Summary

The invention is related to a carbon nanofiber-based label free electrochemical immunosensor for sensitive detection of proteins in a fluid. The immunosensor is a modified carbon nano-fiber screen protected electrode (CNF-SPE) with a carboxyphenyl film activated by EDC/NHS. Monolayer of 4-aminophenylboronic acid coating was then fabricated onto the electrode to allow orientation of antibody via bonding of boronic acid-saccharide of oligosaccharide moiety located on the Fc region of antibody. The modified electrode is then used for the detection of a hormone such as a rbST in a fluid with a detection limit of 1pg/ml.
