Highly sensitive and a multiplex assay of viruses and viral DNAs in complex biological samples is extremely important for clinical diagnosis and prognosis of pathogenic diseases as well as virology studies. We present an effective ICP-MS-based multiplex and ultrasensitive assay of viral DNAs with lanthanide-coded oligonucleotide hybridization and rolling circle amplification (RCA) strategies on biofunctional magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs), in which single-stranded capture DNA (ss-Cap-DNA)-functionalized MNPs (up to 1.65 × 10(4) ss-Cap-DNA per MNP) were used to recognize and enrich target DNAs, and single-stranded report DNA (ss-Rep-DNA-DOTA-Ln) coded by the lanthanide-DOTA complex hybridized with the targeted DNA for highly sensitive readout of HIV (28 amol), HAV (48 amol), and HBV (19 amol). When utilizing the RCA technique in association with the design and synthesis of a "bridge" DNA and a corresponding ss-Rep-DNA-DOTA-Ho, as low as 90 zmol HBV could be detected. Preliminary applications to the determination of the viral DNAs in 4T1 cell lysates and in serum confirmed the feasibility of this ICP-MS-based multiplex DNA assay for clinical use. One can expect that this element-coded ICP-MS-based multiplex and ultrasensitive DNA assay will play an ever more important role in the fields of bioanalysis and virology and in medical studies after further sophisticated modifications.

Inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) with elemental labeling is a promising strategy for multiplex microRNA (miRNA) analysis. However, it is still challenging for specific analysis of multiple miRNAs with high homology, and the development of multiplex assays is always limited by the complexity of the sequence design. Herein, a simple and direct ICP-MS-based assay was developed for the simultaneous detection of three miRNAs by combining the lanthanide labeling strategy with entropy-driven catalytic (EDC) amplification.

Background: Element-tagged immunoassay coupled with inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) detection has the potential to revolutionize immunoassay analysis for multiplex detection. However, a further study referring to the standard evaluation and clinical sample verification is needed to ensure its reliability for simultaneous analysis in clinical laboratories.
Methods: Carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) and α-fetoprotein (AFP) were chosen for the duplex immunoassay.

A multiplex bacterial assay method that combines S1 nuclease pretreatment and ICP-MS-based elemental labels is presented in this work. Six intestinal related bacteria were identified at the species level and quantified simultaneously without isolation culturing. This method could be extended to assay a mixed bacterial community for point-of-care diagnosis.

Inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) combined with element tags has been well designed and extensively applied in cell enumeration. It possesses superior quantitative capability, strong resistance to matrix interference, multiplex detection capability but destructive characteristic. Herein, we constructed an ICP-MS based multifunctional platform for capture, nondestructive enumeration, and release of circulating tumor cells (CTCs).

Multiplex biomolecular analysis with inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) becomes increasingly important in clinical diagnosis and single cell analysis. However, the sensitivity of ICP-MS-based immunoassay is only comparable or lower than those of fluorescence methods at the present stage. Therefore, designing elemental tags with a large number of metal atoms is necessary to achieve high-sensitive detection.
