SENSORS (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2024; 24:5536. [PMID: 39275446 PMCID: PMC11397741 DOI: 10.3390/s24175536] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/17/2024] [Revised: 08/08/2024] [Accepted: 08/22/2024] [Indexed: 09/16/2024]
Abstract
Particle plasmon resonance (PPR), or localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR), utilizes intrinsic resonance in metal nanoparticles for sensor fabrication. While diffraction grating waveguides monitor bioaffinity adsorption with out-of-plane illumination, integrating them with PPR for biomolecular detection schemes remains underexplored. This study introduces a label-free biosensing platform integrating PPR with a diffraction grating waveguide. Gold nanoparticles are immobilized on a glass slide in contact with a sample, while a UV-assisted embossed diffraction grating is positioned opposite. The setup utilizes diffraction in reflection to detect changes in the environment's refractive index, indicating biomolecular binding at the gold nanoparticle surface. The positional shift of the diffracted beam, measured with varying refractive indices of sucrose solutions, shows a sensitivity of 0.97 mm/RIU at 8 cm from a position-sensitive detector, highlighting enhanced sensitivity due to PPR-diffraction coupling near the gold nanoparticle surface. Furthermore, the sensor achieved a resolution of 3.1 × 10-4 refractive index unit and a detection limit of 4.4 pM for detection of anti-DNP. The sensitivity of the diffracted spot was confirmed using finite element method (FEM) simulations in COMSOL Multiphysics. This study presents a significant advancement in biosensing technology, offering practical solutions for sensitive, rapid, and label-free biomolecule detection.

Abstract
In this paper, we present a system intended to detect a targeted perfect sinusoidal profile of a diffraction grating during its manufactured process. Indeed, the sinusoidal nature of the periodic structure is essential to ensure optimal efficiency of specific applications as plasmonic sensors (surface plasmon resonance -based sensors). A neural network is implemented to characterize the geometrical shape of the structure under testing at the end of the laser interference lithography process. This decision tool operates in classifier mode prior to further processing. Then, the geometrical parameters of the structure can be reliably determined if necessary. Two solutions can be considered: the detection of a fixed geometrical shape operating on a binary mode and the identification of a geometrical shape from a limited number of profiles. These methods are validated in the context of plasmonic sensors on experimental sinusoidal grating structures with a grating period of 627 nm.

Rapid and reliable ultrasensitive detection of pathogenic H9N2 viruses through virus-binding phage nanofibers decorated with gold nanoparticles. Biosens Bioelectron 2023; 237:115423. [PMID: 37311406 DOI: 10.1016/j.bios.2023.115423] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 7.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/02/2022] [Revised: 03/19/2023] [Accepted: 05/22/2023] [Indexed: 06/15/2023]
Abstract
The rapid and sensitive detection of pathogenic viruses is important for controlling pandemics. Herein, a rapid, ultrasensitive, optical biosensing scheme was developed to detect avian influenza virus H9N2 using a genetically engineered filamentous M13 phage probe. The M13 phage was genetically engineered to bear an H9N2-binding peptide (H9N2BP) at the tip and a gold nanoparticle (AuNP)-binding peptide (AuBP) on the sidewall to form an engineered phage nanofiber, M13@H9N2BP@AuBP. Simulated modelling showed that M13@H9N2BP@AuBP enabled a 40-fold enhancement of the electric field enhancement in surface plasmon resonance (SPR) compared to conventional AuNPs. Experimentally, this signal enhancement scheme was employed for detecting H9N2 particles with a sensitivity down to 6.3 copies/mL (1.04 × 10-5 fM). The phage-based SPR scheme can detect H9N2 viruses in real allantoic samples within 10 min, even at very low concentrations beyond the detection limit of quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR). Moreover, after capturing the H9N2 viruses on the sensor chip, the H9N2-binding phage nanofibers can be quantitatively converted into plaques that are visible to the naked eye for further quantification, thereby allowing us to enumerate the H9N2 virus particles through a second mode to cross-validate the SPR results. This novel phage-based biosensing strategy can be employed to detect other pathogens because the H9N2-binding peptides can be easily switched with other pathogen-binding peptides using phage display technology.

Abstract
Investigating the interactions between small, charged molecules and aptamers using surface plasmon resonance (SPR) is limited by the inherent low response of small molecules and difficulties with nonspecific electrostatic interactions between the aptamer, analyte, and sensor surface. However, aptamers are increasingly being used in sensors for small molecule detection in critical areas like healthcare and environmental safety. The ability to probe these interactions through simple, direct SPR assays would be greatly beneficial and allow for the development of improved sensors without the need for complicated signal enhancement. However, these assays are nearly nonexistent in the current literature and are instead surpassed by sandwich or competitive binding techniques, which require additional sample preparation and reagents. In this work, we develop a method to characterize the interaction between the charged small molecule serotonin (176 Da) and an aptamer with SPR using streptavidin-biotin capture and a high-ionic-strength buffer. Additionally, other methods, such as serotonin immobilization and thiol-coupling of the aptamer, were investigated for comparison. These techniques give insight into working with small molecules and allow for quickly adapting a binding affinity assay into a direct SPR sensor.

