Naked-Eye Detection of Glucose in Saliva with Bienzymatic Paper-Based Sensor.

ABSTRACT: The high incidence of Diabetes Mellitus in low-income regions has promoted the development of low-cost alternatives to replace blood-based procedures. In this work, we present a bienzymatic paper-based sensor suitable for the naked-eye detection of glucose in saliva samples. The sensor was obtained by a stamping procedure and modified with chitosan to improve the colorimetric readout. The bienzymatic reaction of GOx-HRP coupled with 2,4,6-tribromo-3-hydroxy benzoic acid was applied for the detection of glucose within a range from 0 to 180 mgdL^-1 in buffer and artificial saliva solutions. The visual readout was perceived by the naked eye and registered with an office scanner to evaluate the analytical performance. The results showed a limit of detection of 0.37 mgdL^-1 (S/N = 3) with an R.S.D. of 1.69% and a linear range from 1 to 22.5 mgdL^-1 with an R² of 0.99235. The analysis of human saliva samples was performed without pre-processing, achieving recoveries from 92 to 114%. The naked-eye detection was evaluated under two different light settings, showing average recoveries of 108.58 and 90.65% for standard and low illumination. The proposed device showed potential for easy-to-use, sensitive, low-cost, fast, and device-free detection of salivary glucose suitable for untrained personnel operation and limited facilities.

Project description:Arsenic (As) as a metal ion has long-term toxicity and its presence in water poses a serious threat to the environment and human health. So, rapid and accurate recognition of traces of As is of particular importance in environmental and natural resources. In this study, a fast and sensitive colorimetric method was developed using silver nano prisms (Ag NPrs), cysteine-capped Ag NPrs, and methionine-capped Ag NPrs for accurate detection of arsenic-based on transforming the morphology of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs). The generated Ag atoms from the redox reaction of silver nitrate and As(iii) were deposited on the surface of Ag NPrs and their morphology changed to a circle. The morphological changes resulted in a change in the color of the nanoparticles from blue to purple, which was detectable by the naked eye. The rate of change was proportional to the concentration of arsenic. The changes were also confirmed using UV-Vis absorption spectra and showed a linear relationship between the change in adsorption peak and the concentration of arsenic in the range of 0.0005 to 1 ppm with a lower limit of quantification (LLOQ) of 0.0005 ppm. The proposed probes were successfully used to determine the amount of As(iii) in human urine samples. In addition, modified microfluidic substrates were fabricated with Ag NPrs, Cys-capped Ag NPrs, and methionine-capped Ag NPrs nanoparticles that are capable of arsenic detection in the long-time and can be used in the development of on-site As(iii) detection kits. In addition, silver nanowires (AgNWs) were used as a probe to detect arsenic, but good results were not obtained in human urine specimens and paper microfluidic platforms. In this study, for the first time, AgNPs were developed for optical colorimetric detection of arsenic using paper-based microfluidics. Ag NPrs performed best in both optical and colorimetric techniques. Therefore, they can be a promising option for the development of sensitive, inexpensive, and portable tools in the environmental and biomedical diagnosis of As(iii).

Project description:Dapoxetine (DPX) belongs to the selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) class and functions by blocking the serotonin transporter and increasing serotonin activity, thereby delaying ejaculation. Therefore, monitoring of the concentration of DPX in human biofluids is important for clinicians. In this study, application of silver nanoparticles with the morphology of prisms (AgNPrs) for the sensitive measurement of DPX using colorimetric chemosensing and the spectrophotometric method was investigated. Also, DPX was determined in real samples using the spectrophotometry method. Based on the obtained results, all of the detection process in colorimetric assay is related to morphological reform of AgNPrs after it's specific electrostatic and covalent interaction with DPX as analyte. The UV-vis results indicate that the proposed AgNPrs-based chemosensing system has a wide range of linearity (0.01 μM to 1 mM) with a low limit of quantification of 0.01 μM in human urine samples, which is suitable for clinical analysis of this drug in human urine samples. It is important to point out that, this chemosensing strategy showed inappropriate analytical results for the detection of DPX in human urine samples which is a novelty of this platform. Finally, the optimized microfluidic paper-based analytical device (μPAD) was integrated with the colorimetric analysis of DPX to provide a time/color system for estimating analyte concentration by a portable substrate toward in situ and on-site biomedical analysis. Interestingly, the analytical validation tests showed appropriate results with great stability, which may facilitate commercialization of the engineered substrate. For the first time, in order to provide a simple and portable colorimetric/spectrophotometric recognition system to sensitive determination of DPX, an optimized pump-less microfluidic paper-based colorimetric device (μPCD) was introduced and validated for the real-time biomedical analysis of this analyte. According to the obtained results, this alternative approach is suitable for therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) and biomedical analysis by miniaturized and cost-beneficial devices.
