Double-Layer Magnetic Nanoparticle-Embedded Silica Particles for Efficient Bio-Separation.

ABSTRACT: Superparamagnetic Fe3O4 nanoparticles (NPs) based nanomaterials have been exploited in various biotechnology fields including biomolecule separation. However, slow accumulation of Fe3O4 NPs by magnets may limit broad applications of Fe3O4 NP-based nanomaterials. In this study, we report fabrication of Fe3O4 NPs double-layered silica nanoparticles (DL MNPs) with a silica core and highly packed Fe3O4 NPs layers. The DL MNPs had a superparamagnetic property and efficient accumulation kinetics under an external magnetic field. Moreover, the magnetic field-exposed DL MNPs show quantitative accumulation, whereas Fe3O4 NPs single-layered silica nanoparticles (SL MNPs) and silica-coated Fe3O4 NPs produced a saturated plateau under full recovery of the NPs. DL MNPs are promising nanomaterials with great potential to separate and analyze biomolecules.

Mesoporous silica-protected silver nanoparticle disinfectant with controlled Ag<sup>+</sup> ion release, efficient magnetic separation, and effective antibacterial activity.

Project description:Ag is the most effective metal disinfectant against pathogenic microorganisms and thus, various approaches have been exploited to enhance the dispersity and control the release of Ag+ ions from Ag nanoparticles. In this study, a superparamagnetic Fe3O4@SiO2@Ag@porous SiO2 disinfectant with a double-layer core-shell structure was developed. Its superparamagnetic Fe3O4 nanosphere core ensured its good dispersity in water and allowed its easy magnetic separation after treatment. Its dense SiO2 inner shell protected the Fe3O4 nanosphere core and allowed a good loading of Ag nanoparticles. Its mesoporous SiO2 outer layer effectively protected the Ag nanoparticles from detachment, and its mesoporous channels resulted in lower silver oxidation and dissolution for the controlled release of Ag+ ions. Thus, a highly efficient, silver-based disinfectant was developed, as demonstrated by its effective disinfection of Escherichia coli bacteria with good recycle performance, while the silver concentration in the treated water met the MCL of silver for drinking water.

Magnetic phase separation in double layer ruthenates Ca3(Ru(1-x)Ti(x))2O7.

Project description:A phase transition from metallic AFM-b antiferromagnetic state to Mott insulating G-type antiferromagnetic (G-AFM) state was found in Ca3(Ru(1-x)Ti(x))2O7 at about x = 0.03 in our previous work. In the present, we focused on the study of the magnetic transition near the critical composition through detailed magnetization measurements. There is no intermediate magnetic phases between the AFM-b and G-AFM states, which is in contrasted to manganites where a similar magnetic phase transition takes place through the presence of several intermediate magnetic phases. The AFM-b-to-G-AFM transition in Ca3(Ru(1-x)Ti(x))2O7 happens through a phase separation process in the 2-5% Ti range, whereas similar magnetic transitions in manganites are tuned by 50-70% chemical substitutions. We discussed the possible origin of such an unusual magnetic transition and compared with that in manganites.

Bioenhanced degradation of toluene by layer-by-layer self-assembled silica-based bio-microcapsules.

Project description:In this study, micron-sized monodisperse SiO2 microspheres were used as sacrificial templates, and chitosan/polylactic acid (CTS/PLA) bio-microcapsules were produced using the layer-by-layer (LBL) assembly method. Microcapsules isolate bacteria from their surroundings, forming a separate microenvironment and greatly improving microorganisms' ability to adapt to adverse environmental conditions. Morphology observation indicated that the pie-shaped bio-microcapsules with a certain thickness could be successfully prepared through LBL assembly method. Surface analysis showed that the LBL bio-microcapsules (LBMs) had large fractions of mesoporous. The biodegradation experiments of toluene and the determination of toluene degrading enzyme activity were also carried out under external adverse environmental conditions (i.e., unsuitable initial concentrations of toluene, pH, temperature, and salinity). The results showed that the removal rate of toluene by LBMs can basically reach more than 90% in 2 days under adverse environmental conditions, which is significantly higher than that of free bacteria. In particular, the removal rate of toluene by LBMs can reach four times that of free bacteria at pH 3, which indicates that LBMs maintain a high level of operational stability for toluene degradation. Flow cytometry analysis showed that LBL microcapsules could effectively reduce the death rate of the bacteria. The results of the enzyme activity assay showed that the enzyme activity was significantly stronger in the LBMs system than in the free bacteria system under the same unfavorable external environmental conditions. In conclusion, the LBMs were more adaptable to the uncertain external environment, which provided a feasible bioremediation strategy for the treatment of organic contaminants in actual groundwater.

