Integrating CdIn 2S 4 semiconductors with S-vacancy MoS 2 nanosheets to fabricate a multi-channel aptasensing chip for photoelectrochemical detection of multiple mycotoxins. Anal Chim Acta 2024; 1319:342982. [PMID: 39122269 DOI: 10.1016/j.aca.2024.342982] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/30/2024] [Revised: 07/05/2024] [Accepted: 07/13/2024] [Indexed: 08/12/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND The importance of multi-target simultaneous detection lies in its ability to significantly boost detection efficiency, making it invaluable for rapid and cost-effective testing. Photoelectrochemical (PEC) sensors have emerged as promising candidates for detecting harmful substances and biomarkers, attributable to their unparalleled sensitivity, minimal background signal, cost-effectiveness, equipment simplicity, and outstanding repeatability. However, designing an effective multi-target detection strategy remains a challenging task in the PEC sensing field. Consequently, there is a pressing need to address the development of PEC sensors capable of simultaneously detecting multiple targets. RESULTS CdIn2S4/V-MoS2 heterojunctions were successfully prepared via a hydrothermal method. These heterojunctions exhibited a high photocurrent intensity, representing a 1.53-fold enhancement compared to CdIn2S4 alone. Next, we designed a multi-channel aptasensing chip using ITO as the substrate. Three working electrodes were created via laser etching and subsequently modified with CdIn2S4/V-MoS2 heterojunctions. Thiolated aptamers were then self-assembled onto the CdIn2S4/V-MoS2 heterojunctions via covalent bonds, serving as recognition tool. By empolying the CdIn2S4/V-MoS2 heterojunctions as the sensing platform and aptamers as recognition tool, we successfully developed a disposable aptasensing chip for the simultaneous PEC detection of three typical mycotoxins (aflatoxin B1 (AFB1), ochratoxin A (OTA), and zearalenone (ZEN)). This aptasensing chip exhibited wide detection range for AFB1 (0.05-50 ng/mL), OTA (0.05-500 ng/mL), and ZEN (0.1-250 ng/mL). Furthermore, it demonstrated ultra-low detection limits of 0.017 ng/mL for AFB1, 0.016 ng/mL for OTA, and 0.033 ng/mL for ZEN. SIGNIFICANCE AND NOVELTY The aptasensing chip stands out for its cost-effectiveness, simplicity of fabrication, and multi-channel capabilities. The versatility and practicality enable it to serve as a powerful platform for designing multi-channel PEC aptasensors. With its ability to detect multiple targets with high sensitivity and specificity, the aptasensing chip holds immense potential for applications across diverse fields, such as environmental monitoring, clinical diagnostics, and food safety monitoring, where multi-target detection is crucial.

Abstract
The Fiber SPR chip laboratory has become a popular choice in biochemical detection. To meet the needs of different kinds of analytes for the detection range and number of channels of the chip, we proposed a multi-mode SPR chip laboratory based on microstructure fiber in this paper. The chip laboratory was integrated with microfluidic devices made from PDMS and detection units made of bias three-core fiber and dumbbell fiber. By injecting light into different cores of a bias three-core fiber, different detection areas of dumbbell fiber can be selected, enabling the chip laboratory to enter high refractive index detection, multi-channel detection and other working modes. In the high refractive index detection mode, the chip can detect liquid samples with a refractive index range of 1.571-1.595. In multi-channel detection mode, the chip can achieve dual parameter detection of glucose and GHK-Cu, with sensitivities of 4.16 nm/(mg/mL) and 9.729 nm/(mg/mL), respectively. Additionally, the chip can switch to temperature compensation mode. The proposed multi working mode SPR chip laboratory, based on micro structured fiber, offers a new approach for the development of portable testing equipment that can detect multiple analytes and meet multiple requirements.

