Multiplexed NMR: an automated CapNMR dual-sample probe.

ABSTRACT: A new generation of microscale, nuclear magnetic resonance (CapNMR) probe technology employs two independent detection elements to accommodate two samples simultaneously. Each detection element in the dual-sample CapNMR probe (DSP) delivers the same spectral resolution and S/N as in a CapNMR probe configured to accommodate one sample at a time. A high degree of electrical isolation allows the DSP to be used in a variety of data acquisition modes. Both samples are shimmed simultaneously to achieve high spectral resolution for simultaneous data acquisition, or alternatively, a flowcell-specific shim set is readily called via spectrometer subroutines to enable acquisition from one sample while the other is being loaded. An automation system accommodates loading of two samples via dual injection ports on an autosampler and two completely independent flowpaths leading to dedicated flowcells in the DSP probe.

Multiplexed and fully automated detection of metabolic biomarkers using microdialysis probe.

Project description:We report here, the design and development of an automated near real-time continuous detection system for lactate, glutamate, pyruvate and glucose using microdialysis probe. The system developed can automatically push perfusate through microdialysis probe (20, 100 and 1000 kDa MWCO cutoff probe) at low to medium flow rate of 0.5-2 ?L/min with almost 100% fluid recovery. The microdialysate collected from the probe is analyzed automatically for these four metabolite biomarkers. It operates in a continuous mode with measurements of all four biomarkers once every 20 min. The dynamic range for these different markers covers the entire clinical range of traumatic brain injury. The prototype shows a low variation of ~ 7-10% across the entire clinical range for all the biomarkers with fairly good accuracy of ~95%. The instrument canrun continuously for 24 h without user intervention. With a long tubing of 1 m to and from the microdialysis probe and associated dead volume, the total lag time for actual event at the probe site versusreported concentration is roughly 1 h.

Integrated impedance sensing of liquid sample plug flow enables automated high throughput NMR spectroscopy.

Project description:A novel approach for automated high throughput NMR spectroscopy with improved mass-sensitivity is accomplished by integrating microfluidic technologies and micro-NMR resonators. A flow system is utilized to transport a sample of interest from outside the NMR magnet through the NMR detector, circumventing the relatively vast dead volume in the supplying tube by loading a series of individual sample plugs separated by an immiscible fluid. This dual-phase flow demands a real-time robust sensing system to track the sample position and velocities and synchronize the NMR acquisition. In this contribution, we describe an NMR probe head that possesses a microfluidic system featuring: (i) a micro saddle coil for NMR spectroscopy and (ii) a pair of interdigitated capacitive sensors flanking the NMR detector for continuous position and velocity monitoring of the plugs with respect to the NMR detector. The system was successfully tested for automating flow-based measurement in a 500 MHz NMR system, enabling high resolution spectroscopy and NMR sensitivity of 2.18 nmol s1/2 with the flow sensors in operation. The flow sensors featured sensitivity to an absolute difference of 0.2 in relative permittivity, enabling distinction between most common solvents. It was demonstrated that a fully automated NMR measurement of nine individual 120 μL samples could be done within 3.6 min or effectively 15.3 s per sample.

Dual Screening of BPTF and Brd4 Using Protein-Observed Fluorine NMR Uncovers New Bromodomain Probe Molecules.

Project description:Bromodomain-containing protein dysregulation is linked to cancer, diabetes, and inflammation. Selective inhibition of bromodomain function is a newly proposed therapeutic strategy. We describe a (19)F NMR dual screening method for small molecule discovery using fluorinated tryptophan resonances on two bromodomain-containing proteins. The chemical shift dispersion of (19)F resonances within fluorine-labeled proteins enables the simultaneous analysis of two fluorinated bromodomains by NMR. A library of 229 small molecules was screened against the first bromodomain of Brd4 and the BPTF bromodomain. We report the first small molecule selective for BPTF over Brd4, termed AU1. The Kd = 2.8 ?M for AU1, which is active in a cell-based reporter assay. No binding is detected with Brd4. Three new Brd4 inhibitors with submicromolar affinity were also discovered. Brd4 hits were validated in a thermal stability assay and potency determined via fluorescence anisotropy. The speed, ease of interpretation, and low protein concentration needed for protein-observed (19)F NMR experiments in a multiprotein format offers a new method to discover and characterize selective ligands for bromodomain-containing proteins.

Multiplexed Electrochemical Cancer Diagnostics With Automated Microfluidics.

Project description:Microfluidic platforms can lead to miniaturisation, increased throughput and reduced reagent consumption, particularly when the processes are automated. Here, a programmable microcontroller is used for automation of a microfluidic platform configured to electrochemically determine the levels of 8 proteins simultaneously in complex liquid samples. The platform system is composed of a programmable Arduino microcontroller that controls inexpensive valve actuators, pump, magnetic stirrer and electronic display. The programmable microcontroller results in repeatable timing for each step in a complex assay protocol, such as sandwich immunoassays. Application of the platform is demonstrated using a multiplexed electrochemical immunoassay based on capture at the electrode surface of magnetic particles labelled with horseradish peroxidase and detection antibody. The multiplexed assay protocol is completed in less than 30 mins and results in detection of eight proteins associated with prostate cancer. The approach presented can be used to automate and simplify high-throughput screening campaigns, such as detection of multiple biomarkers in patient samples.

