Project description:Sensitive detection of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) residue in aseptic packaging at point of use is critical to food safety. We present a sensitive non-enzymatic, amperometric H2O2 sensor based on ferrocene-functionalized multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNT-FeC) and facile screen-printed carbon electrodes (SPCEs). The sensor utilizes the covalently grafted ferrocene as an effective redox mediator and the MWCNT networks to provide a large active surface area for efficient electrocatalytic reactions. The electrocatalytic MWCNT-FeC modified electrodes feature a high-efficiency electron transfer and a high electrocatalytic activity towards H2O2 reduction at a low potential of -0.15 V vs. Ag/AgCl. The decreased operating potential improves the selectivity by inherently eliminating the cross-reactivity with other electroactive interferents, such as dopamine, glucose, and ascorbic acid. The sensor exhibits a wide linear detection range from 1 μM to 1 mM with a detection limit of 0.49 μM (S/N=3). The covalently functionalized electrodes offered highly reproducible and reliable detection, providing a robust property for continuous, real-time H2O2 monitoring. Furthermore, the proposed sensor was successfully employed to determine H2O2 levels in spiked packaged milk and apple juice with satisfactory recoveries (94.33-97.62%). The MWCNT-FeC modified SPCEs offered a facile, cost-effective method for highly sensitive and selective point-of-use detection of H2O2.

Project description:The surface of nanoporous gold (np-Au) monoliths was modified via a flow method with the lectin Concanavalin A (Con A) to develop a substrate for separation and extraction of glycoproteins. Self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) of α-lipoic acid (LA) on the np-Au monoliths were prepared followed by activation of the terminal carboxyl groups to create amine reactive esters that were utilized in the immobilization of Con A. Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) was used to determine the surface coverages of LA and Con A on np-Au monoliths which were found to be 1.31×10(18) and 1.85×10(15)moleculesm(-2), respectively. An in situ solution depletion method was developed that enabled surface coverage characterization without damaging the substrate and suggesting the possibility of regeneration. Using this method, the surface coverages of LA and Con A were found to be 0.989×10(18) and 1.32×10(15)moleculesm(-2), respectively. The selectivity of the Con A-modified np-Au monolith for the high mannose-containing glycoprotein ovalbumin (OVA) versus negative control non-glycosylated bovine serum albumin (BSA) was demonstrated by the difference in the ratio of the captured molecules to the immobilized Con A molecules, with OVA:Con A=2.3 and BSA:Con A=0.33. Extraction of OVA from a 1:3 mole ratio mixture with BSA was demonstrated by the greater amount of depletion of OVA concentration during the circulation with the developed substrate. A significant amount of captured OVA was eluted using α-methyl mannopyranoside as a competitive ligand. This work is motivated by the need to develop new materials for chromatographic separation and extraction substrates for use in preparative and analytical procedures in glycomics.

Project description:Plasmonic metal nanostructures have shown great potential in sensing applications. Among various materials and structures, monolithic nanoporous gold disks (NPGD) have several unique features such as three-dimensional (3D) porous network, large surface area, tunable plasmonic resonance, high-density hot-spots, and excellent architectural integrity and environmental stability. They exhibit a great potential in surface-enhanced spectroscopy, photothermal conversion, and plasmonic sensing. In this work, interactions between smaller colloidal gold nanoparticles (AuNP) and individual NPGDs are studied. Specifically, colloidal gold nanoparticles with different sizes are loaded onto NPGD substrates to form NPG hybrid nanocomposites with tunable plasmonic resonance peaks in the near-infrared spectral range. Newly formed plasmonic hot-spots due to the coupling between individual nanoparticles and NPG disk have been identified in the nanocomposites, which have been experimentally studied using extinction and surface-enhanced Raman scattering. Numerical modeling and simulations have been employed to further unravel various coupling scenarios between AuNP and NPGDs.

Project description:Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) is an important molecule in biological and environmental systems. In living systems, H2O2 plays essential functions in physical signaling pathways, cell growth, differentiation, and proliferation. Plasmonic nanostructures have attracted significant research attention in the fields of catalysis, imaging, and sensing applications because of their unique properties. Owing to the difference in the reduction potential, silver nanostructures have been proposed for the detection of H2O2. In this work, we demonstrate the Au@Ag nanocubes for the label- and enzyme-free detection of H2O2. Seed-mediated synthesis method was employed to realize the Au@Ag nanocubes with high uniformity. The Au@Ag nanocubes were demonstrated to exhibit the ability to monitor the H2O2 at concentration levels lower than 200 µM with r2 = 0.904 of the calibration curve and the limit of detection (LOD) of 1.11 µM. In the relatively narrow range of the H2O2 at concentration levels lower than 40 µM, the LOD was calculated to be 0.60 µM with r2 = 0.941 of the calibration curve of the H2O2 sensor. This facile fabrication strategy of the Au@Ag nanocubes would provide inspiring insights for the label- and enzyme-free detection of H2O2.