Abstract
Food allergies are hypersensitivity immune responses triggered by (traces of) allergenic compounds in foods and drinks. The recent trend towards plant-based and lactose-free diets has driven an increased consumption of plant-based milks (PBMs) with the risk of cross-contamination of various allergenic plant-based proteins during the food manufacturing process. Conventional allergen screening is usually performed in the laboratory, but portable biosensors for on-site screening of food allergens at the production site could improve quality control and food safety. Here, we developed a portable smartphone imaging surface plasmon resonance (iSPR) biosensor composed of a 3D-printed microfluidic SPR chip for the detection of total hazelnut protein (THP) in commercial PBMs and compared its instrumentation and analytical performance with a conventional benchtop SPR. The smartphone iSPR shows similar characteristic sensorgrams compared with the benchtop SPR and enables the detection of trace levels of THP in spiked PBMs with the lowest tested concentration of 0.625 μg/mL THP. The smartphone iSPR achieved LoDs of 0.53, 0.16, 0.14, 0.06, and 0.04 μg/mL THP in 10x-diluted soy, oat, rice, coconut, and almond PBMs, respectively, with good correlation with the conventional benchtop SPR system (R2 0.950-0.991). The portability and miniaturized characteristics of the smartphone iSPR biosensor platform make it promising for the future on-site detection of food allergens by food producers.

Abstract
In this paper, we demonstrate a fiber-optic surface plasmon resonance (FO-SPR) biosensor based on image processing and back propagation (BP) neural network. The transmitted light of the FO-SPR sensor was captured by using visible (VIS) and near-infrared (NIR) CMOS sensors. The optical information related to the SPR effect was extracted from images based on grayscale conversion and an edge detection algorithm. To achieve accurate monitoring of refractive index (RI) changes, the grayscale means of the VIS and NIR images and the RGB summation of the edge-detected images were used as training and test inputs for the BP neural network. We verified the effectiveness and superiority of this sensing system by experiments on sodium chloride solution identification and protein binding detection. This work is promising for practical applications in standardized biochemical sensing.

Abstract
The tris-nitrilotriacetic acid (tris-NTA) chip has been used for surface plasmon resonance (SPR) kinetic studies involving histidine (His)-tagged proteins. However, its full potential, especially for analyte quantification in complex biological media, has not been realized due to a lack of systematic studies on the factors governing ligand immobilization, surface regeneration, and data analysis. We demonstrate that the tris-NTA chip not only retains His-tagged proteins more strongly than its mono-NTA counterpart, but also orients them more uniformly than protein molecules coupled to carboxymethylated dextran films. We accurately and rapidly quantified immunoglobulin (IgG) molecules in sera by using the initial association phase of their conjugation with His-tagged protein G densely immobilized onto the tris-NTA chip, and established criteria for selecting the optimal time for constructing the calibration curve. The method is highly reproducible (less than 2% RSD) and three orders of magnitude more sensitive than immunoturbidimetry. In addition, we found that the amount of His-protein immobilized is highly dependent on the protein isoelectric point (pI). Reliable kinetic data in a multi-channel SPR instrument can also be rapidly obtained by using a low density of immobilized His-tagged protein. The experimental parameters and procedures outlined in this study help expand the range of SPR applications involving His-tagged proteins.

Abstract
Early diagnosis of acute myocardial infarction (AMI) significantly reduce the mortality rate and can be achieved via high-sensitive detection of AMI specific cardiac troponin I (cTnI) biomarker. Here, we present normal-incident type solution-immersed silicon (NI-SIS) ellipsometric biosensor, designed for ultra-high sensitive, high-throughput, label-free detection of the target protein. The NI-SIS sensors are equipped with a specially designed prism that maintains the angle of incidence close to the Brewster angle during operation, which significantly reduces SIS noise signals induced by the refractive index fluctuations of the surrounding medium, improves the signal-to-noise ratio, in-results lowers the detection limit. We applied NI-SIS biosensor for ultra-sensitive detection of cTnI biomarkers in human serum. The optimized sensor chip fabrication and detection operation procedures are proposed. The wide linear concentration ranges of fg/mL to ng/mL is achieved with the detection limit of 22.0 fg/mL of cTnI. The analytical correlation was assessed by linear regression analysis with the results of the Pathfast reference system. These impressive biosensing capabilities of NI-SIS technology have huge potentials for accurate detection of target species in different application areas, such as diagnosis, drug discovery, and food contaminations.

