Abstract:

A lable-free aptamer biosensor was fabricated with the electropolymerized poly(thionine) as a redox electrochemical probe and gold nanoparticles as the immobilization matrix for aptamer. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy was used to monitor the self-assembly process of the aptamer biosensor. The electrochemical behavior of the aptamer biosensor was studied by the cyclic voltammetry(CV) and differential pulse voltammetry(DPV). The biosensor shows a good linear range of 1.0 pg/mL—500 ng/mL for thrombin, R=0.998, with a detection limit of 0.38 pg/mL. The biosensor has simple preparation procedure, high sensitivity and strong anti-interference ability.
