Au@BSA microspheres-luminol and a novel luminescent Zeolitic Imidazolate Framework were used for potential-resolved electrochemiluminescence to detect dual targets

Here, a novel electrochemiluminescence biosensor based on potential-resolved strategy was firstly prepared for the detection of dual targets α2,3-sialylated glycans and α2,6-sialylated glycans. This is the first time that [email protected] microsphere was used to connect with luminol to enhance its ECL intensity, and it can generate ECL signals at positive potential. Zeolitic Imidazolate Framework-8 (ZIF-8) and Meso-tetra (4-carboxyphenyl) porphyrin (TCPP) were linked using a one-pot method to synthesize a novel luminescent ZIF (L-ZIF) named TZZ, which can emit ECL signals at negative potential. Moreover, magnetite microspheres were used to construct a sandwich-type biosensor to obtain higher sensitivity and reduce background signals. In addition, the biosensor manufactured directly in solution have a wider linear range than constructed on electrode because it has more available space than the electrode surface. Due to the above advantages, the prepared ECL biosensor exhibited high sensitivity, stability and broader linear range, even for practical analysis. Therefore, the prepared ECL biosensor will become a promising method for determination of α2,3-sialylated glycans and α2,6-sialylated glycans in clinical applications in the future. What is more, it provides a potential method for detection of other multi-targets.
