Abstract An electrochemical immunoassay for the carcinoembryonic antigen is described. It is based on the use of Au NPs modified zeolitic imidazolate framework (ZIF-8) and ordered mesoporous carbon (OMC). Au NPs@ZIF-8 was synthesized by reduction of chloroauric acid. It serves as immobilization support nanocarrier to increase antibody loading due to its large surface area. OMC was dropped on a glassy carbon electrode to improve electrochemical signals due to enhanced electrical conductivity. Differential pulse voltammetry was carried out to record electrochemical responses (best measured at 0.26 V vs. Ag/AgCl). The immunosensor demonstrated excellent electrochemical performance with a linear determination range of 5 pg mL−1 to 400 ng mL−1 and a determination limit of 1.3 pg mL−1 (S/N = 3). The sensor also exhibited high selectivity, good stability, and acceptable reproducibility.

Carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) is a tumor marker normally expressed in limited areas of human body. Overexpression of CEA contributes to improving the diagnosis of many diseases, including colorectal cancer [1], lung cancer [2], breast cancer [3], pancreatic cancer [4], and many other benign tumors [5]. Various immunological methods have been exploited for CEA determination, including electrochemical immunoassay [6, 7], photoelectrochemical immunoassay [8], fluoroimmunoassay [9], chemiluminescence immunoassay [10, 11], plasmonic immunosensor [12], and so on. Electrochemical immunoassay is identified as the predominant analytical determination technology for clinical diagnosis due to its advantages such as cost effectiveness, extremely high sensitivity, fast r
