A multiplexing electrochemical immunosensor was developed for ultrasensitive detection of cancer related protein biomarkers. We employed disposable screen-printed carbon electrode (SPCE) array as the detection platform. A universal multi-labeled nanoprobe was developed by loading HRP and goat-anti-rabbit IgG (secondary antibody, Ab2) onto multiwalled carbon nanotube (MWNT). This universal nanoprobe was available for virtually any sandwich-based antigen detection and showed superiority in several areas. By using the SPCE array and the universal nanoprobe, we could detect as low as 5 pg mL−1 of prostate specific antigen (PSA) and 8 pg mL−1 of Interleukin 8 (IL-8) with the electrochemical immunosensor. We also demonstrated simultaneous detection of two protein biomarkers with this platform. With these attracted features, our immunoassay system shows promising applications for in-field and point-of-care test in clinical diagnostics.
