Rapid detection of pathogenic bacteria based on a universal dual-recognition FRET sensing system constructed with aptamer-quantum dots and lectin-gold nanoparticles

The threat to public health from bacterial infections has led to an urgent need to develop simpler, faster and more reliable bacterial detection methods. In this work, we developed a universal dual-recognition based sandwich fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) sensor by using specific aptamer-modified quantum dots (Aptamer-QDs) as energy donor and lectin concanavalin A (Con A) modified gold nanoparticles (Con A-AuNPs) as energy acceptor to achieve rapid and sensitive detection of Escherichia coli (E. coli) within 0.5 h. In the presence of the target E. coli, the energy donor of Aptamer-QDs and acceptor of Con A-AuNPs were close to each other, causing changes of FRET signals. Based on the constructed FRET sensor, a linear detection range of from 10² cfu/mL to 2 × 10⁸ cfu/mL with the detection limit of 45 cfu/mL for E. coli was achieved. Furthermore, the FRET sensor was applied to detect E. coli in the milk and orange juice with the detection limit of 300 cfu/mL and 200 cfu/mL, respectively and recovery rate from 83.1% to 112.5%. The strategy holds great promise in pathogenic bacteria detection due to its rapid and sensitivity.     

Fabrication of Tyrosinase Biosensor Based on Multiwalled Carbon Nanotubes‐Chitosan Composite and Its Application to Rapid Determination of Coliforms

A tyrosinase (Tyr) biosensor was fabricated by immobilizing Tyr on the surface of multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWNTs)‐chitosan (Chit) composite modified glassy carbon electrode (GCE). The MWNTs‐Chit composite film provided a biocompatible platform for the Tyr to retain the bioactivity and the MWNTs possessed excellent inherent conductivity to enhance the electron transfer rate. The Tyr/MWNTs‐Chit/GCE biosensor showed high sensitivity (412 mA/M), broad linear response (1.0×10^?8–2.8×10^?5 M), low detection limit (5.0 nM) and good stability (remained 93% after 10 days) for determination of phenol. The biosensor was further applied to rapid detection of the coliforms, represented by Escherichia coli (E. coli) in this work. The current responses were proportional to the quantity of coliforms in the range of 10⁴–10⁶ cfu/mL. After 5.0 h of incubation, E. coli could be detected as low as 10 cfu/mL.     

An electrochemical sensor for rapid determination of ractopamine based on a molecularly imprinted electrosynthesized o-aminothiophenol film

A simple electrochemical sensor based on a molecularly imprinted polymer film as the recognition element was developed for ractopamine (RAC) detection. This is the first report of a RAC-imprinted film on a gold electrode surface, synthesized through an electrochemical method using o-aminothiophenol as the functional monomer. The imprinting mechanism and experimental parameters affecting the capability of the imprinted film are discussed here. The sensor was successfully applied with constant potential amperometry for RAC detection in an indirect process with potassium ferricyanide as an electrochemical probe. The sensor had a rapid equilibrium time (120?s), high binding affinity and selectivity towards RAC, and with good reproducibility and stability. Under the experimental conditions applied, a linear relationship between the relative amperometric response and RAC ranged from 2.0?×?10(-7) to 1.4?×?10(-6)?mol?L(-1), with a lower limit of detection (LOD) of 2.38?×?10(-8)?mol?L(-1) (signal to noise ratio?=?3). The sensor was tested with feed samples spiked with trace amounts of RAC, with good recoveries between 87.4 and 90.5?%.     

PDMS-based gold electrode for sensing ascorbic acid

Electrode with optical shapes is appreciated in microfluidics. In this article, we reported a flexible poly(dimethylsiloxane) (PDMS)-based gold electrode for ascorbic acid detection. Gold nanoparticles were chemically deposited on PDMS and the composite film was applied as working electrode.

Limit of detection was 0.008 mM (S/N=3). This biosensor has been applied to determine ascorbic acid content in vitamin C tablets and the results were consistent with traditional iodometric method.     

Determination of Salmonella typhimurium by a Fluorescence Resonance Energy Transfer Biosensor Using Upconversion Nanoparticles as Labels

A Salmonella typhimurium (S. typhimurium) biosensor based on a fluorescence resonance energy transfer between upconversion and gold nanoparticles is reported. NaYF₄:Yb,Er nanoparticles were synthesized and modified with a S. typhimurium target DNA complementary sequence to form the sensor. Gold nanoparticles were modified with a S. typhimurium target DNA complementary sequence to constitute the quenching probe. In the presence of S. typhimurium target DNA, gold and upconversion nanoparticles formed a sandwich complex, and the upconversion fluorescence resonance energy transfer occurred. Under the optimal conditions, the relative fluorescence was proportional to the concentration of S. typhimurium target DNA in the range of 0.001 pmol/L to 1 pmol/L with a limit of detection of 1 fM. S. typhimurium was detected from 30 cfu/mL to 5150 cfu/mL with a detection limit of 3 cfu/mL. The procedure was successfully applied to determine S. typhimurium in milk and validated by a traditional plate counting method. The developed upconversion fluorescence resonance energy transfer method is simple, fast, sensitive, specific, and incorporates nanomaterials in biosensor design.     

