Construction of aptasensors for sensitive detection of 8-OH-dG based on a diffusion mediated electrochemiluminescence quenching effect†
Abstract
A DNA immobilization-free ECL aptasensor was developed for the detection of 8-hydroxy-2′-deoxygunosine based on the diffusion mediated ECL quenching effect. This ECL aptasensor exhibited a high sensitivity and low detection limit by combining homogeneous DNA reaction with dual signal amplifications: target-induced multi-DNA release and Exo I-assisted target recycling.