Multiplexed Enzyme Activity-Based Probe Display via Hybridization.

Project description:Emulsions offer the means to miniaturize and parallelize high-throughput screening but require a robust method to localize activity-based fluorescent probes in each droplet. Multiplexing probes in droplets is impractical, though highly desirable for identifying library members that possess very specific activity. Here, we present multiplexed probe immobilization on library beads for emulsion screening. During library bead preparation, we quantitated ∼106 primers per bead by fluorescence in situ hybridization, however emulsion PCR yielded only ∼103 gene copies per bead. We leveraged the unextended bead-bound primers to hybridize complementary probe-oligonucleotide heteroconjugates to the library beads. The probe-hybridized bead libraries were then used to program emulsion in vitro transcription/translation reactions and analyzed by FACS to perform multiplexed activity-based screening of trypsin and chymotrypsin mutant libraries for novel proteolytic specificity. The approach's modularity should permit a high degree of probe multiplexing and appears extensible to other enzyme classes and library types.

A Dual Fluorescence-Spin Label Probe for Visualization and Quantification of Target Molecules in Tissue by Multiplexed FLIM-EPR Spectroscopy.

Project description:Simultaneous visualization and concentration quantification of molecules in biological tissue is an important though challenging goal. The advantages of fluorescence lifetime imaging microscopy (FLIM) for visualization, and electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy for quantification are complementary. Their combination in a multiplexed approach promises a successful but ambitious strategy because of spin label-mediated fluorescence quenching. Here, we solved this problem and present the molecular design of a dual label (DL) compound comprising a highly fluorescent dye together with an EPR spin probe, which also renders the fluorescence lifetime to be concentration sensitive. The DL can easily be coupled to the biomolecule of choice, enabling in vivo and in vitro applications. This novel approach paves the way for elegant studies ranging from fundamental biological investigations to preclinical drug research, as shown in proof-of-principle penetration experiments in human skin ex vivo.

Automated multiplexed ECL Immunoarrays for cancer biomarker proteins.

Project description:Point-of-care diagnostics based on multiplexed protein measurements face challenges of simple, automated, low-cost, and high-throughput operation with high sensitivity. Herein, we describe an automated, microprocessor-controlled microfluidic immunoarray for simultaneous multiplexed detection of small protein panels in complex samples. A microfluidic sample/reagent delivery cassette was coupled to a 30-microwell detection array to achieve sensitive detection of four prostate cancer biomarker proteins in serum. The proteins are prostate specific antigen (PSA), prostate specific membrane antigen (PSMA), platelet factor-4 (PF-4), and interlukin-6 (IL-6). The six channel system is driven by integrated micropumps controlled by an inexpensive programmable microprocessor. The reagent delivery cassette and detection array feature channels made by precision-cut 0.8 mm silicone gaskets. Single-wall carbon nanotube forests were grown in printed microwells on a pyrolytic graphite detection chip and decorated with capture antibodies. The detection chip is housed in a machined microfluidic chamber with a steel metal shim counter electrode and Ag/AgCl reference electrode for electrochemiluminescent (ECL) measurements. The preloaded sample/reagent cassette automatically delivers samples, wash buffers, and ECL RuBPY-silica-antibody detection nanoparticles sequentially. An onboard microcontroller controls micropumps and reagent flow to the detection chamber according to a preset program. Detection employs tripropylamine, a sacrificial reductant, while applying 0.95 V vs Ag/AgCl. Resulting ECL light was measured by a CCD camera. Ultralow detection limits of 10-100 fg mL(-1) were achieved in simultaneous detection of the four protein in 36 min assays. Results for the four proteins in prostate cancer patient serum gave excellent correlation with those from single-protein ELISA.

9-Cyanopyronin probe palette for super-multiplexed vibrational imaging.

Project description:Multiplexed optical imaging provides holistic visualization on a vast number of molecular targets, which has become increasingly essential for understanding complex biological processes and interactions. Vibrational microscopy has great potential owing to the sharp linewidth of vibrational spectra. In 2017, we demonstrated the coupling between electronic pre-resonant stimulated Raman scattering (epr-SRS) microscopy with a proposed library of 9-cyanopyronin-based dyes, named Manhattan Raman Scattering (MARS). Herein, we develop robust synthetic methodology to build MARS probes with different core atoms, expansion ring numbers, and stable isotope substitutions. We discover a predictive model to correlate their vibrational frequencies with structures, which guides rational design of MARS dyes with desirable Raman shifts. An expanded library of MARS probes with diverse functionalities is constructed. When coupled with epr-SRS microscopy, these MARS probes allow us to demonstrate not only many versatile labeling modalities but also increased multiplexing capacity. Hence, this work opens up next-generation vibrational imaging with greater utilities.

Systematic reference sample generation for multiplexed serological assays.

Project description:Quality controls of serological assays have to contain defined amounts of human antibodies specific for the targeted antigen. A prevailing issue for array-based antigen assays is that dozens of antigens are targeted within the same assay. Commonly different patient sera are combined and optimal pools are empirically identified. Here, we report a mathematical approach how an optimal sample pool composition can be systematically calculated and accurately compiled. The approach was used to compose suitable quality controls for a 71 plex Tuberculosis antigen bead array using a limited number of positive human sera.
