Abstract
This work has explored the development of impedimetric immunosensors based on magnetic iron nanoparticles (IrNP) functionalized with streptavidin to which a biotinylated FAB part of the antibody has been bound using a biotin-streptavidin interaction. SPR analysis shows a deviation on the measured (angle) during antigen-antibody recognition whereas label free detection using by EIS allows us to monitor variation of polarization resistance. Before detection, layers were analyzed by FTIR and AFM. Compared to immobilization of antibody on bare gold surface using aminodecanethiol SAM, antibody immobilization on nanoparticles permitted to reach lower detection limit: 500 pg/ml instead of 1 ng/ml to in the case of EIS and 300 ng/ml instead of 4.5 g/ml in the case of SPR. Thus, it permitted to improve the sensitivity: from 257.3 to 1871 in the case of EIS and fromtoin the case of SPR.
