A Microfluidic Chip-Based MRS Immunosensor for Biomarker Detection via Enzyme-Mediated Nanoparticle Assembly.

ABSTRACT: Conventional immunoassay methods have their common defects, such as tedious processing steps and inadequate sensitivity, in detecting whole blood. To overcome the above problems, we report a microfluidic chip-based magnetic relaxation switching (MRS) immunosensor via enzyme-mediated nanoparticles to simplify operation and amplify the signal in detecting whole blood samples. In the silver mirror reaction with catalase (CAT) as the catalyst, H₂O₂ can effectively control the production of Ag NPs. The amount of Ag NPs formed further affects the degree of aggregation of magnetic nanoparticles (MNP_S), which gives rise to the changes of transverse relaxation time (T₂). Both sample addition and reagent reaction are carried out in the microfluidic chip, thereby saving time and reagent consumption. We also successfully apply the sensor to detect alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) in real samples with a satisfied limit of detection (LOD = 0.56 ng/ml), which is superior to the conventional ELISA.

Project description:Interleukin-8 (IL8) is an important cytokine that plays a significant role in tumor growth and angiogenesis across various malignant tumors, including oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC). It is an important biomarker for oral cancer; therefore, its early and accurate detection in bodily fluid reduces morbidity and mortality rates in cancer patients. The work presents the development of a label-free microfluidic miniaturized electrochemical immunosensor for IL8 biomarker detection at low concentration in saliva samples. A rapid, sensitive and selective biosensing platform was developed for IL8 detection using a nano-ceria integrated microfluidic system. The synthesized nano-ceria particles (8.13 nm) were employed to enhance the electrochemical biosensing signal and sensitivity of the biosensor due to their high catalytic properties and large surface area. For this, microfluidic chip was prepared by Indium tin oxide (ITO) (3 × 4 cm) containing three electrode patterns of working, reference and counter electrode. These electrode patterns were developed using a maskless photolithography technique and a polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) mold created a 200 μm wide microchannel which was bound to the susbtrate using plasma treatment. Spectroscopy and microscopy techniques were used to confirm the synthesis of nano-ceria. Furthermore, electrode surface modifications were achieved by immobilization of chemically activated antibodies of IL8, as verified by Fourier transform-infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR). Furthermore, differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) was utilized to investigate electrochemical parameters and conduct biosensing studies. The developed electrochemical microfluidic biosensing platform works for an IL8 antigen in the concentrations ranging from 0.004 to 10 ng mL-1 with a limit of detection (LOD) and limit of quantification (LOQ) of 0.0001 ng mL-1 and 0.0006 ng mL-1, respectively. Moreover, the developed electrochemical biosensing platform was validated using human saliva samples, achieving percentage recovery within an acceptable range.

Project description:The rapid and accurate diagnostic methods to identify carbapenemase-producing organisms (CPO) is of great importance for controlling the CPO infection. Herein, we have developed a microfluidic chip-based technique to detect CPO and assessed its clinical value in detecting CPO directly from blood cultures (BCs). The detection performance of the microfluidic chip-based LAMP amplification method was analyzed retrospectively on a collection of 192 isolates including molecularly characterized 108 CPO and 84 non-CPO and prospectively on a collection of 133 positive BCs with or without CPO suspicion, respectively. In the retrospective study, the microfluidic chip-based LAMP amplification method exhibited 87.5% accuracy (95% CI [82.0-91.5]), 97.7% sensitivity (95% CI [91.2-99.6]), 78.8% specificity (95% CI [69.5-86.0]), 79.6% positive predictive value (PPV) (95% CI [70.6-86.5]) and 97.6% negative predictive value (NPV) (95% CI [90.9-99.6]). Among the 192 isolates, 22 (11.5%) false-positives (FP) and 2 (1.0%) false negatives (FN) were observed. In the prospective study, the 133 routine isolates of positive BCs including 18 meropenem-resistant CPO and 115 non-CPO were assessed, and 4 FP were observed in non-CPO and CPO, respectively. The current method showed a total detection performance of 94.0% accuracy (95% CI [88.4-97.1]), 100.0% sensitivity (95% CI [73.2-100.0]), 93.2% specificity (95% CI [86.7-96.8]), 63.6% PPV (95% CI [40.8-82.0]) and 100.0% NPV (95% CI [95.8-100.0]). In summary, the microfluidic chip-based LAMP amplification method is reliable for the rapid screening and detection of CPO with high accuracy, sensitivity, and specificity, and could easily be implemented in clinical microbiology laboratories. IMPORTANCE Rapid and accurate identification of CPO may reduce the genetic exchanges among bacteria and prevent further dissemination of carbapenemases to non-CPO. The current method had designed microfluidic chip-based LAMP amplification method for multiplex detection of carbapenemase genes and evaluated the detection performance of the newly method. The current method can rapidly screen and detect CPO with high accuracy, sensitivity, and specificity, and could easily be implemented in clinical microbiology laboratories, as this will reduce the carbapenem resistance issues worldwide.
