Abstract

基于纳米结构的多孔Si一种不用标记的光学生物传感器被设计为大肠杆菌 K12细菌的快速捕获和检测,作为一个模型的微生物。在生物传感器依赖于直接结合的靶细菌细胞在其表面上,同时研究了样品的无预处理( 例如,通过细胞裂解)是必需的。的中孔硅薄膜被用作生物传感器的光学换能器元件。在白光照明下,多孔层显示在它的反射率光谱很好分辨的法布里 – 珀罗干涉条纹图样。应用快速傅立叶变换(FFT),以在一个单一的峰值反射率数据的结果。变化的FFT峰的强度进行监测。因此,目标捕捉细菌到生物传感器表面,通过抗体 – 抗原相互作用,诱导的FFT峰的强度可测量的变化,允许一个“实时”观察细菌附着。

Introduction

早期准确鉴定致病菌的是食物和水安全,环境监测,并点护理诊断1极为重要。由于传统的微生物学技术是费时,费力,缺乏检测微生物的“实时”或在实验室环境之外的能力,生物传感器不断发展,以应对这些挑战2-5。

近年来,在多孔硅(PSI)已经成为一种很有前途的平台,用于传感器和生物传感器6-20的设计。在过去的十年里许多关于PSI为基础的光学传感器和生物传感器的研究发表21,22。纳米结构PSI层典型地制作由单晶Si晶片电化学阳极蚀刻。所得到的PSI纳米材料表现出许多有利的特性,例如大的表面和自由体积,孔径大小,可控制和可调谐OPTI校准性能10,16。 PSI的层,例如光致发光8,11和白光反射型干涉7,19的光学特性,强烈受到环境条件的影响。捕获在多孔层产生的薄膜,观察到的光致发光光谱的调制或者作为反射率光谱10的波长偏移的平均折射率的变化范围内的客体分子/靶分析物。

尽管在PSI光学生物传感器技术的巨大创新,也只有在PSI的平台为细菌检测6,8,20,23-29报道很少。此外,大多数证明概念的这些研究已证实“间接”细菌检测。因此,该细胞的一般现有的裂解是必需的,提取该目标蛋白质/ DNA片段,特征为研究细菌29。我们的做法是直接捕捉目标细菌细胞到PSI生物传感器。因此,单克隆抗体,其特定于针对细菌,被固定在所述多孔表面上。通过抗体-抗原相互作用的结合细菌细胞的,固定在生物传感器的表面上引起的变化的反射光谱24-26的振幅(强度)。

在这项工作中,我们报告的光学PSI为基础的生物传感器的构造,并证明了其作为无标记生物传感平台, 大肠埃希氏菌的检测( 大肠杆菌 )K12菌(作为模型微生物),监控的应用光信号是从PSI纳米结构反映由于法布里-珀罗薄膜干涉( 图1A)的光。改变光的振幅/强度是相关的,以在目标细菌细胞的特异性固定到生物传感器表面上,从而允许快速检测和细菌的定量。
