Artificial Intelligence-Aided Massively Parallel Spectroscopy of Freely Diffusing Nanoscale Entities.

ABSTRACT: Massively parallel spectroscopy (MPS) of many single nanoparticles in an aqueous dispersion is reported. As a model system, bioconjugated photon-upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) with a near-infrared excitation are prepared. The UCNPs are doped either with Tm³⁺ (emission 450 and 802 nm) or Er³⁺ (emission 554 and 660 nm). These UCNPs are conjugated to biotinylated bovine serum albumin (Tm³⁺-doped) or streptavidin (Er³⁺-doped). MPS is correlated with an ensemble spectra measurement, and the limit of detection (1.6 fmol L^-1) and the linearity range (4.8 fmol L^-1 to 40 pmol L^-1) for bioconjugated UCNPs are estimated. MPS is used for observing the bioaffinity clustering of bioconjugated UCNPs. This observation is corr
