摘要：Vibrio parahaemolyticus is one of the foodborne bacteria that widely present in seafood as well as the leading cause of seafood-associated bacterial gastroenteritis. Traditional identification of such pathogens mainly relies on culturing methods, ELISA or PCR. These methods are usually laborious, time-consuming with poor diagnosis competences, or require costly and bulky equipment though of high sensitivity. In this study, a thread-based microfluidic electrochemical aptasensor was designed, fabricated and tested by using label-free aptamer immunosensing technology for rapid and highly sensitive detection of Vibrio parahaemolyticus in seafood. Both the microfluidic channels and electrodes were simply fabricated on threads. Molybdenum disulfide (MoS₂) nanosheets were used to obtain enhanced sensitivity of the electrochemical measurement. When used in detecting Vibrio parahaemolyticus, the proposed aptasensor has a dynamic detection range of 10–10⁶ CFU mL⁻¹ with a detection limit of 5.74 CFU mL⁻¹. Compared with traditional plate counting method, the proposed aptasensor has higher detection sensitivity and less assay time (30 min), while high specificity and accuracy are kept. The proposed microfluidic thread-based electrochemical aptasensor grabs the potential to detect other pathogens by simply functionalizing the threaded electrodes with aptamers for targeted biological substances.
