Abstract

A novel sensor has been developed for albumin recognition, using a Chitosan polymer film printed on the surface of ITO/Ag electrode. The electrode was fabricated through the deposition of an Ag film onto the ITO surface. Subsequently, MIP film was synthesized through Chitosan polymerization and cross-linked using glutaraldehyde. This polymer was used because it is more environmentally friendly and biocompatible. The formation of albumin binding sites on the MIP makes this sensor selective against other molecules. Meanwhile, Cyclic Voltammetry (CV) and Electric Impedance Spectroscopy (EIS) were used to analyze the performance of the sensor against albumin presence. Under optimal conditions, the ITO/Ag/MIP sensor showed high sensitivity with a value of 57.6 μA mM−1cm−1 and 47,100 Ω mM−1 cm−1 for CV and EIS measurements. There was only a slight difference in sensitivity values, indicating that the electrode could be used in real serum. In addition, the limit of detection (LOD) was found to be very low at 7.00 × 10−19 g dl−1 in the concentration range of 10−19 to 10−1 g/dl. The influence of other molecules was also investigated, and the sensor showed high selectivity, reproducibility, and stability. Moreover, molecular simulations show that the combination of hydrophobic and covalent interactions ensures that the MIP composition has the stability necessary for high sensitivity and the flexibility required for albumin binding.