Abstract
Impelled by the need to find solutions to new challenges of modern technologies new materials with unique properties are being explored. Among various new materials that emerged over the decades, magnetic fluids exhibiting interesting physiochemical properties (optical, thermal, magnetic, rheological, apparent density, etc.) under a magnetic stimulus have been at the forefront of research. In the initial phase, there has been a fervent scientific curiosity to understand the field-induced intriguing properties of such fluids but later a plethora of technological applications emerged. Magnetic nanofluid, popularly known as ferrofluid, is a colloidal suspension of fine magnetic nanoparticles, has been at the forefront of research because of its magnetically tunable physicochemical properties and applications. Due to their stimuli-responsive behaviour, they have been finding more applications in biology and other engineering disciplines in recent years. Therefore, a critical review of this topic highlighting the necessary background, the potential of this material for emerging technologies, and the latest developments is warranted. This review also provides a summary of various applications, along with the key challenges and future research directions. The first part of the review addresses the different types of magnetic fluids, the genesis of magnetic fluids, their synthesis methodologies, properties, and stabilization techniques are discussed in detail. The second part of the review highlights the applications of magnetic nanofluids and nanoemulsions (as model systems) in probing order-disorder transitions, scattering, diffraction, magnetically reconfigurable internal structures, molecular interaction, and weak forces between colloidal particles, conformational changes of macromolecules at interfaces and polymer-surfactant complexation at the oil-water interface. The last part of the review summarizes the interesting applications of magnetic fluids such as heat transfer, sensors (temperature, pH, urea detection, cations, defect detection sensors), tunable optical filters, removal of dyes, dynamic seals, magnetic hyperthermia-based cancer therapy and other biomedical applications. The applications of magnetic nanofluids in diverse disciplines are growing day by day, yet there are challenges in their practical adaptation as field-worthy or packaged products. This review provides a pedagogical description of magnetic fluids, with the necessary background, key concepts, physics, experimental protocols, design of experiments, challenges and future directions.

Abstract
A surface plasmon resonance imaging (SPRi) platform integrated with a smartphone was constructed for the simultaneous and sensitive detection of acute kidney injury (AKI) biomarkers. The smartphone SPRi platform was developed without the requirement of additional light and power sources. The LED flash of the smartphone was used as the light source for the excitation of surface plasmon resonance of a gold sensor chip based on the Kretschmann configuration, while the reflected light was collected by the camera of the smartphone. This smartphone SPRi system was conveniently fabricated by 3D printing and showed a sensitivity of 1.78 × 10-5 refractive index unit (RIU). In addition, based on a magnetic nanoparticle-enhanced sandwich immunoassay, the smartphone SPRi system with a gold array chip was employed for the detection of multiple AKI biomarkers, with a low limit of detection (LOD) of 0.19 ng ml-1, 0.51 ng ml-1 and 0.7 ng ml-1 for the simultaneous detection of neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL), interleukin-18 (IL-18) and retinol-binding protein (RBP) in urine, respectively. The biosensors demonstrated high specificity and sensitivity for the simultaneous detection of multiple AKI biomarkers in PBST and urine. The smartphone SPRi system provided a portable and cost-effective platform for point-of-care diagnosis, in-field healthcare and environmental monitoring.

Abstract
Non-specific binding (NSB) is one of the important issues in biosensing performance. Herein, we designed a strategy for removing non-specific binding including anti-mouse IgG antibody and bovine serum albumin (BSA) by utilizing anisotropic cadmium selenide tetrapods (CdSe TPs) in a vortex flow. The shear force on the tetrapod nanoparticles was increased by controlling the rotation rate of the vortex flow from 0 rpm to 1000 rpm. As a result, photoluminescence (PL) signals of fluorescein (FITC)-conjugated protein, anti-mouse IgG antibody-FITC and bovine serum albumin (BSA)-FITC, were reduced by 35% and 45%, respectively, indicating that NSB can be removed under vortex flow. In particular, simultaneous NSB removal and protein capture can be achieved even with mixture solutions of target antibodies and anti-mouse IgG antibodies by applying cyclic mode vortex flow on anisotropic CdSe TPs. These results demonstrate successfully that NSB can be diminished by rotating CdSe TPs to generate shear force under vortex flow. This study opens up new research protocols for utilization of anisotropic nanoparticles under vortex flow, which increases the feasibility of protein capture and non-specific proteins removal for biosensors.

Abstract
The conventional signal amplification strategies for surface plasmon resonance (SPR) biosensors involve the immobilization of receptors, the capture of target analytes and their recognition by signal reporters. Such strategies work at the expense of simplicity, rapidity and real-time measurement of SPR biosensors. Herein, we proposed a one-step, real-time method for the design of SPR biosensors by integrating magnetic preconcentration and separation. The target analytes were captured by the receptor-modified magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs), and then the biotinylated recognition elements were attached to the analyte-bound MNPs to form a sandwich structure. The sandwich hybrids were directly delivered to the neutravidin-modified SPR fluidic channel. The MNPs hybrids were captured by the chip through the neutravidin-biotin interaction, resulting in an enhanced SPR signal. Two SPR biosensors have been constructed for the detection of target DNA and beta-amyloid peptides with high sensitivity and selectivity. This work, integrating the advantages of one-step, real-time detection, multiple signal amplification and magnetic preconcentration, should be valuable for the detection of small molecules and ultra-low concentrations of analytes.

