Abstract
Cross-reactive sensor arrays are useful for discriminating multiple analytes in a complex sample. Herein, a portable and label-free gas pressure sensor array was proposed for multiplex analysis via a handheld gas pressure meter. It is based on the interaction diversity of analytes with catalase-like nanomaterials, including Pt nanoparticles (PtNP), Co3O4 nanosheets (Co3O4NS), and Pt-Co alloy nanosheets (PtCoNS), respectively. Thus, the diverse influence of analytes on the catalase-like activity could be output as the difference in the gas pressure. By using principal component analysis, eight proteins were well distinguished by the gas pressure sensor array at the 10 nM level within 12 min. Moreover, different concentrations of proteins and mixtures of proteins could likewise be discriminated. More importantly, the effective discrimination of proteins in human serum and discrimination of five kinds of cells further confirmed the potential of the gas pressure sensor array. Therefore, it provides a portable, cheap, sensitive, and label-free gas pressure sensor array, which is totally different from the reported sensor arrays and holds great potential for portable and cheap discrimination of multiple analytes.
