摘要

A novel ultra-sensitive enzyme-free sandwich-like electrochemical immunosensor was fabricated based on hierarchical AuPd nanochain networks (NCNB). The architectures were firstly synthesized by a single-step seedless aqueous method with theophylline-7-acetic acid (T7AA) as a new capping agent. The obtained AuPd NCNB were used for the antibody immobilization and signal amplification. The immunosensor for carbohydrate antigen 15-3 had a good linearity within the concentration range from 0.001 pgmL(-1) to 100 ngmL(-1), with the low detection limit of 0.35 fg mL(-1) (S/N = 3). It showed good reproducibility, high sensitivity and stability, which provided a promising platform for the clinical immunoassay of carbohydrate antigen 15-3.
