We present here the correlation of picomolar affinities between surface-plasmon and electrochemical immunoassays for the binding of serum glutamic acid decarboxylase 65 autoantibody (GADA), a biomarker of type 1 diabetes (T1D), to its antigen GAD-65. Carboxylated (similar to 5.0%)-graphene-modified immunoassembly on a gold surface-plasmon chip or on an electrochemical array provided significantly larger binding affinity, higher sensitivity, and lower detection limits than a self-assembled monolayer surface of mercaptopropionic acid (MPA). Estimation of the relative surface -COOH groups by covalent tagging of an electroactive aminoferrocene showed that the graphenyl surface displayed a greater number of -COOH groups (9-fold) than the MPA surface. X-ray-photoelectron-spectroscopy analysis showed more C-O and C=O functionalities on the graphene-COOH surface than on the MPA surface. The graphene-COOH coating on gold exhibited similar to 5.5-fold enhancement of plasmon signals compared with a similar coating on a plain glass surface. In summary, this article provides a quantitative comparison of carboxylated graphene with a mercapto-monolayer immunoassembly. Additionally, we propose that the binding-constant value can be useful as a quality-control checkpoint for reproducible and reliable production of large-scale biosensors for clinical bioassays.
