Abstract
Prevention and control of foodborne pathogens are essential for public health safety. This study integrates organic-inorganic hybrid nanocomposites, lateral flow immunochromatography, and screen-printed electrodes to develop an innovative electrochemical biosensor for detecting foodborne pathogens. Two types of organic-inorganic hybrid nanocomposites incorporated onto a conjugate pad or nitrocellulose membrane support were used. In the presence of foodborne pathogens, a sandwich immune complex structure forms on the detection line. Ferrocene within the sandwich structure is detected using differential pulse voltammetry. The biosensor specifically detects foodborne pathogens with a minimum detection limit of 25 CFU·mL−1 and a detection linear range of 102 to 108 CFU·mL−1, demonstrating excellent specificity and sensitivity. This biosensor can be integrated with smartphones, enhancing the intelligence and miniaturization of biosensors.
期刊介绍:
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.
