摘要

A novel protein immobilization approach for piezoelectric immunosensors has been proposed, which is based on the self-assembled membrane (SAM) of mercapto-poly (allylamine hydrochloride) (PAH) formed by coupling mercaptopropionic acid (MPA) to PAH via 1-ethyl-3-(3-dimethylamino-propl) carbodiimide (EDC) and N-hydroxysuccinimide (NHS). After self-assembling a mercapto-PAH SAM on the gold electrode of the quartz crystal, the goat-anti-IgM antibody is immobilized via cross-linking with glutaraldehyde. Comparing with the MPA SAM method, this new approach shows greater frequency response and higher sensitivity. The detecting linear range of the piezoelectric immunosensor employing mercapto-PAH SAM is 0. 66 similar to 26. 4 mg/L, and that of the immunosensor employing MPA SAM is 2.2 similar to 24.2 mg/L.
