The electrochemiluminescence (ECL) aptasensor was prepared for the detection of Mucin 1 based on its specific recognition by aptamer immobilized on multi‐functionalized graphene oxide nanocomposite, which was prepared with N‐(4‐aminobutyl)‐N‐ethylisoluminol (ABEI) and aptamer chemically bound to the surface of magnetic GO (nanoFe3O4@GO). ABEI and aptamer acted as the electrochemiluminophore and the capture device for Mucin 1 respectively. NanoFe3O4@GO brought multi‐functionalized graphene oxide nanocomposite attracted on the surface of magnetic glass carbon electrode through magnetism, enabled all the ABEI immobilized electrochemically active due to its good conductivity and thus then facilitated the sensitive detection of Mucin 1. In addition, the ECL aptasensor can be prepared through a one‐step process. Under optimal conditions, the ECL intensity of the aptasensor decreased proportionally to the logarithmic concentrations of Mucin 1 in the range of 0.005–1000 ng mL−1. This aptasensor displays good specificity, stability, reproducibility and application. This method has a large potential because such a multi‐functionalized graphene oxide nanocomposite also may be applied to other ECL‐based aptasensors.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
