Area of Science:

  • Electrochemistry
  • Biosensor Technology
  • Analytical Chemistry

Background:

  • Quantitative biosensors are crucial for detecting biomarkers in complex biological fluids.
  • Existing methods often face limitations in sensitivity, speed, or sample compatibility.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To introduce a novel quantitative polypyrrole-based potentiometric biosensor.
  • To demonstrate its broad-spectrum assay capability for various analytes in real-world samples.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized a polypyrrole-coated, screen-printed gold electrode for potentiometric detection.
  • Employed a 'charge-step' procedure involving enzyme-labeled immunocomplexes and secondary reactions to generate charged products.
  • Measured potential shifts at the sensor surface, correlating them to analyte concentration.

Main Results:

  • Achieved rapid detection (<15 min) with ultrasensitive performance (<50 fM) and high reproducibility (CV<5%).
  • Demonstrated a wide dynamic range (4-5 orders of magnitude) and good stability (4 months at 37°C).
  • Successfully validated in assays for Hepatitis B surface antigen, Troponin I, Digoxin, and tumor necrosis factor-alpha in serum and whole blood.

Conclusions:

  • The developed potentiometric biosensor offers a versatile, sensitive, and rapid platform for quantitative analysis of diverse analytes.
  • The technology effectively handles complex biological samples, minimizing the impact of non-specific binding.
  • The system is readily adaptable for new assay development and optimization.
