Area of Science:

  • Analytical Chemistry
  • Biomedical Engineering
  • Biosensing Technology

Background:

  • Homogeneous immunoassays offer advantages in speed and simplicity over heterogeneous methods.
  • Electrochemical luminescence (ECL) is a sensitive detection technique, but its application in homogeneous immunoassays requires specific strategies.
  • Pyrene-based labels and luminol have been explored for ECL-based detection.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a novel optical biosensor for homogeneous immunoassay.
  • To investigate the inhibition of pyrene-labeled antigen's ECL upon immunochemical complexation.
  • To establish an ECL-based homogeneous immunoassay for human serum albumin (HSA) detection.

Main Methods:

  • Development of an optical biosensor utilizing a platinum plate electrode near an optical fiber tip.
  • Fabrication of a transparent platinum film on an optical fiber to create an optical fiber electrode for improved ECL measurement.
  • Application of pyrene-labeled antigen and luminol as labels for homogeneous immunoassay.

Main Results:

  • Demonstrated significant inhibition of pyrene-labeled antigen's ECL upon immunochemical complexation.
  • Successfully performed homogeneous immunoassay for human serum albumin (HSA) in the concentration range of 3-25 x 10(-6) mol/l.
  • Achieved a minimum detectable limit of 10(-11) mol/l for luminol using the developed optical fiber electrode.

Conclusions:

  • The developed optical biosensor based on ECL inhibition is effective for homogeneous immunoassays.
  • The novel optical fiber electrode enhances ECL measurement sensitivity and performance.
  • This approach provides a sensitive and efficient method for detecting analytes like HSA.
