Factorial analysis of a chemiluminescence system for bromate detection in water

A chemiluminescent flow system for bromate detection, based on the reaction of bromate with sulphite in acid medium and using the steroid hydrocortisone as sensitiser, was studied. A factorial analysis strategy for the study of the effect on the system response of the experimental factors, flow rates of two pumps (Q₁ — acid sulphite plus hydrocortisone aqueous solution; Q₂ — carrier, water), sample injection volume (V_L), reactor volume (V_R), sulphite concentration (C_S), hydrocortisone concentration (C_H) and acid concentration (C_A), was used. Screening analysis of the system performance was made using Plackett Burman designs. The system optimisation procedure was achieved by three levels three factors full factorial designs. V_L and C_H are the most significant factors — a quadratic C_H term was also observed to be significant. The optimised system responded linearly (logarithm of the detector signal as function of the logarithm of the bromate concentration) in the concentration range between 3.6×10⁻⁷ and 5.0×10⁻⁴ M with a limit of detection of about 8.0×10⁻⁸ M (about 10 microg/l). An analysis of some interfering ions was made and it was suggested that bromide and chloride begin to quench chemiluminescence when they are in a 10-fold excess relatively to bromate concentration.     

Patterning of quantum dot bioconjugates via particle lithography

We present a simple technique to fabricate hexagonally ordered quantum dot bioconjugate (QDBC) dot arrays on glass coverslips. We used particle lithography to create periodic holes in a layer of methoxy-poly(ethylene glycol)-silane and then adsorbed QDBCs into the holes. To demonstrate the versatility of this technique, we made separate periodic arrays of quantum dots (QDs) conjugated to three different biologically important molecules: biotin, streptavidin, and anti-mouse IgG. The diameters of the regions where the QDBCs adsorbed were 500-600 nm and independent of the QDBC patterned. The site density of the QDBCs in the patterned holes could be varied by simply adjusting the coating concentration of the QDBC solution. We demonstrate the applicability of these substrates by designing a QDBC-based binding assay with a working concentration range of several orders of magnitude and a sub-picomolar detection limit.

Determination of bisphenol A in water via inhibition of silver nanoparticles-enhanced chemiluminescence

Sensitive detection of trace bisphenol A (BPA) in water samples has been accomplished via inhibition of luminol chemiluminescence (CL) by BPA on the silver nanoparticles (AgNPs)-enhanced luminol–KMnO₄ CL system for the first time. Under the optimized experimental conditions, the CL intensity was found to be proportional to the concentration of BPA ranging from 1.0 × 10⁻⁸ to 5.0 × 10⁻⁵ g L⁻¹. The detection limit (3σ) was estimated to be 1 × 10⁻⁹ g L⁻¹. Such a concentration level is approximately 1–4 orders of magnitude lower than those reported by other methods. The feasibility of the method for determination of BPA in real water samples has been demonstrated. Via examining CL and UV–vis spectra of the CL system, possible mechanism inherent in the AgNPs-enhanced CL assay and the follow-up inhibition of BPA on the above system was proposed. The method described herein is simple, selective and obviates the need of extensive sample pretreatment.

Determination of fenfluramine based on potassium permanganate-calcein chemiluminescence system

Calcein was found to be able to use as chemiluminescence reagent and post-chemiluminescence was observed when fenfluramine was injected into the mixture after the CL reaction of calcein–potassium permanganate. Based on this phenomenon, a flow injection CL method was established for the determination of fenfluramine. The possible CL mechanism was proposed. The CL intensity was correlated linearly with the concentration of fenfluramine over the range of 1.0 × 10⁻⁷ to 6.0 × 10⁻⁶ g mL⁻¹ and the detection limit was 6 × 10⁻⁸ g mL⁻¹. The relative standard deviation was 2.2% for 5.0 × 10⁻⁷ g mL⁻¹ fenfluramine (n = 11). This method was applied to the determination of fenfluramine in weight-reducing tonic successfully.

A new strategy for the detection of adenosine triphosphate by aptamer/quantum dot biosensor based on chemiluminescence resonance energy transfer

We designed an aptasensor for the detection of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) based on chemiluminescence resonance energy transfer (CRET). An adenosine aptamer was cut into two pieces of ssDNA, which were attached to quantum dots (QDs) and horse radish peroxidase (HRP), respectively. They could reassemble into specific structures in the presence of ATP and then decrease the distance of HRP and QDs. ATP detection can be easily realized according to the fluorescent intensity of QDs, which is excited by CRET between luminol and QDs. Results show that the concentration of ATP is linear relation with the fluorescent intensity of the peak of QDs emission and the linear range for the linear equation is from 50 μM to 231 μM and the detection limit was 185 nM. When the concentration of ATP was 2 mM, the efficiency of CRET is 13.6%. Good specificity for ATP had been demonstrated compared to thymidine triphosphate (TTP), cytidine triphosphate (CTP) and guanosine triphosphate (GTP), when 1 mM of each was added, respectively. This method needs no external light source and can avoid autofluorescence and photobleaching, and ATP can be detected selectively, specifically, and sensitively in a low micromolar range, which means that the strategy reported here can be applicable to the detection of several other target molecules.
