title: Ultrasensitive electrochemiluminescence detection of lengthy DNA molecules based on dual signal amplification.
abstract: Aimed at the facile detection of lengthy DNA molecules, an easily operated sandwich-type electrochemiluminescence (ECL) DNA biosensor was constructed on a glassy carbon electrode (GCE) based on CdTe quantum dots coated hollow ZnO nanoparticles (CdTe-ZnO NPs)-S(2)O(8)(2-) ECL system in this work. To fabricate a high-performance protocol, the GCE surface was successively modified by graphene nanosheet (GS), carbon nanotube (CNT) and gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) to form AuNPs dotted CNT-GS composites (Au@CNT-GS) platform, which improved the electronic transmission rate as well as increased the amount of immobilized capture probe CMV-F (S(1)). For further ultrasensitive, stable and low-potential ECL detection, CdTe-ZnO NPs were synthesized, and employed to label signal probe T7 promoter (S(3)). Based on the hybridization effect, the immobilized capture probe S(1), target DNA and labeled signal probe S(3) formed a sandwich-type DNA complex, which produced the ECL emission in the presence with S(2)O(8)(2-) coreactant. Under optimal conditions, the DNA ECL biosensor showed a good linear range over 10(-14) M to 10(-19) M with a low detection limit of 0.61 × 10(-19) M. The proposed strategy demonstrates a reproducible, stable, and potent method that can be expanded to detect the genome which exists in living cells.
