The application discloses an electrochemical
aptamer sensor for high-sensitivity detection of alpha-amatoxin and a preparation method and application thereof, and belongs to the technical field of
electrochemical detection. The
working electrode of the sensor is a
glassy carbon electrode, gold nanocrystals are used to modify the
electrode first, then aptamers are connected to the gold nanocrystals through gold-
sulfur bonds, and the remaining active sites are closed by using mercaptohexanol. The electrochemical
aptamer sensor has
high selectivity and sensitivity for alpha-amatoxin, and has the advantages of
simple sample pretreatment steps, rapidness and convenience. The detection result of an actual human sample is satisfactory. The electrochemical
aptamer sensor prepared by the application has been successfully applied to the detection of alpha-amatoxin in human
urine, and has the advantages of extremely low
detection limit, wide detection range, excellent selectivity and stability.
