Rapid and highly sensitive detection of lead ions in drinking water based on a strip immunosensor.

ABSTRACT: In this study, we have first developed a rapid and sensitive strip immunosensor based on two heterogeneously-sized gold nanoparticles (Au NPs) probes for the detection of trace lead ions in drinking water. The sensitivity was 4-fold higher than that of the conventional LFA under the optimized conditions. The visual limit of detection (LOD) of the amplified method for qualitative detection lead ions was 2 ng/mL and the LOD for semi-quantitative detection could go down to 0.19 ng/mL using a scanning reader. The method suffered from no interference from other metal ions and could be used to detect trace lead ions in drinking water without sample enrichment. The recovery of the test samples ranged from 96% to 103%. As the detection method could be accomplished within 15 min, this method could be used as a potential tool for preliminary monitoring of lead contamination in drinking water.

Screen Printed Based Impedimetric Immunosensor for Rapid Detection of Escherichia coli in Drinking Water.

Project description:The development of a simple and low cost electrochemical impedance immunosensor based on screen printed gold electrode for rapid detection of Escherichia coli in water is reported. The immunosensor is fabricated by immobilizing anti-E. coli antibodies onto a gold surface in a covalent way by the photochemical immobilization technique, a simple procedure able to bind antibodies upright onto gold surfaces. Impedance spectra are recorded in 0.01 M phosphate buffer solution (PBS) containing 10 mM Fe(CN)63-/Fe(CN)64- as redox probe. The Nyquist plots can be modelled with a modified Randles circuit, identifying the charge transfer resistance Rct as the relevant parameter after the immobilization of antibodies, the blocking with BSA and the binding of E. coli. The introduction of a standard amplification procedure leads to a significant enhancement of the impedance increase, which allows one to measure E. coli in drinking water with a limit of detection of 3 × 101 CFU mL-1 while preserving the rapidity of the method that requires only 1 h to provide a "yes/no" response. Additionally, by applying the Langmuir adsorption model, we are able to describe the change of Rct in terms of the "effective" electrode, which is modified by the detection of the analyte whose microscopic conducting properties can be quantified.

A Highly Sensitive Immunochromatographic Strip Test for Rapid and Quantitative Detection of Saikosaponin d.

Project description:A quantitative lateral-flow immunoassay using gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) conjugated with a monoclonal antibody (MAb) against saikosaponin d (SSd) was developed for the analysis of SSd. The AuNPs were prepared in our laboratory. The AuNPs were polyhedral, with an average diameter of approximately 18 nm. We used the conjugation between AuNPs and MAbs against SSd to prepare immunochromatographic strips (ICSs). For the quantitative experiment, the strips with the test results were scanned using a membrane strip reader, and a detection curve (regression equation, y = -0.113ln(x) + 1.5451, R² = 0.983), representing the averages of the scanned data, was obtained. This curve was linear from 96 ng/mL to 150 ?g/mL, and the IC50 value was 10.39 ?g/mL. In this study, we bring the concept ofPOCT (point-of-care testing) to the measurement of TCM compounds, and this is the first report of quantitative detection of SSd by an ICS.

Immunosensor for Rapid and Sensitive Detection of Digoxin.

Project description:Digoxin is a cardiac glycosylated steroid-like drug with a positive inotropic effect and has been widely used in treating congestive heart failure, atrial fibrillation, atrial flutter, and other heart diseases. Digoxin is also a dangerous drug, which can cause drug poisoning at a low blood drug concentration (2.73-3.9 nmol/L, i.e., 2.14-3.05 ng/mL). Therefore, the timely detection of a patient's blood drug concentration plays a significant role in controlling blood drug concentration, reducing the occurrence of drug poisoning events, and maximizing the role of drug therapy. In this study, a DNA vector for the expression of the antidigoxin antibody Fab fragment was constructed. With the vector, Fab was expressed in E. coli and purified, and 1.2 mg of antibodies was obtained from 100 mL of culture. An immunofluorescent sensor based on the mechanism of photoinduced electron transfer was constructed by labeling additional cysteines in the heavy chain variable region and light chain variable region of the antibody Fab fragment with fluorescent dyes. The assay for digoxin with the immunosensor could be finished within 5 min with a limit of detection of 0.023 ng/mL, a detectable range of 0.023 ng/mL to 100 μg/mL, and an EC50 of 0.256 ng/mL. A new approach for the rapid detection of digoxin was developed and will contribulte to therapeutic drug monitoring.

A reusable evanescent wave immunosensor for highly sensitive detection of bisphenol A in water samples.

Project description:This paper proposed a compact and portable planar waveguide evanescent wave immunosensor (EWI) for highly sensitive detection of BPA. The incident light is coupled into the planar waveguide chip via a beveled angle through undergoing total internal reflection, where the evanescent wave field forms and excites the binding fluorophore-tagged antibodies on the chip surface. Typical calibration curves obtained for BPA has detection limits of 0.03 μg/L. Linear response for BPA ranged from 0.124 μg/L-9.60 μg/L with 50% inhibition concentration for BPA of 1.09 ± 0.25 μg/L. The regeneration of the planar optical waveguide chip allows the performance of more than 300 assay cycles within an analysis time of about 20 min for each assay cycle. By application of effective pretreatment procedure, the recoveries of BPA in real water samples gave values from 88.3% ± 8.5% to 103.7% ± 3.5%, confirming its application potential in the measurement of BPA in reality.

