Abstract
Cardiovascular diseases are considered one of the leading causes of premature mortality of patients worldwide. Therefore, rapid diagnosis of these diseases is crucial to ensure the patient’s survival. During a heart attack or severe muscle damage, myoglobin is rapidly released in the body to constitute itself as a precise biomarker of acute myocardial infarction. Thus, we described the photoelectrochemical immunosensor development to detect myoglobin. It was based on fluorine-doped tin oxide modified with CdSeS/ZnSe quantum dots and barium titanate (BTO), designated as CdSeS/ZnSQDS/BTO. It was characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy-dispersive spectroscopy (EDX), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), and amperometry. The anodic photocurrent at the potential of 0 V (vs. Ag/AgCl) and pH 7.4 was found linearly related to the myoglobin (Mb) concentration from 0.01 to 1000 ng mL−1. Furthermore, the immunosensor showed an average recovery rate of 95.7–110.7% for the determination of myoglobin.
