Abstract

Abstract We report the construction and characterization of a novel, level free impedimetric immunosensor for rapid, sensitive and selective detection of myoglobin (Mb). Monoclonal anti-myoglobin (anti-Mb-IgG) antibody was immobilized on screen-printed multiwalled carbon nanotubes electrode for signal amplification without the need of natural enzymes. The fabrication of resulting immunosensor was extensively characterized by using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy, cyclic voltammetry (CV), differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) technique offered a linear detection range (0.1-90 ng mL? 1) of myoglobin with sensitivity of 0.74 k? ng mL? 1 (correlation coefficient, {R2} = 0.97) and detection limit of 0.08 ng mL? 1 (S/N = 3). The mean percentage recovery of Mb in serum samples using this working biosensor is 97.33%. Furthermore, the proposed strategy can be a promising alternative for detection of Mb related cardiovascular disorders.
