A novel and sensitive multi-throughput localized surface plasmon resonance (MLSPR) biosensor was developed for the first time. Various gold nanorods with different aspect ratios were used to fabricate the optical sensor. Five kinds of gold nanorods with different aspect ratios were chosen to construct five throughputs of MLSPR. Various LSPR peaks imply that different acceptor-ligand pairs can be detected simultaneously in the wavelength range from 530 to 940nm. The biosensor immobilized on glass slides was applied to label-free detection between acceptor and ligand. The MLSPR-based optical biosensor can be used to detect three antigen-antibody pairs simultaneously. The biosensor proposed herein is easy to fabricate, and its operation procedure is convenient as labeling procedure is unnecessary.

Steroid hormones, especially progesterone (P), estradiol (E), and testosterone (T), are key bioactive regulators in various female physiological processes, including growth and development, ovulation, and the reproductive cycle, as well as metabolism and mental health. As lipophilic molecules produced in sex glands, these steroid female hormones can be transported through blood vessels into various body fluids such as saliva, sweat, and urine. However, the ultralow concentration of steroid hormones down to picomolar (pM) level necessitates great demands for ultrasensitive but low-cost analytic tools to implement accurate, point-of-care or even continuous monitoring in a user-friendly fashion.

An optical biosensor is a specialized analytical device that utilizes the principles of optics and light in bimolecular processes. Localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) is a phenomenon in the realm of nanophotonics that occurs when metallic nanoparticles (NPs) or nanostructures interact with incident light. Conversely, surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) is an influential analytical technique based on Raman scattering, wherein it amplifies the Raman signals of molecules when they are situated near specific and specially designed nanostructures.

HRP-integrated CRISPR-Cas12a biosensor for rapid point-of-care detection of Langya henipavirus.

iScience

December 2024

Key Laboratory of Clinical Laboratory Diagnostics (Ministry of Education), School of Laboratory Medicine, Chongqing Medical University, 1 Xueyuan Road, Chongqing 400016, China.

Article Synopsis
  • The COVID-19 pandemic revealed the urgent need for better diagnostic tools to quickly identify new infectious diseases, such as Langya henipavirus (LayV).
  • Researchers developed a sensitive detection method using CRISPR-Cas12a, allowing LayV RNA to be identified at just 10 copies/μL within 30 minutes at room temperature.
  • A new HRP-ssDNA reporter was designed so that CRISPR-Cas12a can detect LayV RNA without needing pre-amplification, achieving visibility of 1,200 copies/μL to the naked eye, enhancing point-of-care testing in resource-limited areas.
