    Abstract:
    The authors describe a nanocomposite that was obtained by in-situ deposition of CdS nanocrystals on mesoporous silica nanospheres (MSNs), and its use in an electrochemical immunoassay of human immunoglobulin G (HIgG). The MCN/CdS nanocomposite was covalently modified with the antibodies against HIgG and then employed in a voltammetric immunoassay at antibody-functionalized magnetic beads. Through sandwich immunoreaction, the MCN/CdS nanoprobes are quantitatively captured onto the magnetic beads where numerous Cd(II) ions are released in an acidic solution. The Cd(II) can be detected by anodic stripping voltammetry at a typical working potential of -0.78 V (vs. Ag/AgCl). In combination with the high loading of CdS on MSNs, the use of the stripping voltammetric analysis renders the method high sensitivity. A wide linear range varying from 0.01 to 100 ng mL-1 is obtained for HIgG detection with a lower detection limit at 2.9 pg mL-1. In addition, the preparation of the nanoprobe is inexpensive. The magnetic bead-based assay does not require complex manipulations. Therefore, this method is deemed to possess a wide scope in that it may be applied to other immunoassays.

It is originally poor, therefore, increasing the resolution will not solve the quality problem. We suggest that you provide us the original format. We prefer replacement figures containing vector/editable objects rather than embedded images.

Schematic presentation of the preparation of the mesoporous silica nanosphere (MSN)/CdS nanocomposite for the electrochemical immunoassay of human IgG at magnetic beads. The high decoration of CdS on MSN and the stripping voltammetric analysis of Cd(II) ions render the method high sensitivity.
