Abstract
Neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL) is a remarkable biomarker for assessing acute kidney injury. In this study, we developed a novel label-free NGAL electrochemical immunosensor based on gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) and Prussian blue (PB) without an external mediator. The AuNPs-PB based immunosensor was fabricated on a custom gold-electrode (AuE)-based polypropylene (PP) substrate. We systematically assessed and optimized key experimental parameters, including the process of AuNPs-PB electrodeposition, antibody concentration, and incubation time. The immunosensor response toward NGAL was determined using differential pulse voltammetry, where the decrease in the oxidation current response of the PB redox probe correlating with the increase in NGAL concentration. Our results demonstrated that the synergistic benefits of both AuNPs and PB significantly improved electrochemical activity for NGAL detection and provided a highly stable sensor across a range of pH values. The label-free immunosensor exhibited two linear ranges: 0.10-1.40 ng mL-1 and 1.40-25.0 ng mL-1, with a low detection limit of 0.094 ng mL-1. The developed NGAL immunosensor displayed high selectivity and excellent reproducibility. Furthermore, NGAL detection was completed within 30 min and the immunosensor exhibited storage stability for six weeks. Notably, NGAL levels determined in human urine samples using this developed label-free immunosensor showed good agreement with the results obtained from the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. This novel label-free NGAL immunosensor provides great potential in developing NGAL point-of-care testing applications.

Abstract
Due to their highly exposed active sites and high aspect ratio caused by their substantial lateral dimension and thin thickness, two-dimensional (2D) metal-organic framework (MOF) nanosheets are currently considered a potential hybrid material for electrochemical sensing. Herein, we present a nickel-based porphyrinic MOF nanosheet as a versatile and robust platform with an enhanced electrochemical detection performance. It is important to note that the nickel porphyrin ligand reacted with Cu(NO3)2·3H2O in a solvothermal process, with polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) acting as the surfactant to control the anisotropic development of creating a 2D Cu-TCPP(Ni) MOF nanosheet structure. To realize the exceptional selectivity, sensitivity, and stability of the synthesized 2D Cu-TCPP(Ni) MOF nanosheet, a laser-induced graphene electrode was modified with the MOF nanosheet and employed as a sensor for the detection of p-nitrophenol (p-NP). With a detection range of 0.5-200 μM for differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) and 0.9-300 μM for cyclic voltammetry (CV), the proposed sensor demonstrated enhanced electrochemical performance, with the limit of detection (LOD) for DPV and CV as 0.1 and 0.3 μM, respectively. The outstanding outcome of the sensor is attributed to the 2D Cu-TCPP(Ni) MOF nanosheet's substantial active surface area, innate catalytic activity, and superior adsorption capacity. Furthermore, it is anticipated that the proposed electrode sensor will make it possible to create high-performance electrochemical sensors for environmental point-of-care testing since it successfully detected p-NP in real sample analysis.
