Popis: A nonenzymatic sandwich-type electrochemical immunosensor was developed by means of a modified glassy carbon electrode: GCE/chitosan/Au nanoparticle (AuNP)/anti-Aflatoxin B 1 (a AFB 1 ), and a Fe 3 O 4 magnetic core with a gold shell functionalized with 3-((2-mercaptoethylimino)methyl)benzene-1,2-diol and labeled with an AFB 1 . The immunosensor was used for the detection of Aflatoxin B 1 as a model antigen. The current originated from the conversion of catechol to o -quinone and vice versa within a quasi-reversible two electrons–two protons reaction, considered as the response. The electrochemical studies demonstrated that the proposed immunoelectrode can be used to detect AFB 1 in the range of 0.6–110 ng mL −1 with a detection limit of 0.2 ng mL −1 . This immunosensor can be simply regenerated by using an external magnetic field which ensures a reproducible response.