Abstract
With the development of advanced nanofabrication technologies over the past decade, plasmonic nanostructures have attracted wide attention for their potential in label-free biosensing applications. However, the sensing performance of nanostructured plasmonic sensors is primarily limited by the broad-line-width features with low peak-to-dip signal ratio in the extinction spectra that result from strong radiative damping. Here, we propose and systematically investigate the in-plane and out-of-plane dipolar interactions in an array of plasmonic nanoring resonators that are from the spatial combination of classic nanohole and nanodisk structures. Originating from the strong coupling of the dipolar modes from parent nanohole and nanodisk structures, the subradiant lattice plasmon resonance in the nanoring resonator array exhibits narrow-line width spectral features with high peak-to-dip signal ratio and strong near-field electromagnetic enhancement, making it an ideal platform for high-sensitivity chemical and biomedical sensing. We experimentally demonstrate that the plasmonic nanoring resonator array can be used for high-sensitivity refractive index sensing and real-time monitoring of biomolecular specific binding interactions at nanomolar concentration. Moreover, due to its simple normal incident illumination scheme and polarization independent optical response, we further transfer the plasmonic nanoring resonator array onto the optical fiber tip to demonstrate an integrated and miniaturized platform for label-free remote biosensing, which implies that the plasmonic nanoring resonator array may be a potential candidate for developing high performance and highly integrated photonic biosensing systems.

Abstract
We present a dual-resonance fiber surface plasmon resonance (SPR) sensor for biological analysis. The sensing element was fabricated by sequentially sputtering layers of indium tin oxide (ITO) (100 nm thickness) and Au (35 nm thickness) on the surface of an optical fiber. The refractive index dispersion effect of ITO material led to resonances in the near infrared and visible wavelength regions. The refractive index of ITO is larger than the optical fiber in visible spectral area (400 to 733nm), such that the structure is a typical Kretschmann configuration surface plasmon resonance sensor. However, an Otto configuration is observed in the near infrared area (NIR) due to the ITO refractive index being smaller than the fiber core. We characterized the sensor performance by measuring bulk refractive index (RI) sensitivity in the two configurations, which were 1345 nm/RIU in the Kretschmann configuration and 1100 nm/RIU in the Otto configuration. In addition, this sensor was applied for real-time and label-free monitoring of the IgG/anti-IgG biomolecular interaction. As a robust and ultra-compact SPR sensor, which possesses wide detection range and is highly sensitive, this fiber SPR sensor can be applied for real-time biological analysis and monitoring.

Abstract
We demonstrated a simple method for self-reference and label free biosensing based on a capillary sensing element and common optoelectronic devices. The capillary sensing element is illuminated by a light-emitting diode (LED) light source and detected by a webcam. Part of gold film that deposited on the tubing wall is functionalized to carry on the biological information in the excited SPR modes. The end face of the capillary was monitored and separate regions of interest (ROIs) were selected as the measurement channel and the reference channel. In the ROIs, the biological information can be accurately extracted from the image by simple image processing. Moreover, temperature fluctuation, bulk RI fluctuation, light source fluctuation and other factors can be effectively compensated during detection. Our biosensing device has a sensitivity of 1145%/RIU and a resolution better than 5.287 × 10-4 RIU, considering a 0.79% noise level. We apply it for concanavalin A (Con A) biological measurement, which has an approximately linear response to the specific analyte concentration. This simple method provides a new approach for multichannel SPR sensing and reference-compensated calibration of SPR signal for label-free detection.