Electrogenerated chemiluminesence method for the determination of riboflavin at an ionic liquid modified gold electrode

A highly sensitive electrogenerated chemiluminescence (ECL) method for the determination of riboflavin was developed based on the enhancement of ECL intensity of lucigenin at room temperature ionic liquids (RTILs) modified gold electrode. RTILs modified gold electrode exhibited excellent electrochemical and ECL property to lucigenin system and the ECL intensity of lucigenin was greatly enhanced by riboflavin. The characterization of the RTILs modified electrode and the attractive performance of the sensitive ECL method for the determination of riboflavin were investigated. Under the optimized conditions, the ECL intensity was directly proportional to the concentration of riboflavin in the range from 5.0×10(-10) g/mL to 1.0×10(-8)g/mL with the detection limit of 1×10(-10) g/mL. The method has been applied to the determination of riboflavin in the pharmaceutical preparations with satisfactory recovery from 96% to 101%. This work demonstrates that the incorporation of ECL method with RTILs modified electrode is a promising strategy for the determination of organic compounds with high sensitivity and good reproducibility.     

Multiplexed paper test strip for quantitative bacterial detection

Rapid, sensitive, on-site detection of bacteria without a need for sophisticated equipment or skilled personnel is extremely important in clinical settings and rapid response scenarios, as well as in resource-limited settings. Here, we report a novel approach for selective and ultra-sensitive multiplexed detection of Escherichia coli (non-pathogenic or pathogenic) using a lab-on-paper test strip (bioactive paper) based on intracellular enzyme (β-galactosidase (B-GAL) or β-glucuronidase (GUS)) activity. The test strip is composed of a paper support (0.5 × 8 cm), onto which either 5-bromo-4-chloro-3-indolyl-β-D: -glucuronide sodium salt (XG), chlorophenol red β-galactopyranoside (CPRG) or both and FeCl(3) were entrapped using sol-gel-derived silica inks in different zones via an ink-jet printing technique. The sample was lysed and assayed via lateral flow through the FeCl(3) zone to the substrate area to initiate rapid enzyme hydrolysis of the substrate, causing a change from colorless-to-blue (XG hydrolyzed by GUS, indication of nonpathogenic E. coli) and/or yellow to red-magenta (CPRG hydrolyzed by B-GAL, indication of total coliforms). Using immunomagnetic nanoparticles for selective preconcentration, the limit of detection was ~5 colony-forming units (cfu) per milliliter for E. coli O157:H7 and ~20 cfu/mL for E. coli BL21, within 30 min without cell culturing. Thus, these paper test strips could be suitable for detection of viable total coliforms and pathogens in bathing water samples. Moreover, inclusion of a culturing step allows detection of less than 1 cfu in 100 mL within 8 h, making the paper tests strips relevant for detection of multiple pathogens and total coliform bacteria in beverage and food samples.

Electrochemical determination of methimazole based on the acetylene black/chitosan film electrode and its application to rat serum samples

A novel method has been developed for the determination of methimazole, which was based on the enhanced electrochemical response of methimazole at the acetylene black/chitosan composite film modified glassy carbon electrode. The electrochemical behavior of methimazole was studied at this film electrode by cyclic voltammetry and differential pulse voltammetry. The experimental results showed that methimazole exhibited a remarkable oxidation peak at 0.63V at the film electrode. Compared with the bare glassy carbon electrode, the oxidation peak current increased greatly, and the peak potential shifted negatively, which indicated that the acetylene black/chitosan film electrode had good catalysis to the electrochemical oxidation of methimazole. The enhanced oxidation current of methimazole was indebted to the nano-porus structure of the composite film and the enlarged effective electrode area. The influences of some experimental conditions on the oxidation of methimazole were tested and the calibration plot was examined. The results indicated that the differential pulse response of methimazole was linear with its concentration in the range of 1.0×10(-7) to 2.0×10(-5)mol/L with a linear coefficient of 0.998, and in the range of 4.0×10(-5) to 3.0×10(-4)mol/L with a linear coefficient of 0.993. The detection limit was 2.0×10(-8)mol/L (S/N=3). The film electrode was used to detect the content of methimazole in rat serum samples by the standard addition method with satisfactory results.     

SERS-based sandwich immunoassay using antibody coated magnetic nanoparticles for Escherichia coli enumeration

A method combining immunomagnetic separation (IMS) and surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) was developed to enumerate Escherichia coli (E. coli). Gold-coated magnetic spherical nanoparticles were prepared by immobilizing biotin-labeled anti-E. coli antibodies onto avidin-coated magnetic nanoparticles and used in the separation and concentration of the E. coli cells. Raman labels have been constructed using rod shaped gold nanoparticles coated with 5,5-dithiobis-(2-nitrobenzoic acid) (DTNB) and subsequently with a molecular recognizer. Then DTNB-labeled gold nanorods were interacted with gold-coated magnetic spherical nanoparticle-antibody-E. coli complex. The capture efficiency and calibration graphs were obtained and examined in different E. coli concentrations (10(1)-10(7) cfu mL(-1)). The correlation between the concentration of bacteria and SERS signal was found to be linear within the range of 10(1)-10(4) cfu mL(-1) (R(2) = 0.992). The limit of detection (LOD) and limit of quantification (LOQ) values of the developed method were found to be 8 and 24 cfu mL(-1), respectively. The selectivity of the developed immunoassay was examined with Enterobacter aerogenes, Enterobacter dissolvens, and Salmonella enteriditis which did not produce any significant response. The ability of the immunoassay to detect E. coli in real water samples was also investigated and the results were compared with the experimental results from plate-counting methods. There was no significant difference between the methods that were compared (p > 0.05). This method is rapid and sensitive to target organisms with a total analysis time of less than 70 min.
