Abstract

The real-time detection of neurotransmitters had attracted more attention due to the potential to provide vital information for pathology research, disease diagnosis, and clinical efficacy evaluation. Here, a magnetic-mediated nano sensor was developed to improve sensitivity for detection of serotonin (5-HT). The PDMS membrane doped with magnetic particles serves as a conversion element, enhancing the deformation of the thin film caused by surface stress under the action of a magnetic field and amplifying the resistance response signal of the nano sensor. The 5-HT detection associated with neurotransmitter diseases serve as a proof of concept revealing the magnetic sensitization. The detection limit of the 5-HT was decreased to 3.21 nM in the linear range of 5–500 nM, which was lower than that of the nano sensor without magnetic field. The clinical 5-HT samples were also been accurately detected, indicating a positive application potential of the as-prepared magnetic-mediated nano sensor. All these results reveal the high sensitivity and practicality of the as-prepared magnetic-mediated nano sensor and provide a new method for neurotransmitter diseases diagnosis.