Abstract
The integration of nanoarchitectonics and hydrogel into conventional biosensing platforms offers the opportunities to design physically and chemically controlled and optimized soft structures with superior biocompatibility, better immobilization of biomolecules, and specific and sensitive biosensor design. The physical and chemical properties of 3D hydrogel structures can be modified by integrating with nanostructures. Such modifications can enhance their responsiveness to mechanical, optical, thermal, magnetic, and electric stimuli, which in turn can enhance the practicality of biosensors in clinical settings. This review describes the synthesis and kinetics of gel networks and exploitation of nanostructure-integrated hydrogels in biosensing. With an emphasis on different integration strategies of hydrogel with nanostructures, this review highlights the importance of hydrogel nanostructures as one of the most favorable candidates for developing ultrasensitive biosensors. Moreover, hydrogel nanoarchitectonics are also portrayed as a promising candidate for fabricating next-generation robust biosensors.

Abstract
A surface plasmon resonance (SPR) immunosensor signal amplification strategy based on antibody-functionalized gold-coated magnetic nanoparticles (mAuNPs) was developed for ultrasensitive and quantitative detection of the CD5 biomarker using an indirect sandwich immunoassay format. The gold surface of the SPR sensor disk and mAuNPs was modified with a self-assembled monolayer of 11-mercaptoundecanoic acid (11-MUA), and the coupling method using N-(3-(dimethylamino)propyl)-N'-ethylcarbodiimide hydrochloride and N-hydroxysuccinimide was used to immobilize capture antibodies against human CD5 (anti-CD52A) and detection antibodies against human CD5 (anti-CD52B), respectively. The mAuNPs and anti-CD52B conjugates (mAuNPs-anti-CD52B) were separated by an external magnetic field and used to amplify the SPR signal after the formation of the anti-CD52A/CD5 immune complex on the SPR sensor disk. Compared to the direct CD5 detection with a limit of detection (LOD) of 1.04 nM and a limit of quantification (LOQ) of 3.47 nM, the proposed sandwich immunoassay utilizing mAuNPs-anti-CD52B significantly improved the LOD up to 8.31 fM and the LOQ up to 27.70 fM. In addition, it showed satisfactory performance in human blood serum (recovery of 1.04 pM CD5 was 109.62%). These results suggest that the proposed signal amplification strategy has superior properties and offers the potential to significantly increase the sensitivity of the analysis.

SENSORS (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2022; 22:3292. [PMID: 35590981 PMCID: PMC9105977 DOI: 10.3390/s22093292] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/30/2022] [Revised: 04/20/2022] [Accepted: 04/23/2022] [Indexed: 02/04/2023]
Abstract
Integrated optical biosensors are gaining increasing attention for their exploitation in lab-on-chip platforms. The standard detection method is based on the measurement of the shift of some optical quantity induced by the immobilization of target molecules at the surface of an integrated optical element upon biomolecular recognition. However, this requires the acquisition of said quantity over the whole hybridization process, which can take hours, during which any external perturbation (e.g., temperature and mechanical instability) can seriously affect the measurement and contribute to a sizeable percentage of invalid tests. Here, we present a different assay concept, named Opto-Magnetic biosensing, allowing us to optically measure off-line (i.e., post hybridization) tiny variations of the effective refractive index seen by microring resonators upon immobilization of magnetic nanoparticles labelling target molecules. Bound magnetic nanoparticles are driven in oscillation by an external AC magnetic field and the corresponding modulation of the microring transfer function, due to the effective refractive index dependence on the position of the particles above the ring, is recorded using a lock-in technique. For a model system of DNA biomolecular recognition we reached a lowest detected concentration on the order of 10 pm, and data analysis shows an expected effective refractive index variation limit of detection of 7.5×10-9 RIU, in a measurement time of just a few seconds.

Abstract
Magnetic nanoparticles, especially superparamagnetic nanoparticles (SPIONs), have attracted tremendous attention for various biomedical applications. Facile synthesis and functionalization together with easy control of the size and shape of SPIONS to customize their unique properties, have made it possible to develop different types of SPIONs tailored for diverse functions/applications. More recently, considerable attention has been paid to the thermal effect of SPIONs for the treatment of diseases like cancer and for nanowarming of cryopreserved/banked cells, tissues, and organs. In this mini-review, recent advances on the magnetic heating effect of SPIONs for magnetothermal therapy and enhancement of cryopreservation of cells, tissues, and organs, are discussed, together with the non-magnetic heating effect (i.e., high Intensity focused ultrasound or HIFU-activated heating) of SPIONs for cancer therapy. Furthermore, challenges facing the use of magnetic nanoparticles in these biomedical applications are presented.

Abstract
Cytomegalovirus (CMV) is the most frequent cause of congenital infection worldwide; congenital CMV may lead to significant mortality, morbidity, or long-term sequelae, such as sensorineural hearing loss. The current study presents a newly designed surface plasmon resonance (SPR) biosensor for CMV-specific microRNAs that does not involve extra care for receptor immobilization or treatment to prevent fouling on bare gold surfaces. The modification-free approach, which utilizes a poly-adenine [poly(A)]-Au interaction, exhibited a high affinity that was comparable to that of the gold-sulfur (Au-S) interaction. In addition, magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) were used to separate the analyte from complex sample matrixes that significantly reduced nonspecific adsorption. Moreover, the MNPs also played an important role in SPR signal amplification due to the binding-induced change in the refractive index. Our SPR biosensing platform was used successfully for the multi-detection of the microRNAs, UL22A-5p, and UL112-3p, which were associated with CMV. Our SPR biosensor offered the detection limits of 108 fM and 24 fM for UL22A-5p and UL112-3p, respectively, with an R2 of 0.9661 and 0.9985, respectively. The precision of this biosensor has an acceptable CV (coefficient of variation) value of <10%. In addition, our sensor is capable of discriminating between serum samples collected from healthy and CMV-infected newborns. Taken together, we believe that our newly developed SPR biosensing platform is a promising alternative for the diagnosis of CMV-specific microRNA in clinical settings, and its application for the detection of other miRNAs may be extended further.

