    Abstract:
    A highly sensitive ionic liquid-multiwall carbon nanotube based impedimetric immunosensor modified with gold nanoparticles (GNPs) was developed for the determination of human serum albumin (HSA). The antigen and antibody models used were HSA and activated anti-HSA, respectively. GNPs were electrodeposited on the multiwall based carbon ionic liquid electrode (MW-CILE) surface and then colloidal GNPs were coated through the thiol groups of 1,6-hexanedithiol (HDT) monolayer as a cross linker. Cyclic voltammetry (CV) and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) were employed for characterization of the various layers coated onto the electrode. The electron transfer resistance (Ret) of the antibody-modified electrode changed linearly with the concentration of HSA. The linear range and limit of detection were 0.1-100μgmL(-1) and 15.4ngmL(-1), respectively. The sensitivity and specificity of the immunosensor were validated using human urine and human serum samples. The results showed that the prepared immunosensor is a useful tool for screening trace amounts of HSA in the biological fluids of proteinuria and diabetics patients, in clinical laboratories.
