Abstract(s)

Development of expeditious analytical methods for the detection of genetically modified organisms (GMOs) is increasingly necessary, not only to verify compliance with labelling, but also to help industry to efficiently control the reception of raw materials. On the basis of this, a disposable electrochemical magnetogenoassay is proposed for simultaneous detection of two Roundup Ready (RR) soybean lines GTS 40-3-2 and MON89788, using gold-coated magnetic nanoparticles (Fe3O4@Au) as nanosupport. To perform this magnetogenoassay, a sandwich-type hybridization assay was used with different enzymatic labelling systems (fluorescein isothiocyanate and digoxigenin) and dual screen-printed carbon electrodes (SPdCEs), which allowed the simultaneous readout of each target. A linear relationship ranging from 0.1 to 2.5 nM and from 0.1 to 1.0 nM was achieved for GTS 40-3-2 and MON89788 events, respectively, and both assays showed a similar detection limit of about 0.1 nM. Furthermore, a good performance in terms of precision and selectivity was achieved. The proposed approach is a step forward for event-specific multiplex detection.
