The magnetic property of Fe-MOF helped to hold them on the working electrode at detection zone of MFC surpassing the requirement of additional conjugation chemistry, whereas the conductive property was utilized to observe the change in signal efficiency in the presence of TT. The one-pot hydrothermal synthesis of a magnetic and conductive iron-based MOF (Fe-MOF) was performed using the Fe3 +/Fe2+ precursors as 1.2/1 mmol and dual ligands, i.e., tetrahydroxy-1,4-benzoquinone and 2-aminobenzene-1,4-dicarboxylic acid. The Fe-MOF was conjugated with L-phenylalanine (Fe-MOF/Phe) to increase its electric conductivity owing to the enhanced electron flow rate. The human monoclonal antibody SA13 against TT (anti-TT mAb) was conjugated on the Fe-MOF/Phe surface with the help of ethylenediamine (Fe-MOF/Phe/EDA/anti-TT mAb). The binding affinity of Fe-MOF/Phe/EDA/anti-TT mAb for the TT antigen was evaluated using cyclic voltammetry technique. The limit of detection of the Fe-MOF/Phe/EDA/anti-TT mAb-based biosensor for TT was 9.4 ng/ml in spiked buffer. This study shows the applicability of these Fe-MOFs in the detection of various other microbial toxins or other biomolecules.

T1 - A New Approach: Passive Smart Dust for Detection of Hazardous Substances N2 - Remote sensing of hazardous substances is a key task that can be achieved with the help of remotely operated platforms equipped with specific sensors. A huge variety of methods and used vehicles have been developed for different purposes in recent years. The term smart dust refers to a science fiction novel and develop shortly after into a research proposal at UC Berkley funded by DARPA. Subsequently, the topic gained attraction but was overall considered as to complex for the technologies available at that time. In the launched passive smart dust project, we shift to a simple “chemical intelligent” passive sensor particle on the ground combined a read-out active sensor attached to an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV). The reactive particle surface can be preadjusted in the lab for exact desired properties regarding certain reactions to hazardous substances. Moreover, the aimed interaction with the active sensor can be modified. Planed applications allow for different materials e.g., for short time measurement, being ecologically degradable, or weather stable for long time monitoring.

