"Top-down" and "bottom-up" strategies for wafer-scaled miniaturized gas sensors design and fabrication.

ABSTRACT: Manufacture of large-scale patterned nanomaterials via top-down techniques, such as printing and slurry coating, have been used for fabrication of miniaturized gas sensors. However, the reproducibility and uniformity of the sensors in wafer-scale fabrication are still a challenge. In this work, a "top-down" and "bottom-up" combined strategy was proposed to manufacture wafer-scaled miniaturized gas sensors with high-throughput by in-situ growth of Ni(OH)₂ nanowalls at specific locations. First, the micro-hotplate based sensor chips were fabricated on a two-inch (2") silicon wafer by micro-electro-mechanical-system (MEMS) fabrication techniques ("top-down" strategy). Then a template-guided controllable de-wetting method was used to assemble a porous thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) thin film with uniform micro-sized holes (relative standard deviation (RSD) of the size of micro-holes <3.5 %, n > 300), which serves as the patterned mask for in-situ growing Ni(OH)₂ nanowalls at the micro-hole areas ("bottom-up" strategy). The obtained gas microsensors based on this strategy showed great reproducibility of electric properties (RSD < 0.8%, n = 8) and sensing response toward real-time H₂S detection (RSD < 3.5%, n = 8).

Project description:Saw-scaled or carpet vipers (genus Echis) are considered to cause a higher global snakebite mortality than any other snake. Echis carinatus sochureki (ECS) is a widely distributed snake species, also found across the thirteen provinces of Iran, where it is assumed to be responsible for the most snakebite envenomings. Here, we collected the Iranian specimens of ECS from three different geographically distinct populations, investigated food habits, and performed toxicity assessment and venom proteome profiling to better understand saw-scaled viper life. Our results show that the prey items most commonly found in all populations were arthropods, with scorpions from the family Buthidae particularly well represented. LD50 (median lethal dose) values of the crude venom demonstrate highly comparable venom toxicities in mammals. Consistent with this finding, venom characterization via top-down and bottom-up proteomics, applied to both crude venoms and size-exclusion chromatographic fractions, revealed highly comparable venom compositions among the different populations. By combining all proteomics data, we identified 22 protein families from 102 liquid chromatography and tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) raw files, including the most abundant snake venom metalloproteinases (SVMPs, 29-34%); phospholipase A2 (PLA2s, 26-31%); snake venom serine proteinases (SVSPs, 11-12%); l-amino acid oxidases (LAOs, 8-11%), C-type lectins/lectin-like (CTLs, 7-9%) protein families, and many newly detected ones, e.g., renin-like aspartic proteases (RLAPs), fibroblast growth factors (FGFs), peptidyl-prolyl cis-trans isomerases (PPIs), and venom vasodilator peptides (VVPs). Furthermore, we identified and characterized methylated, acetylated, and oxidized proteoforms relating to the PLA2 and disintegrin toxin families and the site of their modifications. It thus seems that post-translational modifications (PTMs) of toxins, particularly target lysine residues, may play an essential role in the structural and functional properties of venom proteins and might be able to influence the therapeutic response of antivenoms, to be investigated in future studies.
