Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy biosensor with interdigitated electrode for detection of human immunoglobulin A.

Interdigitated electrodes (IDEs) that have a series of parallel microband electrodes with alternating microbands connected together were utilized in electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) to build a label-free human immunoglobulin A (IgA) immunosensor. Anti-human IgA (anti-IgA) was employed as an IgA receptor and was covalently immobilized on the IDE surface through a self-assembled monolayer, as confirmed by atomic force microscopy. EIS measurements revealed that the specific adsorption of IgA onto the immobilized anti-IgA gave rise to a clear increase in the value of interfacial charge transfer resistance (R(ct)). A linear relationship between ΔR(ct) and the logarithm of IgA concentration was found for the concentration range of 0.01-100 ng/mL. No modulation of R(ct) was detected by immersing the sensor in solutions of other proteins such as human immunoglobulin G or bovine serum albumin, which confirmed a high selectivity of this immunosensor for IgA. These results demonstrated that the anti-IgA receptor simply immobilized on the IDE surface can provide a sensitive biosensor.
