Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the field of analytical technology methods and relates to a method for preparing a low-potential near-infrared electrochemical luminescence immunosensor using tert-butylamine-borane as a coreactant. Background Art

[0002] At present, most electrochemiluminescence biochemical analysis and clinical diagnosis use ruthenium bipyridine as a marker, and the potential of its electrochemiluminescence radiation is about 1.2 V. Traditional co-reactants are mainly tripropylamine, oxalate, persulfate, etc. Liu et al. used 2-N-dibutylaminoethanol as a co-reactant to study Ru(bpy)3 2+ / 2-N-dibutylaminoethanol's anodic electrochemiluminescence. However, the oxidation potentials of tripropylamine and 2-N-dibutylaminoethanol are both high, and there is strong electrochemical interference in the measurement within a wide potential window, which is not conducive to electrode stability and detection of biochemical reagents, because the development of an electrochemiluminescence system with a lower radiation potential is crucial.

[0003] Chinese patent document CN111139066B discloses a broad-spectrum low-potential electrochemiluminescence system and its construction method. Fu et al. disclosed a low-potential electrochemiluminescence system with hydrazine hydrate as a co-reactant and copper indium sulfur as a luminescent substance (Anal. Chem. 2019, 91, 10221). However, hydrazine hydrate has high biological toxicity, and the electrochemiluminescence intensity of the carbohydrazide system is much lower than the electrochemiluminescence radiation intensity of the hydrazine hydrate system.

[0004] Currently, there are few low-potential electrochemiluminescence systems, and the electrochemiluminescence efficiency of existing low-potential co-reactant systems is low, and the co-reactants are toxic. There is an urgent need to develop a low-potential electrochemiluminescence system that can be comparable to the hydrazine hydrate system, which can reduce electrochemical interference, increase the electrochemiluminescence intensity of the low-potential system, and avoid the influence of high potential on biochemical substances. Summary of the invention

[0005] In view of the shortcomings of the prior art, especially the problems of few low-potential electrochemiluminescence systems, low electrochemiluminescence efficiency and toxicity of co-reactants, the present invention uses gold nanoclusters as markers and tert-butylamine-borane as a co-reactant to provide a method for preparing a low-potential near-infrared electrochemiluminescence immunosensor using tert-butylamine-borane as a co-reactant. The electrochemiluminescence potential of the immunosensor is 0.57V, which is comparable to the low-potential electrochemiluminescence system of a hydrazine hydrate system and is safe and non-toxic.

The corresponding secondary antibody was added and incubated at 37°C for 3 hours and bovine serum albumin was used for blocking. The mixture was redissolved in phosphate buffer solution and stored in a refrigerator at 4 degrees. The resulting substance was Cit / MSA@Au|Ab2.

[0066] Preparation of low potential near-infrared electrochemiluminescent immunosensor using unit biligand gold nanoclusters as markers:

[0067] (1): Treat the glassy carbon electrode and clean it. Scan 2 circles in the range of 0.4V-1.2V at a scanning speed of 10mV / S to polymerize the p-aminobenzoic acid on the surface of the glassy carbon electrode. Wash the electrode with 10mM pH 7.4 PBS to remove the unreacted p-aminobenzoic acid;