T1 - ADAMTS4-Specific MR Peptide Probe for the Assessment of Atherosclerotic Plaque Burden in a Mouse Model N2 - Introduction Atherosclerosis is the underlying cause of multiple cardiovascular pathologies. The present-day clinical imaging modalities do not offer sufficient information on plaque composition or rupture risk. A disintegrin and metalloproteinase with thrombospondin motifs 4 (ADAMTS4) is a strongly upregulated proteoglycan-cleaving enzyme that is specific to cardiovascular diseases, inter alia, atherosclerosis. Materials and Methods Male apolipoprotein E-deficient mice received a high-fat diet for 2 (n = 11) or 4 months (n = 11). Additionally, a group (n = 11) receiving pravastatin by drinking water for 4 months alongside the high-fat diet was examined. The control group (n = 10) consisted of C57BL/6J mice on standard chow. Molecular magnetic resonance imaging was performed prior to and after administration of the gadolinium (Gd)-based ADAMTS4-specific probe, followed by ex vivo analyses of the aortic arch, brachiocephalic arteries, and carotid arteries. A P value <0.05 was considered to indicate a statistically significant difference. Results With advancing atherosclerosis, a significant increase in the contrast-to-noise ratio was measured after intravenous application of the probe (mean precontrast = 2.25; mean postcontrast = 11.47, P < 0.001 in the 4-month group). The pravastatin group presented decreased ADAMTS4 expression. A strong correlation between ADAMTS4 content measured via immunofluorescence staining and an increase in the contrast-to-noise ratio was detected (R2 = 0.69). Microdissection analysis revealed that ADAMTS4 gene expression in the plaque area was significantly greater than that in the arterial wall of a control mouse (P < 0.001). Laser ablation–inductively coupled plasma–mass spectrometry confirmed strong colocalization of areas positive for ADAMTS4 and Gd. Conclusions Magnetic resonance imaging using an ADAMTS4-specific agent is a promising method for characterizing atherosclerotic plaques and could improve plaque assessment in the diagnosis and treatment of atherosclerosis. N2 - Einleitung Atherosklerose ist die Ursache für zahlreiche Herz-Kreislauf-Erkrankungen. Die derzeitigen klinischen Bildgebungsverfahren liefern keine ausreichenden Informationen über die Zusammensetzung von Plaques oder das Risiko einer Ruptur. A Disintegrin and Metalloproteinase with Thrombospondin Motifs 4 (ADAMTS4) ist ein stark hochreguliertes Proteoglykan-spaltendes Enzym, das unter anderem bei Herz-Kreislauf-Erkrankungen wie Atherosklerose spezifisch auftritt. Materialien und Methoden Männliche Apolipoprotein-E-defiziente Mäuse erhielten 2 (n = 11) oder 4 Monate lang (n = 11) eine fettreiche Ernährung. Zusätzlich wurde eine Gruppe (n = 11) untersucht, die 4 Monate lang neben der fettreichen Ernährung Pravastatin über das Trinkwasser erhielt. Die Kontrollgruppe (n = 10) bestand aus C57BL/6J-Mäusen, die mit Standardfutter ernährt wurden. Vor und nach der Verabreichung der gadolinium (Gd)-basierten ADAMTS4-spezifischen Sonde wurde eine molekulare Magnetresonanztomographie durchgeführt, gefolgt von Ex-vivo-Analysen des Aortenbogens, der Arteria brachiocephalica und der Arteria carotis. Ein P-Wert < 0,05 wurde als statistisch signifikanter Unterschied gewertet. Ergebnisse Mit fortschreitender Atherosklerose wurde nach intravenöser Anwendung der Sonde ein signifikanter Anstieg des Kontrast-Rausch-Verhältnisses gemessen (Mittelwert vor Kontrastmittelgabe = 2,25; Mittelwert nach Kontrastmittelgabe = 11,47, P < 0,001 in der 4-Monats-Gruppe). Die Pravastatin-Gruppe zeigte eine verminderte ADAMTS4-Expression. Es wurde eine starke Korrelation zwischen dem mittels Immunfluoreszenzfärbung gemessenen ADAMTS4-Gehalt und einem Anstieg des Kontrast-Rausch-Verhältnisses festgestellt (R2 = 0,69). Die Mikrodissektionsanalyse ergab, dass die ADAMTS4-Genexpression im Plaque-Bereich signifikant höher war als in der Arterienwand einer Kontrollmaus (P < 0,001). Laserablation-induktiv gekoppelte Plasma-Massenspektrometrie bestätigte eine starke Kolokalisierung von ADAMTS4- und Gd-positiven Bereichen. Schlussfolgerungen Die Magnetresonanztomographie mit einem ADAMTS4-spezifischen Kontrastmittel ist eine vielversprechende Methode zur Charakterisierung atherosklerotischer Plaques und könnte die Plaquebewertung in der Diagnose und Behandlung von Atherosklerose verbessern.

It was shown that most impurities are only present in trace amounts and can be considered uncritical for most applications. The most frequent and perhaps unexpected impurities were homo- and heterodimers caused by the free cysteines contained in these peptide pools. Furthermore, pyroglutamate and aspartimide formation, deamidation, methionine oxidation, and amino acid deletions could be found.

T1 - Corundum Particles as Trypsin Carrier for Efficient Protein Digestion N2 - Reusable enzyme carriers are valuable for proteomic workflows, yet many supports are expensive or lack robustness. This study describes the covalent immobilization of recombinant trypsin on micrometer-sized corundum particles and assesses their performance in protein digestion and antibody analysis. The corundum surface was cleaned with potassium hydroxide, silanized with 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane and activated with glutaraldehyde. Recombinant trypsin was then attached, and the resulting imines were reduced with sodium cyanoborohydride. Aromatic amino acid analysis (AAAA) estimated an enzyme loading of approximately 1 µg/mg. Non-specific adsorption of human plasma proteins was suppressed by blocking residual aldehydes with a Tris-glycine-lysine buffer. Compared with free trypsin, immobilization shifted the temperature optimum from 50 to 60 °C and greatly improved stability in 1 M guanidinium hydrochloride. Activity remained above 80 % across several reuse cycles, and storage at 4 °C preserved functionality for weeks. When applied to digesting the NISTmAb, immobilized trypsin provided peptide yields and sequence coverage comparable to soluble enzyme and outperformed it at elevated temperatures. MALDI-TOF MS analysis of Herceptin digests yielded fingerprint spectra that correctly identified the antibody and achieved >60 % sequence coverage. The combination of low cost, robustness and analytical performance makes corundum-immobilized trypsin an attractive option for research and routine proteomic workflows.

