A ratiometric molecular imprinted electrochemiluminescence sensor based on enhanced luminescence of CdSe@ZnS quantum dots by MXene@NaAsc for detecting uric acid

Bioelectrochemistry. 2023 Nov 21;156:108610. doi: 10.1016/j.bioelechem.2023.108610. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTAn unlabeled ratiometric molecular imprinted electrochemiluminescence sensor was developed for the determination of trace uric acid, based on MXene@NaAsc nanocomposites, CdSe@ZnS quantum dots and molecularly imprinted polymer composites modified glass carbon electrode. MXene@NaAsc stably enhanced the electron transfer and improved electrochemiluminescence intensity by acting as a base platform and signal amplifier for CdSe@ZnS quantum dots. Specific molecular imprinting cavities based on electropolymerization with o-phenylenediamine were formed to specifically identify uric acid. Combining the good sensitivity of electrochemiluminescence and the excellent selectivity of molecularly imprinted polymer, the ratio of optical signal and electrical signal was used as a comprehensive signal to achieve the detection of uric acid. Based on this, uric acid was detected in the range from 1 × 10-10 to 1 × 10-4 mol/L with the LOD of 18.13 pmol/L (S/N = 3). The developed sensor with easy preparation, great selectivity and excellent sensitivity could successfully detect uric acid in human serum.PMID:38000205 | DOI:10.1016/j.bioelechem.2023.108610
