  • A lateral flow channel immunoassay combining a particle binding zone geometry with nanoparticle labelling amplification

    Sensors and Actuators B: Chemical

    A lateral flow channel immunoassay is described which combines two strategies for signal enhancement. A packed silicagel microparticle matrix, covalently labelled with capture antibodies, was incorporated into a microchannel, providing a detection surface to sample volume ratio at least 20 times the standard wall modified microfluidic channel format. Strong signal amplification was achieved with non-direct fluorescence labelling. Fluorescein diacetate nanoparticles, synthesized by a simple…

    A lateral flow channel immunoassay is described which combines two strategies for signal enhancement. A packed silicagel microparticle matrix, covalently labelled with capture antibodies, was incorporated into a microchannel, providing a detection surface to sample volume ratio at least 20 times the standard wall modified microfluidic channel format. Strong signal amplification was achieved with non-direct fluorescence labelling. Fluorescein diacetate nanoparticles, synthesized by a simple top-down method, increase the number of fluorophores per antibody binding event, compared with a classical molecular fluorescein label. The fluorescent signal generation mechanism, triggered by the addition of a solution of NaOH:DMSO, was optimised to produce highly fluorescent uranin. The packed channel immunoassay showed a linear relationship between fluorescence intensity and antibody concentration for detection of 0.4–1.67 nM in a model system of rabbit polyclonal antibodies (RbIgG) and goat anti-rabbit polyclonal antibodies (Gt-α RbIgG), potentially enabling this format to achieve semi-quantitative or quantitative measurement of multiple target analytes, where packed silica zones modified with different capture antibodies are incorporated into the same microchannel system.

  • Aggregation-Induced Emissive Nanoparticles for Fluorescence Signaling in a Low Cost Paper-Based Immunoassay

    Colloids and Surfaces B: Biointerfaces

    Low cost paper based immunoassays are receiving interest due to their fast performance and small amounts of biomolecules needed for developing an immunoassay complex. In this work aggregation-induced emissive (AIE) nanoparticles, obtained from a diastereoisomeric mixture of 1,2-di-(4-hydroxyphenyl)-1,2-diphenylethene (TPEDH) in a one-step top-down method, are characterized through Dynamic Light Scattering (DLS), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), and Zeta potential. By measuring the Zeta…

    Low cost paper based immunoassays are receiving interest due to their fast performance and small amounts of biomolecules needed for developing an immunoassay complex. In this work aggregation-induced emissive (AIE) nanoparticles, obtained from a diastereoisomeric mixture of 1,2-di-(4-hydroxyphenyl)-1,2-diphenylethene (TPEDH) in a one-step top-down method, are characterized through Dynamic Light Scattering (DLS), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), and Zeta potential. By measuring the Zeta potential before and after labeling the nanoparticles with antibodies we demonstrate that the colloidal system is stable in a wide pH-range. The AIE-active nanoparticles are deposited on chitosan and glutaraldehyde modified paper pads overcoming the common aggregation-caused quenching (ACQ) effect. Analyte concentrations from 1000 ng and below are applied in a model immunocomplex using Goat anti-Rabbit IgG and Rabbit IgG. In the range of 7.81 ng to 250 ng, linear trends with a high R2 are observed, which leads to a strong increase of the blue fluorescence from the TPEDH nanoparticles.

  • Method for visually ruling out acute diseases using colour-marked proteins

    Angemeldet am EU WO2014121781 A1

    The invention relates to a system for ruling out acute conditions, especially acute myocardial infarctions (AMI) or viral infections, by means of a lateral flow immunoassay which uses the universal signalling colours, as on a traffic light, to show or reliably rule out the presence of a particular acute condition, which is indicated by two different signals/colours.
