In this study, electrochemical nanosensors were developed from the synthesized metal oxide (MO) nanoparticles by supporting it on a gold electrode (Au). The activity of the developed nanosensor toward the detection of malaria biomarker (β-hematin) was determined and the optimum conditions at which the maximum detection and quantification occurred were established. β-Hematin current response at the sensors was higher when compared with the bare Au electrode and followed the order Au-CuO (C) > Au-CuO (M) > Au-FeO3 (M) > Au-FeO3 (C) > Au-AlO3 (M) > Au-AlO3 (C) > bare Au. The developed sensors were stable with a relatively low current drop (10.61-17.35 %) in the analyte. Au-CuO sensor had the best performance toward the biomarker and quantitatively detected in infected mice's serum samples at 3.60-4.8 mM and in human blood serum samples at 0.65-1.35 mM concentration.
在本研究中,通过将合成的金属氧化物(MO)纳米颗粒负载在金电极(Au)上,开发了电化学纳米传感器。测定了所开发的纳米传感器对疟疾生物标志物(β-血红素)的检测活性,并确定了实现最大检测和定量的最佳条件。与裸金电极相比,传感器上的β-血红素电流响应更高,顺序为Au-CuO(C)>Au-CuO(M)>Au-FeO3(M)>Au-FeO3(C)>Au-AlO3(M)>Au-AlO3(C)>裸Au。所开发的传感器具有稳定性,在分析物中的电流下降相对较低(10.61-17.35%)。Au-CuO传感器对生物标志物具有最佳性能,能够在感染小鼠血清样本中以3.60-4.8 mM的浓度以及在人血清样本中以0.65-1.35 mM的浓度进行定量检测。
