Area of Science:

  • Electrochemistry
  • Biosensors
  • Immunotechnology

Background:

  • Ferritin is a key biomarker in various clinical conditions, necessitating accurate and sensitive detection methods.
  • Current ferritin assays may have limitations in terms of speed, cost, or sensitivity.
  • Electrochemical immunosensors offer a promising platform for sensitive and rapid biomarker detection.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and characterize a novel electrochemical immunosensor for the quantitative determination of ferritin in serum.
  • To optimize the immunosensor's performance by investigating key parameters such as antibody loading and incubation conditions.
  • To evaluate the analytical performance and stability of the proposed immunosensor for potential clinical applications.

Main Methods:

  • Immobilization of ferritin antibody (FeAb) onto a glassy carbon electrode (GCE) using an agarose hydrogel matrix.
  • Characterization of the electrode modification using electrochemical techniques like cyclic voltammetry (CV) and differential pulse voltammetry (DPV).
  • Optimization of incubation time, temperature, and FeAb concentration to achieve optimal analytical performance.

    • Main Results:

    • The developed immunosensor demonstrated biological activity of the immobilized FeAb.
    • Achieved a low detection limit for ferritin of 1.5 x 10(-5) g/L within a linear range of 5-50 x 10(-5) g/L (R=0.996).
    • Exhibited acceptable storage stability in pH 7.0 PBS at 4°C for 10 days.

    Conclusions:

    • The proposed electrochemical immunosensor provides a sensitive, stable, and promising new method for the clinical immunoassay of ferritin.
    • The agarose hydrogel-based immobilization strategy enhances the performance of the immunosensor.
    • This approach holds potential for advancing rapid and reliable ferritin diagnostics in healthcare settings.
