A label-free electrochemical immunosensor based on multi-functionalized graphene oxide for ultrasensitive detection of microcystin-LR

In this paper, a label-free electrochemical immunosensor for ultrasensitive detection of microcystin-leucine-arginine (MC-LR) based on multi-functionalized graphene oxide was constructed. The graphene oxide has a large surface area for the immobilization of the antibody. Meanwhile, the introduction of the AuNPs and 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium hexafluorophosphate could enhance the response of the current by improving the electrical conductivity. Thus the electrochemical immunosensor could be prepared through a one-step process and differential pulse voltammetry was employed to detect sensitively MC-LR. Under optimal conditions, the current response of the immunosensor decreased proportionally to the logarithmic concentrations of MC-LR in the range of 0.1–1000 ng/mL with a detection limit of 0.1 ng/mL (S/N = 3). This one-step label-free electrochemical immunosensor showed good performance in specificity, stability, reproducibility, and application.     

Anionic surfactant sensor based on a hetero-core structured optical fiber

A simple method of fiber optic spectrophotometric measurement for anionic surfactant is described. The probe was fabricated from hetero-core structured fiber optic that consisted of multi mode fibers and a short length of single mode fiber which was inserted in the multi mode fibers. The sensor surface was treated with octyltrimethoxysilane to adsorb the surfactant-methylene blue complex via hydrophobic interaction between the octyl group on the fiber surface and the hydrophobic group of the surfactant. Methylene blue—anionic surfactant complex adsorbed on the sensor surface caused propagating light loss because of evanescent wave interaction that was generated at the cladding. The propagating loss spectrum of the fiber showed a peak at around 610 nm. Absorbance increases with the concentration of the surfactant to reach an upper level at a concentration of 30?μm. The response time is within 30 min.     

A layer-by-layer assembly label-free electrochemical immunosensor for the detection of microcystin-LR based on CHIT/PAMAM dendrimer/silver nanocubes

Utilising the affinity and high combination ability between silver nanocubes and amino group (–NH₂), a novel electrochemical immunosensor was constructed for the ultrasensitive detection of microcystin-LR (MC-LR) based on G4-polyamidoamine (PAMAM) dendrimer and Ag nanocubes as immobilised substrate of anti-MC-LR. G4-PAMAM dendrimers were covalently bound on the chitosan (CHIT) – modified electrode by glutaraldehyde (GA), providing abundant amino groups to absorb much more Ag nanocubes comparing without using PAMAM. Subsequently, antibodies of MC-LR were immobilised with highly dense through Ag-NH₂. K₃Fe(CN)₆/K₄Fe(CN)₆ was used as electroactive redox probe. Ag nanocubes/PAMAM can enhance the antibody loading amount, which would bind more MC-LR and hinder the electron transfer of K₃Fe(CN)₆/K₄Fe(CN)₆. Differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) was employed to evaluate the analytical performance of the fabricated signal-off immunosensor. The response current had negative correlation with the concentration of MC-LR. The linear range covered was from 0.05 ng/mL to 25 μg/mL with detection limit (DL) of 0.017 ng/mL at 3σ. The proposed approach showed high specificity for the detection of MC-LR, with acceptable reproducibility, stability and reliability. Compared with the enzyme-linked immunoassay (ELISA) method by analyzing real water samples from Dian Lake, this immunosensor revealed acceptable accuracy with a relative error of 12.7%, indicating a potential alternative method for MC-LR detection in water sample.     

Development of a Fiber Optic Evanescent Wave Sensor for Anionic Surfactants Using Ethyl Violet

A rapid and simple method for the determination of anionic surfactants based on an evanescent wave fiber optic was developed using ethyl violet. The sensor was prepared by removing the middle of the multimode fiber cladding. The optical signal from ethyl violet decreased with an increase in the sodium dodecyl sulfate concentration. The calibration curve was linear from 4 to 15 milligrams per liter with a limit of detection of 3.3 milligrams per liter. This simple fiber optic sensor requires a low volume of sample and does not employ extraction with organic solvents compared with conventional methods.     

