Abstract

We demonstrate a novel and highly sensitive electrochemical detection of estrone based on an immunosensor platform, composed of bioassembled nanocircuits of Mo6S9-xIx nanowires (MoSI NWs) covalently connected to anti-estrone antibodies. The one-step, label-free, and quantitative detection of estrone is realized by employing the [Ru(NH3)(6)](3+/2+) redox ions to sense anti-estrone antibody and estrone interactions. The MoSI NWs/anti-estrone antibody nanocircuit architectures provide an amplification and conductive pathway for the specific electrochemical sensing of estrone hapten. A detection limit of 1.4 pg.mL(-1) was achieved in contrast to previous electrochemical techniques in which the sensitivity was limited to the nanomolar range.
