An innovative application of time-domain spectroscopy on localized surface plasmon resonance sensing.

ABSTRACT: White-light scanning interferometry (WLSI) is often used to study the surface profiles and properties of thin films because the strength of the technique lies in its ability to provide fast and high resolution measurements. An innovative attempt is made in this paper to apply WLSI as a time-domain spectroscopic system for localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) sensing. A WLSI-based spectrometer is constructed with a breadboard of WLSI in combination with a spectral centroid algorithm for noise reduction and performance improvement. Experimentally, the WLSI-based spectrometer exhibits a limit of detection (LOD) of 1.2 × 10^-3 refractive index units (RIU), which is better than that obtained with a conventional UV-Vis spectrometer, by resolving the LSPR peak shift. Finally, the bio-applicability of the proposed spectrometer was investigated using the rs242557 tau gene, an Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease biomarker. The LOD was calculated as 15 pM. These results demonstrate that the proposed WLSI-based spectrometer could become a sensitive time-domain spectroscopic biosensing platform.

Project description:A green, quick and sensitive spectrofluorimetric technique was investigated and validated for the assay of three different drugs namely, ketoprofen (KPN), paracetamol (PAR), and chlorzoxazone (CLX). The method is based on fluorescence quenching of the fluorescence probe, silver nanoparticles (SNPs). The fluorescence quenching of SNPs may be attributed to the complexation between each of the studied drugs with SNPs. The fluorescence of SNPs alone or after complexation with the studied drugs were measured at 485 nm (λ ex 242 nm) without the need to extract the formed complex. Chemical reduction was employed for preparing SNPs, where silver nitrate was reduced by sodium borohydride in deionized water without adding organic stabilizer. SNPs were found soluble in water, had high stability and had a narrow emission band. The studied drugs were found to decrease the fluorescence of SNPs significantly through static quenching according to Stern-Volmer equation. Factors affecting the reaction between the drugs and NPs were carefully examined and optimized. Using the optimum conditions, the difference in the fluorescence intensity of SNPs before and after complexation with the studied drugs was in a good linear relationship with the concentration of the studied drugs, where (R 2 = 0.9998, 0.9998 and 0.9991) in the ranges of 0.5-5.0, 0.15-3.0 and 0.5-9.0 μg mL-1 for KPN, PAR and CLX, respectively. Validity of the proposed method was investigated according to ICH recommendations. The proposed technique was also employed for the analysis of each of the three drugs in commercial or laboratory prepared tablets and in spiked human plasma with very good recoveries as well as high level of accuracy and precision. This method was intended to the analysis of the proposed drugs in their single formulation and single drug administration. The suggested technique is considered an eco-friendly method, as it uses water as the safest and least expensive solvent. Moreover, the recommended technique does not involve solvent extraction of the formed complexes. Greenness assessment of the suggested procedure was accomplished by applying the four standard assessment tools. Consequently, the recommended method can be used in the routine quality control analysis of the cited drugs with minimum harmful effect on the environment as well as the individuals.
