Abstract
The present study is based on the design and construction of a selective label-free electrochemical aptasensor for testosterone (TST) detection in real samples. A carbon paste electrode modified with gold nanoparticles and metal-organic framework-ionic liquid (AuNPs/Fe3O4–NH2@Cu-ILCPE) was used to covalently immobilize the TST aptamer (TST-apt). The AuNPs/Fe3O4–NH2@Cu-ILCPE represents a distinguished ability for enhancement of electrochemical peak current, which may emerge from the aptamer on the electrode surface. Initially, the dependency of signals to variables like the aptamer concentration, aptamer immobilization time, AuNPs electrodeposion time, and aptamer reaction time was investigated and optimized. Under the optimized conditions, the proposed aptasensor has two linear ranges over 1.0–50.0 nM and 50.1–1000.0 nM with a limit of detection of 0.31 nM, and a limit of quantification of 0.99 nM. The aptasensor was also applicable to detecting TST in urine samples with satisfactory recoveries of 97.2–103.8 %.
期刊介绍:
The journal''s title Analytical Biochemistry: Methods in the Biological Sciences declares its broad scope: methods for the basic biological sciences that include biochemistry, molecular genetics, cell biology, proteomics, immunology, bioinformatics and wherever the frontiers of research take the field.
The emphasis is on methods from the strictly analytical to the more preparative that would include novel approaches to protein purification as well as improvements in cell and organ culture. The actual techniques are equally inclusive ranging from aptamers to zymology.
The journal has been particularly active in:
-Analytical techniques for biological molecules-
Aptamer selection and utilization-
Biosensors-
Chromatography-
Cloning, sequencing and mutagenesis-
Electrochemical methods-
Electrophoresis-
Enzyme characterization methods-
Immunological approaches-
Mass spectrometry of proteins and nucleic acids-
Metabolomics-
Nano level techniques-
Optical spectroscopy in all its forms.
The journal is reluctant to include most drug and strictly clinical studies as there are more suitable publication platforms for these types of papers.
