ABSTRACT
Developing non-passivating and fully integrated electrode arrays for point-of-care testing of carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) is crucial, as the serum level of CEA is closely associated with colorectal cancer. Herein, we propose a simple, low-cost, and eco-friendly template-assisted filtration method for the scalable preparation of carbon nanotube-bridged Ti3C2Tx MXene (MX@CNT) electrode arrays with a conductive network. Furthermore, we fabricate a homogeneous electrochemical (HEC) sensor for CEA detection by integrating a magnetic-bead-based alkaline phosphatase-linked immunoassay (MB-aElisa), which enables the in-situ generation of the electroactive substance 1-naphthol (1-NP). Benefiting from the unique electrochemical characteristics of a MX@CNT electrode array, such as ultra-low background signal and superior electrocatalytic activity towards the hydrolyzed 1-NP, the MB-aElisa-based HEC sensor specifically measures CEA within a detection range spanning from 0.005 to 1.0 ng mL-1, achieving a detection limit of 1.6 pg mL-1. Subsequently, this biosensing prototype is successfully utilized for the detection of CEA in serum specimens obtained from colorectal cancer patients. More importantly, the integration of MB-aElisa with a MX@CNT electrode array not only marks a significant advancement but also enables the creation of a one-step homogeneous electrochemical immunosensing platform, serving as a paradigm for the highly sensitive and selective measurement of trace tumor markers in complex biological samples.
