Abstract

Glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) is considered a new standard for the detection of diabetes mellitus because it is more accurate than regular blood sugar tests and there is no need to take blood on an empty stomach or at a specific time. In this work, we have developed a novel optical fiber biosensor, referred to as the “WaveFlex biosensor,” which operates on the principles of localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) plasmonic wave. The sensor is fabricated using an innovative S-tapered and waist-expanded technique, enabling it to effectively detect HbA1c. Compared to the HbA1c sensors currently in use, HbA1c optical fiber sensors possess the characteristics of high sensitivity, low cost, and strong anti-interference ability. The gold nanoparticles (AuNPs), cerium oxide (CeO2) nanorods (NRs), and tungsten disulfide (WS2) nanosheets (NSs) are functionalized to improve the effectiveness of the fiber sensor on the probe surface. AuNPs are utilized to generate LSPR by the excitation of evanescent waves to amplify the sensing signal. The CeO2-NRs can have a strong metal-carrier interaction with AuNPs, enhancing the cascade of CeO2-NRs and AuNPs. The WS2-NSs with layered fold structure have a large specific surface area. Therefore, the combination of CeO2-NRs and WS2-NSs is conducive to the binding of antibodies and the addition of sites. The functionalized antibodies on the fiber make the sensor probe capable of specific selection. The developed probe is applied to test the HbA1c solution over concentrations of 0-1000 µg/mL, and the sensitivity and limits of detection of 1.195×10−5 a.u./(µg/mL) and 1.66 µg/mL are obtained, respectively. The sensor probe is also evaluated using assays for reproducibility, reusability, selectivity, and pH. According to the findings, a novel method for detecting blood glucose based on a plasmonic biosensor is proposed.
