  • Characterization of CSA morphology using scanning electron microscopy (SEM).
  • Construction of IgA immunosensor via covalent bonding of IgA antibodies to CSA, utilizing carboxyl groups.
  • Detection of IgA using electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS).

    • Main Results:

    • Successfully prepared a single-layered CSA with (111) plane parallel to the ITO surface.
    • CSA-modified electrodes demonstrated higher surface area and enhanced electrochemical sensitivity compared to conventional carbon electrodes.
    • The IgA immunosensor showed a wide linear response range (0.1–200 ng mL⁻¹) for IgA detection.
    • Accurate detection of IgA levels in clinical serum samples was achieved.

    Conclusions:

    • The novel CSA is a promising material for developing highly sensitive disposable electrochemical immunosensors.
    • The CSA platform enables efficient immobilization of antibodies and enhances electrochemical detection.
    • The developed IgA immunosensor demonstrates potential for clinical diagnostics with acceptable accuracy.
