Enzyme-based platforms attract attention for heavy metal detection such as silver, a toxic metal, due to being small, portable, and requiring only essential equipment compared with the basic analytical methods. In this study, magnetic cross-linked invertase aggregates (MCLIA) were developed for the first time as an enzyme-based signaling platform to detect Ag+ using a personal glucose meter (PGM). EDX, FTIR, and VSM results depicted that MCLIA was successfully developed and exhibits super-paramagnetism. In addition, MCLIA selectively detected the Ag+ at a sensitivity of 1.2 inhibition rate/mu M in a linear range from 5 to 70 mu M with a detection limit of 4.6 mu M and IC50 value of 42.3 mu M. These findings strongly indicate that MCLIA is applicable as a signal platform for portable quantification of other analytes that inhibits the invertase enzyme.EnglishArticle1096-0309
