In the present study, we have developed a capacitance electrochemical biosensor based on silicon nitride substrate (Si3N4/SiO2/Si[P]/Al) for Tumour Necrosis Factor Alpha (TNF-alpha) cytokines detection. Micro-contact printing, Fluorescence microscopy characterization and contact angle measurement (CAM) were carried out during the bio-functionalization of the biosensor surface. Mott-Schottky analyses were applied for TNF-alpha detection within the range of 1 pg/mL to 30 pg/mL in which the immunosensor has exhibited a good linearity, a sensitivity of 4 mV.pM(-1) and 4.4 mV.pM(-1) in PBS and artificial saliva (AS) respectively. While the LOD was found at 0.38 pg/mL and 1 pg/mL in PBS and AS respectively. The developed immunosensor has also demonstrated a high and good selectivity for TNF-alpha detection in human AS when compared to other interferences like Cortisol and Interleukin-10. The performances of the developed biosensor are very promising for biomedical application to predict the first sign of inflammation.