T1 - Drone-Based Localization of Hazardous Chemicals by Passive Smart Dust N2 - The distribution of tiny sensors over a specific area was first proposed in the late 1990s as a concept known as Smart Dust. Several efforts focused primarily on computing and networking capabilities but quickly ran into problems related to power supply, cost, data transmission, and environmental pollution. To overcome these limitations, we propose using paper-based (confetti-like) chemosensors that exploit the inherent selectivity of chemical reagents, such as colorimetric indicators. In this work, cheap and biodegradable passive sensors made from cellulose could successfully indicate the presence of hazardous chemicals, e.g., strong acids, by a significant color change. A conventional color digital camera attached to a drone could easily detect this from a safe distance. The collected data was processed to define the hazardous area. Our work presents a combination of the smart dust concept, chemosensing, paper-based sensor technology, and low-cost drones for flexible, sensitive, economical, and rapid detection of hazardous chemicals in high-risk scenarios. N2 - Die Verteilung winziger Sensoren über ein bestimmtes Gebiet wurde erstmals Ende der 1990er Jahre als Konzept namens „Smart Dust“ vorgeschlagen. Mehrere Bemühungen konzentrierten sich hauptsächlich auf Rechen- und Netzwerkfähigkeiten, stießen jedoch schnell auf Probleme im Zusammenhang mit der Stromversorgung, den Kosten, der Datenübertragung und der Umweltverschmutzung. Um diese Einschränkungen zu überwinden, schlagen wir die Verwendung von papierbasierten (konfettiartigen) Chemosensoren vor, die die inhärente Selektivität chemischer Reagenzien, wie z. B. kolorimetrischer Indikatoren, nutzen. In dieser Arbeit konnten günstige und biologisch abbaubare passive Sensoren aus Zellulose erfolgreich das Vorhandensein gefährlicher Chemikalien, z.B. starker Säuren, durch eine deutliche Farbänderung anzeigen. Eine herkömmliche Farb-Digitalkamera, die an einer Drohne befestigt ist, konnte dies aus sicherer Entfernung leicht erkennen. Die gesammelten Daten wurden verarbeitet, um den Gefahrenbereich zu abzugrenzen. Unsere Arbeit stellt eine Kombination aus dem Smart-Dust-Konzept, Chemosensorik, papierbasierter Sensortechnologie und kostengünstigen Drohnen für eine flexible, empfindliche, wirtschaftliche und schnelle Erkennung gefährlicher Chemikalien in Hochrisikoszenarien dar.

