Carbon nanoparticles with oligonucleotide probes for a label-free sensitive antibiotic residues detection based on competitive analysis.

ABSTRACT: Carbon nanoparticles (CNPs) have been combined with aptamer, providing a broad application in small molecule. CNPs can be quenched by small molecules and are usually applied as luminescent probes because of their photophysical characteristics. In this work, we developed a competitive analysis for antibiotic residues detection based on carbon nanoparticles (CNPs) and oligonucleotide probes. Oligonucleotide probes including oxytetracycline (OTC) aptamer was exploited for recognition OTC and was used to restore the luminescence. Tetracycline (TC), as a competitor of OTC, was utilized to quench the luminescence of CNPs and reduce the sample matrix effect. Under optimal conditions, the linear rang of OTC was 0.010~1.0?ng/mL with the relative standard deviations (RSDs) from 2.91% to 11.3%, and the limit of detection (LOD) was low to 0.002?ng/mL. Moreover, the proposal was successfully applied to analyze OTC from drink water, indicating that this approach has great potential for other small molecule analysis.

A Label-Free Liquid Crystal Biosensor Based on Specific DNA Aptamer Probes for Sensitive Detection of Amoxicillin Antibiotic.

Project description:We developed a liquid crystal (LC) aptamer biosensor for the sensitive detection of amoxicillin (AMX). The AMX aptamer was immobilized onto the surface of a glass slide modified with a mixed self-assembled layer of dimethyloctadecyl [3-(trimethoxysilyl) propyl] ammonium chloride (DMOAP) and (3-aminopropyl) triethoxysilane (APTES). The long alkyl chains of DMOAP maintained the LC molecules in a homeotropic orientation and induced a dark optical appearance under a polarized light microscope (POM). In the presence of AMX, the specific binding of the aptamer and AMX molecules induced a conformational change in the aptamers, leading to the disruption of the homeotropic orientation of LCs, resulting in a bright optical appearance. The developed aptasensor showed high specificity and a low detection limit of 3.5 nM. Moreover, the potential application of the developed aptasensor for the detection of AMX in environmental samples was also demonstrated. Therefore, the proposed aptasensor is a promising platform for simple, rapid, and label-free monitoring of AMX in an actual water environment with high selectivity and sensitivity.

Label-free biosensing with functionalized nanopipette probes.

Project description:Nanopipette technology can uniquely identify biomolecules such as proteins based on differences in size, shape, and electrical charge. These differences are determined by the detection of changes in ionic current as the proteins interact with the nanopipette tip coated with probe molecules. Here we show that electrostatic, biotin-streptavidin, and antibody-antigen interactions on the nanopipette tip surface affect ionic current flowing through a 50-nm pore. Highly charged polymers interacting with the glass surface modulated the rectification property of the nanopipette electrode. Affinity-based binding between the probes tethered to the surface and their target proteins caused a change in the ionic current due to a partial blockade or an altered surface charge. These findings suggest that nanopipettes functionalized with appropriate molecular recognition elements can be used as nanosensors in biomedical and biological research.

Highly sensitive and selective label-free optical detection of mercuric ions using photon upconverting nanoparticles.

Project description:We demonstrate a fluorescence-based, label-free detection scheme that reports the presence of Hg(II) ion using photon upconverting nanoparticles. A single-stranded DNA containing a number of thymine bases to be used as the Hg(2+)-capturing element is covalently attached to the photon upconverting NaYF(4):Yb(3+),Tm(3+) nanoparticles. Under the illumination of 980 nm laser, energy transfer takes place between the NaYF(4):Yb(3+),Tm(3+) nanoparticles as the donor and SYBR Green I, a DNA intercalating dye, as the acceptor. By monitoring the ratio of the acceptor emission to the donor emission, we can quantitatively detect the presence of the mercuric ions with a directly observed detection limit of 0.06 nM. The remarkably high signal-to-noise ratio of photon upconverting particles leads to very high sensitivity and specificity without the need of fluorophore labeling. The sensor also does not suffer from photobleaching.

Optimization of the Electrodeposition of Gold Nanoparticles for the Application of Highly Sensitive, Label-Free Biosensor.

Project description:A highly sensitive electrochemical biosensor with a signal amplification platform of electrodeposited gold nanoparticle (AuNP) has been developed and characterized. The sizes of the synthesized AuNP were found to be critical for the performance of biosensor in which the sizes were dependent on HAuCl? and acid concentrations; as well as on scan cycles and scan rates in the gold electro-reduction step. Systematic investigations of the adsorption of proteins with different sizes from aqueous electrolyte solution onto the electrodeposited AuNP surface were performed with a potentiometric method and calibrated by design of experiment (DOE). The resulting amperometric glucose biosensors was demonstrated to have a low detection limit (> 50?M) and a wide linear range after optimization with AuNP electrodeposition.

Highly Sensitive Colorimetric Biosensor for Staphylococcal Enterotoxin B by a Label-Free Aptamer and Gold Nanoparticles.

