TY - CONF A1 - Climent Terol, Estela T1 - Fluorescence-based multiplexed detection on single test strips with antibody-gated mesoporous materials N2 - Rapid testing methods for the use directly at a point-of-need are expected to unfold their true potential especially when offering adequate capabilities for the simultaneous measurement of multiple analytes of interest. However, the implementation of multiplexing features while retaining simplicity, performance and portability is one of the prominent challenges in the field. Keeping in mind these challenges, we decided to combine the use of stimuli-responsive materials for small-molecule sensing relying on chemical signal amplification and their incorporation on paper strips for lateral-flow assays in a straightforward manner. Considering the modularity, high sensitivity and selectivity of antibody-gated indicator delivery systems, a multiplexed assay for three small-molecule explosives TATP, TNT and PETN was developed, allowing to detect the analytes simultaneously with a single test strip at lower ppb concentrations in liquid phase in <5 min, using a fluorescence reader or a smartphone for readout. Because of the versatility of the hybrid material and the modularity of the assay architecture, it is obvious that this generic approach should be easily transferable to food or environmental analysis, point-of-care diagnostics and other areas of application in which the rapid screening for multiple parameters from liquid samples without clean-up in a dedicated laboratory is in demand.

Among all of the methods employed for rapid tests, lateral flow assays (LFAs) are the most commonly used, and hundreds of test kits based on this technique are available on the market. A major drawback is that most of these capture agents either indicate the analyte only indirectly, and in most cases a second binding agent able to bind directly or indirectly to the analytes is necessary (e.g., a secondary labeled antibody). Furthermore, in certain cases in which the (ultra)trace detection of an analyte is required, the traditional approach of a certain number of probe molecules being conjugated to a particular support is not sufficient. Therefore, novel concepts implementing steps of effective signal amplification are urgently required. Keeping in mind these limitations, we thought that the sensitivity of these systems should be improvable through employment of gated reporter molecule-releasing hybrid nanoparticle materials on novel lateral flow devices. On one hand, the gated sensor material can produce a massive signal amplification, by releasing many reporter molecules only after chemical recognition of a few analyte molecules has taken place in an independent and separate step at the pore openings. On the other hand, the employment of tailored capture materials for the selective interaction with the released reporter molecules in a second arbitrary zone on the strip allows to concentrate or focus the latter for more efficient detection or to create selective multi-spot detection zones, which renders the simultaneous detection of several reporter molecules at the same time in multiplexed detection of various analytes possible. For that purpose, we have prepared several stimuli-responsive materials for small-molecule sensing based on specific interactions between biomolecules such as antibodies with the corresponding analytes for the detection of certain explosives. In order to prepare these bio-capped materials, we have selected silica mesoporous nanoparticles (MSNs) as inorganic support due to their unique properties such as defined void structure, high inner surface area and flexible functionalization chemistry. These MSNs are loaded with a brightly fluorescent indicator dye, and the external surface is subsequently functionalized with suitable molecules able to interact with antibodies, efficiently inhibiting dye release. The opening protocol and delivery of the entrapped dye is reminiscent of a displacement reaction involving the presence of the target analyte, producing a displacement of the biomolecule and allowing the detection of the target analyte. The presentation discusses general aspects of system design as well as analytical performance and highlights the integration into a lateral-flow assay, showing as an example the determination of the explosives TATP, TNT and PETN with fluorescence readout, in single-substance and multiplexing modes.

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.
