Paper-Based Bipolar Electrode Electrochemiluminescence Platform Combined with Pencil-Drawing Trace for the Detection of M.SssI Methyltransferase

Abstract

Herein, a hand-drawing paper-based bipolar electrode (BPE) electrochemiluminescence (ECL) platform for M.SssI methyltransferase (M.SssI MTase) assay was proposed via employing high electrocatalytic Pt@CeO2 as an ECL co-reaction accelerator and pencil-drawing graphite electric circuits as wires and electrodes. Notably, the introduction of pencil-drawing trace not only simplified the manufacturing process but also reduced the cost and saved fabricating time. Meanwhile, Pt@CeO2 with good electrocatalytic activity and satisfactory chemical stability was used at the anode of the closed BPE-ECL device to accelerate the oxidation rate of uric acid. Due to the balanced charges of the bipolar electrode, the ECL response of the MnS: CdS@ZnS/S2O8 2– system emitted on the cathode was enhanced. In situ growth of gold nanoparticles in the two electrode areas was convenient for DNA immobilization. With the above points in mind, the specific DNA double strands functionalized via Pt@CeO2 were employed to identify M.SssI MTase. The unmethylated DNA double strands were cut by HpaII endonuclease, resulting in the quenching of the ECL signal. Under the optimal conditions, sensitive detection of M.SssI MTase in a wide linear range of 0.01–100 U·mL–1 with a satisfactory detection limit of 0.008 U·mL–1 was realized. The reliable and versatile BPE-ECL tool for the determination of M.SssI MTase with easy-to-operate pencil-drawing traces and independent solution systems provides a new opportunity to develop paper-based devices applied in early disease diagnosis and pathogenesis research.

Simple immunosensor for ultrasensitive electrochemical determination of biomarker of the bone metabolism in human serum

“…The detection linear range is wider than that obtained using IOM/ IDE, EA/1,4-BED/6-MCH/AuE, and AuNPs/AuE mentioned earlier. In comparison with other detection strategies (e.g., electrochemiluminescence), the electrochemical sensor has the advantages of simple instrumentation, easy operation, and the potential for the detection of colored or opaque samples (Zhang et al, 2020;Zhu et al, 2022).…”

“…These detection strategies usually suffer from expensive instruments, special reagents, and skilled operations. In comparison with other detection strategies (for example, optical technology) ( Zhang et al, 2020 ; Zhao et al, 2020 ; Deng et al, 2021 ; Wan et al, 2021 ; Zhu et al, 2022a ), electrochemical sensing has attracted extensive attention because of its fast detection speed, a simple instrument, easy integration, and miniaturization ( Asif et al, 2018 ; Ashraf et al, 2019 ; Aziz et al, 2019 ; Liu et al, 2020 ; Ashraf et al, 2021a ; Ashraf et al, 2021b ; Deng et al, 2021 ; Zhang et al, 2022a ; Zhu et al, 2022b ; Wei et al, 2022 ; Zhong et al, 2022 ; Zhou et al, 2022 ). The development of a novel electrochemical immunosensor for simple and highly sensitive detection of CEA is of great significance.…”