T1 - Simplified Sample Preparation and Lateral Flow Immunoassay for the Detection of Plant Viruses N2 - Lateral flow immunoassays (LFA) are widely used for decentralized testing, but their application for in-field plant virus diagnostics is often limited by tedious sample preparation. Here, we present a simplified dipstick LFA for the detection and monitoring of cowpea chlorotic mottle virus (CCMV) as a model plant pathogen. The assay employes a monoclonal mouse antibody for capture and a polyclonal rabbit antibody conjugated to 80-nm gold nanoparticles for detection. Conventional sample and conjugate pads are omitted, allowing the test strips to be dipped directly into wells containing plant extract and antibody-gold conjugate. In addition, no plastic casing was necessary, which significantly reduces waste. It was shown that CCMV concentrations as low as 4 μg/L or 400 pg per sample could be reliably detected in 15 minutes. Specificity tests confirmed that other plant viruses, cowpea mosaic virus (CPMV) and tobacco mosaic virus (TMV), did not produce false positive results. Furthermore, we describe a field-compatible sampling procedure using a manual punch and a disposable syringe. This step combines sample grinding, extraction, and conjugate reconstitution within the syringe frit, enabling the analysis of punched leaf discs without laboratory equipment. When applied to CCMV-infected cowpea plants, the assay revealed systemic infection before visual symptoms became apparent. This work demonstrates that simplified LFAs combined with innovative sampling techniques can provide sensitive, specific, and rapid diagnostics for crop monitoring and support early intervention strategies in agriculture. N2 - Lateral Flow Immunoassays (LFA) werden häufig für dezentrale Tests verwendet, aber ihre Anwendung für die Diagnose von Pflanzenviren im Feld wird oft durch die mühsame Probenvorbereitung eingeschränkt. Hier stellen wir einen vereinfachten Dipstick-LFA zum Nachweis und zur Überwachung des Cowpea Chlorotic Mottle Virus (CCMV) als Modellpflanzenpathogen vor. Der Assay verwendet einen monoklonalen Maus-Antikörper zum Einfangen des Virus und einen polyklonalen Kaninchen-Antikörper, der an 80-nm-Goldnanopartikel konjugiert ist, zum Nachweis. Herkömmliche Proben- und Konjugatpads entfallen, sodass die Teststreifen direkt in Vertiefungen getaucht werden können, die Pflanzenextrakt und Antikörper-Gold-Konjugat enthalten. Darüber hinaus war keine Kunststoffhülle erforderlich, was den Abfall erheblich reduziert. Es zeigte sich, dass CCMV-Konzentrationen von nur 4 μg/L oder 400 pg pro Probe innerhalb von 15 Minuten zuverlässig nachgewiesen werden konnten. Spezifitätstests bestätigten, dass andere Pflanzenviren, das Cowpea Mosaic Virus (CPMV) und das Tobacco Mosaic Virus (TMV), keine falsch positiven Ergebnisse lieferten. Darüber hinaus beschreiben wir ein feldtaugliches Probenahmeverfahren unter Verwendung eines manuellen Stanzers und einer Einwegspritze. Dieser Schritt kombiniert das Zerkleinern der Probe, die Extraktion und die Rekonstitution des Konjugats innerhalb der Spritzenfritte und ermöglicht so die Analyse von ausgestanzten Blattscheiben ohne Laborausrüstung. Bei der Anwendung auf CCMV-infizierte Augenbohnenpflanzen zeigte der Test eine systemische Infektion, bevor visuelle Symptome sichtbar wurden. Diese Arbeit zeigt, dass vereinfachte LFAs in Kombination mit innovativen Probenahmetechniken eine sensitive, spezifische und schnelle Diagnostik für die Überwachung von Nutzpflanzen ermöglichen und frühzeitige Interventionsstrategien in der Landwirtschaft unterstützen können.

Antibody-gated indicator-releasing materials were thus developed and implemented with test strips for lateral-flow assay-based analysis employing a smartphone for readout. Besides a proper matching of pore sizes and gating macromolecules, the functionalization of both the material's outer surface as well as the strips with PEG chains enhanced system performance. This simple assay allowed for the detection of permethrin as a target molecule at concentrations down to the lower ppb level in less than 5 minutes.

