Evaluation and application of conducting polymer entrapment on quartz crystal microbalance in flow injection immunoassay.

An immunosensor employing conducting polymer entrapment (CPE) method to immobilize immuno-protein on the quartz crystal microbalance (QCM) for clinical flow-injection-analysis (FIA) purpose was exploited. By comparing the CPE approach and the conventional physical immobilization (PI) method, a frequency shift of the former was 47% higher than that of the latter when measuring at 0.5 mg/ml human serum albumin antibody concentration. This implied that CPE was a feasible approach for developing QCM-FIA process. An immunoassay of anti-pseudorabies virus antibody in mouse sera further exemplified its practical potential in diagnostic implication.
