Sumario:Jianmeng Zhu,1 Zhilu Ye,1 Xiaoying Fan,1 Hongqin Wang,1 Zhen Wang,1,2 Bingyu Chen1,2 1Department of Clinical Laboratory, Chun’an First People’s Hospital (Zhejiang Provincial People’s Hospital Chun’an Branch), Hangzhou, Zhejiang, China; 2Department of Blood Transfusion, Zhejiang Provincial People’s Hospital, People’s Hospital of Hangzhou Medical College, Hangzhou, Zhejiang, China Objective: This study aimed to construct a biosensor using Au nanoparticles (Au NPs) and reduced graphene-polyamide-amine-ferrocene (rGO-PAMAM-Fc) nanomaterials designed for rapid and sensitive detection of cholesterol.Materials and methods: In this study, a highly sensitive biosensor based on Au NPs/rGO-PAMAM-Fc nanomaterials was manufactured for detection of cholesterol. The rGO-PAMAM-Fc and Au NPs were modified on the surface of the electrode and then coated with cholesterol oxidase (ChOx) and cholesterol esterase (ChEt) to develop the ChOx&ChEt/Au NPs/rGO-PAMAM-Fc biosensor.Results: The capability of rGO-PAMAM-Fc nanomaterials in fabricating a more efficient biosensor was validated through stability, selectivity and reproducibility checks. Under optimal conditions, the newly developed biosensor showed a linear relationship with logarithm of cholesterol concentration from 0.0004 to 15.36 mM (R2=0.9986), and a low detection limit of 2 nM was obtained at the signal/noise ratio of 3.Conclusion: The ChOx&ChEt/Au NPs/rGO-PAMAM-Fc biosensor was successfully applied for the measurement of cholesterol in human serum, which implies that the biosensor has a potential application in clinical diagnostics.
