The authors report a label-free and direct detection of rheumatoid factor- Immunoglobulin M (IgM-RF) based on an impedimetric-interdigitated wave type microelectrode array (IDW mu E). IDW mu E was functionalized with a self-assembled monolayer (SAM) of thioctic acid for antigen immobilization. The SAM functionalized IDW mu E were characterized by atomic force microscopy, Energy Dispersive X-Ray Spectroscopy, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. The covalent immobilization of IgG-Fc onto the SAM modified electrode arrays was characterized morphologically via AFM and electrochemically via cyclic voltammetry and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. Impedimetric measurements in the presence of redox probe (Potassium ferrocyanide and potassium ferricyanide) showed a significant change in both the impedance spectrum and charge transfer resistance upon IgM-RF binding. Impedance measurements were target specific and linear with an increase in IgM-RF concentrations between 1 and 200 IU mL(-1) in redox probe and human serum, respectively. The sensor showed detection limits of 0.6 IU mL(-1) in the presence of redox probe and 0.22 IU mL(-1) in the human serum. The biosensor exhibited good reproducibility (relative standard deviation (RSD), 4.96%) and repeatability (RSD, 2.31%) with an acceptable selectivity towards IgM-RF detection. The sensor also showed a good stability for 3 weeks at 4 degrees C in 1X PBS. Therefore, the sensitive and stable immunosensor exhibiting IDW mu E features can be integrated with a miniaturized potentiostat to develop a sensing system that detects IgM-RF for point-of-care applications.
