Abstract

Abstract: Real‐time quantitative monitoring of miRNAs plays an essential role in diagnosis and therapeutics. Herein, a DSN‐coupled graphene nanoarray/gold nanoparticles (GNAs/AuNPs) carbon paper (CP) electrode for the dynamic, sensitive, and real‐time analysis of miRNAs is reported. GNAs are vertically grown on the conductive CP by radio frequency plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition, and AuNPs are electrodeposited on CP/GNAs to build a 3D ultrasensitive sensing interface with large specific surface area, good conductivity and biocompatibility. The dynamic quantitative monitoring of microRNA‐21 (miR‐21) is realized by cyclic voltammetry with a series of different concentrations within 16 min, and this 3D GNAs/AuNPs DNA‐circuit strip shows good performance for the simultaneous detection of miR‐21 and miR‐155, and the detection limits are as low as 21.4 and 30.3 am, respectively. Moreover, comparable detection results are achieved for clinical samples between the proposed sensor and qRT‐PCR, suggesting the reliability of the constructed sensor. This ultrasensitive sensing and disposable DNA‐circuit strip with 3D structure can efficiently shorten the diffusion distance between reactive biomolecules and the sensing interface, enhance the hybridization of probes and improve the sensitivity of the biosensor, holding great promise for the rapid, quantitative and dynamic monitoring of multiple low concentrations of biomolecules in point‐of‐care clinical analysis. Abstract : A duplex‐specific nuclease‐coupled graphene nanoarray/gold nanoparticle (GNAs/AuNPs) carbon paper electrode for the dynamic, sensitive, rapid, and real‐time analysis of miRNAs is reported. The dynamic quantitative monitoring of miR‐21 is realized by CV within 16 min, and this 3D GNAs/AuNPs DNA‐circuit strip shows good performance for the simultaneous detection of miR‐21 (LOD: 21.4 am ) and miR‐155 (LOD: 30.3 am ).