Abstract
Inspired by the active site structure of natural horseradish peroxidase having iron as a pivotal element with coordinated histidine residues, we have developed histidine coated magnetic nanoparticles (His@MNPs) with relatively uniform and small sizes (less than 10 nm) through one-pot heat treatment. In comparison to pristine MNPs and other amino acid coated MNPs, His@MNPs exhibited a considerably enhanced peroxidase-imitating activity, approaching 10-fold higher in catalytic reactions. With the high activity, His@MNPs then were exploited to detect the important neurotransmitter acetylcholine. By coupling choline oxidase and acetylcholine esterase with His@MNPs as peroxidase mimics, target choline and acetylcholine were successfully detected via fluorescent mode with high specificity and sensitivity with the limits of detection down to 200 and 100 nM, respectively. The diagnostic capability of the method is demonstrated by analyzing acetylcholine in human blood serum. This study thus demonstrates the potential of utilizing His@MNPs as peroxidase-mimicking nanozymes for detecting important biological and clinical targets with high sensitivity and reliability.

Abstract
Ferrite magnetic nanoparticles (FMNPs) are gaining popularity to design biosensors for high-performance clinical diagnosis. The fusion of information shows that FMNPs based biosensors require well-tuned FMNPs as detection probes to produce large and specific biological signals with minimal non-specific binding. Nevertheless, there is a noticeable lacuna of information to solve the issues related to suitable synthesis route, particle size reduction, functionalization, sensitivity towards targeted intercellular biological tiny particles, and lower signal-to-noise ratio. Therefore it allows exploring unique characteristics of FMNPs to design a suitable sensing device for intracellular measurements and diseases detection. This review focuses on the extensively used synthesis routes, their advantages and limitations, crystalline structure, functionalization, along with recent applications of FMNPs in biosensors, taking into consideration their analytical figures of merit and range of linearity. This work also addresses the current progress, key factors for sensitivity, selectivity and productivity improvement along with the challenges, future trends and perspectives of FMNPs based biosensors.

Responses of the Pheromone-Binding Protein of the Silk Moth Bombyx mori on a Graphene Biosensor Match Binding Constants in Solution. SENSORS 2021; 21:s21020499.

Abstract
An electronic biosensor for odors was assembled by immobilizing the silk moth Bombyx mori pheromone binding protein (BmorPBP1) on a reduced graphene oxide surface of a field-effect transistor. At physiological pH, the sensor detects the B. mori pheromones, bombykol and bombykal, with good affinity and specificity. Among the other odorants tested, only eugenol elicited a strong signal, while terpenoids and other odorants (linalool, geraniol, isoamyl acetate, and 2-isobutyl-3-methoxypyrazine) produced only very weak responses. Parallel binding assays were performed with the same protein and the same ligands, using the common fluorescence approach adopted for similar proteins. The results are in good agreement with the sensor’s responses: bombykol and bombykal, together with eugenol, proved to be strong ligands, while the other compounds showed only poor affinity. When tested at pH 4, the protein failed to bind bombykol both in solution and when immobilized on the sensor. This result further indicates that the BmorPBP1 retains its full activity when immobilized on a surface, including the conformational change observed in acidic conditions. The good agreement between fluorescence assays and sensor responses suggests that ligand-binding assays in solution can be used to screen mutants of a binding protein when selecting the best form to be immobilized on a biosensor.

Surface plasmon resonance (SPR) is reaching a maturity level sufficient for their application in detection and determination cancer biomarkers in clinical samples. This review discusses main concepts and performance characteristics of SPR biosensor. Mainly, it focuses on newly emerged enhanced SPR biosensors towards high-throughput and ultrasensitive screening of cancer biomarkers such as PSA, α-fetoprotein, CEA, CA125, CA 15-3, HER2, ctDNA, ALCAM, hCG, VEGF, TNF, Interleukin, IFN-γ, CD24, CD44, Ferritin, COLIV using labeling processes with focusing on the future application in biomedical research and clinical diagnosis. This article reviews current status of the field, showcasing a series of early successes in the application of SPR for clinical bioanalysis of cancer related biomolecules and detailing a series of considerations regarding sensing schemes, exposing issues with analysis in biofluids, while providing an outlook of the challenges currently associated with plasmonic materials, bioreceptor selection, microfluidics, and validation of a clinical bioassay for applying SPR biosensors to clinical samples. Research opportunities are proposed to further advance the field and transition SPR biosensors from research proof-of-concept stage to actual clinical usage.

Abstract
One of the frontiers in the field of biosensors is the ability to quantify specific target molecules with enough precision to count individual units in a test sample, and to observe the characteristics of individual biomolecular interactions. Technologies that enable observation of molecules with "digital precision" have applications for in vitro diagnostics with ultra-sensitive limits of detection, characterization of biomolecular binding kinetics with a greater degree of precision, and gaining deeper insights into biological processes through quantification of molecules in complex specimens that would otherwise be unobservable. In this review, we seek to capture the current state-of-the-art in the field of digital resolution biosensing. We describe the capabilities of commercially available technology platforms, as well as capabilities that have been described in published literature. We highlight approaches that utilize enzymatic amplification, nanoparticle tags, chemical tags, as well as label-free biosensing methods.

