In this work, aiming at the construction of a sensitive, disposable system for the bioanalysis of unicellular samples, we report a single cell detection electrochemical (SCDE) platform based on Au@Pt nanostructures modified boron-doped nanocrystalline diamond microelectrode arrays (BNCD-MEAs) with 16 channels. The SCDE platform could be readily adapted for a highly sensitive detection of H2O2 released from stimulated single cell by ascorbic acid (AA), which could be utilized to distinguish cancer unicellular and normal unicellular ones. The Au@Pt nanostructures have good electrocatalytic activity for the H2O2 detection and were modified in the BNCD-MEAs by Pt NPs which were electrodeposited onto the BNCD-MEAs through an electrodeposition approach. As a result, this SCDE platform exhibited a wide linear range with a low detection for H2O2 determination. Furthermore, it also displayed satisfactory selectivity, excellent stability, and good reproducibility. The developed method opens a new pathway to clinical bioassay.
