Résumé

This work presents the realization of a label-free electrochemical immunosensor for the quick, cheap, and straightforward determination of atrazine. This biodevice is based on developing a technological platform where a gold screen printed electrode (Au-SPE) surface was modified by the electrodeposition of a highly porous gold layer. As an internal probe redox, a Prussian Blue thin layer (PB) was then electrosynthetized onto the modified Au-SPE. Atrazine antibody (Ab-ATZ) was immobilized using G protein-functionalized magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs@protG) to ensure the correct orientation of the antibody to enhance the immunoaffinity. Under optimum experimental conditions, the electrochemical characterization of the developed immunosensor displays a linearity range towards atrazine within 0.05-1.5 ng/mL, a LOD of 0.011 ng/mL good reproducibility and stability. The immunosensor was tested in the analysis of spiked drinking water samples with a mean recovery ranging from 95.7 to 108.4%. The overall good analytical performances of this immunodevice suggest its application for the screening and monitoring of atrazine in real matrices.
