Abstract: A molecularly imprinted magnetic sensor with electroluminescent tags (MIP-ECL sensor) was developed for ultrasensing diethylstilbestrol (DES). A strategy is exploited to enhance ECL emission of the [Ru(bpy)3]2 +-tripropyl amine (TPrA) system by CdTe@ZnS quantum-dots (QDs) through energy transfer. Magnetically molecularly imprinted nanoparticles (MMIPs NPs) based on Fe3O4@SiO2 carriers are artificial, easily reproducible, and could replace easily inactivated first antibodies for capturing more DES molecules. Functionalized bio-conjugates of single antibody-CdTe@ZnS (Ab-CdTe@ZnS) are for the first time loaded on signal labels of Ru(bpy)32 +-doped silica nanocomposites (Ru@SiO2) for signal amplification. The final bio-conjugated signal probes are denoted as Ab-DES/CdTe@ZnSGÇôRu@SiO2. MMIPs beads that have captured antigens are bio-conjugated with antibody-labeled luminescent probes by specific immunoreactive reaction, and then the luminescent immunocomplex generates ECL signal on the magnetic electrode. The logarithm of ECL intensities depend linearly on the logarithm of DES concentrations in the range from 4.8 × 10-4 to 36.0 nM with a detection limit of 0.025 pM. This novel assay is much more sensitive than other MIP sensors, and achieves lower cost and more enhanced stability than other immunosensors. The sensor is significantly potential and has been applied to DES detection in actual environment
