A new electrochemical biosensor for cow's milk progesterone detection was developed using anti-progesterone monoclonal antibodies (mAb) on screen-printed carbon electrodes (SPCEs). This method enables rapid, sensitive progesterone quantification in milk samples.

Area of Science:

  • Electrochemistry
  • Biosensor Technology
  • Immunochemistry
  • Dairy Science

Background:

  • Progesterone is a key hormone for reproductive health monitoring in dairy cows.
  • Accurate and rapid progesterone measurement in milk is crucial for herd management.
  • Existing methods can be time-consuming or require specialized laboratory equipment.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and validate a novel electrochemical biosensor for progesterone detection in cow's milk.
  • To optimize assay conditions for sensitivity, speed, and signal-to-noise ratio.
  • To evaluate the biosensor's performance using real milk samples.

Main Methods:

  • Fabrication of single-use biosensors by immobilizing anti-progesterone monoclonal antibody (mAb) on screen-printed carbon electrodes (SPCEs).

  • Implementation of a competitive immunoassay under thin-layer, continuous-flow conditions.
  • Electrochemical detection using amperometry to measure enzyme product (1-naphthol) generated by alkaline-phosphatase-labelled progesterone (AP-prog) conjugate.

    • Main Results:

    • A linear amperometric response for the enzyme product was observed under continuous-flow conditions.
    • The biosensor achieved calibration plots over the range of 0-50 ng/ml progesterone.
    • A stop-flow arrangement improved signal-to-noise ratio, enabling detection in the 0-25 ng/ml range with 12.5% CV for real milk samples.

    Conclusions:

    • The developed electrochemical biosensor offers a sensitive and rapid method for progesterone determination in cow's milk.
    • The thin-layer, continuous-flow system, particularly with a stop-flow modification, enhances assay performance.
    • This biosensor holds potential for practical application in dairy herd reproductive management.
