2D Photonic Crystal Hydrogel Sensor for Tear Glucose Monitoring.

ABSTRACT: Photonic crystal (PC) materials have huge potentials as sensors for noninvasive and real-time monitoring glucose in tears. We developed a glucose-sensitive PC material based on monolayered colloidal crystals (MCCs). Polystyrene nanoparticles were first self-assembled into a highly ordered MCC, and this two-dimensional (2D) template was then coated by a 4-boronobenzaldehyde-functionalized poly(vinyl alcohol) hydrogel. Such a sensor efficiently diffracts visible light, whose structural color could change from red through yellow to green, as the glucose concentration altered from 0 to 20 mM, covering both tears' and bloods' physiological ranges. The sensor also represents a rapid response within 180 s at each titration of glucose, combining the characteristics of high accuracy and sensitivity in detecting the glucose concentration in tears, and this intelligent sensing material presents certain possibility for the frontier point-of-care glucose monitoring.

Photonic crystal protein hydrogel sensor materials enabled by conformationally induced volume phase transition.

Project description:Hydrogels that change volume in response to specific molecular stimuli can serve as platforms for sensors, actuators and drug delivery devices. There is great interest in designing intelligent hydrogels for tissue engineering, drug delivery, and microfluidics that utilize protein binding specificities and conformational changes. Protein conformational change induced by ligand binding can cause volume phase transitions (VPTs). Here, we develop a highly selective glucose sensing protein photonic crystal (PC) hydrogel that is fabricated from genetically engineered E. coli glucose/galactose binding protein (GGBP). The resulting 2-D PC-GGBP hydrogel undergoes a VPT in response to glucose. The volume change causes the 2-D PC array particle spacing to decrease, leading to a blue-shifted diffraction which enables our sensors to report on glucose concentrations. This 2-D PC-GGBP responsive hydrogel functions as a selective and sensitive sensor that easily monitors glucose concentrations from ∼0.2 μM to ∼10 mM. This work demonstrates a proof-of-concept for developing responsive, "smart" protein hydrogel materials with VPTs that utilize ligand binding induced protein conformational changes. This innovation may enable the development of other novel chemical sensors and high-throughput screening devices that can monitor protein-drug binding interactions.

A Gelated Colloidal Crystal Attached Lens for Noninvasive Continuous Monitoring of Tear Glucose.

Project description:Patients of diabetes mellitus urgently need noninvasive and continuous glucose monitoring in daily point-of-care. As the tear glucose concentration has a positive correlation with that in blood, the hydrogel colloidal crystal integrated into contact lens possesses promising potential for noninvasive monitoring of glucose in tears. This paper presents a new glucose-responsive sensor, which consists a crystalline colloidal array (CCA) embedded in hydrogel matrix, attached onto a rigid gas permeable (RGP) contact lens. This novel sensing lens is able to selectively diffract visible light, whose wavelength shifts between 567 and 468 nm according to the alternation of the glucose concentration between 0 and 50 mM and its visible color change between reddish yellow, green, and blue. The detection limit of responsive glucose concentration can be reduced to 0.05 mM. Its combination with a contact lens endows it with excellent biocompatibility and portability, which shows great possibility for it to push the development of glucose-detecting devices into new era.

Preocular sensor system for concurrent monitoring of glucose levels and dry eye syndrome using tear fluids.

Project description:The present study demonstrated a noninvasive preocular sensor system for the concurrent monitoring of diabetes and one of its prevalent complications, dry eye syndrome (DES), using tear fluids. Two distinct sensors, i.e., the glucose and DES sensors, were prepared and encased together in a single housing unit to produce the sensor system, and the tip was designed to be in contact with the eye surface noninvasively to collect and deliver tear fluid to the sensors. The glucose sensor was modified from a commercially available electrochemical sensor to allow for the measurement of glucose concentrations, even in a small amount of collected tear fluid. The DES sensor was equipped with a microchannel spaced with two parallel electrodes to determine the amount of collected tear fluid. In vivo experimental results revealed that with the collected tear fluid of about 0.6-1.0 μl, the sensor system estimated the blood glucose concentrations with acceptable accuracy compared with that of the glucometer in clinical use. The DES condition in animals was diagnosed with high sensitivity (91.7%) and specificity (83.3%).

Low-fouling CNT-PEG-hydrogel coated quartz crystal microbalance sensor for saliva glucose detection.

Project description:Saliva glucose detection based on a quartz crystal microbalance (QCM) sensor has emerged as a promising tool and a non-invasive diagnostic technique for diabetes. However, the low glucose concentration and strong protein interference in the saliva hinder the QCM sensors from practical applications. In this study, we present a robust and simple anti-fouling CNT-PEG-hydrogel film-coated QCM sensor for the detection of saliva glucose with high sensitivity. The CNT-PEG-hydrogel film consists of two layers; the bottom base PBA-hydrogel film is designed to recognize the glucose while the top CNT-PEG layer is used to restrict protein adsorption and improve the biocompatibility. Our results show that this CNT-PEG-hydrogel film exhibited a 10-fold enhancement on the detection limit compared to the PBA-hydrogel. Meanwhile, the adsorption of proteins on the surface of the CNT-PEG-hydrogel film, including bovine serum albumin (BSA), mucin (MUC), and fibrinogen (FIB), were reduced by 99.1%, 77.8%, and 83.7%, respectively. The CNT-PEG-hydrogel film could detect the typical saliva glucose level (0-50 mg L-1) in 10% saliva with a good responsivity. To sum up, this new tool with low-fouling film featuring high stability, specificity, and selectivity holds great potential for non-invasive monitoring of saliva glucose in human physiological levels.

Dataset on photonic crystal fiber based chemical sensor.

