Abstract
In this paper, an aptasensor with high sensitivity and rapid response was developed for the detection of staphylococcus enterotoxin B (SEB) by using thiol-modified piezoresistive cantilever. Thiol-modified aptamers, acting as the functionalized sensing elements, were immobilized on the nanogold-coated surface of the sensing cantilever as agents for detecting SEB. By using the functionalized aptasensors, different concentrations of SEB were detected with a wide detection range of 6-100 ng/mL and a quick response in milk. The experimental results indicated that the cantilever-based aptasensors had sufficient sensitivity for the detection of SEB in real food commodities and might provide an economical platform for on-site detections of different toxicants with the advantages of portability, high sensitivity, and rapid response.
