ABSTRACT
To obtain a sensitive, wash-free photoelectrochemical biosensor based on electron mediation between an electrode and a photoredox catalyst (PC) label, unavoidable O2-related reactions should have no effect or be beneficial, and the rate of electron mediation should depend on the distance between the PC label and electrode. A wash-free photoelectrochemical biosensor that (i) combines photoredox catalysis of a PC label with electrochemical reduction of an electron mediator, and (ii) uses a light-blocking multilayer of magnetic microparticles was developed. O2 participates as an electron acceptor in photoredox catalysis; thus, increasing rather than decreasing the electrochemical signal. Upon photoirradiation from the opposite side of a transparent indium tin oxide (ITO) electrode in contact with the solution, the light intensity in the solution is sharply decreased by the light-blocking multilayer, which increases the contribution of affinity-bound PC labels on the ITO electrode to the electrochemical signal compared to that of unbound PC labels in solution. Utilizing eosin Y (EY2-) and Fe(CN)64- as the PC and electron mediator (i.e., electron donor), respectively, enabled rapid redox cycling based on photoredox catalysis combined with electroreduction. The cathodic charge is mainly related to electron transfer from Fe(CN)64- to excited EY2- (Type I photosensitization), rather than energy transfer from excited EY2- to O2, which generates 1O2 (Type II photosensitization). The developed detection scheme was applied to wash-free detection of a model target DNA. Detection limits of â¼200 pM were obtained in both phosphate-buffered saline and serum without washing. The developed scheme enables simple photoelectrochemical detection.
