Abstract

Coronavirus disease caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) has caused secondary pandemic, which still poses a serious threat to physical health and economic development. Herein, the target-driven functionalized DNA hydrogel capillary sensor based on cascade signal amplification and carbon coated cobalt manganese modified by prussian blue and platinum nanoparticles (MnCo@C-Pt-PB NPs) has been successfully developed for dual-mode detection of SARS-CoV-2. The cascade signal amplification triggered by target RNA causes the permeability of the DNA hydrogel loaded in the capillary to be destroyed, thereby releasing the embedded MnCo@C-Pt-PB NPs as signal molecules into 3,3',5,5'-tetramethylbenzidine/hydrogen peroxide (TMB/H[SUB]2[/SUB]O[SUB]2[/SUB]) solution under the driving of capillarity. The colorless TMB is then catalyzed to blue oxidation products (oxTMB) due to peroxidase-like activity of MnCo@C-Pt-PB NPs, and MnCo@C-Pt-PB NPs and oxTMB with photothermal properties synergistically increase the system temperature under near-infrared irradiation, which are recorded by portable devices to achieve dual-mode detection. Signals intensity are proportional to the logarithm of T-RNA concentration in a wide detection range (100 aM-100 pM), with a detection limit of 100 aM. Moreover, the reliability of the developed method in oropharyngeal swabs samples has also been validated. The signal conversion and amplification function of functionalized DNA hydrogel enhances the convenience, sensitivity and versatility of the developed method, which is promising to be applied in environmental safety, molecular diagnostic assays and disease prevention.
