A novel electrochemical sandwich-like immunosensor based on carboxyl TiCT MXene and rhodamine b/gold/reduced graphene oxide for .

(LM) is one of the most common food-borne pathogens and can induce a series of diseases with a high mortality rate to humans; hence, it is very necessary to develop a highly sensitive method for LM detection. Based on this need, a new sandwich-like electrochemical immunosensing platform was developed herein by preparing carboxyl TiCT MXene (C-TiCT MXene) as the sensing platform and rhodamine b/gold/reduced graphene oxide (RhB/Au/RGO) as the signal amplifier. The high conductivity and large surface area of C-TiCT MXene make it a desirable nanomaterial to fix the primary antibody of LM (PAb), while the prepared Au/RGO/RhB nanohybrid is dedicated to assembling the secondary antibody (SAb) of LM, offering an amplified response signal. Through the use of RhB molecule as the signal probe, the experiments showed that the peak currents of RhB increase along with an increase in the concentration of LM from 10 to 10 CFU mL, and an extremely low limit of detection (2 CFU mL) was obtained on the basis of the proposed immunosensing platform after optimizing various conditions. Hence, it is confirmed that the developed sandwich-like immunosensor based on C-TiCT MXene and RhB/Au/Gr has great application in the detection of LM and other analytes.
