Biosens Bioelectron 2023; 237:115537. [PMID: 37467534 DOI: 10.1016/j.bios.2023.115537] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/23/2022] [Revised: 06/20/2023] [Accepted: 07/13/2023] [Indexed: 07/21/2023]
Abstract
A surface plasmon resonance (SPR) optical fiber sensor with multimode-coreless-multimode (MNM) structure was developed, which modified by L-glutamine-binding protein (QBP) for detection of L-glutamine (Gln). The QBP was immobilized on the surface of gold films by chemical cross-linking and exhibited a binding affinity for L-glutamine. The conformation of QBP can be changed from the "open" to the "closed", which led to a red-shift of the SPR peak when QBP bounded to L-glutamine. There was a good linear correlation between is a dependence of the SPR peak on and the concentration of L-glutamine concentration in the range 10-100 μM, with a sensitivity of 10.797nm/log10[Gln] for L-glutamine in the in vitro embryo culture (IVC) medium environment, and the limit of detection (LOD) is 1.187 μM. This QBP-modified MNM structure optical fiber SPR sensor provides a new idea for the developmental potential assessment of embryos in the process of in vitro embryo culture.

Abstract
Here we report a reagentless fluorescence sensing technique for glutamine in the submicromolar range based on the glutamine binding protein (QBP). The S179C mutant is labeled with the short-lived acrylodan (lifetime<5ns) and the long-lived tris(dibenzoylmethane) mono(5-amino-1,10-phenanthroline)europium(III) (lifetime > 300 micros) at the -SH and the N-terminal positions, respectively. In the presence of glutamine the fluorescence of acrylodan is quenched, while the fluorescence of europium complex remains constant. In this report we describe an innovative technique, the so called lifetime assisted ratiometric sensing to discriminate the two fluorescence signals using minimal optics and power requirements. This method exploits the large difference between the fluorescence lifetimes of the two fluorophores to isolate the individual fluorescence from each other by alternating the modulation frequency of the excitation light between 300 Hz and 10 kHz. The result is a ratiometric optical method that does not require expensive and highly attenuating band pass filters for each of the dyes, but only one long pass filter for both. Thus, the signal to noise ratio is enhanced, and at the same time, the optical setup is simplified. The end product is a simple sensing device suitable for low-cost applications such as point-of-care diagnostics or in-the-field analysis.

Abstract
A direct competitive chemiluminescent immunosensor system that exploits the competition between chloramphenicol (CAP) as an analyte and CAP-horseradish peroxidase conjugate as a tracer for binding to an anti-CAP antibody on a solid support was devised by installing a flow-through cell which was connected to an injector and a peristaltic pump inside a dark box, followed by positioning a photomultiplier tube as light detector in front of it. The anti-CAP antibody was immobilized onto positively charged Biodyne B membrane pieces by a dipping procedure. The operating conditions for the immunosensor were selected with respect to substrate composition (0.25, 13.3 and 0.66 mM for luminol, H2O2 and p-iodophenol, respectively), injection volume of the substrate solution (200 microL) and the concentrations of antibody for immobilization (0.10 mg mL(-1)) and tracer (0.030 mg mL(-1)). At these conditions, sensor response according to analyte concentration was well fitted to a linear equation when plotted in semi-logarithmic scale, with the limit of detection for CAP of 10(-8) M. By using the immunosensor, CAP measurement in the model samples prepared from five food materials was conducted.

Abstract
We describe herein the construction of a novel computerized multi-sample temperature-controlled luminometer for a fiber array-based biosensor to monitor circulating phagocyte activity. It can perform simultaneously integral measurements of chemiluminescence emitted from up to six samples containing less than 0.5 microl whole blood while the samples and detector do not change their position during the measurement cycle. The optical fibers in this luminometer are used as both light guides and solid phase sample holders. The latter feature of the instrument design simplifies the assessment process of both the extra-cellular and the intra-cellular parts of the phagocyte-emitted chemiluminescence using the same system. We describe some examples or proof of principle for the use of the biosensor. This new technology may find use in a wide range of analytical luminescence applications in biology, biophysics, biochemistry, toxicology and clinical medicine.

