Abstract
A procedure was developed for the covalent coupling of anti-alpha-fetoprotein antibody (anti-AFP) to a gold surface modified with a self-assembled monolayer (SAM) of thiourea (TU). The performance of the SAM-antibody layer was compared to those of similar layers based on thioctic acid (TA) and 3-mercaptopropionic acid (MPA) by using flow injection capacitive immunosensor system. Covalent coupling of anti-AFP on self-assembled thiourea monolayer (SATUM) modified gold electrode can be used to detect alpha-fetoprotein with high efficiency, similar sensitivity, the same linear range (0.01-10 mu g l(-1)) and detection limit (10ng l(-1)) as those obtained from sensors based on self-assembled thioctic acid monolayer (SATAM) and self-assembled...

The system is specific for alpha-fetoprotein and can be regenerated and reused up to 48 times. Therefore, self-assembled monolayer using thiourea which is cheaper than thioctic acid and 3-mercaptopropionic acid is a good alternative for biosensor applications when SAMs are used.
