AbstractA surface plasmon resonance (SPR) biosensor based on a graphene nanoribbon array in a microfluidic flow cell operating in a flow-over format is studied. The optical response of the biosensor is numerically obtained by using rigorous couple wave analysis (RCWA). The performance of the biosensor is described in terms of the limit of detection, which is calculated as a function of key nanoribbon dimensional parameters, such as strip thickness and width, and fill fraction (nanoribbon width to array period ratio). The analysis shows that there are specific values of the fill fraction that optimize, that is, minimize, the limit of detection for particular nanoribbon dimensions. Fabrication issues are also discussed. This study is expected to assist in the design and implementation of SPR biosensors based on nanopatterned 2D materials.

In this study, we designed a simple, rapid, sensitive and selective surface plasmon resonance (SPR) sensor for detection of L-phenylalaine by utilizing molecular imprinting technology. l-phenylalanine imprinted and non-imprinted poly(2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate-methacryloyl-l-phenylalanine) polymeric films were synthesized onto SPR chip surfaces using ultraviolet polymerization. l-phenyalanine imprinted and non-imprinted SPR sensors were characterized by using contact angle, atomic force microscopy and ellipsometry. After characterization studies, kinetic studies were carried out in the concentration range of 5.0–400.0 μM. The limit of detection and quantification were obtained as 0.0085 and 0.0285 μM, respectively. The response time for the test including equilibration, adsorption and desorption was approximately 9 min. The selectivity studies of the l-phenylalanine imprinted SPR sensor was performed in the presence of d-phenylalanine and l-tryptophan. Validation studies were carried out via enzyme-linked immunosorbent analysis technique in order to demonstrate the applicability and superiority of the l-phenylalanine imprinted SPR sensor.

AbstractHuman epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-positive exosomes play an extremely important role in the diagnosis and treatment options of breast cancers. Herein, based on the reformative tyramine signal amplification (TSA) enabled by molecular aptamer beacon (MAB) conversion, a label-free surface plasmon resonance (SPR) biosensor was proposed for highly sensitive and specific detection of HER2-positive exosomes. The exosomes were captured by the HER2 aptamer region of MAB immobilized on the chip surface, which enabled the exposure of the G-quadruplex DNA (G4 DNA) that could form peroxidase-like G4-hemin. In turn, the formed G4-hemin catalyzed the deposition of plentiful tyramine-coated gold nanoparticles (AuNPs-Ty) on the exosome membrane with the help of H2O2, generating a significantly enhanced SPR signal. In the reformative TSA system, the horseradish peroxidase (HRP) as a major component was replaced with nonenzymic G4-hemin, bypassing the defects of natural enzymes. Moreover, the dual-recognition of the surface proteins and lipid membrane of the desired exosomes endowed the sensing strategy with high specificity without the interruption of free proteins. As a result, this developed SPR biosensor exhibited a wide linear range from 1.0 × 104 to 1.0 × 107 particles/mL. Importantly, this strategy was able to accurately distinguish HER2-positive breast cancer patients from healthy individuals, exhibiting great potential clinical application. Graphical Abstract

<p><br />Halal foods and medicines are an absolute daily needs for the Muslim community in Indonesia. Therefore the authority institutions in indonesian goverment should ensure the availability of this. It is of course inseparable from the role of higher education through the development of its technology to develop halal detection of foods and drugs. This study is an effort to contribute to the Halal Research Center of UIN Sunan Kalijaga Yogyakarta through the biosensor development in halal detection foods and medicines based on biosensor SPR. This device using graphene materials to improve the detection sensitivity of pork gelatin material that is likely contained in foodstuffs and medicine. From analytical calculation and computation, enhancement of the SPR biosensor performance by involvement graphene it was shown through the ATR (Attenuated Total Reflectance) reflective curve. The result of this results was found the enhancement of the sensitivity 2,86 %.</p><p>Keyword: Surface Plasmon Resonance (SPR), Porcine Gelatin, Graphene, ATR</p>

A polyclonal antibody was produced against Internalin B (InlB)–enriched extract and used to develop an inhibition assay to detect Listeria monocytogenes cells in solution using surface plasmon resonance. The gene sequence encoding for the InlB protein was cloned into a Qiagen pQE-60 vector, expressed in Escherichia coli, and purified by immobilized metal affinity chromatography. Protein G–purified anti-InlB–enriched extract polyclonal antibody was incubated with various concentrations of L. monocytogenes cells and subsequently injected over a purified-recombinant InlB (rInlB)–immobilized CM5 sensor chip surface. A decrease in antibody binding response was observed with increasing L. monocytogenes cell concentrations. Intraday and interday assay variability studies were carried out to evaluate precision and reproducibility. The assay had a limit of detection of less than 2 × 105 cells per ml and could be successfully reproduced with coefficients of variation of between 2.5 and 7.7%.

Postoperative pancreatic fistula (POPF), the major driver of morbidity and mortality following pancreatectomy, is caused by an abnormal communication between the pancreatic ductal epithelium and another epithelial surface containing pancreas-derived, enzyme-rich fluid. There is a strong correlation between the amylase content in surgically-placed drains early in the postoperative course and the development of POPF. A simple and cheap method to determine the amylase content from the drain effluent has been eagerly advocated. Here, we developed an amylase optical biosensor, based on a surface plasmon resonance (SPR) plastic optical fiber (POF), metallized with a 60 nm layer of gold and interrogated with white light. The sensor was made specific by coupling it with an anti-amylase antibody. Each surface derivatization step was optimized and studied by XPS, contact angle, and fluorescence. The POF-biosensor was tested for its response to amylase in diluted drain effluents. The volume of sample required was 50 µL and the measurement time was 8 min. The POF-biosensor showed selectivity for amylase, a calibration curve log-linear in the range of 0.8–25.8 U/L and a limit of detection (LOD) of ~0.5 U/L. In preliminary tests, the POF-biosensor allowed for the measurement of the amylase content of diluted surgically-placed drain effluents with an accuracy of >92% with respect to the gold standard. The POF-biosensor allows for reliable measurement and could be implemented to allow for a rapid bedside assessment of amylase value in drains following pancreatectomy.
