LAMP-visualized photofuel cell self-powered dual-mode sensing platform for detection of transmissible gastroenteritis virus.

ABSTRACT

The detection of transmissible gastroenteritis virus (TGEV) is of great significance to reduce the loss of pig industry. A LAMP-visualization/PFC self-powered dual-mode output sensor platform was constructed to detect TGEV by combining a simple and intuitive photoelectrochromic material with a highly sensitive PFC self-powered sensing platform without external power supply. The PFC sensing substrate was constructed using CdS nanoparticles modified ZnO NRs (CdS/ZnO NRs) as the photoanode, which exhibited high photoactivity, and Prussian blue (PB) as the cathode. After LAMP reaction on the optical anode, visual signals caused by PB discolorimetry can be detected semi-quantitatively, or PFC power density electrical signals collected by electrochemical workstation can be used. The output power density value is logarithm of TGEV concentration. The linear relationship was good within the detection range of 0.075 fg/µL-7.5 ng/µL, with a detection limit of 0.025 fg/µL (S/N = 3). This multi-signal output sensing platform provides more choices for quantifying TGEV detection results, and the two methods can be mutually verified, which meets the needs of different scenarios and improves the reliability of detection. It has a good effect in the actual sample detection, without the use of expensive and complex instruments, and has a broad application prospect.
