Resorcinol Functionalized Gold Nanoparticles for Formaldehyde Colorimetric Detection.

ABSTRACT: Gold nanoparticles functionalized with resorcinol moieties have been prepared and used for detecting formaldehyde both in solution and gas phases. The detection mechanism is based on the color change of the probe upon the aggregation of the nanoparticles induced by the polymerization of the resorcinol moieties in the presence of formaldehyde. A limit of detection of 0.5 ppm in solution has been determined. The probe can be deployed for the detection of formaldehyde emissions from composite wood boards.

Facile synthesis of antibiotic-functionalized gold nanoparticles for colorimetric bacterial detection.

Project description:The development of quick and efficient methods for the detection of pathogenic bacteria is urgently needed for the diagnosis of infectious diseases and the control of microbiological contamination in global waterways, potable water sources and the food industry. This contribution will describe the synthesis of gold nanoparticles and their conjugation to broad spectrum, polypeptide and β-lactam antibiotics that function as both reducing agents and surface protectants (ATB@AuNP). Nanoparticle colloids examined using transmission electron microscopy are generally spherical in shape and range from 2-50 nm in size. Dynamic light scattering and infrared spectroscopy were also used to confirm encapsulation of the AuNP surface by antibiotic molecules. ATB@AuNP were then used to detect 3 common pathogenic bacterial species: Staphylococcus aureus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Escherichia coli. The colour of the AuNP colloid was monitored visually and using UV-visible spectroscopy. A red shift of the UV visible absorbance and a visible colour change following introduction of each pathogen is indicative of ATB binding to the bacteria surface, ascribed to AuNP agglomeration. This work demonstrates that ATB@AuNP may be an efficient and high throughput tool for the rapid detection of common bacterial contaminants.

Highly Sensitive and Selective Colorimetric Detection of Methylmercury Based on DNA Functionalized Gold Nanoparticles.

Project description:A new colorimetric detection of methylmercury (CH?Hg?) was developed, which was based on the surface deposition of Hg enhancing the catalytic activity of gold nanoparticles (AuNPs). The AuNPs were functionalized with a specific DNA strand (HT7) recognizing CH?Hg?, which was used to capture and separate CH?Hg? by centrifugation. It was found that the CH?Hg? reduction resulted in the deposition of Hg onto the surface of AuNPs. As a result, the catalytic activity of the AuNPs toward the chromogenic reaction of 3,3,5,5-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB)-H?O? was remarkably enhanced. Under optimal conditions, a limit of detection of 5.0 nM was obtained for CH?Hg? with a linear range of 10?200 nM. We demonstrated that the colorimetric method was fairly simple with a low cost and can be conveniently applied to CH?Hg? detection in environmental samples.

Colorimetric Immunosensor by Aggregation of Photochemically Functionalized Gold Nanoparticles.

Project description:A colorimetric immunosensor based on local surface plasmon resonance by gold nanoparticles is presented, and its application for the detection of human immunoglobulin G (IgG) is demonstrated. The color change of the colloidal solution is produced by nanoparticle aggregation, a process that can be tuned by the presence of the analyte once the nanoparticles are functionalized. In comparison to common functionalization techniques, the procedure described here is simpler, low-cost, and effective in binding antibodies upright on the gold surface. The dose-response curve is similar to that resulting in typical immunoassay platforms and is satisfactorily described by the proposed theoretical model. Human IgG at concentration levels of few hundreds of nanograms per milliliter can be detected by eyes within a few minutes, thereby making the colorimetric immunosensor proposed here a powerful tool in several areas, with urine test in medical diagnostics being the most immediate.

Colorimetric sensing of cephradine through polypropylene glycol functionalized gold nanoparticles.

Project description:The development of metal nanoparticle-based facile colorimetric assays for drugs and insecticides is an emerging area of current scientific research. In the present work, polypropylene glycol was used for stabilization of gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) in a simple one-pot two-phase process and subsequently employed it for the specific detection of cephradine (CPH). The characterization of the prepared PPG-AuNPs was conducted through various analytical techniques such as UV-visible spectrophotometry, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, atomic force microscopy (AFM), zeta potential and zetasizer techniques. As the major target of the study, the stabilized PPG-AuNPs were employed for colorimetric detection of CPH and other drugs. Typical wine-red colour of PPG-AuNPs disappeared immediately and surface plasmon resonance band quenched by addition of CPH in the presence of several other interferents (drugs and salts) and in real samples. PPG-AuNPs permitted efficient, selective, reliable and rapid determination in a concentration range of 0.01-120 mM with a detection limit (LoD) of 11.0 mM. The developed sensor has the potential to be used for fast scanning of pharmaceutical formulations for quantification of CPH at production facilities.

