An early diagnosis of cardiovascular disease is of great
importance
to patients. Herein, a sandwich-type immunosensor for the detection
of cardiac troponin I (cTnI) is prepared by using gold nanoparticles
(Au NPs) and a composite (CuPtRh CNBs/NH2–Ti3C2) of trimetallic hollow CuPtRh cubic nanobox
(CNB)-embedded few-layer ultrathin ammoniated MXene (NH2–Ti3C2). The embedding of the CuPtRh
CNBs into NH2–Ti3C2 successfully
prevents the restacking of NH2–Ti3C2 and offers more active sites for catalytic H2O2 reduction, which can effectively increase the current signal
of the immunosensor. The designed sandwich-type electrochemical immunosensor
for detection cTnI has a detection range of 25 fg mL–1 to 100 ng mL–1, and the detection limit is 8.3
fg mL–1 (S/N = 3). Moreover, the immunosensor also
demonstrates high sensitivity, acceptable reproducibility, and good
stability. More importantly, the designed system offers a direction
for early clinical testing of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
