Abstract

It is reported the development of a polycarbazole-based organic photodetector for chemiluminescent immunoassays. The optical detector comprised a 1-4 blend by weight of poly [N-9′-heptadecanyl-2,7-carbazole-alt-5,5- (4′,7′-di-2-thienyl-2′,1′,3′-benzothiadiazole)] (PCDTBT) and [6,6]-phenyl C71-butyric acid methyl ester (PC 70BM). Optimization of the photodetector design was conducted aiming to maximize photosensitivity and reduce the background level. Quantitation of recombinant human thyroid stimulating hormone indicated good linearity and yielded a detection sensitivity of ∼3.7 nA × nM-1 and a detection limit of 80 pg/ml.