Project description:We developed a versatile and highly sensitive biosensor platform. The platform is based on electrochemical-enzymatic redox cycling induced by selective enzyme immobilization on nano-sized carbon interdigitated electrodes (IDEs) decorated with gold nanoparticles (AuNPs). Without resorting to sophisticated nanofabrication technologies, we used batch wafer-level carbon microelectromechanical systems (C-MEMS) processes to fabricate 3D carbon IDEs reproducibly, simply, and cost effectively. In addition, AuNPs were selectively electrodeposited on specific carbon nanoelectrodes; the high surface-to-volume ratio and fast electron transfer ability of AuNPs enhanced the electrochemical signal across these carbon IDEs. Gold nanoparticle characteristics such as size and morphology were reproducibly controlled by modulating the step-potential and time period in the electrodeposition processes. To detect cholesterol selectively using AuNP/carbon IDEs, cholesterol oxidase (ChOx) was selectively immobilized via the electrochemical reduction of the diazonium cation. The sensitivity of the AuNP/carbon IDE-based biosensor was ensured by efficient amplification of the redox mediators, ferricyanide and ferrocyanide, between selectively immobilized enzyme sites and both of the combs of AuNP/carbon IDEs. The presented AuNP/carbon IDE-based cholesterol biosensor exhibited a wide sensing range (0.005-10 mM) and high sensitivity (~993.91 µA mM-1 cm-2; limit of detection (LOD) ~1.28 µM). In addition, the proposed cholesterol biosensor was found to be highly selective for the cholesterol detection.

Project description:Hydrogen peroxide is a major component of oxygen metabolism in biological systems that, when present in high concentrations, can lead to oxidative stress in cells. Noninvasive molecular imaging of H(2)O(2) using fluorogenic systems represents an effective way to detect and measure the accumulation of this metabolite. Herein, we detail the development of robust H(2)O(2)-sensitive fluorescent probes using a boronic ester trigger appended to the fluorophore through a benzyl ether linkage. A major advantage of the probes presented here is their synthetic accessibility, with only one step needed to generate the probes on the gram scale. The sensitivity of the probes was evaluated in simulated physiological conditions, showing micromolar sensitivity to H(2)O(2). The probes were tested in biological model systems, demonstrating effective imaging of unstimulated, endogenous H(2)O(2) levels in RAW 264.7 cells and murine brain tissue.

Project description:Thiol proteins are important in cellular antioxidant defenses and redox signalling. It is postulated that reactive oxidants cause selective thiol oxidation, but relative sensitivities of different cell proteins and critical targets are not well characterized. We exposed Jurkat cells to H2O2 for 10 min and measured changes in reversibly oxidized proteins by labelling with iodoacetamidofluorescein and two-dimensional electrophoresis. At 200 microM H2O2, which caused activation of the MAP (mitogen-activated protein) kinase ERK (extracellular-signal-regulated kinase), growth arrest and apoptosis, relatively few changes were seen. A total of 28 spots were reversibly oxidized (increased labelling intensity) and 24 decreased. The latter included isoforms of peroxiredoxins 1 and 2, which were irreversibly oxidized. Oxidation of GAPDH (glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase) was striking, and other affected proteins included glutathione S-transferase P1-1, enolase, a regulatory subunit of protein kinase A, annexin VI, the mitotic checkpoint serine/threonine-protein kinase BUB1beta, HSP90beta (heat-shock protein 90beta) and proteosome components. At 20 microM H2O2, changes were fewer, but GAPDH and peroxiredoxin 2 were still modified. Dinitrochlorobenzene treatment, which inhibited cellular thioredoxin reductase and partially depleted GSH, caused reversible oxidation of several proteins, including thioredoxin 1 and peroxiredoxins 1 and 2. Most changes were distinct from those with H2O2, and changes with H2O2 were scarcely enhanced by dinitrochlorobenzene. Relatively few proteins, including deoxycytidine kinase, nucleoside diphosphate kinase and a proteosome activator subunit, responded only to the combined treatment. Thus most of the effects of H2O2 were not linked to thioredoxin oxidation. Our study has identified peroxiredoxin 2 and GAPDH as two of the most oxidant-sensitive cell proteins and has highlighted how readily peroxiredoxins undergo irreversible oxidation.

Project description:In this work, Au-modified F-TiO2 is developed as a simple and efficient photocatalyst for H2O2 production under ultraviolet light. The Au/F-TiO2 photocatalyst avoids the necessity of adding fluoride into the reaction medium for enhancing H2O2 synthesis, as in a pure TiO2 reaction system. The F- modification inhibits the H2O2 decomposition through the formation of the ≡Ti-F complex. Au is an active cocatalyst for photocatalytic H2O2 production. We compared the activity of TiO2 with F- modification and without F- modification in the presence of Au, and found that the H2O2 production rate over Au/F-TiO2 reaches four times that of Au/TiO2. In situ electron spin resonance studies have shown that H2O2 is produced by stepwise single-electron oxygen reduction on the Au/F-TiO2 photocatalyst.

Project description:Four different graphene-based nanomaterials (htGO, N-htGO, htGONR, and N-htGONR) were synthesized, characterized, and used as a modifier of carbon paste electrode (CPE) in order to produce a reliable, precise, and highly sensitive non-enzymatic amperometric hydrogen peroxide sensor for complex matrices. CPE, with their robustness, reliability, and ease of modification, present a convenient starting point for the development of new sensors. Modification of CPE was optimized by systematically changing the type and concentration of materials in the modifier and studying the prepared electrode surface by cyclic voltammetry. N-htGONR in combination with manganese dioxide (1:1 ratio) proved to be the most appropriate material for detection of hydrogen peroxide in pharmaceutical and saliva matrices. The developed sensor exhibited a wide linear range (1.0-300 µM) and an excellent limit of detection (0.08 µM) and reproducibility, as well as high sensitivity and stability. The sensor was successfully applied to real sample analysis, where the recovery values for a commercially obtained pharmaceutical product were between 94.3% and 98.0%. Saliva samples of a user of the pharmaceutical product were also successfully analyzed.
