摘要

Fe3O4 @ Au nanoparticles were synthesized in this paper. The surface of nanoparticles was modified with horseradish peroxidase(HRP)-anti-E. coli antibody for amplified electrochemical immunoassay of E. coli. Poly-thionine(PTH) film was electro-polymerized on the GCE as an electron-tansfer mediator. Gold nanoparticles(GNPs) on the PTH film constructed an effective antibody immobilization matrix. Using the typical sandwich type immmunoassay, E. coli could be detected according to the H2O2 reduction currents catalyzed by HRP labeled on anti-E. coli antibody. The method allowed quantitative determination of E. coli concentration from 50 to 1 x 10(5) cfu/mL, with a detection limit of 20 cfu/mL. By introducing pre-enrichment steps, a concentration of 2 cfu/mL E. coli was detected with this method.
