A1 - Martínez-Mánez, Ramon A1 - Rurack, Knut T1 - Gated hybrid delivery systems: En route to sensory materials with inherent signal amplification N2 - Hybrid nanoparticles with a large specific surface area are a particularly exciting vehicle for delivery applications. Such highly porous or container-like structures, usually prepared from silica and frequently from gold, can incorporate a large number of chemical substances such as drug and/or indicator molecules. When equipped with a chemically or physically addressable gating function at the openings of the voids, the release of the cargo can be controlled at will. Because many more molecules can be stored as cargo in the pores of the support than there are functional groups as anchoring sites for the gating entities attached to the outer surface (for efficient pore capping), the systems possess inherent features of (signal) amplification. The present article will introduce various design strategies for different types of physical (light, temperature, magnetism) and chemical (pH, metal ions, anion, small organic molecules, enzymes) stimuli in connection with drug and indicator release. We will highlight exciting aspects of combining both features in theranostic applications and will stress which requirements still have to be met by many of the systems to be readily applicable in a sensory context.

A1 - Martínez-Mánez, Ramon A1 - Rurack, Knut T1 - Determination of the chemical warfare agents Sarin, Soman and Tabun in natural waters employing fluorescent hybrid silica materials N2 - A novel mesoporous silica material containing boron–dipyrromethene (BODIPY) moieties (I) is employed for the detection of nerve agent simulants (NASs) and the organophosphate nerve or chemical warfare agents (CWAs) Sarin (GB), Soman (GD), and Tabun (GA) in aqueous environments. The reactive BODIPY dye with an optimum positioned hydroxyl group undergoes acylation reactions with phosph(on)ate substrates, yielding a bicyclic ring. Due to aggregation of the dyes in water, the sensitivity of the free dye in solution is very low. Only after immobilization of the BODIPY moieties into the silica substrates is aggregation inhibited and a sensitive determination of the NASs diethyl cyanophosphonate (DCNP), diethyl chlorophosphate (DCP) and diisopropyl fluorophosphate (DFP) possible. The signaling mode is a strong quenching of the fluorescence, reaching LODs in the pM range. The best performing hybrid material was singled out from a library of hybrid silicas varying in morphology and surface functionalization. The response to actual CWAs such as GB, GD, and GA has also been tested, offering similar behavior as for the simulants. The proposed reaction mechanism has been verified by investigation of other model materials, containing for instance BODIPY moieties without an optimum hydroxyl group (III) or a BODIPY dye with an all-aliphatic counterpart (IV). The latter can only form a monocyclic reaction product, showing much less reactivity as I. Assays with other possible competitors have been additionally carried out, showing favorably low cross-reactivities. Finally, the determination of NASs in several natural waters has been demonstrated.

The strips contain spots of a hybrid indicator material consisting of a fluorescent BODIPY indicator covalently anchored into the channels of mesoporous SBA silica microparticles. The fluorescence quenching response allows the sensitive detection of CWAs in the μg m−3 range in a few seconds.

A1 - Rurack, Knut T1 - Multiplex‐Nachweis von Analyten auf einem einzelnen Teststreifen mit Antikörper‐gesteuerten und Indikator freisetzenden mesoporösen Nanopartikeln N2 - Vor dem Hintergrund der einzigartigen Modularität, hohen Empfindlichkeit und Selektivität von Antikörper‐gesteuerten Indikatorfreisetzungssystemen (gAID‐Systemen) wurde hier ein Multiplex‐Assay für drei organische Explosivstoffmoleküle (TATP, TNT, PETN) entwickelt, der es erlaubt, die Analyten gleichzeitig in flüssiger Phase mit einem einzelnen Teststreifen und einem Fluoreszenzlesegerät bzw. Smartphone als Detektor in Konzentrationen bis in den unteren ppb‐Bereich in <5 min nachzuweisen. Alle drei Systeme, darunter die hier neu entwickelten Systeme für TNT und PETN, tolerieren zudem nicht nur gepufferte wässrige Modelllösungen, sondern auch komplexere Matrices. Neben einem konventionellen Teststreifen mit einem Kanal erlaubte uns die Anwendung von Wachsdrucktechnologie das Herstellen von mehrkanaligen Streifen mit vergleichbarer analytischer Leistungsfähigkeit, was das enorme Potenzial der modular aufgebauten, hybriden Biosensormaterialien im Hinblick auf eine für den Endanwender maßgeschneiderte Vor‐Ort‐Analytik unterstreicht.

Considering theunique modularity,high sensitivity,and selectivity of antibody-gated indicator delivery (gAID) systems,amultiplexed assayfor three small-molecule explosives (TATP, TNT,PETN) wasthus developed, allowing to detect the analytes simultaneouslywith asingle test strip at lower ppb concentrations in the liquidphase in < 5min using afluorescence reader or asmartphonefor readout. While the TNT and PETN systems were newlydeveloped here,all the three systems also tolerated harshermatrices than buffered aqueous model solutions.Besidesasingle-track strip,the outstanding modularity of the hybridbiosensor materials in combination with strip-patterningtechnologies allowed us to obtain amultichannel strip inastraightforwardmanner,offering comparable analyticalperformance while allowing to be tailored even more to theusersneed.
