    • Abstract:
      In this paper, a new kind of ultrasensitive and low-cost electrochemical immunosensing probe was designed to monitor vitamin D deficiency using 25(OH)D 3 as a clinical biomarker. Ferrocene carbaldehyde conjugated on Ab-25(OH)D 3 antibodies was used as an electrochemical probe for generating signals. The graphene nanoribbon-modified electrode (GNRs) was used to immobilize the (Ab-25(OH)D 3 -Fc) conjugate. The high electron transferability, greater surface area, and effective biocompatibility of GNRs enabled the capture of the greater number of primary antibodies (Ab-25(OH)D 3 ). The developed probe was structurally and morphologically characterized. The step-wise modification was investigated by electrochemical techniques. The direct electrochemistry of ferrocene enabled 25(OH)D 3 biomarker detection with excellent sensitivity. The reduction in peak current was proportional to the concentrations of 25(OH)D 3 in the range of 1-100 ng mL -1 with a 0.1 ng mL -1 limit of detection. The probe was tested in terms of reproducibility, repeatability, and stability. Finally, the developed immunosensing probe was applied in serum samples for 25(OH)D 3 quantification, and no significant difference was noticed in the assay results when compared with the standard chemiluminescent immunoassay (CLIA) method. The developed detection strategy has a wider scope for future potential clinical diagnostics applications.