Abstract
Superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoflowers coated by a black carbon layer (Fe3O4@C) were studied as labels in lateral flow immunoassays. They were synthesized by a one-pot solvothermal route, and they were characterized (size, morphology, chemical composition, and magnetic properties). They consist of several superparamagnetic cores embedded in a carbon coating holding carboxylic groups adequate for bioconjugation. Their multi-core structure is especially efficient for magnetic separation while keeping suitable magnetic properties and appropriate size for immunoassay reporters. Their functionality was tested with a model system based on the biotin-neutravidin interaction. For this, the nanoparticles were conjugated to neutravidin using the carbodiimide chemistry, and the lateral flow immunoassay was carried out with a biotin test line. Quantification was achieved with both an inductive magnetic sensor and a reflectance reader. In order to further investigate the quantifying capacity of the Fe3O4@C nanoflowers, the magnetic lateral flow immunoassay was tested as a detection system for extracellular vesicles (EVs), a novel source of biomarkers with interest for liquid biopsy. A clear correlation between the extracellular vesicle concentration and the signal proved the potential of the nanoflowers as quantifying labels. The limit of detection in a rapid test for EVs was lower than the values reported before for other magnetic nanoparticle labels in the working range 0-3 × 107 EVs/μL. The method showed a reproducibility (RSD) of 3% (n = 3). The lateral flow immunoassay (LFIA) rapid test developed in this work yielded to satisfactory results for EVs quantification by using a precipitation kit and also directly in plasma samples. Besides, these Fe3O4@C nanoparticles are easy to concentrate by means of a magnet, and this feature makes them promising candidates to further reduce the limit of detection.

Abstract
High-density cultured neuronal networks have been used to evaluate synchronized features of neuronal populations. Voltage-sensitive dye (VSD) imaging of a dissociated cultured neuronal network is a critical method for studying synchronized neuronal activity in single cells. However, the signals of VSD are generally too faint-that is, the signal-to-noise ratio (S/N) is too low-to detect neuronal activity. In our previous research, a silver (Ag) plasmonic chip enhanced the fluorescence intensity of VSD to detect spontaneous neural spikes on VSD imaging. However, no high-density network was cultivated on the Ag plasmonic chip, perhaps because of the chemical instability of the Ag surface. In this study, to overcome the instability of the chip, we used a chemically stable gold (Au) plasmonic dish, which was a plastic dish with a plasmonic chip pasted to the bottom, to observe neuronal activity in a high-density neuronal network. We expected that the S/N in real-time VSD imaging of the Au plasmonic chip would be improved compared to that of a conventional glass-bottomed dish, and we also expected to detect frequent neural spikes. The increase in the number of spikes when inhibitory neurotransmitter receptors were inhibited suggests that the spikes corresponded to neural activity. Therefore, real-time VSD imaging of an Au plasmonic dish was effective for measuring spontaneous network activity in a high-density neuronal network at the spatial resolution of a single cell.

Abstract
The use of colorimetric bioassays for protein detection is one of the most interesting diagnostic approaches, but their relatively poor detection limits have been a critical issue. In this study, we developed an efficient colorimetric bioassay based on switchable linkers (SLs) for the detection of prostate-specific antigen (PSA), which is one of the most widely used protein biomarkers for the diagnosis of prostate and breast cancers. SLs can cross-link gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) to generate large-scale aggregates and thereby induce precipitation to achieve visual signal amplification. In addition, when SLs are occupied by target proteins (referred to as 'switch-off'), highly sensitive detection is enabled. To maximize sensitivity, we adjusted the total surface area of AuNPs by controlling their concentration. As a result, PSA was detected at an ultralow concentration of 100 fg mL-1. This SL-based assay is shown to be simple, easy to handle and visualize, and highly sensitive. Therefore, in addition to PSA, the proposed SL-based assay could be used to detect other protein biomarkers.

Abstract
Magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) are of high significance in sensing as they provide viable solutions to the enduring challenges related to lower detection limits and nonspecific effects. The rapid expansion in the applications of MNPs creates a need to overview the current state of the field of MNPs for sensing applications. In this review, the trends and concepts in the literature are critically appraised in terms of the opportunities and limitations of MNPs used for the most advanced sensing applications. The latest progress in MNP sensor technologies is overviewed with a focus on MNP structures and properties, as well as the strategies of incorporating these MNPs into devices. By looking at recent synthetic advancements, and the key challenges that face nanoparticle-based sensors, this review aims to outline how to design, synthesize, and use MNPs to make the most effective and sensitive sensors.

