This study proposes a highly sensitive and label-free electrochemical immunosensor that can simultaneously detect Phalaenopsis virus, Odontoglossum ringspot virus (ORSV) and Cymbidium mosaic virus (CymMV). First, a microhemisphere array nickel mold was made using the semiconductor lithography process combined with the electroforming process. Afterward, hot embossing was used to print the microhemisphere array on a polyethylene terephthalate film. Then, to prepare the detection electrode with a nano/micro-hybrid structure, a thin gold film was sputtered on the microhemisphere array surface, followed by successively immobilizing 1,6-hexanedithiol and colloidal gold nanoparticles on the surface of the gold film. Finally, the ORSV and CymMV antibodies were mixed and immobilized on the electrode using the self-assembled monolayer method to prepare the two-in-one sensing electrode. The ORSV and CymMV were simultaneously detected using electrochemical differential pulse voltammetry. The biosensor developed in this study has a detection limit of 0.5 ng/mL. Notably, the virus can be detected even after diluting the sap of the infected leaf 100 times.
