Area of Science:

  • Biomedical Engineering
  • Biosensor Technology
  • Surface Chemistry

Background:

  • Immunoaffinity (IA) biosensors require stable and dense layers of biomolecules for optimal performance.
  • Current immobilization methods can compromise biomolecule integrity and surface density.
  • Developing robust immobilization techniques is crucial for advancing biosensor sensitivity and reliability.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and validate a new immobilization method for IA biosensors.
  • To ensure high surface density and stability of the immunoaffinity layer.
  • To assess the feasibility of the developed method for biosensor applications.

Main Methods:

  • Biomolecules (horseradish peroxidase and antibody) were thiolated via covalent conjugation of mercaptopropionic acid.

  • Thiolated proteins were immobilized onto a gold transducer surface.
  • Properties evaluated included biological integrity (activity assay), charge transfer resistance, mass loading (SPR), binding sites, and capacitive change.

    • Main Results:

    • The thiolation method successfully immobilized biomolecules while maintaining biological integrity.
    • Surface plasmon resonance (SPR) confirmed high mass loading and a significant number of binding sites.
    • The immobilization process demonstrated stability and feasibility for antigen-antibody interactions.

    Conclusions:

    • The developed thiolation-based immobilization method is effective for creating stable and dense immunoaffinity layers on gold surfaces.
    • This method preserves biomolecule activity and offers a high density of binding sites, suitable for IA biosensor development.
    • The technique shows significant promise for enhancing the performance and applicability of immunoaffinity biosensors.
