Based
on the signal amplification elements of planar VS2/AuNPs
nanocomposites and CoFe2O4 nanozyme, we herein
developed an electrochemical biosensor for sensitive kanamycin (Kana)
quantification. A ratiometric sensing platform was presented by incorporating
VS2/AuNPs nanocomposites as a support material with excellent
conductivity and high specific surface area, as well as hairpin DNA
(hDNA) with complementary hybridization of biotinylated Kana-aptamer.
In addition, streptavidin-functionalized CoFe2O4 nanozyme with superior peroxidase-like catalytic activity were immobilized
onto the aptasensor, hence the peroxidase-like catalytic reaction
could yield amplified electrochemical signals. With the presence of
Kana, the aptamer-biorecognition resulted in a quantitative decrease
of nanozyme accumulation and an increase of methylene blue response.
Under optimal conditions, the electrochemical signal ratio of the
aptasensor revealed a linear relation along with the logarithmic concentration
of Kana from 1 pM to 1 μM, with the limit of detection reaching
to 0.5 pM. Moreover, this aptasensor exhibited excellent precision,
as well as high repeatability, hence possessing potentials in real
samples and for diverse targets detection by easy replacement of the
matched aptamer.