Despite their simplicity, this type of tests must guarantee analytical relevance and reliability like laboratory-based analysis, e.g., in terms of sensitivity, selectivity, immunity against false positives and false negatives as well as robustness and repeatability. Keeping in mind the high sensitivity offered by gated indicator-releasing micro- and nanoparticles due to their inherent features of signal amplification, we performed several optimisations to develop a potential biosensor platform for use in rapid tests. Conceptually, these gated materials are closely related to drug delivery systems, consisting of high porous materials usually closed with macromolecular “caps” and loaded with indicator molecules that are released in presence of a target analyte. However, the key difference between the two types of functional materials is that many drug delivery systems should deliver their cargo over a longer period, often many hours, whereas the gated materials prepared for sensing should show fast release kinetics, on the order of <5 min. With the aim to optimise and adapt gated materials for sensing purposes, we prepared in this work several antibody-gated materials for small-molecule sensing. The materials consisted of porous silica particles containing indicator molecules in the pores and certain hapten molecules grafted to the particle surface close to the pore openings. The pores were then capped with antibodies binding to these haptens, thus inhibiting the escape of the indicators from inside of the pores. In presence of the corresponding analyte, the antibody is displaced from the surface of the material, allowing the escape of the indicators. This allows the detection of the analyte indirectly through an inherent signal amplification. In this work, the insecticide permethrin, a type-I pyrethroid, was selected as target model, because type-I pyrethroids play an important role in airplane disinfection. A first in-depth study of the various chemical tuning options of such antibody gated systems was performed. Different mesoporous silica supports, different functionalisation routes and different loading sequences were assessed. The materials’ performances were evaluated by studying their temporal response behaviour and detection sensitivity, including the tightness of pore closure (through the amount of blank release in absence of analyte) and the release kinetics. Our results indicate that the better the paratope-accommodating Fab region of the antibody “cap” fits into the host material’s pore openings, the better the closing/opening mechanism can be controlled. Because such materials can be used in various different formats from suspension assays[1] via microfluidic chips[2] to test strip-based lateral flow assays,[3] such materials present a powerful analytical particle platform for the sensitive analytics and diagnostics outside of a laboratory, realising sensitivities down to the µg kg–1 range in less analysis times of less than 5 min as we have recently demonstrated.[4] T2 - Biosensors for Pandemics CY - Online conference DA - 06.05.2020 KW - Hybrid materials KW - Pyrethroids KW - Signal amplification PY - 2020 UR - http://www.confstreaming.com/Biosensors2020/ AN - OPUS4-50746 LA - eng AD - Bundesanstalt fuer Materialforschung und -pruefung (BAM), Berlin, Germany ER - TY - CONF A1 - Climent Terol, Estela T1 - Antibody-gated indicator releasing mesoporous materials: a potential biosensor platform to be used in the development of rapid tests N2 - The urgent necessity to carry out reliable and relevant analytical measurements directly at a point-of-need is one of the current drivers for the development of miniaturised analytical systems, quick tests and wearables. Despite their simplicity, this type of tests must guarantee analytical relevance and reliability like laboratory-based analysis, e.g., in terms of sensitivity, selectivity, immunity against false positives and false negatives as well as robustness and repeatability. Keeping in mind the high sensitivity offered by gated indicator-releasing micro- and nanoparticles due to their inherent features of signal amplification, we performed several optimisations to develop a potential biosensor platform for use in rapid tests. Conceptually, these gated materials are closely related to drug delivery systems, consisting of high porous materials usually closed with macromolecular “caps” and loaded with indicator molecules that are released in presence of a target analyte. However, the key difference between the two types of functional materials is that many drug delivery systems should deliver their cargo over a longer period, often many hours, whereas the gated materials prepared for sensing should show fast release kinetics, on the order of <5 min. With the aim to optimise and adapt gated materials for sensing purposes, we prepared in this work several antibody-gated materials for small-molecule sensing. The materials consisted of porous silica particles containing indicator molecules in the pores and certain hapten molecules grafted to the particle surface close to the pore openings. The pores were then capped with antibodies binding to these haptens, thus inhibiting the escape of the indicators from inside of the pores.

Als Basis fungierte ein Peptid, welches für den Einsatz gezielt modifiziert wurde. So sollte am C-Terminus ein Biotin eingefügt werden, dass für die spätere Detektion der Biokonjugation genutzt werden kann, während am N-Terminus ein Cross-Linker für die kovalente Bindung zum Antikörper eingefügt wurde. Das Biotin wurde mittels Biotin-Lysin eingebaut. Dies hat den Vorteil, dass die modifizierte Aminosäure direkt in der SPPS genutzt werden kann. Auch der Cross-Linker soll schon während der SPPS in das Peptid integriert werden. Als Cross Linker wurden die zwei heterobifunktionellen Succinimidyl(3-bromoacetamid)propionate und Succinimidyl(4-iodacetyl)aminobenzoat untersucht. Die Aktivierung des Peptides mit dem SBAP-Cross-Linker erfolgte am besten im pH-Bereich zwischen 7,0 und 9,0. Die Modifizierung des Peptides mit dem Iodid-Cross-Linker SIAB unter den gleichen Bedingungen zeigte allerdings keine zufriedenstellenden Ergebnisse. Da das erste Peptid allerdings in den Folgeexperimenten sehr gute Ergebnisse zeigte, musste kein weiterer Linker getestet werden. Zusätzlich zu der Cross-Linker-Wahl sollte der Abstand zwischen dem Cross-Linker und dem Grundgerüst des Peptides auf den Einfluss der Bindung untersucht werden. Dazu wurden drei Kontrollpeptide synthetisiert, die entweder um zwei Aminosäuren zwischen dem ursprünglichen N-Terminus des Peptides und dem SBAP-Linker verlängert wurden, keinen SBAP-Linker beinhalten oder die Verlängerung ohne SBAP-Linker besaßen. Die erfolgreiche Synthese aller vier Peptide wurde mittels MALDI-TOF-MS bestätigt.

