Fabrication of a miniature CMOS-based optical biosensor

This work presents a novel, miniature optical biosensor by immobilizing horseradish peroxidase (HRP) or the HRP/glucose oxidase (GOx) coupled enzyme pair on a CMOS photosensing chip with a detection area of 0.5 mm × 0.5 mm. A highly transparent TEOS/PDMS Ormosil is used to encapsulate and immobilize enzymes on the surface of the photosensor. Interestingly, HRP-catalyzed luminol luminescence can be detected in real time on optical H₂O₂ and glucose biosensors. The minimum reaction volume of the developed optical biosensors is 10 μL. Both optical H₂O₂ and glucose biosensors have an optimal operation temperature and pH of 20–25 °C and pH 8.4, respectively. The linear dynamic range of optical H₂O₂ and glucose biosensors is 0.05–20 mM H₂O₂ and 0.5–20 mM glucose, respectively. The miniature optical glucose biosensor also exhibits good reproducibility with a relative standard deviation of 4.3%. Additionally, ascorbic acid and uric acid, two major interfering substances in the serum during electrochemical analysis, cause only slight interference with the fabricated optical glucose biosensor. In conclusion, the CMOS-photodiode-based optical biosensors proposed herein have many advantages, such as a short detection time, a small sample volume requirement, high reproducibility and wide dynamic range.     

A new method of preparing fiber-optic DNA biosensor and its array for gene detection

A new method of preparing fiber-optic DNA biosensor and its array for the simultaneous detection of multiple genes is described. The optical fibers were first treated with poly-l-lysine, and then were made into fiber-optic DNA biosensors by adsorbing and immobilizing the oligonucleotide probe on its end. By assembling the fiber-optic DNA biosensors in a bundle in which each fiber carried a different DNA probe, the fiber-optic DNA biosensor array was well prepared. Hybridization of fluorescent- labeled cDNA of p53 gene, N-ras gene and Rb1 gene to the DNA array was monitored by CCD camera. A good result was achieved.

The use of multiple-strain algal sensor chips for the detection and identification of volatile organic compounds

Although biosensors detecting a great variety of toxicants have been developed during the last decades, the simultaneous detection and identification of several targets by one biosensor is not possible in the majority of the biosensor systems. In our study we proved the concept of the detection and identification of two different volatile toxic compounds with a non-selective biochip-based algal biosensor. For that purpose we produced array plate biochips to utilise three membrane-immobilised algal strains of genus Klebsormidium and Chlorella in one biosensor system. A novel IMAGING-PAM chlorophyll fluorometer was applied to measure the impact of volatile organic compounds (VOC) on photosynthesis of chip-immobilized algae in terms of quantum efficiency of electron transport (DeltaF/F'm). Formaldehyde (FA) vapour was detectable with statistical significance in concentrations relevant to human health from 10 ppb to 10 ppm. The biosensor response recorded within minutes was concentration-dependent and reversible. Moreover, vapours of formaldehyde (0.05-1 ppm) and methanol (MeOH) (200-1000 ppm) were significantly identified by the compound-specific response rate as a quotient of the biosensor responses of the respective algal strains. Using the IMAGING-PAM chlorophyll fluorometer, data sampling proved to be highly efficient. Based on our results we conclude that the principle of the algal sensor chip (ASC) suggests further research on the detection and identification of VOCs and other toxic substances in gaseous environment with that biochip system.     

A biomimetic olfactory-based biosensor with high efficiency immobilization of molecular detectors

The immobilization efficiency of molecular detectors is of great importance with regard to the performances of biosensors such as the sensitivity, stability, and reproducibility. This paper presents a biomimetic olfactory receptor-based biosensor with better performances by improving the immobilization efficiency of molecular detectors for odorant sensing. A mixed self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) functionalized with specific olfactory receptors (ODR-10) was constructed on the sensitive area of surface acoustic wave (SAW) chip. The immobilization of ODR-10 was characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and atomic force microscopy (AFM). The responses of this biosensor to various odorants were recorded by monitoring the resonance frequency shifts of SAW, which is correlated to the mass loading on its sensitive area. All the results demonstrate this biosensor can specifically respond to the natural ligand of ODR-10, diacetyl, with high sensitivity and stability. The sensitivity is 4 kHz/ng, which is 2× higher than that of previous work. The detection limit is 1.2×10(-11) mM. The major advances on immobilization efficiency of molecular detectors presented in this work could substantially promote and accelerate the researches and applications of olfactory receptor-based biosensors with different transducers, such as quartz crystal microbalance (QCM), surface plasma resonance (SPR), and field effect transistors (FET).     

Cell-based biosensors based on light-addressable potentiometric sensors for single cell monitoring

Cell-based biosensors incorporate cells as sensing elements that convert changes in immediate environment to signals for processing. This paper reports an investigation on light-addressable potentiometric sensor (LAPS) to be used as a possible cell-base biosensor that will enable us to monitor extracellular action potential of single living cell under stimulant. In order to modify chip surface and immobilize cells, we coat a layer of poly-L-ornithine and laminin on surface of LAPS chip on which rat cortical cells are grown well. When 10 microg/ml acetylcholine solution is administrated, the light pointer is focused on a single neuronal cell and the extracellular action potential of the targeted cell is recorded with cell-based biosensor based on LAPS. The results demonstrate that this kind of biosensor has potential to monitor electrophysiology of living cell non-invasive for a long term, and to evaluate drugs primarily.
