Abstract
Electrochemical biosensors with high sensitivity can detect low concentrations of biomarkers, but their practical detection applications in complex biological environments such as human serum and sweat are severely limited by the biofouling. Herein, a conductive hydrogel based on bovine serum albumin (BSA) and conductive carbon black (CCB) was prepared for the construction of an antifouling biosensor. The BSA hydrogel (BSAG) was doped with CCB, and the prepared composite hydrogel exhibited good conductivity originated from the CCB and antifouling capability owing to the BSA hydrogel. An antifouling biosensor for the sensitive detection of cortisol was fabricated by drop-coating the conductive hydrogel onto a poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) (PEDOT) modified electrode and further immobilizing the cortisol aptamer. The constructed biosensor showed a linear range of 100 pg mL-1 - 10 mu g mL-1 and a limit of detection of 26.0 pg mL-1 for the detection of cortisol, and it was capable of assaying cortisol accurately in complex human serum. This strategy of preparing antifouling and conductive hydrogels provides an effective way to develop robust electrochemical biosensors for biomarker detection in complex biological media.
