A highly sensitive label-free electrochemical aptasensor has been constructed for the electrochemical detection of thrombin (TB), where two layers of cobalt hexacyanoferrate (CoHCF) redox probes sandwiched with carbon nanotubes–Nafion were directly immobilized on the electrode surface by electrodeposition. Through the strong interaction between CN?/sup> (CoHCF) and gold nanoparticles (GNPs), GNPs were assembled on the CoHCF-modified electrode for the immobilization of thiolated thrombin aptamers (TBA). In the presence of target TB, TBA on the electrode surface could catch TB to form TBA–TB complex, which made a barrier for the electron transfer, resulting in a greater decrease in CoHCF redox probe signals. Thus, the proposed aptasensor showed a high sensitivity and a much wider linearity to TB in the range of 1.0?pg/mL?~-.0?μg/mL with a detection limit of 0.28?pg/mL.