A novel dendritic surfactant for enhanced microcystin-LR detection by double amplification in a quartz crystal microbalance biosensor

Enhanced sensitivity for the hepatotoxin microcystin-LR (MC-LR) was achieved in a quartz crystal microbalance (QCM) system via double amplification. For primary amplification, an innovative interface on the QCM was obtained as a matrix by the vesicle layer formed by our synthetic dendritic surfactant, bis (amidoethyl-carbamoylethyl) octadecylamine (C18N3). The vesicle matrix was then functionalised by an optimised concentration of monoclonal antibodies against MC-LR (anti-MC-LR) to detect the analyte. The results showed that a detection limit of 100 ng/mL was achieved by primary amplification. To achieve higher sensitivity, secondary amplification was implemented with anti-MC-LR gold nanoparticle (AuNPs) conjugates as probes, which lowered the detection limit for MC-LR to 1 ng/mL (the maximum concentration recommended by the World Health Organization [WHO] in drinking water for humans). The QCM immunosensor reported here has advantages such as high sensitivity, portability, simplicity, and cost-effectiveness for MC-LR detection. It would be uniquely superior compared with current MC-LR detection techniques for on-the-spot water detection. Furthermore, the methodology described here is also potentially significant in many fields for the routine monitoring of environmental and food safety.     

Capacitive sensing of microcystin variants of Microcystis aeruginosa using a gold immunoelectrode modified with antibodies,gold nanoparticles and polytyramine

We report on the application of an automated and easy-to-use device to directly measure the immunoreactions between adda-specific monoclonal antibodies and microcystins. The antibodies were immobilized on a gold electrode whose surface was modified first with polytyramine and then with gold nanoparticles. The immunoreaction leads to a change in the capacitance of the system. Under optimum conditions, the sensor is capable of performing stable regeneration-assay cycles and has a low detection limit at a concentration of 0.01 pM level of microcystin-leucine-arginine (MC-LR). The surface of the biosensor can be regenerated with pH 2.5 glycine buffer which dissociates the antibody-antigen complex. The biosensor was used to monitor the production of microcystins during batch cultivation of Microcystis aeruginosa (isolated from ponds in Botswana). Liquid chromatography coupled to MS/MS detection was used to identify three variants, viz. MC-LR (995.6 Da), DmMC-LR (981.2 Da) and MC-LA (910.5 Da).

Fabrication, characterization, and application of potentiometric immunosensor based on biocompatible and controllable three-dimensional porous chitosan membranes

A novel three-dimensional porous chitosan membrane material was prepared as a matrix to encapsulate hepatitis B surface antibody (HBsAb) for fabrication of immunosensors. The porous chitosan matrix was prepared by electrodepositing a designer nanocomposite solution of chitosan-encapsulated silica nanoparticle hybrid film on an ITO electrode, and then removing the silica nanoparticles with HF solution. Using HBsAb as a model, the potentiometric immunosensor was constructed by linking HBsAb molecules to the three-dimensional porous chitosan film using glutaraldehyde as a cross-linker. Scanning electron microscopy was used to investigate the surface morphology of the three-dimensional porous chitosan films. Cyclic voltammograms and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy were used to probe the interfacial properties of the immunosensor. Results showed that the fabricated immunosensor with three-dimensional porous structure possessed high surface area, good mechanical stability, and good hydrophilicity, which provided a biocompatible microenvironment for maintaining the bioactivity of the immobilized protein and increased the protein loading. Therefore, the present immunosensor exhibits a wide linear range from 6.85 to 708 ng mL(-1) with a low detection limit of 3.89 ng mL(-1) for the detection of hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg). This work implied that the biocompatible and controllable three-dimensional porous chitosan membrane possessed potential applications for biosensing.     

Detection of Multiple Herbicide Residues Using A Planar Array Evanescent Field Immunosensor

ABSTRACT

A planar array evanescent immunosensor, equipped with a charge-coupled device (CCD) as a detector was used to simultaneously detect pesticides, paraoxon, carbofuran and tetrachloroethylene. Wells approximately 2.5 mm in diameter were formed on glass slides using a photoactivated optical adhesive. Coating haptens were covalently attached to the bottoms of the circular wells to form a sensing surface. The detection of the hapten was completed through competitive immuno-reaction between the coasting haptens, and haptens in solution, with the corresponding antibody in solution. The identification and amount of antibody bound at each location on the slide were determined by quantitative image analysis. Concentrations as low as 0.5ng/mL of paraoxon, 0.Ing/mL of carbofuran, and 0.2ng/mL of tetrachloroethlene could be measured.
