Abstract

This paper reports the preparation of the polyethylene glycol-coated graphene nanoplatelet (PEG-GN) possessing highly dispersive, fluorescence quenching and size separation functions, and its application to "single-step" immunoassay. PEG-GN allowed to separate free fluorescently-labeled antibody and immunocomplex by the difference in size. The former adsorbed on PEG-GN and its fluorescence was quenched, and the latter did not approach the surface of PEG-GN due to the steric hindrance of PEG structure. By mixing PEG-GN and fluorescently-labeled antibody and sample solution containing antigen, the antigen concentration was able to be measured from the fluorescence intensity changes without washing operation. In this study, as a demonstration, the C-reactive protein (CRP) concentration was successfully measured by single-step operation.
