Sammanfattning

The classical way to modify a gold electrode surface for immunosensor development is through self-assembly of functionalised thiols for subsequent attachment of antibodies. Here is described a new pathway for surface modification using a diazonium salt-based immunosensor for detection of methotrexate (MTX) with electrochemical immittance spectroscopy (EIS). The diazonium salt, 4-carboxybenzenediazonium tetrafluoroborate was synthesized using a diazotization reaction and characterized by IR and cyclic voltammetry (CV). The Au electrode was electrografted with diazonium and used for anti-MTX antibody immobilization. The EIS detection of MTX was studied with and without application of redox probe; Fe(CN)(6)(3-/4-). MTX could not be detected using Fe(CN)(6)(3-/4-) as redox probe, whereas EIS measurements without redox probe and analysis of the data with singular decomposition (SVD) gave good results. A multivariate calibration model showed good linear behavior on a logarithmic scale with a detection limit for MTX of 7 x 10(-12) mol L--(1).
