Abstract:

A new type of “Off-On” electrochemiluminescence(ECL) biosensor using Ru(bpy)32+/β-CD-AuNPs/Nafion complex and ferrocene-labeled DNA(Fc-DNA) was designed to detect mercury ions in Chinese medicinal materials Danshen. The ECL biosensor includes an ECL substrate and an ECL signal switch. Ru(bpy)32+/β-CD-AuNPs/Nafion complex modified glassy carbon electrode was used as the ECL substrate, which could bring about a clear and stable ECL signal by Ru(bpy)32+, and hairpin-like Fc-DNA probe acted as the ECL signal switch, which was designed by molecular recognition strategy and attached to β-CD-AuNPs through host-guest interaction between β-CD and ferrocene . Compared with previous methods of mercury ion detection, this method has the advantages of convenient operation, high sensitivity, good repeatability and low detection limit. The ECL biosensor offered good linear responses for Hg2+ in the range of 0.04~800 ng/mL with a detection limit of 0.02 ng/mL(S/N=3).
