Abstract:
The pH meter, one of the most common sensors for laboratory measurements, has the advantages of excellent sensitivity, low price, high reliability, and ease of use. In this study, the high sensitivity of the pH meter was coupled with the high selectivity of immunosorbent assay to develop a simple and portable biosensor for aflatoxin B-1 (AFB(1)) determination. Urease was first labelled on the AFB(1) antigen, in the presence of AFB(1); the target competed with the urease-labeled AFB(1) antigen to be captured by the antibody. Urease could catalyse the hydrolysis of urea into ammonia and induce the pH increase of the solution; the change could easily be detected using a handheld pH meter or pH-sensitive dye. Under optimized conditions, the pH value enhancement had a linear relationship with the logarithm of the concentration of AFB(1) in the range of 0.62 to 23.42 ng mL(-1). The proposed biosensor has been applied to detect AFB(1) in real samples with satisfactory results.