Highly specific colorimetric detection based on aggregation of l-cysteine functionalized gold nanoparticles for cypermethrin in water samples.

Project description:A fast, simple, and selective colorimetric assay for quantifying cypermethrin in water samples is proposed using l-cysteine functionalized gold nanoparticles (AuNPs@Cyst). Cypermethrin is hydrolyzed by potassium hydroxide to obtain hydrolyzed cypermethrin in the form of 3-phenoxybenzaldehyde by-product (HCy). The detection strategy is based on the aggregation of AuNPs@Cyst caused by hydrogen-bonding recognition between the aldehyde group of HCy and the amine group of l-cysteine on the surface of AuNPs@Cyst. As a result, in the presence of HCy under optimal pH 7, AuNPs@Cyst aggregates within 7 min, exhibiting a distinct color change from red to blue-gray, which can be evaluated with the naked eye and UV-visible spectrophotometry. From FE-TEM image, the stable and spherical AuNPs@Cyst had an average size of 13.8 ± 1.6 nm, and from zeta potential analysis, the charge of AuNPs@Cyst was -25.04 ± 1.66 mV. The surface plasmon resonance band of dispersed AuNPs@Cyst was red shifted from 525 nm to 634 nm when AuNPs@Cyst was aggregated. The absorbance ratio (A634/A525) was linearly related to cypermethrin concentrations from 0.5 to 13.0 mg L-1. The limit of detection was 0.2 mg L-1 and precision, expressed as relative standard deviations (RSDs), ranged from 1.9 to 7.3%. In the presence of interfering pesticides (carbaryl, ethion, profenofos and abamectin), only cypermethrin produced a significantly different response, confirming the selectivity of AuNPs@Cyst. Finally, AuNPs@Cyst was applied to determine cypermethrin in water samples, achieving very satisfied recoveries (>98.6%) and RSDs lower than 6.1%.

Sodium-Alginate-Functionalized Silver Nanoparticles for Colorimetric Detection of Dimethoate

Project description:Sodium alginate (SA) was used to functionalize the surfaces of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) to form SA-AgNPs for sensing dimethoate with a rapid and sensitive visual readout. UV–Vis spectrophotometry, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, transmission electron microscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and zeta potential measurements were used to characterize SA-AgNPs that were synthesized under the ideal conditions. SA-AgNPs were spherical with an average size of 14.6 nm. The stability of SA-AgNPs was investigated with changes in pH, salinity, and storage time. This colorimetric assay of dimethoate relied on the change in the absorption ratio (A475/A400) of SA-AgNPs, resulting in their aggregation caused by dimethoate, leading to a visual change for SA-AgNPs from yellow to pale yellow. As a result, the absorption ratio (A475/A400) of SA-AgNPs showed good linearity in the range of 0.05 to 2.0 ppm (R2 = 0.9986) with a limit of detection (LOD) of 30 ppb. Adding other pesticides did not significantly change the absorption ratio of SA-AgNPs, indicating its high selectivity as a colorimetric assay. The sensor was successfully used to detect dimethoate in actual water samples.

SARS-CoV-2 detection with aptamer-functionalized gold nanoparticles.

Project description:A rapid detection test for SARS-CoV-2 is urgently required to monitor virus spread and containment. Here, we describe a test that uses nanoprobes, which are gold nanoparticles functionalized with an aptamer specific to the spike membrane protein of SARS-CoV-2. An enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay confirms aptamer binding with the spike protein on gold surfaces. Protein recognition occurs by adding a coagulant, where nanoprobes with no bound protein agglomerate while those with sufficient bound protein do not. Using plasmon absorbance spectra, the nanoprobes detect 16 nM and higher concentrations of spike protein in phosphate-buffered saline. The time-varying light absorbance is examined at 540 nm to determine the critical coagulant concentration required to agglomerates the nanoprobes, which depends on the protein concentration. This approach detects 3540 genome copies/μl of inactivated SARS-CoV-2.

