Pysanka-Inspired Electrode Modification with Aptamer Encapsulation in ZIF-8 for Urine Creatinine Electrochemical Biosensing

Drawing inspiration from the several thousand beautiful Pysanky egg art of Ukraine, we have developed a novel material, Aptamer–Gold Nanoparticles (AuNPs)@ZIF-8, that can be used for building sensitive and highly stable POC biosensors for longitudinal health mapping. Here, we demonstrate a sensitive...

description Drawing inspiration from the several thousand beautiful Pysanky egg art of Ukraine, we have developed a novel material, Aptamer–Gold Nanoparticles (AuNPs)@ZIF-8, that can be used for building sensitive and highly stable POC biosensors for longitudinal health mapping. Here, we demonstrate a sensitive and specific novel electrochemical biosensor, made of a novel synthesized in situ encapsulated aptamer-AuNPs@ZIF-8 composite, for monitoring levels of creatinine (0.1–1000 μg/mL). In this work, we have reported the synthetic protocol for the first-of-a-kind in situ encapsulation of aptamer and AuNPs together in a ZIF-8 matrix, and explored the characteristic properties of this novel material composite using standard analytical techniques and its application for biosensor application. The as-synthesized material, duly characterized using various physicochemical analytical methods, portrays the characteristics of the unique encapsulation strategy to develop the first-of-a-kind aptamer and AuNP encapsulation. Non-faradaic Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy (EIS) and Chronoamperometry were used to characterize the interfacial electrochemical properties. The biosensor performance was first validated using artificial urine in a controlled buffer medium. The stability and robustness were tested using a real human urine medium without filtration or sample treatment. Being versatile, this Ukrainian-art-inspired biosensor can potentially move the needle towards developing the next generation of sample-in-result-out robust POC diagnostics.
