Graphene oxide (GO) is a two-dimensional material with peculiar photoluminescence emission and good dispersion in water, that make it an useful platform for the development of label-free optical biosensors. In this study, a GO-porous silicon (PSi) hybrid device is realized using a covalent chemical approach in order to obtain a stable support for biosensing applications. Protein A, used as bioprobe for biosensing purposes, is covalently linked to the GO, using the functional groups on its surface, by carbodiimide chemistry. Protein A bioconjugation to GO-PSi hybrid device is investigated by atomic force microscopy (AFM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), water contact angle (WCA) measurements, Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, steady-state photoluminescence (PL), and fluorescence confocal microscopy. PSi reflectance and GO photoluminescence changes can thus be simultaneously exploited for monitoring biomolecule interactions as in a multi-parametric hybrid biosensing device.
氧化石墨烯(GO)是一种二维材料,具有独特的光致发光发射特性且在水中具有良好的分散性,这使其成为开发无标记光学生物传感器的有用平台。在本研究中,采用共价化学方法实现了一种氧化石墨烯 - 多孔硅(PSi)混合器件,以便获得用于生物传感应用的稳定支撑体。用作生物传感生物探针的蛋白A通过碳二亚胺化学方法利用其表面的官能团与氧化石墨烯共价连接。通过原子力显微镜(AFM)、扫描电子显微镜(SEM)、水接触角(WCA)测量、傅里叶变换红外(FTIR)光谱、稳态光致发光(PL)和荧光共聚焦显微镜研究蛋白A与氧化石墨烯 - 多孔硅混合器件的生物共轭。因此,如在多参数混合生物传感器件中一样,PSi反射率和GO光致发光变化可同时用于监测生物分子相互作用。
