This article explains a step-wise protocol to develop an electrochemical sensor to quantify serum levels of C-telopeptide (CTX) crosslinks also known as crosslaps in a matter of minutes and with high level of accuracy. The technique needs only one-step (incubation) and can thus be used for point of care screening. Due to the excellent electrical properties of the as-prepared immunosensor, CTX levels were successfully measured from 1 to 1000 pg/mL. This is while the normal reference of the marker is 50-450 pg/mL, suggesting that the sensor can acceptably detect CTX. The results also showed a good correlation with ECLIA in measuring serum levels of CTX.
本文介绍了一种逐步方案,用于开发一种电化学传感器,以便在几分钟内以高精度定量检测血清中C-末端肽(CTX)交联物(也称为交联环)的水平。该技术仅需一步(孵育),因此可用于即时检测筛查。由于所制备的免疫传感器具有优异的电学性能,成功测量了1至1000 pg/mL的CTX水平。而该标志物的正常参考值为50 - 450 pg/mL,这表明该传感器能够令人满意地检测CTX。结果还显示,在测量血清CTX水平方面,该传感器与电化学发光免疫分析(ECLIA)具有良好的相关性。
