Analytica Chimica Acta, vol. 743, septiembre de 2012, pp. 117-24. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.aca.2012.07.002.0003-267010.1016/j.aca.2012.07.002https://hdl.handle.net/20.500.14352/91916This work describes the preparation of an electrochemical immunosensor for estradiol based on the surface modification of a screen printed carbon electrode with grafted p-aminobenzoic acid followed by covalent binding of streptavidin (Strept) and immobilization of biotinylated anti-estradiol (antiestradiol-Biotin). The hormone determination was performed by applying a competitive immunoassay with peroxidase-labelled estradiol (HRP–estradiol) and measurement of the amperometric response at −200 mV using hydroquinone (HQ) as redox mediator. The calibration curve for estradiol exhibited a linear range between 1 and 250 pg mL−1 (r = 0.990) and a detection limit of 0.77 pg mL−1 was achieved. Cross-reactivity studies with other hormones related with estradiol at physiological concentration levels revealed the practical specificity of the developed method for estradiol. A good reproducibility, with RSD = 5.9% (n = 8) was also observed. The operating stability of a single bioelectrode modified with anti-estradiol-Biotin-Strept was nine days when it was stored at 8 ◦C under humid conditions between measurements. The developed immunosensor was applied to the analysis of certified serum and spiked urine samples with good resultsengjournal articlehttps://doi.org/10.1016/j.aca.2012.07.002restricted access543EstradiolElectrochemical immunosensorScreen-printed electrodesSerumUrineQuímica analítica (Química)2301 Química Analítica
