Nowadays, the development of simple, fast, and low-cost selective sensors to detect substances of interest is of great importance in several application fields. Among this kind of sensors, those based on surface plasmon resonance (SPR) represent a promising category, since they are highly sensitive, versatile, and label-free. In this work, an SPR probe, based on a poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) slab waveguide covered by a gold nanofilm, combined with a specific molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP) receptor for bovine serum albumin (BSA) protein, has been realized and experimentally characterized. The obtained experimental results have shown a limit of detection (LOD) equal to about 8.5 × 10−9 M. This value is smaller than the one achieved by another SPR probe, based on a D-shaped plastic optical fiber (POF), functionalized with the same MIP receptor; more specifically, the obtained LOD was reduced by about three orders of magnitude with respect to the POF configuration. Moreover, concerning the D-shaped POF configuration, no manufacturing process is present in the proposed sensor configuration. In addition, fibers are used only to connect the simple sensor chip with a light source and a detector, promoting a bio-chemical sensing approach based on disposable, low-cost, and removable chips.

Abstract. Highly specific antibodies to 13, 14-dihydro-15-ketoprostaglandin F2α (PGFM) were raised in rabbits. The animals were immunized with PGFM-bovine serum albumin (BSA)-conjugates. Prior to the incubation procedure PGFM was extracted by a rapid method with dichloromethane followed by column chromatography. The antisera dilution was 1:10000 and the cross-reactivity towards prostaglandin A2, E2, F2α, 13, 14-dihydro-15-ketoprostaglandin E2 and the 15-ketoprostaglandin E2 and F2α was < 1%. The limit of detection was 1.9 ± 0.6 pg/ml plasma over the standard range 1.9–250 pg. The intra- and inter-assay variations were 3.9 and 15%, respectively. PGFM was measured throughout the menstrual cycle in female volunteers. In normal ovulatory women (n = 3) plasma levels of PGFM varied between 65.6 to 107.1 pg/ml. No significant variations of plasma PGFM were seen during the cycle. In anovulatory women (n = 4) no difference of PGFM was found during the cycle. PGFM levels in hyperprolactinaemic but ovulating women tend to be higher than in anovulatory, and normoprolactinaemic subjects. These data strongly indicate that PGFM is not correlated with other hormonal parameters tested here in the normal and anovulatory cycles.

A new methodology involving the use of Bovine Serum Albumin (BSA) as a probe and liquid crystal (LC) as a signal reporter for the detection of heavy metal ions in water at neutral pH was developed. BSA acted as a multi-dentate ligand for the detection of multiple metal ions. The LC sensor was fabricated by immobilizing 3 µg mL−1 BSA solution on dimethyloctadecyl-[3-(trimethoxysilyl)propyl]ammonium chloride (DMOAP)-coated glass slides. In the absence of heavy metal ions, a dark optical image was observed, while in their presence, a dark optical image turned to bright. The optical response was characterized by using a polarized optical microscope (POM). The BSA based LC sensor selectively detected toxic metal ions as compared to s block metal ions and ammonium ions in water. Moreover, the limit of detection was found to be very low (i.e., 1 nM) for the developed new biosensor in comparison to reported biosensors.

Abstract A sensitive enzyme immunoassay for cephalexin (CEX) was developed using the rabbit antiserum to CEX, Β-D-galactosidase-labeled CEX, and a double-antibody separation method. The immunogen of CEX was prepared by coupling the amino group of CEX to thiol groups introduced into bovine serum albumin by the use of N-(mmaleimidobenzoyloxy) succinimide as a cross-linker. Highly titered antiserum to CEX was produced in rabbits immunized with the immunogen. Enzyme labeling of CEX with Β-D-galactosidase was done by using 7V-(gamma-maleimidobutyryloxy)succinimide as the crosslinker. The limit of detection was 30 ng CEX/mL sample solution. Application of the method to CEX drug residues detected 30 ng/mL in milk, 60 ng/g in egg yolk, and 400 ng/g in hen tissue.

Misuse of antibiotics has been discovered in shrimp exported from Indonesia, one of them is chloramphenicol, therefore it is necessary to develop methods for chloramphenicol detection. In this study, the chemical sensor for chloramphenicol detection has been developed. The sensor developed by immobilized bovine serum albumin (BSA) onto cellulose acetate membrane. The sensor has linear range of 6-16 μg/ml chloramphenicol with r 0.999 and limit of detection (LOD)-limit of quantification (LOQ) value of 0.74-2.21 μg/ml. The RSD value of repeatability and intermediet precision were 2.41% and 2.31%, where the recovery was 100.29%. Three of the five samples of tiger shrimp on the market containing chloramphenicol at level of 1.03; 2.48; and 3 μg/ml. The result also shown in good agreement with conventional spectrophotometry UV-Vis method.   Keywords: shrimp, chloramphenicol, BSA, cellulose acetate
