Orthogonal analysis of mass and spectral based technologies for the field detection of bioaerosols

The detection and qualitative characterization of outdoor ambient bioaerosols have a relatively greater sense of urgency in recent times.Mass-based pyrolysis-gas chromatography-ion mobility spectrometry (Py-GC-IMS) and particle-based UV-vis fluorescence technologies were spatially situated for spore and protein bioaerosol detection in a Southeastern prairie region in Alberta, Canada. Orthogonal systems analyses versus individual detector results were investigated for the temporal characterization of bioaerosols. The systems responded to low agent analyte-containing particles per liter of air (PLA) concentrations, and were verified by reference samplers. An orthogonal technologies sensor system appears to be attractive for a high confidence detection of presence and temporal characterization of bioaerosols.     

Aptamer‐Assisted Assembly of Gold Nanoframe Dimers

The assembly of nanoframe dimers assisted by aptamer‐functionalized smaller spherical gold nanoparticles as prospective surface‐enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) biotraps for riboflavin, an important molecule for biological electron transfer reactions, is reported. In this approach, the aptamer‐coated gold nanoparticles designed for selective binding of riboflavin also serve as the electrostatic driver for nanoframe dimerization in dilute solutions. The gold nanoframe dimers provide unique conditions for plasmonic coupling in a hot spot with sufficient space for the binding of bulky biomolecules. The use of an aptamer allows for highly selective binding of the targeted analyte as compared with conventional organic ligands with excellent low detection limit of one micromole of riboflavin.

Desorption electrospray ionization mass spectrometry of intact bacteria

Desorption electrospray ionization (DESI) mass spectrometry (MS) was used to differentiate seven bacteria species on the basis of their measured DESI-mass spectral profile. Both gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria were tested and included Escherichia coli, Staphyloccocus aureus, Enterococcus sp., Bordetella bronchiseptica, Bacillus thuringiensis, Bacillus subtilis and Salmonella typhimurium. Distinct DESI-mass spectra, in the mass range of 50-500 u, were obtained from whole bacteria in either positive or negative ion modes in less than 2 mins analysis time. Positive ion DESI-mass spectral fingerprints were compared using principal components analysis (PCA) to investigate reproducibility for the intraday and the day-to-day measurements and the method selectivity to differentiate the bacteria studied. Detailed study of variances in the assay revealed that a large contribution to the DESI-mass spectral fingerprint variation was the growth media preparation procedure. Specifically, experiments conducted with the growth media prepared using the same batch yielded highly reproducible DESI-mass spectra, both in intraday and in day-to-day analyses (i.e. one batch of growth media used over a 3-day period versus a new batch every day over the same 3-day period). Conclusions are drawn from our findings in terms of strategies for rapid biodetection with DESI-MS.
