Electrochemical magnetoimmunosensing strategy for the detection of pesticides residues
2006
A novel electrochemical immunosensing strategy for the detection of atrazine based on magnetic beads is presented. Different coupling strategies for the modification of the magnetic beads with the specific anti-atrazine antibody have been developed. The immunological reaction for the detection of atrazine performed on the magnetic bead is based on a direct competitive assay using a peroxidase (HRP) tracer as the enzymatic label. After the immunochemical reactions, the modified magnetic beads can be easily captured by a magnetosensor made of graphite−epoxy composite, which is also used as the transducer for the electrochemical immunosensing. The electrochemical detection is thus achieved through a suitable substrate and mediator for the enzyme HRP. The electrochemical approach is also compared with a novel magneto-ELISA based on optical detection. The performance of the electrochemical immunosensing strategy based on magnetic beads was successfully evaluated using spiked real orange juice samples. The dete...
