Abstract

A piezoelectric flow immunosensor for the rapid determination of nonylphenol in aqueous solutions was developed. An aminophenol-protein conjugate (4-AP-GA-BSA) immobilized on the presilanized surface of a silver electrode was used as a bioreceptor coating of the sensor. The effects of the nature and concentration of monoclonal and polyclonal antibodies on the analytical signal of the sensors were studied; the activity of immunoreagents was evaluated based on the binding constants K b. The cross reactions of various phenols with antibodies were studied and the cross reaction percentages were found. A procedure for the flow-injection determination of nonylphenol in liquid media was developed using a piezoelectric immunosensor as a detector. The calibration graph was linear over the concentration range 1–20 ng/mL; the detection limit for nonylphenol was 0.8 ng/mL.
