Ratiometric immunosensor with DNA tetrahedron nanostructure as high-performance carrier of reference signal and its applications in selective phoxim determination for vegetables
A ratiometric electrochemical immunosensor, based on DNA tetrahedron nanostructure (DTNS), is introduced for vegetable phoxim determination. DTNS spontaneously adheres onto gold-nanoparticle-modified electrode and forms stable three-dimensional structure, providing plenty of binding sites to the built-in reference, methylene blue (MB). Monoclonal antibody (m-Ab) is vertically linked onto DTNS vertex, selectively responses antigenic phoxim, and promotes the target signal of I PHO . Thus, a ratiometric indicator, I PHO / I MB , is sensibly established with the target signal ( I PHO ) and the reference signal ( I MB ). Modifications, mechanisms and advances of the proposed method are subsequently examined with morphological methods and electrochemical experiments. This method brings considerable advances in analytical behaviors. The ratiometric signal presents better performance than solo system in repeatability and long-time stability. As-fabricated sensor presents wide dynamic range as 0.1∼30 μg/L, and limit of detection is well defined as 0.003 μg/L (S/N = 3). Finally, this method is verified with real-vegetable-sample analysis, certified HPLC and recovery test.
