Effect of Serum on Electrochemical Detection of Bioassays Having Ag Nanoparticle Labels.

ABSTRACT: The effect of serum on electrochemical detection of bioassays having silver nanoparticle (AgNP) detection labels was investigated. Both a model assay and an antigen-specific sandwich bioassay for the heart failure marker NT-proBNP were examined. In both cases, the AgNP labels were conjugated to a detection antibody. Electrochemical detection was carried out using a galvanic exchange/anodic stripping voltammetry method in which Au³⁺ exchanges with AgNP labels. The assays were carried out using a paper-based electrode platform. The bioassays were exposed to different serum conditions prior to and during detection. There are three important outcomes reported in this article. First, both the model- and antigen-specific assays could be formed in undiluted serum with no detectable interferences from the serum components. Second, to achieve the maximum possible electrochemical signal, the highest percentage of serum that can remain in an assay buffer during electrochemical detection is 0.25% when no washing is performed. The assay results are rendered inaccurate when 0.50% or more of serum is present. Third, the factors inhibiting galvanic exchange in serum probably relate to surface adsorption of biomolecules onto the AgNP labels, chelation of Au³⁺ by serum components, or both. The results reported here provide general guidance for using metal NP labels for electrochemical assays in biofluids.

Dual-Shaped Silver Nanoparticle Labels for Electrochemical Detection of Bioassays.

Project description:In this paper we demonstrate the use of dual-shaped silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) as detection labels for electrochemical bioassays. The key finding is that by using AgNP labels having two different shapes simultaneously, the limit of detection (LOD) for the assays is lowered compared to using either of the two shapes separately. The two shapes were silver nanocubes (AgNCs) having edge lengths of 40 ± 4 nm and spherical AgNPs (sAgNPs) having diameters of 20 ± 3 nm. Two different bioassays were examined. In both cases the Ag labels were functionalized with antibodies. In the one assay, the labels are directly linked to a second antibody immobilized on magnetic beads. In the second assay, the antibodies on the AgNP labels and the antibodies on the magnetic beads are linked via a peptide. The peptide is N-terminal prohormone brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP), which is a heart failure marker. The efficacy of the two electrochemical assays as a function of the ratio of the two labels was investigated using a galvanic exchange/anodic stripping voltammetry method. The key finding is that by optimizing the ratio of the two types of AgNP labels, it is possible to decrease the LOD of the assays without compromising the dynamic range compared to using either of the two labels independently. This made it possible to achieve the clinically relevant range for NT-proBNP analysis used by physicians for heart failure risk stratification.

Silver Nanocubes as Electrochemical Labels for Bioassays.

Project description:Here, we report on the use of 40 ± 4 nm silver nanocubes (AgNCs) as electrochemical labels in bioassays. The model metalloimmunoassay combines galvanic exchange (GE) and anodic stripping voltammetry (ASV). The results show that a lower limit of detection is achieved by simply changing the shape of the Ag label yielding improved GE with AgNCs when compared to GE with spherical silver nanoparticles (sAgNPs). Specifically, during GE between electrogenerated Au3+ and the Ag labels, a thin shell of Au forms on the surface of the NP. This shell is more porous when GE proceeds on AgNCs compared to sAgNPs, and therefore, more exchange occurs when using AgNCs. ASV results show that the Ag collection efficiency (AgCE%) is increased by up to ∼57% when using AgNCs. When the electrochemical system is fully optimized, the limit of detection is 0.1 pM AgNCs, which is an order of magnitude lower than that of sAgNP labels.

Ultrabright fluorescent nanoscale labels for the femtomolar detection of analytes with standard bioassays.

Project description:The detection and quantification of low-abundance molecular biomarkers in biological samples is challenging. Here, we show that a plasmonic nanoscale construct serving as an 'add-on' label for a broad range of bioassays improves their signal-to-noise ratio and dynamic range without altering their workflow and readout devices. The plasmonic construct consists of a bovine serum albumin scaffold with approximately 210 IRDye 800CW fluorophores (with a fluorescence intensity approximately 6,700-fold that of a single 800CW fluorophore), a polymer-coated gold nanorod acting as a plasmonic antenna and biotin as a high-affinity biorecognition element. Its emission wavelength can be tuned over the visible and near-infrared spectral regions by modifying its size, shape and composition. It improves the limit of detection in fluorescence-linked immunosorbent assays by up to 4,750-fold and is compatible with multiplexed bead-based immunoassays, immunomicroarrays, flow cytometry and immunocytochemistry methods, and it shortens overall assay times (to 20 min) and lowers sample volumes, as shown for the detection of a pro-inflammatory cytokine in mouse interstitial fluid and of urinary biomarkers in patient samples.