Submicron Nonporous Silica Particles for Enhanced Separation Performance in pCEC.

Project description:Applications of submicron-scale particles are of rising interest in separation science due to their favorable surface-to-volume ratio and their fabrication of highly ordered structures. The uniformly dense packing beds in columns assembled from nanoparticles combined with an electroosmotic flow-driven system has great potential in a highly efficient separation system. Here, we packed capillary columns using a gravity method with synthesized nanoscale C18-SiO2 particles having diameters of 300-900 nm. The separation of small molecules and proteins was evaluated in the packed columns on a pressurized capillary electrochromatography platform. The run-to-run reproducibility regarding retention time and peak area for the PAHs using a column packed with 300 nm C18-SiO2 particles were less than 1.61% and 3.17%, respectively. Our study exhibited a systematic separation analysis of small molecules and proteins based on the columns packed with submicron particles combined with the pressurized capillary electrochromatography (pCEC) platform. This study may provide a promising analytical approach with extraordinary column efficiency, resolution, and speed for the separation of complex samples.

Quantitative Magnetic Separation of Particles and Cells Using Gradient Magnetic Ratcheting.

Project description:Extraction of rare target cells from biosamples is enabling for life science research. Traditional rare cell separation techniques, such as magnetic activated cell sorting, are robust but perform coarse, qualitative separations based on surface antigen expression. A quantitative magnetic separation technology is reported using high-force magnetic ratcheting over arrays of magnetically soft micropillars with gradient spacing, and the system is used to separate and concentrate magnetic beads based on iron oxide content (IOC) and cells based on surface expression. The system consists of a microchip of permalloy micropillar arrays with increasing lateral pitch and a mechatronic device to generate a cycling magnetic field. Particles with higher IOC separate and equilibrate along the miropillar array at larger pitches. A semi-analytical model is developed that predicts behavior for particles and cells. Using the system, LNCaP cells are separated based on the bound quantity of 1 μm anti-epithelial cell adhesion molecule (EpCAM) particles as a metric for expression. The ratcheting cytometry system is able to resolve a ±13 bound particle differential, successfully distinguishing LNCaP from PC3 populations based on EpCAM expression, correlating with flow cytometry analysis. As a proof-of-concept, EpCAM-labeled cells from patient blood are isolated with 74% purity, demonstrating potential toward a quantitative magnetic separation instrument.

Silver Nanoparticle-Embedded Thin Silica-Coated Graphene Oxide as an SERS Substrate.

Project description:A hybrid of Ag nanoparticle (NP)-embedded thin silica-coated graphene oxide (GO@SiO₂@Ag NPs) was prepared as a surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) substrate. A 6 nm layer of silica was successfully coated on the surface of GO by the physical adsorption of sodium silicate, followed by the hydrolysis of 3-mercaptopropyl trimethoxysilane. Ag NPs were introduced onto the thin silica-coated graphene oxide by the reduction of Ag⁺ to prepare GO@SiO₂@Ag NPs. The GO@SiO₂@Ag NPs exhibited a 1.8-fold enhanced Raman signal compared to GO without a silica coating. The GO@SiO₂@Ag NPs showed a detection limit of 4-mercaptobenzoic acid (4-MBA) at 0.74 μM.

Gadolinium-Coated Mesoporous Silica Nanoparticle for Magnetic Resonance Imaging.

