Abstract
Carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) is a broad-spectrum biomarker, and its accurate detection and analysis is important for early clinical diagnosis and treatment. This study aimed to develop a highly sensitive and selective sandwich-type immunosensor based on electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) for the accurate detection of CEA. A novel composite material, gold nanoparticle/reduced-graphene oxide/graphitic carbon nitride (AuNPs/rGO/g-C3N4), was synthesized with excellent electrical conductivity and a large specific surface area to immobilize biological probes. And ab1-CEA-ab2 formed a sandwich structure of ‘antibody-antigen-antibody’, which ensured the high selectivity of the biosensor. Furthermore, the introduction of caprolactone polymer (DMPA-PCL) significantly amplifies the impedance signal and improves the sensitivity of the analytical method. Scanning electron microscopy, x-ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, and ultraviolet–visible spectrophotometry were used to characterise the prepared AuNPs/rGO/g-C3N4 and DMPA-PCL. Under the optimal conditions, the sensor showed good analytical performance for the detection of CEA with a linear range of 100 fg mL−1–100 ng mL−1 and a detection limit of 83.2 fg mL−1. And the sandwich-type immunosensor showed good selectivity and stability for the recognition of CEA in real samples.

An International Journal Devoted to Electrochemical Aspects of Biology and Biological Aspects of Electrochemistry
Bioelectrochemistry is an international journal devoted to electrochemical principles in biology and biological aspects of electrochemistry. It publishes experimental and theoretical papers dealing with the electrochemical aspects of:
• Electrified interfaces (electric double layers, adsorption, electron transfer, protein electrochemistry, basic principles of biosensors, biosensor interfaces and bio-nanosensor design and construction.
• Electric and magnetic field effects (field-dependent processes, field interactions with molecules, intramolecular field effects, sensory systems for electric and magnetic fields, molecular and cellular mechanisms)
• Bioenergetics and signal transduction (energy conversion, photosynthetic and visual membranes)
• Biomembranes and model membranes (thermodynamics and mechanics, membrane transport, electroporation, fusion and insertion)
• Electrochemical applications in medicine and biotechnology (drug delivery and gene transfer to cells and tissues, iontophoresis, skin electroporation, injury and repair).
• Organization and use of arrays in-vitro and in-vivo, including as part of feedback control.
• Electrochemical interrogation of biofilms as generated by microorganisms and tissue reaction associated with medical implants.