Abstract
Plasmon-polaritons are among the most promising candidates for next-generation optical sensors due to their ability to support extremely confined electromagnetic fields and empower strong coupling of light and matter. Here we propose quantum plasmonic immunoassay sensing as an innovative scheme, which embeds immunoassay sensing with recently demonstrated room-temperature strong coupling in nanoplasmonic cavities. In our protocol, the antibody-antigen-antibody complex is chemically linked with a quantum emitter label. Placing the quantum-emitter-enhanced antibody-antigen-antibody complexes inside or close to a nanoplasmonic (hemisphere dimer) cavity facilitates strong coupling between the plasmon-polaritons and the emitter label resulting in signature Rabi splitting. Through rigorous statistical analysis of multiple analytes randomly distributed on the substrate in extensive realistic computational experiments, we demonstrate a drastic enhancement of the sensitivity up to nearly 1500% compared to conventional shifting-type plasmonic sensors. Most importantly and in stark contrast to classical sensing, we achieve in the strong-coupling (quantum) sensing regime an enhanced sensitivity that is no longer dependent on the concentration of antibody-antigen-antibody complexes down to the single-analyte limit. The quantum plasmonic immunoassay scheme thus not only leads to the development of plasmonic biosensing for single molecules but also opens up new pathways toward room-temperature quantum sensing enabled by biomolecular inspired protocols linked with quantum nanoplasmonics.

Abstract
A compact optical biosensor for direct detection of thrombin in human blood plasma (HBP) is reported. This biosensor platform is based on wavelength spectroscopy of diffraction-coupled surface plasmons on a chip with a periodically corrugated gold film that carries an antifouling thin polymer layer consisting of poly[(N-(2-hydroxypropyl)methacrylamide)-co-(carboxybetaine methacrylamide)] (poly(HPMA-co-CBMAA)) brushes. This surface architecture provides superior resistance to nonspecific and irreversible adsorption of abundant compounds in the analyzed HBP samples in comparison to standard surface modifications. The carboxylate groups along the polymer brushes were exploited for the covalent immobilization of aptamer ligands. These ligands were selected to specifically capture the target thrombin analyte from the analyzed HBP sample in a way that does not activate the coagulatory process at the biosensor surface with poly(HPMA-co-CBMAA) brushes. Direct label-free analysis of thrombin in the medically relevant concentration range (1-20 nM) is demonstrated without the need for diluting the HBP samples or using additional steps for signal enhancement. The reported platform constitutes the first step toward a portable and sensitive point-of-care device for direct detection of thrombin in human blood.

Abstract
The sensitive analysis of small lipid extracellular vesicles (EVs) by using a grating-coupled surface plasmon resonance (GC-SPR) biosensor has been reported. In order to enable the analysis of trace amounts of EVs present in complex liquid samples, the target analyte is pre-concentrated on the sensor surface by using magnetic nanoparticles and its affinity binding is probed by wavelength interrogation of SPR. The GC-SPR has been demonstrated to allow for the implementation of efficient pulling of EVs to the sensor surface by using magnetic nanoparticles and an external magnetic field gradient applied through the sensor chip. This approach overcomes slow diffusion-limited mass transfer and greatly enhances the measured sensor response. The specific detection of different EV populations secreted from mesenchymal stem cells is achieved with a SPR sensor chip modified with antibodies against the surface marker CD81 and magnetic nanoparticles binding the vesicles via annexin V and cholera toxin B chain.

Abstract
Lyme disease (LD) is the most common tick-borne disease in the Northern Hemisphere. As the most prevalent vector-borne disease in the USA, LD affects 300,000 human cases each year. LD is caused by inoculation of the bacterial spirochete, Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato, from an infected tick. If not treated quickly and completely, the bacteria disseminate from the tick's biting site into multiple organs including the joints, heart, and brain. Thus, the best outcome from medical intervention can be expected with early detection and treatment with antibiotics, prior to multi-organ dissemination. In the absence of a characteristic rash, LD is diagnosed using serological testing involving enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) followed by western blotting, which is collectively known as the two-tier algorithm. These assays detect host antibodies against the bacteria, but are hampered by low sensitivity, which can miss early LD cases. This review discusses the application of some current assays for diagnosing LD clinically, thus providing a foundation for exploring newer techniques being developed in the laboratory for more sensitive detection of early LD.

Abstract
Sensitive detection and monitoring of biological interactions in a high throughput, multiplexed array format has numerous advantages. We report here a method to enhance detection sensitivity in surface plasmon resonance (SPR) spectroscopy and SPR imaging via the effect of accumulation of conjugated nanoparticles of varying sizes. Bacterial cholera toxin (CT) was chosen for the demonstration of enhanced immunoassay by SPR. After immobilization of CT on a gold surface, specific recognition is achieved by biotinylated anti-CT. The signal is amplified by the attachment of biotinylated 20 nm AuNP via streptavidin bridge, followed by attachment of 5 nm streptavidin-functionalized Fe3O4NP to the AuNP-biotin surface. The continuous surface binding of two differently sized conjugated nanoparticles effectively increases their packing density on surface and significantly improves SPR detection sensitivity, allowing quantitative measurement of CT at very low concentration. The dense packing of conjugated nanoparticles on the surface was confirmed by atomic force microscopy characterization. SPR imaging of the immunoassay for high-throughput analysis utilized an Au-well microarray that attenuated the background resonance interference on the resulting images. A calibration curve of conjugated nanoparticle binding signal amplification for CT detection based on surface coverage has been obtained that shows a correlation in a range from 6.31 × 10-16 to 2.51 × 10-13 mol/cm2 with the limit of detection of 5.01 × 10-16 mol/cm2. The absolute quantity of detection limit using SPR imaging was 0.25 fmol. The versatile nanoparticles and biotin-streptavidin interaction used here should allow adaptation of this enhancement method to many other systems that include DNA, RNA, peptides, and carbohydrates, opening new avenues for ultrasensitive analysis of biomolecules.

