Recent Developments of High-Resolution Chemical Imaging Systems Based on Light-Addressable Potentiometric Sensors (LAPSs).

ABSTRACT: A light-addressable potentiometric sensor (LAPS) is a semiconductor electrochemical sensor based on the field-effect which detects the variation of the Nernst potential on the sensor surface, and the measurement area is defined by illumination. Thanks to its light-addressability feature, an LAPS-based chemical imaging sensor system can be developed, which can visualize the two-dimensional distribution of chemical species on the sensor surface. This sensor system has been used for the analysis of reactions and diffusions in various biochemical samples. In this review, the LAPS system set-up, including the sensor construction, sensing and substrate materials, modulated light and various measurement modes of the sensor systems are described. The recently developed technologies and the affecting factors, especially regarding the spatial resolution and temporal resolution are discussed and summarized, and the advantages and limitations of these technologies are illustrated. Finally, the further applications of LAPS-based chemical imaging sensors are discussed, where the combination with microfluidic devices is promising.

Project description:DNA methylation (DNAm) sensors are an emerging branch in the discipline of sensors. It is believed to be able to promote the next generation of epigenetics-based diagnostic technology. Differing from the traditional biochemical sensors that aimed at individual molecules, the challenge in DNAm sensors is how to determine the amount of 5-methylcytosine (5mC) in a continuous nucleotide sequence. Here, we report a comparative study about meso-tetra(4-carboxyphenyl)porphine (TCPP)-based DNAm sensing interfaces on a light-addressable potentiometric sensor (LAPS), depending on TCPP's postures that are flat in the π-conjugated TCPP layer on reduced-graphene-oxide-decorated LAPS (#1) and stand-up in the covalently anchored TCPP on glutaraldehyde (GA)-treated LAPS (#2), along with the blank one (only GA-treated LAPS, #3). These DNAm sensing interfaces are also distinct from the traditional biosensing interface on LAPS, that is: it is not functionalized by the sensing indicator (5mC antibody, in this case) but by the target nucleotide sequence. The surface characterization techniques such as Raman spectra, scanning electron microscopy, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy are conducted to prove the decorations, as well as the anchored nucleotides. It is found that, though all of them can detect as low as one 5mC in the target sequence, the enhanced DNAm sensitivity is obtained by #2, which is evidenced by the higher output-voltage changing ratio for the 5mC site of #2 than those of #1 and #3. Furthermore, the underlying causes for the improved sensitivity in #2 are proposed, according to the conformational and electronic properties of TCPP molecules. Conclusively, TCPP's synergetic function, including the molecular configuration and the activate (carboxyl) groups on its peripheral substituents, to improve the DNAm sensing interface on LAPS is investigated and demonstrated. This can shed light on a new approach for DNA methylation detection, with the merits of low cost, independence on bisulfite conversion, and polymerase chain reaction.