Electrochemical immunosensor for rapid and highly sensitive detection of SARS-CoV-2 antigen in the nasal sample.

Project description:A label-free electrochemical biosensing approach as an appropriate analysis technique for SARS-CoV-2 spike protein (SARS-CoV-2 S-protein) was investigated to facilitate the diagnosis of coronavirus in real samples. It is crucial to construct diagnostic features that can rapidly identify infected individuals to limit the spread of the virus and assign treatment choices. Therefore, a novel and selective method using SiO2@UiO-66 and a label-free electrochemical immunoassay for rapidly detecting spike protein. The development of innovative approaches for direct viral detection employing simplified and ideally reagent-free assays is a pressing and difficult topic. The absence of speedy and effective ways to diagnose viral diseases especially SARS-CoV-2 on demand has worsened the issue of combating the COVID-19 pandemic. The developed electrode illustrated a wide dynamic range of 100.0 fg mL-1 to 10.0 ng mL-1 with low limit detection. Therefore, the as-fabricated electrochemical SARS-CoV-2 S-protein sensor suggests an appropriate perspective in the point-of-care system, within 5.0 min, in nasal samples with satisfactory recovery.

Phosphorescent immunosensor for simple and sensitive detection of microcystin-LR in water.

Project description:A simple and sensitive Mn-ZnS quantum dot room-temperature phosphorescent immunosensor for detecting microcystin-LR was developed. This sensor adopted antigens and antibodies as recognition units and used Mn-ZnS RTP QDs as sensing materials to specifically bind with MC-LR. The structurally specific binding between the microcystin-LR antibody and MC-LR led to the aggregation of antibody-crosslinked QDs, and then the electrons of QDs would be transferred to the complex, leading to the phosphorescence quenching of QDs. The microcystin-LR antigen-antibody specific binding site was first analyzed. This phosphorescent immunosensor rapidly and sensitively detected microcystin-LR, with linear ranges of 0.2-1.5 μg L-1 and 1.5-20 μg L-1 and a detection limit of up to 0.024 μg L-1. Meanwhile, coexisting pollutants of microcystin-LR in water did not significantly interfere with microcystin-LR detection. The new sensor was applied to detect real water samples and showed high sensitivity and selectivity.

Hollow Au-Ag Nanoparticles Labeled Immunochromatography Strip for Highly Sensitive Detection of Clenbuterol.

Project description:The probe materials play a significant role in improving the detection efficiency and sensitivity of lateral-flow immunochromatographic test strip (ICTS). Unlike conventional ICTS assay usually uses single-component, solid gold nanoparticles as labeled probes, in our present study, a bimetallic, hollow Au-Ag nanoparticles (NPs) labeled ICTS was successfully developed for the detection of clenbuterol (CLE). The hollow Au-Ag NPs with different Au/Ag mole ratio and tunable size were synthesized by varying the volume ratio of [HAuCl4]:[Ag NPs] via the galvanic replacement reaction. The surface of hollow Ag-Au NPs was functionalized with 11-mercaptoundecanoic acid (MUA) for further covalently bonded with anti-CLE monoclonal antibody. Overall size of the Au-Ag NPs, size of the holes within individual NPs and also Au/Ag mole ratio have been systematically optimized to amplify both the visual inspection signals and the quantitative data. The sensitivity of optimized hollow Au-Ag NPs probes has been achieved even as low as 2?ppb in a short time (within 15?min), which is superior over the detection performance of conventional test strip using Au NPs. The optimized hollow Au-Ag NPs labeled test strip can be used as an ideal candidate for the rapid screening of CLE in food samples.

Highly Sensitive Detection for Mercury Ions Using Graphene Oxide (GO) Sensors.

Project description:The mercury ion (Hg2+) is one of the heavy metal ions, and its presence in trace amounts can cause physiological damage to an organism. Traditional methods of Hg2+ detection have been useful but have also had numerous limitations and challenges, and as a result, it is important to design new and sophisticated methods that can aid in the detection of Hg2+. In this paper, two fluorescent dyes, carboxyfluorescein (FAM) and SYBR Green I, were used to label and intercalate DNA probes immobilized on the surface of graphene oxide (GO) for sensors to detect Hg2+. FAM and SYBR Green I dye share close excitation and emission wavelength spectra, which can promote and amplify the detection of signals, and also increase the limit of detection (LOD). The results showed that the limit of detection in this method was 0.53 nM. Moreover, when the sensors with double amino groups on the surface of GO were carried out to detect Hg2+, a limit of detection was improved to 0.43 nM. The sensors were then applied in the real sample. The results show that this method has a promising potential in Hg2+ detection.

Highly Sensitive Ratiometric Fluorescent Paper Sensors for the Detection of Fluoride Ions.

Project description:Two sensitive and ratiometric fluorescent probes (probe I and probe II) were developed for the detection of fluoride ions. Probe I can detect fluoride ions quantitatively within a range of 0-6 μM and a detection limit of 73 nM, while probe II has a range of 0-40 μM and a detection limit of 138 nM. The test strips from probe I are quickly able to recognize F- (5 min) inside of the F- safety level in drinking water (1.0 mg/L, ∼5 μM) under 254 nm ultraviolet light, and the test strips from probe II quickly recognize F- (12 min) in dangerously high F- levels in water (4.0 mg/L, ∼21 μM) under 254 nm ultraviolet light. This combination of fluorescent paper sensors from probe I and probe II can be used as a simple and convenient tool to determine whether water is safe to drink or dangerous.
