Abstract:
Silica nanoparticles, with entrapped hydrophobic photosensitizer tetra-α-(2, 4-di-tert-butylphenoxy)-phthalocyaninato zinc (ZnPc(OAr) 4 ), were synthesized by hydrolyzing triethoxyvinylsilane (TEVS) and 3-amino propyl triethoxysilane (APTES). The as-prepared nanoparticles, which were highly monodispersed spheres (about 100nm), exhibited strong Q-band absorption of ZnPc(OAr) 4 centered at 701nm. The aqueous solubility of ZnPc(OAr)4 encapsulated in silica nanoparticles was obviously improved. The nanoparticles efficiently generated singlet oxygen ( 1 O 2 ) both in organic and aqueous solutions after being irradiated at suitable wavelength. The resulting 1 O 2 then initiated chemiluminescence (CL) by reacting with a methyl cypridina luciferin analog (MCLA). Based on the photoinduced CL, a sensitive aptamer-based sandwich-type sensor was presented to detect human thrombin. Thrombin was first attached to Pc@SiO 2 via secondary aptamer, and then they were collected, for CL determination, by beads with primary aptamer. The proposed approach, which was highly selective with a low detection limit of 80pmol/L, minimized the nonspecific adsorption. Such an aptamer-based biosensor is feasible in screening biomarkers in complex matrices at ultratrace levels. © 2013 Elsevier B.V.
