Abstract

In this work, a pendant droplet-based sensor is developed for the rapid and label-free detection of acetylcholinesterase (AChE) and its inhibitors. The detection limit of AChE reaches 0.17 mU mL. The pIC values of AChE inhibitors such as neostigmine, rivastigmine and galantamine are determined to be 0.45 μM, 0.64 μM and 4.93 μM, respectively.
