Abstract
Lactic acid level is a crucial biochemical indicator in the field of cancer diagnosis, anti-tumor therapy and other related biomedical areas. However, currently the method for detecting lactic acid is almost enzyme-based biosensors, while enzyme-free alternatives remain underexplored. In this work, we constructed a high-performance electrochemiluminescence (ECL) sensors based on Ti3C2 MXene/graphene nanoribbons (MXene/GNRs) composite for the enzyme-free detection of L-lactic acid. Meanwhile, we functionalize MXene/GNRs composite with the L-lactic acid aptamer through physical and chemical interactions, and with the addition of the target L-Lactic acid, the aptamer was detached from the surface of the material, thus, the biosensor was constructed with an "on-off-on" ECL signal. The biosensor designed for this work demonstrated a detection range of L-Lactic acid from 500 nM to 10 mM, and a low detection limit of 309 nM. This work exhibits superior detection performance in complex environments, and also presents a promising enzyme-free approach for L-lactic acid monitoring in biomedical applications.
期刊介绍:
Sensors and Actuators Reports is a peer-reviewed open access journal launched out from the Sensors and Actuators journal family. Sensors and Actuators Reports is dedicated to publishing new and original works in the field of all type of sensors and actuators, including bio-, chemical-, physical-, and nano- sensors and actuators, which demonstrates significant progress beyond the current state of the art. The journal regularly publishes original research papers, reviews, and short communications.
For research papers and short communications, the journal aims to publish the new and original work supported by experimental results and as such purely theoretical works are not accepted.
