Gold-decorated MOF/carbon Nanotube Ternary Hybrid as a Sensitive Electrochemical Biosensor for Staphylococcus Aureus
摘要
Pathogenic infections, particularly foodborne diseases have emerged as a growing concern globally. Gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) immobilized zirconium metal-organic framework/multi-walled carbon nanotube (Au@Zr-BDC/MWCNT) ternary composite as a sensing platform for the accurate identification of staphylococcus aureus (SPA). Citrate-capped AuNPs were self-assembled onto the Zr-BDC/MWCNT surface, and EDC/NHS chemistry was employed to covalently bridge antibody to the Au@Zr-BDC/MWCNT surface. Comprehensive characterizations of the as-synthesized materials were conducted using various analytical techniques. Transmission electron microscopic images showed that the Zr-MOF particles with a mean diameter of around 90 nm were dispersed on the MWCNT surface. The developed Au@Zr-BDC/MWCNT immune-sensing platform demonstrated exceptional specificity toward SPAwith a detecting concentration ranging from 6.0 to 6.5 × 106CFU/mL with a detection limit of 4 CFU/mL. The developed immunosensor illustrated on-site detection of SPA in milk samples and exhibited rapid response, selectivity, and easy operation.
