Abstract
A highly responsive and specific electrochemical biosensor utilizing Ag-Au bimetallic nanoparticles was engineered for the measurement of B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP), serving as an indicator for heart failure. The sensor was fabricated by modifying a glassy carbon electrode with Ag-Au bimetallic nanoparticles (average diameter: 20 ± 3 nm) and immobilizing anti-BNP antibodies. The sensor exhibited a wide linear range (0.0001–100 ng/mL), low limit of detection (0.03 pg/mL), and excellent specificity towards BNP, with minimal interference from other proteins (< 5 %). The practicality of the sensor was demonstrated by analyzing spiked serum samples, with recoveries ranging from 96.4 % to 103.5 % and relative standard deviations less than 4.5 %. The superior analytical property of the sensor is due to the synergistic effect of Ag and Au in enhancing electron transfer and antigen-antibody binding. The suggested biosensor holds significant promise for the early detection and monitoring of heart failure in medical environments.
