Background:
In response to the urgent need for highly sensitive and rapid combined detection of multiple tumor markers for the early diagnosis of colorectal cancer, this work innovatively constructs a magnetically-driven chemiluminescence (CL) immunosensing platform (CoFe2O4@ZIF-8/luminol-Au NPs).
Results:
CoFe2O4 NPs were firstly aminated via solvothermal method and lysine modification to provide specific binding sites. ZIF-8 was then grown in situ to form a core-shell structure with high specific surface area for efficient luminol loading. Finally, Au NPs were generated in situ within ZIF-8, simultaneously immobilizing luminol to form composite signal units. This design integrates magnetic separation, confinement effects, and signal amplification, generating an ideal microenvironment for enhanced CL reactions. The label-free CL immunoassay achieves an impressive limit of detection (LOD) of 22 fg/mL for CEA and 5.4 fg/mL for CA199, with broad linear ranges spanning over 5 orders of magnitude. The entire detection process is completed within 30 min, and the analysis of real serum samples demonstrates good recoveries.

Colors and Magnetism
When atoms or molecules absorb light at the proper frequency, their electrons are excited to higher-energy orbitals. For many main group atoms and molecules, the absorbed photons are in the ultraviolet range of the electromagnetic spectrum, which cannot be detected by the human eye. For coordination compounds, the energy difference between the d orbitals often allows photons in the visible range to be absorbed and emitted, which is seen as colors by the human...
