BIOMEDICAL OPTICS EXPRESS 2023; 14:3763-3774. [PMID: 37497519 PMCID: PMC10368036 DOI: 10.1364/boe.494783] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/05/2023] [Revised: 06/17/2023] [Accepted: 06/19/2023] [Indexed: 07/28/2023]
Abstract
A liquid crystal (LC)-based optofluidic whispering gallery mode (WGM) resonator has been applied as a biosensor to detect biotin. Immobilized streptavidin (SA) act as protein molecules and specifically bind to biotin through strong non-covalent interaction, which can interfere with the orientation of LCs by decreasing the vertical anchoring force of the alignment layer in which the WGM spectral wavelength shift is monitored as a sensing parameter. Due to the double magnification of the LC molecular orientation transition and the resonance of the WGM, the detection limit for SA can reach 1.25 fM (4.7 × 10-13 g/ml). The measurable concentration of biotin and the wavelength shift of the WGM spectrum have an excellent linearity in the range of 0 to 0.1 pg/ml, which can achieve ultra-low detection limit (0.4 fM), i.e., seven orders of magnitude improvement over conventional polarized optical microscope (POM) method. The proposed optofluidic biosensor is highly reproducible and can be used as an ultrasensitive real-time monitoring biosensor, which will open the door for applications to other receptor and ligand models.

Abstract
Polyol synthesis of silver nanocubes (Ag NCs) under dark conditions yielded nanoparticles with high uniformity and purity, as well as edge lengths of 42 nm with good stability and scattering cross-section. These nanoparticles were characterized by SEM, TEM, and Uv-vis spectroscopy. The presence of polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) as a capping agent on the surface of Ag NCs, as well as its satisfactory interaction level with Haloperidol (Hp) as an antipsychotic drug, has led to the use of these nanoparticles as Resonance RayleighScattering (RRS) probe to measure Hp. Indeed, Hp resulted in reducing the RRS signal of Ag NCs, and this change in RRS intensity was linear in the range of 10.0 to 800.0 µg L-1 of Hp. The limits of detection (LOD) and quantification (LOQ) were found to be 1.5 and 5.0 µg L-1, respectively. The influence of interfering species was studied, and it was found that the suggested method has good selectivity and can be used to monitor Hp in actual samples. As a result, this RRS probe operated well in determining Hp in pharmaceutical and human plasma samples with satisfactory recovery.

Abstract
A convenient and sensitive resonance Rayleigh scattering (RRS) method for the detection of chitosan (CTS) has been developed via forming Cu-Zn supramolecular complex by complexation reaction, hydrophobic force and electrostatic attraction. The microstructure of the complex was characterized by FT-IR, zeta potential, scanning electron microscope (SEM), UV-vis and RRS. Furthermore, the interaction mechanism among Cu(II), Zn(II), CTS and sodium dodecyl benzene sulfonate (SDBS) was studied. The results revealed that CTS and Cu(II) or Zn(II) formed a supramolecular complex with RRS enhancement in weak acid condition. In the presence of SDBS, the RRS intensity of CTS-Cu(II)-SDBS or CTS-Zn(II)-SDBS was significantly higher than that of the binary system without SDBS at the same CTS concentration. The RRS intensity of CTS-Cu(II)-Zn(II)-SDBS was higher than that of CTS-Cu(II)-SDBS and CTS-Zn(II)-SDBS. The RRS intensity increased linearly with the increase of CTS concentration made it possible to determine CTS quantitatively. In the range extending from 0.10 to 5.00 μg/mL, the equation of linear regression was ΔI=1848.8c-138.3 with a correlation coefficient 0.9996, and the detection limit was estimated to be 37.96 ng/mL. The study was successfully applied for the determination of CTS in health food samples, suggesting its great potential toward CTS analysis.

Abstract
Microstructures can improve both sensitivity and assay time in heterogeneous assays (such as ELISA) for biochemical analysis; however, it remains a challenge to perform the essential wash process in those microstructure-based heterogeneous assays. Here, we propose a sequential bioconjugation protocol to solve this problem and demonstrate a new type of fiber optofluidic laser for biosensing. Except for acting as an optical microresonator and a microstructured substrate, the miniaturized hollow optical fiber (HOF) is used as a microfluidic channel for storing and transferring reagents thanks to its capability in length extension. Through the capillary action, different reagents were sequentially withdrawn into the fiber for specific binding and washing purposes. By using the sequentially bioconjugated FOFL, avidin molecules are detected based on competitive binding with a limit of detection of 9.5 pM, ranging from 10 pM to 100 nM. It is demonstrated that a short incubation time of 10 min is good enough to allow the biomolecules to conjugate on the inner surface of the HOF. Owing to its miniaturized size, only 589 nL of liquid is required for incubation, which reduces the sample consumption and cost for each test. This work provides a tool to exploit the potential of microstructured optical fibers in high-performance biosensing.

Redox-derivatization reaction-based rapid and sensitive determination of nitrite using resonance Rayleigh scattering method. Anal Bioanal Chem 2020; 412:1087-1096. [PMID: 31900527 DOI: 10.1007/s00216-019-02333-9] [Citation(s) in RCA: 10] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/01/2019] [Revised: 11/14/2019] [Accepted: 12/05/2019] [Indexed: 01/15/2023]
Abstract
It remains a problem for direct detection of small inorganic nitrite ions using resonance Rayleigh scattering (RRS) method based on the direct dye-binding reaction. In the present study, a redox-derivatization reaction taking only 5 min was introduced prior to nitrite detection. In the redox-derivatization reaction, nitrite ions were reduced by excess iodine ions to generate triiodide ions (I3-), which were further derivatized with a cationic dye (basic violet 1, BV1) to form the ion associates of I3--BV1. Therefore, the RRS signal was significantly enhanced, resulting from the increase of particle size and resonance-enhanced scattering effect. The analytical procedure was performed by just mixing nitrite, oxidant, acid, and dye all-in-one, avoiding the tediousness of a multi-step process or the preparation of nanoparticles. The whole detection process including the redox-derivatization reaction was less than 6 min. The reaction conditions such as concentration of hydrochloric acid, potassium iodide, and BV1, reaction time, and temperature were investigated. Under optimum conditions, the concentration of nitrite was linear with an RRS signal of I3--BV1 ion associates at 320 nm in the range of 0.015-1.2 mg/L. The limit of detection (LOD) was calculated to be 3.0 μg/L. The RRS method was applied to the determination of nitrite in real samples such as pork sausage, milk powder, and water with recovery of 95.2-112%. With advantages of rapidness, high sensitivity, and high selectivity, the method indicates potential applicability for detection of nitrite in complex samples. The method also provides an instructive protocol for detection of analytes that generate no/weak RRS enhancement after the direct dye-binding reaction. Graphical abstract.
