A microfluidic biosensor was developed for rapid detection of Salmonella using a finger-actuated micropump, a finger-actuated micromixer, gold@platinum nanocatalysts (Au@PtNCs) and a smartphone App. First, immune magnetic nanobeads (MNBs), bacterial sample and immune Au@PtNCs were successively finger-actuated pumped into microfluidic chip. Then, they were fully mixed using finger-actuated micromixer to form MNB-Salmonella-Au@PtNC complexes. After hydrogen peroxide-tetramethylbenzidine was pumped into chip and catalyzed by nanocatalysts on complexes, resulting in color change from colorless to blue, the image of catalysate was collected and finally analyzed by self-developed smartphone App or directly compared with Pantone color card in chip to determinebacterial concentration. Experimental results showed this biosensor could quantitatively detect Salmonella from 3.5 × 10 to 3.5 × 10 CFU/mL in 1 h with lower detection limit of 350 CFU/mL. This biosensor has successfully integrated loading, mixing, incubation, washing, separation and detection onto a chip and might pave a promising way for bacterial detection.
一种基于手指驱动微泵、手指驱动微混合器、金@铂纳米催化剂(Au@PtNCs)和智能手机应用程序的微流控生物传感器,用于快速检测沙门氏菌。首先,免疫磁性纳米珠(MNBs)、细菌样品和免疫 Au@PtNCs 被连续地用手指驱动微泵注入微流控芯片中。然后,使用手指驱动微混合器充分混合,形成 MNB-沙门氏菌-Au@PtNC 复合物。当过氧化氢-四甲基联苯胺被泵入芯片并被复合物上的纳米催化剂催化时,会发生从无色到蓝色的颜色变化,收集催化产物的图像,并最终通过自行开发的智能手机应用程序进行分析,或直接与芯片中的潘通色卡进行比较,以确定细菌浓度。实验结果表明,该生物传感器可以在 1 小时内定量检测 3.5×10 到 3.5×10 CFU/mL 的沙门氏菌,检测限低至 350 CFU/mL。该生物传感器已成功将加载、混合、孵育、洗涤、分离和检测集成到一个芯片上,为细菌检测开辟了一条有前途的道路。
