  abstract  = {The development of an electrochemical piezoelectric sensor for the detection of glycated hemoglobin is presented. The total hemoglobin (Hb) content is monitored with a mass-sensitive quartz crystal modified with surfactants, and the glycated fraction of the immobilized Hb is determined by subsequent voltarnmetric measurement of the coupled ferroceneboronic acid. Different modifications of the sensor were tested for their hemoglobin binding ability. Deoxycholate (DOCA) was found to be the most suitable among the examined modifiers. Piezoelectric quartz crystals with gold electrodes were modified with DOCA by covalent binding to a pre-formatted 4-aminothiophenol monolayer. The properties of the Hb binding to DOCA and the pH effect on this interaction were studied. In the proposed assay for glycated hemoglobin at first an Hb sample is incubated with ferroceneboronic acid (FcBA), which binds to the fructosyl residue of the glycated Hb. Then this preincubated Hb sample is allowed to interact with the DOCA-modified piezoelectric quartz crystal. The binding is monitored by quartz crystal nanobalance QCN). The amount of FcBA present on the sensor surface is determined by square wave voltammetry. The binding of FcBA results in well-defined peaks with an EO' of +200 mV versus Ag/AgC1 (1 M KC1). The peak height depends on the degree of glycated Hb in the sample ranging from 0\% to 20\% of total Hb. The regeneration of the sensing surface is achieved by pepsin digestion of the deposited Hb. Thus the sensor can be re-used more than 30 times.},

  abstract  = {A novel electrochemical immunoassay based on the multiple affinity labeling of the indicator antibody with an electro-active tag is presented. The concept is illustrated for the determination of the glycated hemoglobin HbA1c in hemoglobin samples. Hemoglobin is adsorbed to the surfactant-modified surface of a piezoelectric quartz crystal. Whereas the quartz crystal nanobalance is used to validate the total Hb binding, the HbA1c on the sensor surface is recognized by an antibody and quantified electrochemically after the sugar moieties of the antibody have been labeled in-situ with ferroceneboronic acid. The sensitivity of this sensor is about threefold higher than the sensitivity of a hemoglobin sensor, where the ferroceneboronic acid is bound directly to HbA1c.},