Electrochemical detection of aqueous Ag+ based on Ag+-assisted ligation reaction.

Project description:In this work, a novel strategy to fabricate a highly sensitive and selective biosensor for the detection of Ag(+) is proposed. Two DNA probes are designed and modified on a gold electrode surface by gold-sulfur chemistry and hybridization. In the presence of Ag(+), cytosine-Ag(+)-cytosine composite forms and facilitates the ligation event on the electrode surface, which can block the release of electrochemical signals labeled on one of the two DNA probes during denaturation process. Ag(+) can be sensitively detected with the detection limit of 0.1 nM, which is much lower than the toxicity level defined by U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. This biosensor can easily distinguish Ag(+) from other interfering ions and the performances in real water samples are also satisfactory. Moreover, the two DNA probes are designed to contain the recognition sequences of a nicking endonuclease, and the ligated DNA can thus be cleaved at the original site. Therefore, the electrode can be regenerated, which allows the biosensor to be reused for additional tests.

Electrochemical Detection and Analysis of Various Current Responses of a Single Ag Nanoparticle Collision in an Alkaline Electrolyte Solution.

Project description:A single silver (Ag) nanoparticle (NP) collision was observed and analyzed in an alkaline solution using the electrocatalytic amplification (EA) method. Previously, the observation of a single Ag NP collision was only possible through limited methods based on a self-oxidation of Ag NPs or a blocking strategy. However, it is difficult to characterize the electrocatalytic activity of Ag NPs at a single NP level using a method based on the self-oxidation of Ag NPs. When using a blocking strategy, size analysis is difficult owing to the edge effect in the current signal. The fast oxidative dissolution of Ag NPs has been a problem for observing the staircase response of a single Ag NP collision signal using the EA method. In alkaline electrolyte conditions, Ag oxides are stable, and the oxidative dissolution of Ag NPs is sluggish. Therefore, in this study, the enhanced magnitude and frequency of the current response for single Ag NP collisions were obtained using the EA method in an alkaline electrolyte solution. The peak height and frequency of single Ag NP collisions were analyzed and compared with the theoretical estimation.

Paper Biosensor for the Detection of NT-proBNP Using Silver Nanodisks as Electrochemical Labels.

Project description:We report on the use of silver nanodisks (AgNDs), having a diameter of 50 ± 8 nm and a thickness of 8 ± 2 nm, as electrochemical labels for the detection of a model metalloimmunoassay for the heart failure biomarker NT-proBNP. The detection method is based on an electrochemically activated galvanic exchange (GE) followed by the detection of Ag using anodic stripping voltammetry (ASV). The AgNDs labels are superior to Ag nanocubes and Ag nanospheres in terms of the dynamic range for both the model and NT-proBNP metalloimmunoassays. The linear dynamic range for the model composite is 1.5 to 30.0 pM AgNDs. When AgND labels are used for the NT-proBNP assay, the dynamic range is 0.03-4.0 nM NT-proBNP. The latter range fully overlaps the risk stratification range for heart failure from 53 pM to 590 pM. The performance improvement of the AgNDs is a result of the specific GE mechanism for nanodisks. Specifically, GE is complete across the face of the AgNDs, leaving behind an incompletely exchanged ring structure composed of both Ag and Au.

Carbon Nanotubes Modified With Au for Electrochemical Detection of Prostate Specific Antigen: Effect of Au Nanoparticle Size Distribution.

Project description:Different functionalized Multi-Wall Carbon Nanotube and gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) were synthesized as biosensor electrodes. These materials have been applied to the detection of the Prostate Specific Antigen (PSA). The synthesis of AuNPs was carried out using polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) as protecting agent. The PVP/Au molar ratio (0.5 and 50) controls the nanoparticle size distribution, obtaining a wide and narrow distribution with an average diameter of 9.5 and 6.6 nm, respectively. Nanoparticle size distribution shows an important effect in the electrochemical performance of the biosensor, increasing the electrochemical active surface area (EASA) and promoting the electron-transfer from the redox probe (Ferrocene/Ferrocenium) to the electrode. Furthermore, a narrow and small nanoparticle size distribution enhances the amount of antibodies immobilized on the transducer material and the performance during the detection of the PSA. Significant results were obtained for the quantification of PSA, with a limit of detection of 1 ng·ml-1 and sensitivities of 0.085 and 0.056 μA·mL·ng-1 for the two transducer materials in only 5 min of detection.