T1 - Silicon Photonic Micro-Ring Resonators for Chemical and Biological Sensing: A Tutorial N2 - Silicon photonic micro-ring resonators (MRR) developed on the silicon-on-insulator (SOI) platform, owing to their high sensitivity and small footprint, show great potential for many chemical and biological sensing applications such as label-free detection in environmental monitoring, biomedical engineering, and food analysis. In this tutorial,we provide the theoretical background and give design guidelines for SOI-based MRR as well as examples of surface functionalization procedures for label-free detection of molecules. After introducing the advantages and perspectives of MRR, fundamentals of MRR are described in detail, followed by an introduction to the fabrication methods, which are based on a complementary metal-oxide semiconductor (CMOS) technology. Optimization of MRR for chemical and biological sensing is provided, with special emphasis on the optimization of waveguide geometry. At this point, the difference between chemical bulk sensing and label-free surface sensing is explained, and definitions like waveguide sensitivity, ring sensitivity, overall sensitivity as well as the limit of detection (LoD) of MRR are introduced. Further, we show and explain chemical bulk sensing of sodium chloride (NaCl) in water and provide a recipe for label-free surface sensing.

T1 - Topical collection: Analytical methods and applications in the materials and life sciences N2 - Current trends in materials and life sciences are flanked by the need to push detection limits to single molecules or single cells, enable the characterization of increasingly complex matrices or sophisticated nanostructures, speed up the time of analysis, reduce instrument complexity and costs, and improve the reliability of data. This requires suitable analytical tools such as spectroscopic, separation and imaging techniques, mass spectrometry, and hyphenated techniques as well as sensors and their adaptation to application-specific challenges in the environmental, food, consumer product, health sector, nanotechnology, and bioanalysis. Increasing concerns about health threatening known or emerging pollutants in drinking water, consumer products, and food and about the safety of nanomaterials led to a new awareness of the importance of analytical sciences. Another important driver in this direction is the increasing demand by legislation, particularly in view of the 17 sustainable development goals by the United Nations addressing clean energy, industry, and innovation, sustainable cities, clean water, and responsible consumption and production. In this respect, also the development of analytical methods that enable the characterization of material flows in production processes and support recycling concepts of precious raw materials becomes more and more relevant. In the future, this will provide the basis for greener production in the chemical industry utilizing recycled or sustainable starting materials. This makes analytical chemistry an essential player in terms of the circular economy helping to increase the sustainability of production processes. In the life sciences sector, products based on proteins, such as therapeutic and diagnostic antibodies, increase in importance. These increasingly biotechnologically produced functional biomolecules pose a high level of complexity of matrix and structural features that can be met only by highly advanced methods for separation, characterization, and detection. In addition, metrological traceability and target definition are still significant challenges for the future, particularly in the life sciences. However, innovative reference materials as required for the health and food sector and the characterization of advanced materials can only be developed when suitable analytical protocols are available. The so-called reproducibility crisis in sciences underlines the importance of improved measures of quality control for all kinds of measurements and material characterization. This calls for thorough method validation concepts, suitable reference materials, and regular interlaboratory comparisons of measurements as well as better training of scientists in analytical sciences. The important contribution of analytical sciences to these developments is highlighted by a broad collection of research papers, trend articles, and critical reviews from these different application fields. Special emphasis is dedicated to often-overlooked quality assurance and reference materials.
