and rapid stabilization times (∼20
s). At the lowest examined IgE concentration of 0.01
nM, the microfluidic aptasensor still exhibited ∼0.32% change in the conductance. The functionality of this aptasensor was able to be regenerated using an acid treatment with no major change in sensitivity. In addition, the detection of cancer biomarker MUC1 was performed using another microfluidic aptasensor, which showed a very low detection limit of 2.66
nM MUC1 compared to commercially available MUC1 diagnosis assay (800
nM). |
