Fast screening method for molecular recognition of islet amyloid polypeptide from whole blood samples collected from diabetic patients with disposable stochastic sensors obtained by nanolayer, and nanolayer by nanolayer deposition using cold plasma

Abstract

Nanolayer and nanolayer by nanolayer deposition of nanofilms of Ag and C using cold plasma in sequences (Ag, Ag-C, Ag-Ag-C), on porous paper, were used to design three disposable stochastic sensors for the assay of amyloid polypeptide from whole blood. The nanofilms were modified with α-cyclodextrin. The test developed using the nanofilm-based disposable stochastic sensors is used for early detection of diabetes. The wider linear concentration range (1.00 × 10-6-1.00ngmL-1) and the lower limit of quantification (1.00 × 10-6ngmL-1) were obtained using the disposable stochastic sensors based on Ag-C and Ag-Ag-C, while the highest sensitivity (3.19 × 104s-1/μgmL-1) was recorded using the disposable stochastic sensor based on Ag-Ag-C. The screening methods were fully validated using whole blood samples from confirmed patients, when the recovery of the islet amyloid polypeptide was higher than 98.00%. Graphical abstract.
