Highly Sensitive Detection of Clenbuterol in Animal Urine Using Immunomagnetic Bead Treatment and Surface-Enhanced Raman Spectroscopy.

ABSTRACT: Combining surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) of aggregated graphene oxide/gold nanoparticle hybrids with immunomagnetic bead sample preparation method, a highly sensitive strategy to determine the clenbuterol content in animal urine was developed. Based on a linear calibration curve of the SERS characteristic peak intensity of clenbuterol at ?v?=?1474?cm(-1) versus the spiked clenbuterol concentration in the range of 0.5-20?ng·mL(-1), the quantity of clenbuterol in real animal urine samples can be determined and matches well with those determined by LC-MS/MS, while the detection time is significantly reduced to 15?min/sample. The limits of detection and quantification in the urine are 0.5?ng·mL(-1) and 1?ng·mL(-1), respectively, and the recovery clenbuterol rates are 82.8-92.4% with coefficients of variation <9.4%. The day-to-day variation of the detection is less than 6.41%, and the shelving life of the SERS substrates is no less than 4 weeks. All these indicate that this proposed SERS detection protocol for clenbuterol is reproducible, reliable, and can be easily developed for the routine monitoring of the illicit use of clenbuterol in animal farming.

Project description:We report the demonstration of an optofluidic surface enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) device that leverages a nanoporous microfluidic matrix to improve the SERS detection performance by more than two orders of magnitude as compared to a typical open microfluidic channel. Although it is a growing trend to integrate optical biosensors into microfluidic channels, this basic combination has been detrimental to the sensing performance when applied to SERS. Recently, however, synergistic combinations between microfluidic functions and photonics (i.e., optofluidics) have been implemented that improve the detection performance of SERS. Conceptually, the simplest optofluidic SERS techniques reported to date utilize a single nanofluidic channel to trap nanoparticle-analyte conjugates as a method of preconcentration before detection. In this work, we leverage this paradigm while improving upon the simplicity by forming a 3D nanofluidic network with packed nanoporous silica microspheres in a microfluidic channel; this creates a concentration matrix that traps silver nanoclusters and adsorbed analytes into the SERS detection volume. With this approach, we are able to achieve a detection limit of 400 attomoles of Rhodamine 6G after only 2 min of sample loading with high chip-to-chip repeatability. Due to the high number of fluidic paths in the nanoporous channel, this approach is less prone to clogging than single nanofluidic inlets, and the loading time is decreased compared to previous reports. In addition, fabrication of this microsystem is quite simple, as nanoscale fabrication is not necessary. Finally, integrated multimode fiber optic cables eliminate the need for optical alignment, and thus the device is relevant for portable and automated applications in the field, including point-of-sample and point-of-care detection. To illustrate a relevant field-based application, we demonstrate the detection of 12 ppb of the organophosphate malathion in water using the nanofluidic SERS microsystem.
