Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application belongs to the field of analytical technology methods, and relates to a preparation method of a low-potential near-infrared electrochemiluminescence immunosensor taking tert-butylamine-borane as a co-reactant. BACKGROUND

[0002] At present, most of the electrochemiluminescence biochemical analysis and clinical diagnosis adopt ruthenium bipyridine as a marker, and the electrochemiluminescence radiation potential thereof is about 1.2 V. Traditional co-reactants mainly include tripropylamine, oxalate, and persulfate. Liu et al. studied the anodic electrochemiluminescence of Ru(bpy)3 2+ / 2-N-dibutylaminoethanol as a co-reactant. However, the oxidation potential of tripropylamine and 2-N-dibutylaminoethanol is relatively high, and there is strong electrochemical interference in a relatively wide potential window, which is not conducive to the stability of the electrode and the detection of biochemical reagents. Therefore, it is crucial to develop an electrochemiluminescence system with a lower radiation potential.

[0003] A broad-spectrum low-potential electrochemiluminescence system and a construction method thereof are disclosed in Chinese patent document CN111139066B. Fu et al. disclosed a low-potential electrochemiluminescence system taking hydrazine hydrate as a co-reactant and copper indium sulfide as a luminescent substance (Anal. Chem. 2019, 91, 10221). However, hydrazine hydrate has relatively high biological toxicity, and the electrochemiluminescence intensity of the carbonyl hydrazine system is much lower than that of the electrochemiluminescence radiation intensity of the hydrazine hydrate system.

[0004] At present, there are few low-potential electrochemiluminescence systems, and the electrochemiluminescence efficiency of the existing low-potential co-reactant system is low, and the co-reactant is toxic. Therefore, it is urgent to develop a low-potential electrochemiluminescence system that can match the hydrazine hydrate system, reduce electrochemical interference, improve the electrochemiluminescence intensity of the low-potential system, and avoid the influence of high potential on biochemical substances. SUMMARY

[0005] In view of the problems of the prior art, especially the few low-potential electrochemiluminescence systems, the low electrochemiluminescence efficiency, and the toxicity of the co-reactant, the present application provides a preparation method of a low-potential near-infrared electrochemiluminescence immunosensor taking tert-butylamine-borane as a co-reactant, which takes gold nanoclusters as a marker and tert-butylamine-borane as a co-reactant. The electrochemiluminescence potential of the immunosensor is located at 0.57 V, which can match the low-potential electrochemiluminescence system of the hydrazine hydrate system, and is safe and non-toxic.