Project description:This article represents the data set of micro porous core photonic crystal fiber based chemical sensor. The suggested structure is folded cladding porous shaped with circular air hole. Here is investigated four distinctive parameters including relative sensitivity, confinement loss, numerical aperture (NA), and effective area (Aeff). The numerical outcomes are computed over the E+S+C+L+U communication band. The useable sensed chemicals are methanol, ethanol, propanol, butanol, and pentanol whose are lies in the alcohol series (Paul et al., 2017) [1]. Furthermore, V-parameter (V), Marcuse spot size (MSS), and beam divergence (BD) are also investigated rigorously. All examined results have been obtained using finite element method based simulation software COMSOL Multiphysics 4.2 versions with anisotropic circular perfectly matched layer (A-CPML). The proposed PCF shows the high NA from 0.35 to 0.36; the low CL from ~10-11 to ~10-7 dB/m; the high Aeff from 5.50 to 5.66 µm2; the MSS from 1.0 to 1.08 µm; the BD from 0.43 to 0.46 rad at the controlling wavelength λ = 1.55 µm for employing alcohol series respectively.

Difunctional Hydrogel Optical Fiber Fluorescence Sensor for Continuous and Simultaneous Monitoring of Glucose and pH.

Project description:It is significant for people with diabetes to know their body's real-time glucose level, which can guide the diagnosis and treatment. Therefore, it is necessary to research continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) as it gives us real-time information about our health condition and its dynamic changes. Here, we report a novel hydrogel optical fiber fluorescence sensor segmentally functionalized with fluorescein derivative and CdTe QDs/3-APBA, which can continuously monitor pH and glucose simultaneously. In the glucose detection section, the complexation of PBA and glucose will expand the local hydrogel and decrease the fluorescence of the quantum dots. The fluorescence can be transmitted to the detector by the hydrogel optical fiber in real time. As the complexation reaction and the swelling-deswelling of the hydrogel are all reversible, the dynamic change of glucose concentration can be monitored. For pH detection, the fluorescein attached to another segment of the hydrogel exhibits different protolytic forms when pH changes and the fluorescence changes correspondingly. The significance of pH detection is compensation for pH errors in glucose detection because the reaction between PBA and glucose is sensitive to pH. The emission peaks of the two detection units are 517 nm and 594 nm, respectively, so there is no signal interference between them. The sensor can continuously monitor glucose in 0-20 mM and pH in 5.4-7.8. The advantages of this sensor are multi-parameter simultaneous detection, transmission-detection integration, real-time dynamic detection, and good biocompatibility.

Colloidal Photonic Crystals of Reusable Hydrogel Microparticles for Sensor and Laser Applications.

Project description:Although a wide variety of techniques have been developed to date for the fabrication of high-quality colloidal photonic crystals (CPCs) using monodisperse silica and polystyrene microparticles, poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPA) hydrogel microparticles have rarely been utilized for the preparation of active CPCs despite the intriguing feature of temperature-responsive volume changes. This report describes the promising potential abilities of PNIPA hydrogel microparticles for sensor and laser applications. Monodisperse PNIPA hydrogel microparticles were synthesized by emulsion polymerization, and the microparticle diameter was finely controlled by adjusting the surfactant concentration. Such hydrogel microparticles spontaneously formed uniform CPCs with visible Bragg reflection even in fluid suspensions. The addition of small amounts of ionic substances into the centrifuged and deionized CPC suspensions enabled the on-demand color switching between Bragg reflection and white turbidity with temperature, leading to temperature- and ion-sensing applications. Moreover, our expanding experiments successfully demonstrated the optically excited laser action with a single and narrow peak from CPC suspensions with light-emitting dyes by the photonic band gap effect. After the light-emitting dyes were simply removed from the CPC suspensions by centrifugation, the purified PNIPA hydrogel microparticles were permanently reusable as the CPC laser microcavities to generate the laser action at other wavelengths using different dyes. This study contributes the circular economy concept using reusable hydrogel microparticles for the realization of a sustainable society.

A glucose sensor protein for continuous glucose monitoring.

Project description:In vivo continuous glucose monitoring has posed a significant challenge to glucose sensor development due to the lack of reliable techniques that are non- or at least minimally-invasive. In this proof-of-concept study, we demonstrated the development of a new glucose sensor protein, AcGFP1-GBPcys-mCherry, and an optical sensor assembly, capable of generating quantifiable FRET (fluorescence resonance energy transfer) signals for glucose monitoring. Our experimental data showed that the engineered glucose sensor protein can generate measurable FRET signals in response to glucose concentrations varying from 25 to 800 ?M. The sensor developed based on this protein had a shelf-life of up to 3 weeks. The sensor response was devoid of interference from compounds like galactose, fructose, lactose, mannose, and mannitol when tested at physiologically significant concentrations of these compounds. This new glucose sensor protein can potentially be used to develop implantable glucose sensors for continuous glucose monitoring.

High-Q side-coupled semi-2D-photonic crystal cavity.

Project description:High-Q semi-2D-photonic crystal cavities with a tapered edge and side-coupled bus waveguide are demonstrated. With a quadratic design, the unloaded cavity presents a theoretical ultrahigh quality factor up to 6.7 × 10(7) for the condition that there are mere 34 holes in the propagated direction, which is pretty close to the 2D and 1D counterpart. Combined with a side-coupled bus waveguide, an all-pass-type cavity with a loaded quality factor (Q) of over 2.4 × 10(4) and an extinction ratio over 10 dB are experimentally demonstrated. An experimental loaded Q up to 1.1 × 10(5) are also achieved by tuning the coupling between the cavity and the bus waveguide, which is much larger than any reported surface-mode cavity. This cavity is quite suitable for sensors, filters and especially optomechanical devices thanks to the mechanical stability of the cavity and flexibility of the bus waveguide.