Single chain fragment variable recombinant antibody functionalized gold nanoparticles for a highly sensitive colorimetric immunoassay.

Project description:In this report, the peptide linker connecting scFv V(H) and V(L) domains were genetically modified to contain different amino acids (i.e. cysteine (scFv-cys) or histidines (scFv-his)) to enable the scFv to adsorb or self-assemble onto the gold nanoparticles (NPs). The scFv-cys stabilized gold NPs were used to develop a highly sensitive colorimetric immunosensor. The scFv-cys stabilized gold NPs were characterized by UV-vis spectra, transmission electron microscope (TEM) and FTIR. After adding the antigen rabbit IgG, the solution of scFv-cys stabilized gold NPs shows obvious visible color change from deep red to light purple due to the aggregation of the gold nanoparticles. Based on the colorimetric aggregation of scFv-cys stabilized gold NPs, the immunosensor exhibits high sensitivity with a detection limit of 1.7 nM and good specificity. The good properties of the colorimetric aggregation immunosensor can be attributed to the small size of scFv and the covalent link between the scFv and gold NPs that improve the better orientation and enhance the probe density. With the advantages of speed, simplicity and specificity, the colorimetric immunoassay based on the functionalized scFv stabilized gold NPs represents a promising approach for protein analysis and clinical diagnostics.

TEMPO-Cellulose Nanocrystal-Capped Gold Nanoparticles for Colorimetric Detection of Pathogenic DNA.

Project description:Nanocellulose-assisted gold nanoparticles are considered promising materials for developing eco-friendly diagnostic tools for biosensing applications. In this study, we synthesized 2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidin-1-piperidinyloxy (TEMPO)-oxidized cellulose nanocrystal (TEMPO-CNC)-capped gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) for the colorimetric detection of unamplified pathogenic DNA oligomers of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus. The fabricated TEMPO-CNC-AuNPs (TC-AuNPs) were characterized using UV-visible spectroscopy, transmission electron microscopy, atomic force microscopy, and dynamic light scattering. The average diameter of the synthesized AuNPs was approximately 30 nm. The aqueous solution of TC-AuNPs was stable and exhibited an absorption peak at 520 nm. The chemical interaction between TC-AuNPs and the surface charge of the target and non-target DNA determined the colorimetric differences under ionic conditions. A dramatic color change (red → blue) was observed in the TC-AuNP solution with the target DNA under ionic conditions due to the aggregation of AuNPs. However, no observable color change occurred in the TC-AuNP solution with the non-target DNA under similar conditions owing to the better shielding effects of the charged moieties. The colorimetric detection limit of the TC-AuNPs was demonstrated to be as low as 20 fM pathogenic DNA. Therefore, the use of TEMPO-oxidized CNC-capped AuNPs is efficient and straightforward as a biosensor for the colorimetric detection of pathogenic DNA.

Simple Colorimetric Assay for <i>Vibrio parahaemolyticus</i> Detection Using Aptamer-Functionalized Nanoparticles.

Project description:Simple, rapid, and sensitive screening methods are the key to prevent and control the spread of foodborne diseases. In this study, a simple visual colorimetric assay using magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) and gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) was developed for the detection of Vibrio parahaemolyticus. First, the aptamer responding to V. parahaemolyticus was conjugated onto the surface of MNPs and used as a specific magnetic separator. In addition, the aptamer was also immobilized on the surface of AuNPs and used as a colorimetric detector. In the presence of V. parahaemolyticus, a sandwich structure of MNP-aptamer-bacteria-aptamer-AuNPs is formed through specific recognition of the aptamer and V. parahaemolyticus. The magnetic separation technique was then applied to generate a detection signal. Owing to the optical properties of AuNPs, a visual signal could be observed, resulting in an instrument-free colorimetric detection. Under optimal conditions, this assay shows a linear response toward V. parahaemolyticus concentration through the range of 10-106 cfu/mL, with a limit of detection of 2.4 cfu/mL. This method was also successfully applied for V. parahaemolyticus detection in spiked raw shrimp samples.
