Özet

Reliable onsite biosensors for detecting drugs of abuse are of critical importance for the current society. Electrochemical sensors, especially screen-printed electrode (SPE)-based sensors, are a strong candidate for onsite drug detection. Although many SPE-based sensors are being developed, enhancing these tools' sensitivity and analytical capacity is a continuous endeavor. Here, we propose a novel approach for SPE surface modification using a combination of hydrogel, ionic liquid, and specific antibodies to detect methamphetamine in human saliva samples. The hydrogel-ionic liquid (ionogel) was synthesized from gelatin, PEG, and 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide. FTIR and SEM were used to characterize the material before it was applied over a screen-printed gold electrode for electrochemical measurements using cyclic voltammetry (CV) and differential pulse voltammetry (DPV). After optimization, the calibration of the proposed sensor showed a detection range between 5.0 and 1000 ng/mL with a LOD = 0.56 ng/mL in PBS. Application of the sensor with spiked human saliva demonstrated enhanced sensitivity with a LOD = 0.72 ng/mL. The repeatability and reproducibility of the proposed biosensor demonstrated a coefficient of variance (CV%) reaching 6.92% and 2.53%, respectively. The biosensor showed a high specificity toward methamphetamine compared to other interferents. The current ionogel-based electrochemical immunosensor offers a promising and versatile tool for sensitive onsite detection of substance abuse. (C) 2022 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