Abstract
Glutamine is a major source of nitrogen and carbon in cell culture media. Thus, glutamine monitoring is important in bioprocess control. Here we report a reagentless fluorescence sensing for glutamine based on the Escherichia coli glutamine-binding protein (GlnBP) that is sensitive in the submicromolar ranges. The S179C variant of GlnBP was labeled at the -SH and N-terminal positions with acrylodan and ruthenium bis-(2,2'-bipyridyl)-1,10-phenanthroline-9-isothiocyanate, respectively. The acrylodan emission is quenched in the presence of glutamine while the ruthenium acts as a nonresponsive long-lived reference. The apparent binding constant, K'(d), of 0.72 microM was calculated from the ratio of emission intensities of acrylodan and ruthenium (I(515)/I(610)). The presence of the long-lived ruthenium allowed for modulation sensing at lower frequencies (1-10 MHz) approaching an accuracy of +/-0.02 microM glutamine. Dual-frequency ratiometric sensing was also demonstrated. Finally, the extraordinary sensitivity of GlnBP allows for dilution of the sample, thereby eliminating the effects of background fluorescence from the culture media.

Abstract
A novel detection method for catecholamines using imidazole was investigated using a chemiluminescence coupled flow injection system. Imidazole catalysed decomposition of catecholamines to generate hydrogen peroxide, then the hydrogen peroxide was detected by chemiluminescence. The optimal condition for generation of hydrogen peroxide from a catecholamine was to incubate the catecholamines (53 pmol) in an imidazole solution (50 mmol/L, pH 9.0, 1.0 mL) at 60 degrees C for 30 min. Peroxide-was detected by peroxyoxalate chemiluminescence, and the rank order of the light emission intensities was as follows; dopamine (100%) >epinephrine (78%) >L-DOPA (62%) >norepinephrine (58%) >deoxyepinephrine (51%) >isoproterenol (43%) >dihydroxybenzylamine (25%). The light intensities of the reaction mixtures (corresponding to 1.06 pmol catecholamines) varied depending on the chemiluminescence (CL) detection reaction, and the rank order of the light intensity was as follows; luminol CL catalysed with horseradish peroxidase (HRP) (371%) >peroxyoxalate chemiluminescence (100%) >luminol CL catalysed with ferrycyanide (62%) >lucigenin CL (15%) >pyrogallol CL (0.8%) >purpurogallin CL (0.4%) >luminol CL (0.3%). The luminol CL reaction catalysed by HRP is recommended for the detection of peroxide in this method for catecholamines.

Abstract
A chemiluminescence fiber optic system coupled to flow injection analysis (FIA) and ion exchange chromatography has been developed for determining glucose in blood and urine. Immobilized glucose oxidase acted on beta-D-glucose to produce hydrogen peroxide, which was then reacted with luminol in the presence of ferricyanide to produce a light signal. Endogenous ascorbic acid and uric acid present in urine or blood samples were effectively retained by an upstream acetate anion exchanger. In addition, acetaminophen could also be adsorbed by this ion exchanger. The detection system exhibited a sensitivity of 1.315 +/- 0.044 RU microM-1 for glucose with a minimum detection level of 1 microM. When applied for the determination of urinary and blood glucose levels, the results obtained compared well with those of the reference hexokinase assay. Immobilized glucose oxidase was reused for over 500 analyses without losing its original activity. A conservative estimate for the reuse of the acetate ion exchange column was about 100 analyses.

Abstract
Over the past year, biosensor development has been an active area of research. The actual application of biosensors in process monitoring and control is limited to a few cases, mainly as a result of difficulties relating to their long-range stability and their sensitivity to interfering compounds. Steam sterilization is no longer a problem though, as the great majority of sensors are part of flow-injection analysis systems.
