A label free aptasensor for Ochratoxin A detection in cocoa beans: An application to chocolate industries

Contamination of food by mycotoxin occurs in minute/trace quantities. Nearly 92.5% of the cocoa samples present Ochratoxin A (OTA) levels at trace quantity. Hence, there is a necessity for a highly sensitive and selective device that can detect and quantify these organic toxins in various matrices such as cocoa beans. This work reports for the first time, a facile and label-free electrochemical impedimetric aptasensor for rapid detection and quantitation of OTA in cocoa beans. The developed aptasensor was constructed based on the diazonium-coupling reaction mechanism for the immobilization of anti-OTA-aptamer on screen printed carbon electrodes (SPCEs). The aptasensor exhibited a very good limit of detection (LOD) as low as 0.15 ng/mL, with added advantages of good selectivity and reproducibility. The increase in electron transfer resistance was linearly proportional to the OTA concentration in the range 0.15–2.5 ng/mL, with an acceptable recovery percentage (91–95%, RSD = 4.8%) obtained in cocoa samples. This work can facilitate a general model for the detection of OTA in cocoa beans based on the impedimetric aptasensor. The analysis can be performed onsite with pre-constructed and aptamer modified electrodes employing a portable EIS set up.     

Electrochemical Aptasensor for the Determination of Ochratoxin A at the Au Electrode Modified with Ag Nanoparticles Decorated with Macrocyclic Ligand

An electrochemical aptasensor for ochratoxin A (OTA) detection has been developed on the base of a gold electrode covered with electropolymerized neutral red and silver nanoparticles obtained by chemical reduction with macrocyclic ligands bearing catechol fragments. Thiolated aptamers against OTA were covalently attached to silver nanoparticles via Ag? S bonding. The interaction with OTA induced the conformational switch of the aptamer, which caused increase of the charge transfer resistance measured by EIS in the presence of ferricyanide ions. The LOD achieved (0.05 nM) was comparable to other electrochemical aptasensors employing sophisticated assembling technique and enzyme amplification of the signal. The aptasensor was validated in spiked beer samples. The recovery of the OTA determination was found to be 66.3±14.1 % for light beer and 64.3±1.8 % for dark beer.

Immunochromatographic assay for the detection of ochratoxin A

The detection of mycotoxins—toxic contaminants of fungal origin—is an important problem in the food and feed quality control. An immunochromatographic system was developed for the detection of ochratoxin A (OTA), which is one of the priority contaminants in grain. Monoclonal antibodies against OTA and their conjugates with colloidal gold nanoparticles were prepared. The detection is based on the competition of OTA in a sample and an OTA-protein conjugate immobilized on a test strip for the binding to anti-bodies on the colloidal particle surface. The method was tested in the analysis of plant extracts (maize and barley extracts). It was shown that OTA can be detected in a medium with a high content of an organic solvent (up to 35% of methanol). The disappearance of the line in the test zone is visually detected at OTA concentrations starting from 50 ng/mL. In the case of the video-digital detection of changes in the color intensity of the test zone, the limit of detection of OTA is 5 ng/mL. The duration of the assay is 10 min.     

Photoelectrochemical immunoassay for microcystin-LR based on a fluorine-doped tin oxide glass electrode modified with a CdS-graphene composite

We report on a sensitive electrochemical aptasensor for the detection of human prostate specific antigen (PSA). It is based on the signal amplification of the biotin-avidin system using a sensing platform that is making use of a graphite electrode modified with gold nanoparticles that were covered with graphitized mesoporous carbon nanoparticles (AuNPs@GMCs). The AuNPs@GMCs hybrid was prepared by linking 1,6-hexanedithiol-functionalized GMCs and gold nanoparticles via Au-S groups. Then, streptavidin was immobilized on the electrode modified with the AuNPs@GMCs so to enlarge the amount of biotin-aptamer which led to enhanced detection sensitivity. If an PSA aptamer captures the target PSA on the electrode, the differential pulse voltammetric (DPV) signal of the hexacyanoferrate redox system decreases. Factors affecting the performance of the aptasensor were studied in detail. Under optimal conditions, the DPV signal changes could be used to quantitatively detect PSA in the concentration range from 0.25 to 200?ng?mL^?1, with a lowest limit of detection as small as 0.25?ng?mL^?1. The aptasensor is highly specific and displays acceptable precision, good stability and repeatability.

In addition, the average recoveries of spiked corn and beer samples were in the range of 89 % to 102 %. The established method is of great significance in the field of food safety detection.     

Immunochromatographic Test Systems using Anti-Species Antibodies–Colloidal Gold Conjugate: Their Features and Benefits on the Example of Ochratoxin A Detection

The traditional immunochromatographic assay using a conjugate of gold nanoparticles with specific ochratoxin A (OTA) antibodies and a new type of assay with indirect labeling using a combination of free antibodies and a conjugate of gold nanoparticles with anti-species antibodies were compared using the example of OTA detection. In the proposed assay, specific antibodies are included in the sample dilution buffer, which increases the duration of their interaction with the antigen, while a conjugate of anti-species antibodies with the marker is applied to the test strip. The assay was approbated for OTA detection in maize extracts. Transition to indirect labeling was shown to reduce the OTA detection limit by two orders of magnitude up to 0.12 ng/mL. The causes of this improvement are discussed. The high sensitivity of immunochromatography with indirect labeling makes it a promising approach for detection of various antigens with low molecular weight.     

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.     

Amperometric Immunosensor Based on L-Cysteine/Gold Colloidal Nanoparticles for Carbofuran Detection

In this study, anti-carbofuran monoclonal antibodies (Ab) were immobilized onto a gold electrode surface modified with multilayers of L-cysteine and gold colloidal nanoparticles (GNPs). Furthermore, horseradish peroxidase (HRP) as enzyme membrane was used for blocking unspecific sites and amplifying signal. The conformational properties of the immunosensor were characterized using electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) and cyclic voltammetry (CV). The concentration of antibody solution, pH of working buffer and incubation time were studied in detail for optimization of analytical performance. Under optimal conditions, the variation of current response was proportional to the concentration of carbofuran which ranged from 0.01 ng/mL to 50 ng/mL with a correlation coefficient of 0.9912. The detection limit was 0.01 ng/mL (S/N = 3). The proposed immunosensor exhibited good reproducibility and stability and it can be used for the rapid detection of carbofuran pesticide.