Abstract
We investigate an intensity and wavelength modulation combined plasmon resonance-based fiber-optic sensor technology. Composed of gold nanoparticles (GNPs) and sandwich configuration of Au/indium tin oxide (ITO)/Au film, two sensing regions are fabricated separately along with unclad portions of the fiber-optic probe. It can simultaneously monitor both the light intensity from the Au NP channel and the wavelength from the Au/ITO/Au film channel with a single detector. As the refractive index (RI) of the external environment changes, the transmission intensity and resonance wavelength in the two channels are modified, which provides an interrogation of intensity and wavelength modulation. The sandwich film structure is formed using magnetron sputtering technology, and the GNPs functioning as localized surface plasmon resonators are coated on a multimode optical fiber via the layer-by-layer method. The experimental results reveal that the RI sensitivities of the two sensing channels are 334.1% RIU?1 and 1963.2??nm/RIU, respectively. Based on the above sensing design, we conduct real-time and label-free monitoring of IgG/anti-IgG and Con A/RNase B biomolecular interaction. The resonant dips excited by different sensing modes make it more attractive as a multichannel surface plasmon resonance analysis technology, which is valuable in biological and life sciences research and rapid diagnostics.

Abstract
We propose a novel multiplexed ultra-compact high-sensitivity one-dimensional (1D) photonic crystal (PC) nanobeam cavity sensor array on a monolithic silicon chip, referred to as Parallel Integrated 1D PC Nanobeam Cavity Sensor Array (PI-1DPC-NCSA). The performance of the device is investigated numerically with three-dimensional finite-difference time-domain (3D-FDTD) technique. The PI-1DPC-NCSA consists of multiple parallel-connected channels of integrated 1D PC nanobeam cavities/waveguides with gap separations. On each channel, by connecting two additional 1D PC nanobeam bandstop filters (1DPC-NBFs) to a 1D PC nanobeam cavity sensor (1DPC-NCS) in series, a transmission spectrum with a single targeted resonance is achieved for the purpose of multiplexed sensing applications. While the other spurious resonances are filtered out by the stop-band of 1DPC-NBF, multiple 1DPC-NCSs at different resonances can be connected in parallel without spectrum overlap. Furthermore, in order for all 1DPC-NCSs to be integrated into microarrays and to be interrogated simultaneously with a single input/output port, all channels are then connected in parallel by using a 1 × n taper-type equal power splitter and a n × 1 S-type power combiner in the input port and output port, respectively (n is the channel number). The concept model of PI-1DPC-NCSA is displayed with a 3-parallel-channel 1DPC-NCSs array containing series-connected 1DPC-NBFs. The bulk refractive index sensitivities as high as 112.6nm/RIU, 121.7nm/RIU, and 148.5nm/RIU are obtained (RIU = Refractive Index Unit). In particular, the footprint of the 3-parallel-channel PI-1DPC-NCSA is 4.5μm × 50μm (width × length), decreased by more than three orders of magnitude compared to 2D PC integrated sensor arrays. Thus, this is a promising platform for realizing ultra-compact lab-on-a-chip applications with high integration density and high parallel-multiplexing capabilities.

Abstract
A novel surface plasmon resonance (SPR) thermometer based on liquid crystal (LC) filled hollow fiber is demonstrated in this paper. A hollow fiber was internally coated with silver and then filled with LC. The SPR response to temperature was studied using modeling and verified experimentally. The results demonstrated that the refractive index of LC decreases with the increasing temperature and the variation can be detected by the resonance wavelength shift of the plasmon resonance. The temperature sensitivities were 4.72 nm/°C in the temperature range of 20 to 34.5 °C and 0.55 nm/°C in the temperature range of 36 to 50 °C, At the phase transition temperature between nematic and isotropic phases of the LC, the temperature sensitivity increased by one order of magnitude and a shift of more than 46 nm was observed with only a 1.5 °C temperature change. This sensor can be used for temperature monitoring and alarming, and can be extended for other physical parameter measurement.
