Besides optimized fluorescent probes and labels, functionalized nano- and microparticles have received strongly increasing attention in this context during the past decade. This contribution introduces the main signalling concepts for particle-based amplification strategies and stresses, especially the important role that metal and semiconductor nanoparticles play in this field. Besides resonance energy transfer, metal-enhanced emission and the catalytic generation of luminescence, the impact of multi-chromophoric objects such as dye nanocrystals, dendrimers, conjugated polymers or mesoporous hybrid materials is assessed. The representative examples discussed cover a broad range of analytes from metal ions and small organic molecules to oligonucleotides and enzyme activity.

Because of their robustness, versatility and format adaptability, they also constitute very promising sensing phases, especially when the active sensing element is directly integrated into the MIP. Fluorescent MIPs incorporating fluorescent monomers are perhaps the best developed and most successful approach here. This article reviews the state of the art in this field, discussing the pros and cons of the use of fluorescent dye and probe derivatives as such monomers, the different molecular interaction forces for template complexation, signalling modes and a variety of related approaches that have been realized over the years, including Förster resonance energy transfer processes, covalent imprinting, postmodification attachment of fluorescent units and conjugated polymers as MIPs; other measurement schemes and sensing chemistries that use MIPs and fluorescence interrogation to solve analytical problems (fluorescent competitive assays, fluorescent analytes, etc.) are not covered here. Throughout the article, photophysical processes are discussed to facilitate understanding of the effects that can occur when one is planning for a fluorescence response to happen in a constrained polymer matrix. The article concludes with a concise assessment of the suitability of the different formats for sensor realization.

A1 - Rurack, Knut T1 - Ratiometric fluorescence detection of phosphorylated amino acids through excited-state proton transfer by using molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP) recognition nanolayers N2 - A 2,3-diaminophenazine bis-urea fluorescent probe monomer (1) was developed. It responds to phenylphosphate and phosphorylated amino acids in a ratiometric fashion with enhanced fluorescence accompanied by the development of a redshifted emission band arising from an excited-state proton transfer (ESPT) process in the hydrogen-bonded probe/analyte complex. The two urea groups of 1 form a cleft-like binding pocket (Kb>10^10 L^2 mol^-2 for 1:2 complex). Imprinting of 1 in presence of ethyl ester- and fluorenylmethyloxycarbonyl (Fmoc)-protected phosphorylated tyrosine (Fmoc-pTyr-OEt) as the template, methacrylamide as co-monomer, and ethyleneglycol dimethacrylate as crosslinker gave few-nanometer-thick molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP) shells on silica core microparticles with excellent selectivity for the template in a buffered biphasic assay. The supramolecular recognition Features were established by spectroscopic and NMR studies. Rational screening of comonomers and cross-linkers allowed to single out the best performing MIP components, giving significant imprinting factors (IF>3.5) while retaining ESPT emission and the ratiometric response in the thin polymer shell. Combination of the bead-based detection scheme with the phase-transfer assay dramatically improved the IF to 15.9, allowing sensitive determination of the analyte directly in aqueous media.

A1 - Rurack, Knut T1 - Enantioselective fluorescence response of molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) toward carbobenzyloxy- (Cbz) protected amino acids N2 - Integration of a polymerisable fluorescent urea-nitrobenzoxadiazole monomer 1 into a few-nanometre thin molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP) shell coated onto a 300 nm silica core with the tetrabutylammonium salt of N-carbobenzyloxy-L-phenylalanine (Cbz- or Z-ʟ-Phe) as the imprinted template yields core/shell MIP nanoparticles that respond to the designated analyte with a strong fluorescence increase in the visible spectral range. The system shows promising imprinting and enantioselectivity factors of 3.6 and 1.9 when benzylmethylacrylate (BMA) is used as co-monomer and ethylene glycol dimethacrylate (EDMA) as cross-linker. A second, naphthalimide-based fluorescent urea 2 is employed in the preparation of MIP thin-films and monolithic polymers for separation techniques. Spectroscopic and chromatographic studies of the MIPs with the analytes Z-ʟ-Phe, Z-ʟ-glutamic acid (Z-ʟ-Glu) and penicilin G (PenG) revealed the (enantio)selective discrimination behaviour of these materials.

The monitoring of these harmful species is especially important for us human being and the planet we live. However, the traditional laboratory based assay is a complicate process including sample preparation, detection and data analysis. The onsite detection as well as point of care (POC) diagnostic are often limited by the dimension of large instrument and required trained people. In order to address these problems, we combined the sensor particle with the microfluidic chip technique for the potential miniaturized direct readout sensor instrument for onsite detection. MIPs are artificial receptors which are formed by polymerization of functional monomer at the presence of target molecule as template. They have comparable binding affinity and selectivity to the nature receptor such as anbibody and enzyme. However they are more stable and robust which greatly reduced the difficulty in storage and usage. The thermal and chemical stability also extends its application to more harsh conditions. Combined with core coding technique, they can also combine with fluidic assay for much higher throughout. We have developed a fluorogenic sensor particle which is formed by a thin fluorogenic molecularly imprinted polymer (fMIPs) shell of several nanometer coated onto a silica particle as core-substrate. These particles can respond to the molecule such as phosphorylated tyrosine through change of fluorescence signals and show high selectivity, sensitivity and fast response within 20 seconds. The phosphate anion is especially interesting due to its important role in industry as well as in biological processes. In order to make it applicable for on-site monitoring, we combined this fMIPs with a microfluidic chips. With carefully design, the particle can essentially mixed with the sample in the microfluidic chip. The excitation of sensor particle can be enabled by a LED, the fluorescence difference can then directly been registered with a spectrometer for qualification as well quantification the monitored species. The compact structure make the on-site as well as POC achievable. T2 - 12.
