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

ABSTRACT: 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.

Electrochemical Detection of NT-proBNP Using a Metalloimmunoassay on a Paper Electrode Platform.

Project description:In this paper, we demonstrate an electrochemical method for detection of the heart failure biomarker, N-terminal prohormone brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP). The approach is based on a paper electrode assembly and a metalloimmunoassay; it is intended for eventual integration into a home-use sensor. Sensing of NT-proBNP relies on the formation of a sandwich immunoassay and electrochemical quantification of silver nanoparticle (AgNP) labels attached to the detection antibodies (Abs). There are four important outcomes reported in this article. First, compared to physisorption of the detection Abs on the AgNP labels, a 27-fold increase in signal is observed when a heterobifunctional cross-linker is used to facilitate this labeling. Second, the assay is selective in that it does not cross-react with other cardiac natriuretic peptides. Third, the assay forms in undiluted human serum (though the electrochemical analysis is carried out in buffer). Finally, and most important, the assay is able to detect NT-proBNP at concentrations between 0.58 and 2.33 nM. This performance approaches the critical NT-proBNP concentration threshold often used by physicians for risk stratification purposes: ∼0.116 nM.

Plastic-based lateral flow immunoassay device for electrochemical detection of NT-proBNP.

Project description:Here we report an easily fabricated, plastic-based lateral flow device for carrying out metalloimmunoassays. The device is called ocFlow to emphasize the open-channel design. We have shown that the ocFlow is capable of magnetic microbead (MμB)-based metalloimmunoassays for the detection of two types of immunoconjugates: a model composite (MC) and a sandwich immunoassay for the heart failure marker NT-proBNP. In both assays, Ag nanoparticles (AgNPs) were used as electrochemically detectable labels. NT-proBNP and MC concentrations as low as 750.0 pM and 10.0 pM, respectively, could be detected using the ocFlow device. Four key conclusions can be drawn from the results presented herein. First, immunoconjugates attached to the MμBs can be transported in the flow channel using combined hydrodynamic and capillary pressure passive pumping. Second, the ocFlow device is capable of on-chip storage, resolvation, and conjugate formation of both the MC and NT-proBNP composites. Third, electrochemical detection can be conducted on analytes suspended in serum by rinsing the electrodes with a wash buffer. Finally, and perhaps most significantly, the assay is quantitative and has a detection limit for NT-proBNP in the high picomolar range when the necessary reagents are stored on the device in a dry form.

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.

Characterizing a Silver Nanoparticle-Based Electrochemical Biosensor for Shiga Toxin Detection.

Project description:Shiga toxins (1, 2) regularly cause outbreaks and food recalls and pose a significant health risk to the infected population. Therefore, new reliable tools are needed to rapidly detect Shiga toxin cost-effectively in food, water, and wastewater before human consumption. Enzyme immunoassay and polymerase chain reaction approaches are the gold standard detection methods for the Shiga toxin. However, these methods require expensive instruments along with expensive reagents, which makes them hard to convert into point-of-use and low-cost systems. This study introduces an electrochemical biosensing method that utilizes silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) as electrochemical tags and commercially available low-cost screen-printed carbon electrodes for detection. This study introduces the modification of reference electrodes on commercially available screen-printed carbon electrodes to detect AgNPs dissolved in nitric acid. This biosensor achieved a 2 ng/mL lowest measured concentration for Shiga toxin-1 in less than 3 h. These biosensor results also showed that the AgNP-based sensor has better linearity (for graph between peak current vs concentration) and lower standard deviation compared to gold nanoparticles (AuNP)-based electrochemical biosensors.

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.

Ultrasensitive dynamic light scattering immunosensing platform for NT-proBNP detection using boronate affinity amplification.

Project description:Herein, we reported a new dynamic light scattering (DLS) immunosensing technology for the rapid and sensitive detection of glycoprotein N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP). In this design, the boronate affinity recognition based on the interaction of boronic acid ligands and cis-diols was introduced to amplify the nanoparticle aggregation to enable highly sensitive DLS transduction, thereby lowering the limit of detection (LOD) of the methodology. After covalently coupling with antibodies, magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) were employed as the nanoprobes to selectively capture trace amount of NT-proBNP from complex samples and facilitate DLS signal transduction. Meanwhile, silica nanoparticles modified with phenylboronic acid (SiO2@PBA) were designed as the crosslinking agent to bridge the aggregation of MNPs in the presence of target NT-proBNP. Owing to the multivalent and fast affinity recognition between NT-proBNP containing cis-diols and SiO2@PBA, the developed DLS immunosensor exhibited charming advantages over traditional immunoassays, including ultrahigh sensitivity with an LOD of 7.4 fg mL-1, fast response time (< 20 min), and small sample consumption (1 μL). The DLS immunosensor was further characterized with good selectivity, accuracy, precision, reproducibility, and practicability. Collectively, this work demonstrated the promising application of the designed boronate affinity amplified-DLS immunosensor for field or point-of-care testing of cis-diol-containing molecules.

LSPR-Based Aptasensor for Rapid Urinary Detection of NT-proBNP.

Project description:N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) is a myocardial stress biomarker that can be found in serum or plasma, saliva, and urine in the context of cardiovascular disease. In this study, we developed a rapid (~25 min) and straightforward localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR)-based assay for detecting NT-proBNP in urine. The assay employs citrate-capped gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) and an aptamer specific for NT-proBNP, which initially interacts with NT-proBNP. The remaining unbound aptamer then interacts with the AuNPs, and the addition of NaCl induces the aggregation of the unprotected AuNPs, resulting in a decrease in absorbance at the LSPR band (A521) and an increase in absorbance at 750 nm (A750). The concentration of NT-proBNP showed a linear correlation with the aggregation ratio (A521/A750), and the assay demonstrated a limit of detection (LOD) of 0.303 µg·L-1 and a detection range of 0.566-8 µg·L-1. However, the presence of sulfur-containing proteins in saliva and fetal bovine serum hindered the detection of NT-proBNP in these biofluids. Nevertheless, the assay successfully detected NT-proBNP in diluted urine with an LOD of 0.417 µg·L-1 and a detection range of 0.589-6 µg·L-1. The observed values in urine samples from preterm infants with cardiovascular disease fell within this range, indicating the potential clinical relevance of the assay. The recovery percentages ranged from 92.3 to 116.3%. Overall, our findings suggest that the LSPR-based assay for NT-proBNP detection in urine can be a valuable tool for the diagnosis and treatment of cardiovascular disease.

Paper-based electrochemical biosensor for diagnosing COVID-19: Detection of SARS-CoV-2 antibodies and antigen.

Project description:Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) is emerging as a global pandemic outbreak. To date, approximately one million deaths and over 32 million cases have been reported. This ongoing pandemic urgently requires an accurate testing device that can be used in the field in a fast manner. Serological assays to detect antibodies have been proven to be a great complement to the standard method of reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR), particularly after the second week of infection. We have developed a specific and sensitive immunosensor for immunoglobulin detection produced against SARS-CoV-2. Unlike other lateral flow-based assays (LFAs) involving the utilization of multiple antibodies, we have reported a label-free paper-based electrochemical platform targeting SARS-CoV-2 antibodies without the specific requirement of an antibody. The presence of SARS-CoV-2 antibodies will interrupt the redox conversion of the redox indicator, resulting in a decreased current response. This electrochemical sensor was proven effective in real clinical sera from patients with satisfactory results. In addition, the proposed format was also extended to antigen detection (the spike protein of SARS-CoV-2), which presents new possibilities for diagnosing COVID-19.
