    Abstract:
    A new impedimetric immunosensor for the fast determination of ochratoxin A (OTA) in food samples was developed based on the instant catalyst as enhancer. Initially, the signal tags were prepared via co-immobilization of anti-OTA antibody and amine-terminated dendrimer (PAMAM) on the graphene oxide nanosheets through the covalent interaction, which were utilized as a good platform for combining manganese ion (anti-OTA-GO-PAMAM-Mn(2+)). Upon target OTA introduction, a competitive-type immunoreaction was implemented between the analyte and the immobilized OTA-BSA on the electrode for the anti-OTA antibody on the graphene oxide nanosheets labels. After a competitive immunoassay format, the anti-OTA-GO-PAMAM-Mn(2+) were captured onto the electrode surface, which could induce the in situ formation of MnO2via classical redox reaction between Mn(2+) and KMnO4 on the immunesensing platform. Moreover, the generated MnO2 nanoparticles act as efficient catalyst could catalyze the 4-chloro-1-naphthol (4-CN) oxidation without H2O2 to generate an insoluble precipitation on the platform. Under the optimal conditions, the instant catalyst based impedimetric immunosensor displayed a wide dynamic working range between 0.1pgmL(-1) and 30ngmL(-1). The detection limit (LOD) of the assay was 0.055pgmL(-1). The developed method exhibited high selectivity and can be used for the determination of OTA in real red wine samples.