Abstract
A portable surface plasmon resonance (SPR) instrument was tested for the first time for the detection of oligonucleotide sequences derived from the 16S rRNA gene of Oleispira antarctica RB-8, a bioindicator species of marine oil contamination, using morpholino-functionalized sensor surfaces. We evaluated the stability and specificity of morpholino coated sensor surfaces and tested two signal amplification regimes: (1) sequential injection of sample followed by magnetic bead amplifier and (2) a single injection of magnetic bead captured oligo. We found that the sensor surfaces could be regenerated for at least 85 consecutive sample injections without significant loss of signal intensity. Regarding specificity, the assay clearly differentiated analytes with only one or two mismatches. Signal intensities of mismatch oligos were lower than the exact match target at identical concentrations down to 200 nM, in standard phosphate buffered saline with 0.1 % Tween-20 added. Signal amplification was achieved with both strategies; however, significantly higher response was observed with the sequential approach (up to 16-fold), where first the binding of biotin-probe-labeled target oligo took place on the sensor surface, followed by the binding of the streptavidin magnetic beads onto the immobilized targets. Our experiments so far indicate that a simple coating procedure in combination with a relatively cost-efficient magnetic-bead-based signal amplification will provide robust SPR based nucleic acid sensing down to 0.5 nM of a 45-nucleotide long oligo target (7.2 ng/mL).

Abstract
Plasmonic biosensing has been used for fast, real-time, and label-free probing of biologically relevant analytes, where the main challenges are to detect small molecules at ultralow concentrations and produce compact devices for point-of-care (PoC) analysis. This review discusses the most recent, or even emerging, trends in plasmonic biosensing, with novel platforms which exploit unique physicochemical properties and versatility of new materials. In addition to the well-established use of localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR), three major areas have been identified in these new trends: chiral plasmonics, magnetoplasmonics, and quantum plasmonics. In describing the recent advances, emphasis is placed on the design and manufacture of portable devices working with low loss in different frequency ranges, from the infrared to the visible.

Abstract
Surface plasmon resonance (SPR), as an optical technique, has widely been used for the detection of biomarkers. Various investigations have been conducted to address the impacts of SPR on the kinetics of biological interactions between the ligand and its cognate bio-element. Up until now, different biofunctionalized metal nanoparticles (NPs) have been used for the ultrasensitive detection of biomarkers in the enhanced SPR. The enhancement of plasmonic properties and refractive index by means of metal NPs in SPR-based biosensors have significantly improved the diagnosis and monitoring of molecular markers in different disesaes including malignancies. In all the enhanced SPR systems utilized for the direct/sandwich assay, each NP is covalently modified with the analyte molecules like antibody (Ab) or a nucleic acid such as DNA/RNA aptamer (Ap) capable of interaction with the related biomarker(s). The increasing of density near the gold surface and plasmonic coupling of gold film and NPs can provide a large shift in the refractive index enhancing the plasmonic resonance because the SPR response unit is sensitive to alteration of the refractive index and the mass shifting onto the chip surface. In this study, we review the potential applications of two major NPs for enhancing the SPR signals for the detection of molecular biomarkers, including gold and magnetic NPs.

Abstract
The strong enhancement and localization of electromagnetic field in plasmonic systems have found applications in many areas, which include sensing and biosensing. In this paper, an overview will be provided of the use of plasmonic phenomena in sensors and biosensors with emphasis on two main topics. The first is related to possible ways to enhance the performance of sensors and biosensors based on surface plasmon resonance (SPR), where examples are given of functionalized magnetic nanoparticles, magnetoplasmonic effects and use of metamaterials for SPR sensing. The other topic is focused on surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) for sensing, for which uniform, flexible, and reproducible SERS substrates have been produced. With such recent developments, there is the prospect of improving sensitivity and lowering the limit of detection in order to overcome the limitations inherent in ultrasensitive detection of chemical and biological analytes, especially at single molecule levels.

Abstract
The microcrystalline film of an open-ring isomer (1o) of diarylethene 1 was prepared on an Al plasmonic chip with a grating structure. Photoisomerization from 1o to the closed-ring isomer (1c) and growth of needle-shaped crystals in 1c were observed in situ under an upright-inverted microscope. In the center part of the film, crystal growth of needle-shaped-crystal of 1c was observed upon UV irradiation from the top side, but not upon UV irradiation from the bottom side. However, crystallization occurred at the edge of the film upon UV irradiation from the bottom side. It was suggested that crystal growth of 1c required a high mobility of 1c near the film surface. Furthermore, the existence of 1o platform is also found to be required for alignment of 1c molecules by the results under the irradiation from the bottom and top sides. With the Al plasmonic chip, the conversion rate from 1o to 1c was larger inside the grating by the plasmonic enhanced field. Therefore, when the attenuated UV light was irradiated to the film edge with high mobility of 1c from the bottom side, the conversion rate was more than 60%, and the needle-shaped crystals of 1c were observed only inside the grating area. Crystal growth was controlled by the conversion rate of 1c promoted inside the grating. From the above, the larger conversion rate of 1c more than 60%, a high mobility of 1c near the film surface or edge, and the existence of the 1o platform for alignment of 1c molecules, are considered to be required for crystal growth in 1c.