Project description:A simple, sensitive and selective colorimetric biosensor for the detection of Staphylococcal enterotoxin B (SEB) was developed using SEB-binding aptamer (SEB2) as recognition element and unmodified gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) as colorimetric probes. The assay is based on color change from red to purple due to conformational change of aptamer in the presence of SEB, and the phenomenon of salt-induced AuNPs aggregation which could be monitored by naked eye or UV-vis spectrometer. Results showed that the AuNPs can effectively differentiate the SEB induced conformational change of the aptamer in the presence of a given high salt concentration. A linear response in the range of 50 μg/mL to 0.5 ng/mL of SEB concentration was obtained. The assay was highly specific to SEB as compared to other related toxins. The limit of detection (LOD) of SEB achieved within few minutes was 50 ng/mL visually and spectrometric method improved it to 0.5 ng/mL. Robustness of the assay was tested in artificially spiked milk samples and cross-checked using in house developed sandwich ELISA (IgY as capturing and SEB specific monoclonal as revealing antibody) and PCR. This colorimetric assay could be a suitable alternative over existing methods during biological emergencies due to its simplicity, sensitive and cost effectiveness.

Hybrid semiconducting polymer nanoparticles as polarization-sensitive fluorescent probes.

Project description:Much work has been done on collapsed chains of conjugated semiconducting polymers and their applications as fluorescent probes or sensors. On surfaces spin-coated with semiconducting polymers, excitation energy transfer along the polymer backbone can be used to quickly and efficiently funnel energy to chromophores with localized energy minima. If each chromophore is immobilized within its matrix, this can result in a large fluorescence anisotropy. Through nanoprecipitation of a matrix polymer blended at low mass ratios with short-chain, hydrophobic, fluorescent semiconducting polymers, we took advantage of this large fluorescence anisotropy to make polarization-sensitive nanoparticles (NPs). These NPs are small (~7 nm in diameter), exhibit a high quantum yield of 0.75, and are easily functionalized to bind to protein targets. Excitation of the NPs with polarized light on a wide-field fluorescence microscope enabled monitoring of both protein location and changes in protein orientation.

Towards a target label-free suboptimum oligonucleotide displacement-based detection system.

Project description:A novel method for the future development of label-free DNA sensors is proposed here. The approach is based on the displacement of a labelled suboptimum mutated oligonucleotide hybridised with the immobilised biotin-capture probe. The target fully complementary to the biotin-capture probe can displace the labelled oligonucleotide causing a subsequent decrease of the signal that verifies the presence of the target. The decrease of signal was demonstrated to be proportional to the target concentration. A study of the hybridisation of mutated and complementary labelled oligonucleotides with an immobilised biotin-capture probe was carried out. Different kinetic and thermodynamic behaviour was observed for heterogeneous hybridisation of biotin-capture probe with complementary or suboptimum oligonucleotides. The displacement method evaluated colourimetrically achieved the objective of decreasing the response time from 1 h for direct hybridisation of 19-mer oligonucleotides in the direct enzyme-linked oligonucleotide assay (ELONA) to 5 min in the case of displacement detection in the micromolar concentration range.

Diversely positive-charged gold nanoparticles based biosensor: A label-free and sensitive tool for foodborne pathogen detection.

Project description:Gold nanoparticles (AuNPs)-based lateral flow strip (LFS) enables a quick screening of foodborne bacteria in point-of-care (POC) diagnostics but suffers from the cumbersome labeling of antibodies and poor sensitive performance. Here, we innovated a label-free immunoassay to detect pathogenic bacteria by introducing diversely positive charges functionalized AuNPs ((+) AuNPs). The (+) AuNPs can be loaded on negatively charged bacteria via electrostatic interaction, leading to a color labeling to target bacteria. Afterward, the (+) AuNPs-bacteria complex can be specifically captured by monoclonal antibody (McAb) immobilized on test (T)-line. Under optimum conditions, the proposed LFS exhibited a lowest detectable concentration of 103?CFU/mL for Salmonella enteritidis (S. enteritidis) and could be well applied in drinking water, lettuce and pork samples. Moreover, this novel (+) AuNPs-LFS possessed a universal applicability, which could also be used for detecting Escherichia coli O157 (E. coli O157) with a superior sensitivity (104?CFU/mL) and specificity.

Label-free ferrohydrodynamic separation of exosome-like nanoparticles.

Project description:Isolation of exosomes from biological samples provides a minimally-invasive alternative for basic understanding, diagnosis, and prognosis of metastatic cancers. The biology and clinical values of exosomes are under intensive investigation, yet most studies are limited by technical challenges in recovering these exosomes with heterogeneous sizes and cargos from biological samples. We report a novel method based on "particle ferrohydrodynamics" and its associated microfluidic device, termed as the FerroChip, which can separate exosome-like nanoparticles from microliters of cell culture media and human serum in a label-free, continuous-flow and size-dependent manner, and achieves a high recovery rate (94.3%) and a high purity (87.9%). Separated exosome-like nanoparticles had diameters, morphology, and protein expressions that were consistent with other reports. This method, upon further molecular characterization, could potentially facilitate basic understanding of exosomes and its clinical application in blood liquid biopsy.

Thiol-free oligonucleotide surface modification of gold nanoparticles for nanostructure assembly.

Project description:Gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) decorated with thiol-modified DNA (HS-DNA) strands are an extensively studied, easily adjustable, and highly controllable material for constructing 3D nanostructures with various shapes and functions. However, few reproducible and robust methods involving DNA templates as a key reagent are available for obtaining 3D nanoparticle assemblies. It is still challenging to strictly control the number and location of DNA strands on the AuNP surface. Here, we introduce an efficient approach for the surface modification of AuNPs using unmodified DNA oligonucleotides by building DNA cages that trap the nanoparticles. This enables us to vary the process of nanostructure assembly and create anisotropic nanoparticles that are necessary for directed structure construction. This developed method simplifies the production process in comparison with conventional HS-DNA modification protocols and helps to precisely control the density and position of functional DNA strands designed for further hybridization with other AuNP conjugates.
