? 2022 Elsevier B.V.An electrochemical immunosensor for the accurate detection of cat neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL) in urine samples based on an electrode with a monolayer of gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) was proposed in this study. To fabricate the sensing electrode, a nickel mold with concave micron hemisphere array was prepared and then used to transfer the micron hemispherical structure onto a polyethylene terephthalate (PET) film using the hot embossing technique. A gold thin film was sputtered onto the micron hemispherical structure array, after which 1,6-hexanedithol and AuNPs were uniformly deposited on the PET membrane to form a sensing electrode. The NGAL concentrations were measured by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy after attaching the anti-NGAL. Results revealed that the proposed sensing scheme exhibited a wide dynamic detection range from 1 to 100 ng/mL, which is far enough to distinguish the healthy (NGAL concentration <10 ng/mL) from the damaged kidney. A low limit of detection and high sensitivity of 0.47 ng/mL and 10261.8 Ω ng?1mL, respectively, were also measured. After performing real sample detection using urine samples from cats collected at a veterinary hospital, the results confirmed that the proposed NGAL detection approach in this research could accurately detect the concentration of NGAL in cat urine samples.