Abstract
Measurement of small molecules in extremely dilute concentrations of analyte play an important role in different issues ranging from food industry to biological, pharmaceutical and therapeutical applications. Surface plasmon resonance (SPR) sensors can be a suitable choice for detection of small molecules based on interactions with biomolecules. However, sensitivity of the system for detection of these molecules is very low. Improving sensitivity has been a challenge for years. Therefore, different methods have been used to enhance SPR signals. The SPR signal enhancement using numerous nanomaterials has provided exciting results. Among various nanomaterials, metal nanoparticles (for instance gold, silver and magnetic nanoparticles), quantum dots, nanorads, and carbon-based nanostructures have got much attention due to ease in fabrication, appropriate size and shape. In addition to the advantages provided by using nanomaterials, signal enhancement provided by the appropriate use of phase information of the reflected light could be also important to improve SPR sensitivity. Phase-sensitive SPR sensors are able to detect infinitesimal changes in external properties of target while traditional type of SPR cannot demonstrate these changes. This article provides an overview on signal enhancment in SPR using nanomaterials and properties of light. We also discuss on recent progresses of the field, describing basic concepts concerning nanostructures as well as phase-sensitive sensors as platform for enhancement of signal in SPR.

Abstract
Refractometry is a classic analytical method in analytical chemistry and biosensing. By integrating advanced micro- and nano-optical systems with well-developed microfluidics technology, optofluidics are shown to be a powerful, smart and universal platform for refractive index sensing applications. This paper reviews recent work on optofluidic refractometers based on different sensing mechanisms and structures (e.g., photonic crystal/photonic crystal fibers, waveguides, whisper gallery modes and surface plasmon resonance), and traces the performance enhancement due to the synergistic integration of optics and microfluidics. A brief discussion of future trends in optofluidic refractometers, namely volume sensing and resolution enhancement, are also offered.

Abstract
Iron oxide and gold-based magneto-plasmonic nanostructures exhibit remarkable optical and superparamagnetic properties originating from their two different components. As a consequence, they have improved and broadened the application potential of nanomaterials in medicine. They can be used as multifunctional nanoprobes for magneto-plasmonic heating as well as for magnetic and optical imaging. They can also be used for magnetically assisted optical biosensing, to detect extreme traces of targeted bioanalytes. This review introduces the previous work on magneto-plasmonic hetero-nanostructures including: (i) their synthesis from simple “one-step” to complex “multi-step” routes, including seed-mediated and non-seed-mediated methods; and (ii) the characterization of their multifunctional features, with a special emphasis on the relationships between their synthesis conditions, their structures and their properties. It also focuses on the most important progress made with regard to their use in nanomedicine, keeping in mind the same aim, the correlation between their morphology—namely spherical and non-spherical, core-satellite and core-shell, and the desired applications.

Abstract
Superparamagnetic nanoparticles (SPMNPs) have attracted interest for various biomedical applications due to their unique magnetic behavior, excellent biocompatibility, easy surface modification, and low cost. Their unique magnetic properties, superparamagnetism, and magnetophoretic mobility have led to their inclusion in immunoassays to enhance biosensor sensitivity and allow for rapid detection of various analytes. In this review, we describe SPMNP characteristics valuable for incorporation into biosensors, including the use of SPMNPs to increase detection capabilities of surface plasmon resonance and giant magneto-resistive biosensors. The current status of SPMNP-based immunoassays to improve the sensitivity of rapid diagnostic tests is reviewed, and suggested strategies for the successful adoption of SPMNPs for immunoassays are presented.

Abstract
Peanut allergy can be life-threatening and is mediated by allergen-specific immunoglobulin E (IgE) antibodies. Investigation of IgE antibody binding to allergenic epitopes can identify specific interactions underlying the allergic response. Here, we report a surface plasmon resonance imaging (SPRi) immunoassay for differentiating IgE antibodies by epitope-resolved detection. IgE antibodies were first captured by magnetic beads bearing IgE ϵ-chain-specific antibodies and then introduced into an SPRi array immobilized with epitopes from the major peanut allergen glycoprotein Arachis hypogaea h2 (Ara h2). Differential epitope responses were achieved by establishing a binding environment that minimized cross-reactivity while maximizing analytical sensitivity. IgE antibody binding to each Ara h2 epitope was distinguished and quantified from patient serum samples (10 μL each) in a 45 min assay. Excellent correlation of Ara h2-specific IgE values was found between ImmunoCAP assays and the new SPRi method.

Abstract
Magnetic-propelled carriers comprising magnetic Fe3O4–chitosan nanoparticles were immobilized with l-asparaginase (l-ASNase). The enzyme displayed enhanced catalytic activity in a weak magnetic field, and thermal and pH stabilities. The conjugated l-ASNase presented higher thermostability and wider range of pH stability in comparison with those of free l-ASNase. Moreover, the reusability of conjugated l-ASNase significantly improved after immobilization and it retained 60.5% of its initial activity after undergoing 16 cycles. The conjugated l-ASNase maintained more than 50% and 48% initial activity after 4 weeks of storage at 4 °C and room temperature, respectively. Furthermore, we reveal that the activity of conjugated l-ASNase onto magnetic Fe3O4–chitosan particles increased by about 3-fold in the weak magnetic field at certain frequencies and flux density compared with that of free l-ASNase. Considering these excellent attributes, the magnetic-propelled mechanism in the transporting and activation of l-ASNase can be used by enhancing the catalytic activity, stability, and efficiency in vital implications for medicinal biotechnology. A magnetic-propelled carrier comprising chitosan-coated Fe3O4 nanoparticles was prepared to enhance the catalytic activity of immobilized l-asparaginase in a weak magnetic field.![]()
