Abstract
This study prepared a novel, portable and cost-effective microfluidic paper-based electrochemical analysis device (μ-PAD) using black phosphorus nanosheets@carboxylated multi-walled carbon nanotubes (BPNSs@MWCNTs-COOH) nanocomposites for β-lactoglobulin (β-LG) detection. At the appreciate ratio, the synthesized BPNSs@MWCNTs-COOH was demonstrated to not only serve as a high-quality substrate for the specific aptamer immobilization, but also improve the electron transfer capability of the sensing interface. The μ-PADs, utilizing BPNSs@MWCNTs-COOH and aptamer recognition, exhibited a wider detection range (10–1000 ng mL−1) and lower detection limit (LOD: 0.12 ng mL−1) for β-LG, and demonstrated enhanced specificity, satisfactory anti-interference ability and stability. When applied to the β-LG determination in dairy samples, the μ-PAD yielded β-LG concentrations highly correlated with those obtained using the HPLC method (R2: 0.9982). These results emphasized the reliable performance of the developed μ-PADs in β-LG allergen quantification, highlighting their potential as an efficient platform for the rapid screening of β-LG allergens.