Electrochemical Detection of Waterborne Bacteria Using Bi-Functional Magnetic Nanoparticle Conjugates.

Project description:Detection of microbial contamination in water is imperative to ensure water quality. We have developed an electrochemical method for the detection of E. coli using bi-functional magnetic nanoparticle (MNP) conjugates. The bi-functional MNP conjugates were prepared by terminal-specific conjugation of anti-E. coli IgG antibody and the electroactive marker ferrocene. The bi-functional MNP conjugate possesses both E. coli-specific binding and electroactive properties, which were studied in detail. The conjugation efficiency of ferrocene and IgG antibodies with amine-functionalized MNPs was investigated. Square-wave voltammetry enabled the detection of E. coli concentrations ranging from 101-107 cells/mL in a dose-dependent manner, as ferrocene-specific current signals were inversely dependent on E. coli concentrations, completely suppressed at concentrations higher than 107 cells/mL. The developed electrochemical method is highly sensitive (10 cells/mL) and, coupled to magnetic separation, provides specific signals within 1h. Overall, the bi-functional conjugates serve as ideal candidates for electrochemical detection of waterborne bacteria. This approach can be applied for the detection of other bacteria and viruses.

Effect of Ag nanoparticle concentration on the electrical and ferroelectric properties of Ag/P(VDF-TrFE) composite films.

Project description:We investigated the effect of the Ag nanoparticles on the ferroelectric and piezoelectric properties of Ag/poly(vinylidenefluoride-trifluoroethylene) (P(VDF-TrFE)) composite films. We found that the remanent polarization and direct piezoelectric coefficient increased up to 12.14 μC/cm(2) and 20.23 pC/N when the Ag concentration increased up to 0.005 volume percent (v%) and decreased down to 9.38 μC/cm(2) and 13.45 pC/N when it increased up to 0.01 v%. Further increase in Ag concentration resulted in precipitation of Ag phase and significant leakage current that hindered any meaningful measurement of the ferroelectric and piezoelectric properties. 46% increase of the remanent polarization value and 27% increase of the direct piezoelectric coefficient were observed in the film with the 0.005 v% of the Ag nanoparticles added without significant changes to the crystalline structure confirmed by both X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) experiments. These enhancements of both the ferroelectric and piezoelectric properties are attributed to the increase in the effective electric field induced by the reduction in the effective volume of P(VDF-TrFE) that results in more aligned dipoles.

Effect of Exchangeable Ions in Natural and Modified Zeolites on Ag Content, Ag Nanoparticle Formation and Their Antibacterial Activity.

Project description:To broaden the application of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs), which are well-known antibacterial agents, they are supported on different substrates to prevent aggregation, increase their surface area and antibacterial efficiency, and to be separated from the system more effectively at the end of treatment. To produce nanocomposites that consist of silver nanoparticles on natural and modified zeolites, silver ions (Ag+) were loaded onto zeolite (natural, Na-modified, H-modified) and then thermally reduced to AgNPs. The effect of the exchangeable cations in zeolite on Ag+ uptake, AgNPs formation, size and morphology was investigated by the TEM, SEM, EDX, XPS, UV-vis, XRD and BET methods. The silver amount in the nanocomposites decreased in the following order Na-modified zeolite > natural zeolite > H-modified zeolite. Microscopic techniques showed formation of AgNPs of 1-14 nm on natural and Na-modified zeolite, while the diameter of metal particles on H-modified zeolite was 12-42 nm. Diffuse reflectance UV-vis and XPS methods revealed the presence of both silver ions and AgNPs in the materials indicating that partial reduction of Ag+ ions took place upon heating at 400 °C in air. Additionally, antibacterial properties of the nanocomposites were tested against Escherichia coli, and it was found that Ag-containing composites originating from the Na-modified zeolite demonstrated the highest activity.