Project description:Magnetic resonance molecular imaging can provide anatomic, functional and molecular information. However, because of the intrinsically low sensitivity of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), high-performance MRI contrast agents are required to generate powerful image information for image diagnosis. Herein, we describe a novel T 1 contrast agent with magnetic-imaging properties facilitated by the gadolinium oxide (Gd2O3) doping of mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSN). The size, morphology, composition, MRI relaxivity (r 1 ), surface area and pore size of these nanoparticles were evaluated following their conjugation with Gd2O3 to produce Gd2O3@MSN. This unique structure led to a significant enhancement in T 1 contrast with longitudinal relaxivity (r 1 ) as high as 51.85 ± 1.38 mM-1s-1. Gd2O3@MSN has a larger T 1 relaxivity than commercial gadolinium diethylene triamine pentaacetate (Gd-DTPA), likely due to the geometrical confinement effect of silica nanoparticles. These results suggest that we could successfully prepare a novel high-performance T 1 contrast agent, which may be a potential candidate for in-vivo MRI.

Size-selective separation of DNA fragments by using lysine-functionalized silica particles.

Project description:In this work, a facile and efficient approach has been demonstrated for size-selective separation of DNA fragments by using lysine-functionalized silica particles. At a given pH, the environmental ionic strength can be utilized to alter the electrostatic interactions of lysine-functionalized silica particles with DNA fragments and in turn the DNA fragments on the silica particle surfaces, which exhibits a clear dependence on the DNA fragment sizes. By carefully adjusting the environmental pH and salt concentration, therefore, the use of the lysine-functionalized silica particles allows effective separation of binary and ternary DNA mixtures, for example, two different DNA fragments with sizes of 101 and 1073?bp, 101 and 745?bp, 101 and 408?bp, respectively, and three different DNA fragments with sizes of 101, 408 and 1073?bp.

Movable Layer Device for Rapid Detection of Influenza a H1N1 Virus Using Highly Bright Multi-Quantum Dot-Embedded Particles and Magnetic Beads.

Project description:Preventing the rapid spread of viral infectious diseases has become a major concern for global health. In this study, we present a microfluidic platform that performs an immunoassay of viral antigens in a simple, automated, yet highly sensitive manner. The device uses silica particles embedded with highly bright quantum dots (QD2) and performs the immunoassay with a vertically movable top layer and a rotating bottom layer. Through the motion of the layers and the surface tension in the liquids, reagents move from top chambers to bottom chambers and mix homogeneously. A tip in the top layer with a mobile permanent magnet moves the immune complexes comprising the magnetic beads, virus particles, and QD2 between the bottom chambers. In this way, our automated device achieves a highly sensitive magnetic bead-based sandwich immunoassay for the influenza A H1N1 virus within 32.5 min. The detection limit of our method is 5.1 × 10-4 hemagglutination units, which is 2 × 103 times more sensitive than that of the conventional hemagglutination method and is comparable to PCR. Our device is useful for the rapid and sensitive detection of infectious diseases in point-of-care applications and resource-limited environments.

In Caenorhabditis elegans nanoparticle-bio-interactions become transparent: silica-nanoparticles induce reproductive senescence.

Project description:While expectations and applications of nanotechnologies grow exponentially, little is known about interactions of engineered nanoparticles with multicellular organisms. Here we propose the transparent roundworm Caenorhabditis elegans as a simple but anatomically and biologically well defined animal model that allows for whole organism analyses of nanoparticle-bio-interactions. Microscopic techniques showed that fluorescently labelled nanoparticles are efficiently taken up by the worms during feeding, and translocate to primary organs such as epithelial cells of the intestine, as well as secondary organs belonging to the reproductive tract. The life span of nanoparticle-fed Caenorhabditis elegans remained unchanged, whereas a reduction of progeny production was observed in silica-nanoparticle exposed worms versus untreated controls. This reduction was accompanied by a significant increase of the 'bag of worms' phenotype that is characterized by failed egg-laying and usually occurs in aged wild type worms. Experimental exclusion of developmental defects suggests that silica-nanoparticles induce an age-related degeneration of reproductive organs, and thus set a research platform for both, detailed elucidation of molecular mechanisms and high throughput screening of different nanomaterials by analyses of progeny production.
