Determination of bio-material by using enzyme, fluorophore or metal-nanoparticles as markers is very important. Generally, gold-nanoparticles have been used frequently as marker for increasing the sensitivity in bio-chemical assay.
In this research, gold-nanoparticles were used as marker for immunoassay, DNA sequence assay, and protein analysis. However, the size of gold-nanoparticles affects directly the results of electrochemical detection. For improving the sensitivity of electrochemical method, enlargement of gold-nanoparticles was used in this study. By electroless deposition, Au will be deposited on the surface of gold-nanoparticles. The electrochemical response will thus be increased substantially.
In immunoassay and DNA sequence assay, traditional 96-wells microtiter plate was used for immobilizing antibody or oligonucleotide, and the gold-nanoparticles were marked subsequently base on the immunoreaction or protein reaction of streptavidin and biotin. After gold-nanoparticles were enlarged, they were dissolved and transferred to an electrochemical cell for square wave stripping voltammetry¡]SWSV¡^analysis. Under optimal experimental condition, dynamic range of 1 ~ 500 pg/mL and 0.52 ~ 1300 aM were found respectively for RIgG and Target DNA analysis, and a good linear relationship¡]R2 = 0.9975 and 0.9982¡^. The relative standard deviation¡]R.S.D.¡^ of blank were 2.8 % and 2.4 %¡]n = 11¡^for immunoassay and DNA assay, respectively. And the variance was 2.4 %¡]n = 9¡^and 2.4 %¡]n = 12¡^for immunoassay and DNA assay, respectively. The detection limit¡]based on S/N = 3¡^of RIgG and DNA were 0.25 pg/mL and 0.52 aM, respectively. They are very competitive compared with similar results reported in the literature.
Additional, a gold nanoelectrode ensemble¡]GNEE¡^coupled microchip system was developed for bio-electrochemical analysis. Due to the difference in mobility of urea and urease were mixed and allowed the enzymatic reaction to proceed in microchannel. The enzymatic product NH4+ was determined by the coupled GNEE at the outlet of the channel. Another experiment of streptavidin conjugated gold-nanoparticles¡]streptavidin-Au¡^, reductant and gold-ion¡]Au3+¡^solution was be applied here, too. The product, NH4+ or Au3+ was passed through downstream of microchannel and detected by GNEE of electrochemical system. Satisfactory linear relationship¡]R2 = 0.9778 and 0.9657¡^were found from 0.1 mM to 50 mM for NH4+ and urea in the range of 0.02 mM to 5.0 mM, respectively. The other satisfactory linear relationship¡]R2 = 0.9842 and 0.9507¡^ were found between 3.75 mg/mL and 3.75 g/mL for Au3+ and streptavidin-Au in the range of 0.2 ng/mL to 100 ng/mL, respectively. Variances of 2.5 %¡]n = 6¡^was found for analysis of with the microchip system.
