TY - JOUR A1 - Riedel, Soraya A1 - Jaut, Valerie A1 - Schneider, Rudolf T1 - Ergometrine sensing in rye flour by a magnetic bead-based immunoassay followed by flow injection analysis with amperometric detection N2 - A certain group of mycotoxins, the ergot alkaloids, has caused countless deaths throughout human history. They are found in rye and other cereals and ingesting contaminated foods can cause serious health problems. To identify contaminated food exceeding the legal limits for ergot alkaloids, a portable and cost-effective test system is of great interest to the food industry. Rapid analysis can be achieved by screening for a marker compound, for which we chose ergometrine. We developed a magnetic bead-based immunoassay for ergometrine with amperometric detection in a flow injection system using a handheld potentiostat and a smartphone. With this assay a limit of detection of 3 nM (1 μg/L) was achieved. In spiked rye flour, ergometrine levels from 25 to 250 μg/kg could be quantified. All results could be verified by optical detection. The developed assay offers great promise to meet the demand for on-site ergometrine detection in the food industry.

The food industry often runs own lab procedures, for example, for mycotoxin analysis, but it is a major goal to simplify analysis, linking analytical methods with smart technologies. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays, with photometric detection of 3,3’,5,5’-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB),form a good basis for sensitive detection. To provide a straightforward approach for the miniaturization of the detectionstep, we have studied the pitfalls of the electrochemical TMB detection. By cyclic voltammetry it was found that the TMB electrochemistry is strongly dependent on the pH and the electrode material. A stable electrode response to TMB could be achieved at pH 1 on gold electrodes. We created a smartphonebased, electrochemical, immunomagnetic assay for the detection of ochratoxin A in real samples, providing a solid basis forsensing of further analytes.

With fast progress, smart technologies are finding their way into our everyday life. For the future, it is, therefore, a major goal to also link analytical methods with smart technologies to create user-friendly on-site devices. In food industry the monitoring of harmful substances such as dioxins, heavy metals or mycotoxins plays a key role, since the European Commission prescribes legal limits for various food products and beverages[1]. Therefore, companies often have their own laboratories and trained personnel. For one of the most abundant and toxic mycotoxins, Ochratoxin A (OTA) we want to present an electrochemical detection system in which the read-out can be performed with a smartphone connected via Bluetooth to a miniaturized potentiostat. The recognition of OTA is performed with specific antibodies in a competitive assay format. Anti-OTA-antibodies were captured on magnetic beads on which the competitive binding between OTA and an OTA horseradish peroxidase (HRP) tracer was performed. To quantify OTA, the enzymatic reaction of the tracer with 3,3′,5,5′-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) and H2O2 is employed. Oxidized TMB, which is enzymatically produced by the reduction of H2O2, is quantified by amperometry with screen-printed electrodes in a custom-made flow system. Since it is well-known that oxidized TMB can precipitate on electrode surfaces[2], we have studied pitfalls of the electrochemical detection of TMB. By cyclic voltammetry we have compared the stability of the electrochemistry of TMB at different electrode materials (gold and carbon) and pH values (pH 1 and pH 4). It was found that a stable response of the electrode could be achieved at pH 1 on gold electrodes. Thus, we applied these reaction conditions for amperometric detection of TMB in the OTA assay. The results of the electrochemical detection method are in good correlation with the photometric detection of TMB. To demonstrate the applicability, we tested our system with OTA-spiked beer and performed the measurement via smartphone.

T1 - Enzyme activity determination of human monoamine oxidase B (Mao B) by amperometric hydrogen peroxide detection N2 - Parkinson’s disease (PD) is one of the most common neurodegenerative disorders worldwide. About 0.3 % of the global population and approximately 2 % of people older than 80 years are affected by PD. Monoamine oxidase B (Mao B) is an enzyme, which is a drug target in Parkinson’s disease (PD), since it is involved in dopamine metabolism. Several Mao B inhibitors are well established as medication for PD patients. However, the medical treatment is only little personalized since the monitoring of the patients Mao B activity is complex and requires sophisticated laboratory equipment. Here a sensorial Mao B activity determination system has been developed which has potential in the personalization of the medical PD treatment. The enzyme activity is quantified by amperometric detection of enzymatically produced H2O2. Therefore, the enzyme is enriched from the solution via cellulose particles which are functionalized with antibodies against human Mao B. The successful capturing of the enzyme can be verified by SDS-PAGE. For activity determination the enzyme is brought in contact with a suitable substrate - here benzylamine. Selectivity of the amperometric hydrogen peroxide detection in the presence of co-reactants has been verified. Within the time span of 30 min, a linear dependency of enzymatically produced H2O2 with the substrate incubation time can be observed. This allows the evaluation of the Mao B activity. The results have been correlated to an optical detection method. Furthermore, the method has been tested for different amounts of enzyme used in the experiments and found to be sensitive enough for Mao B analysis in blood samples.

To provide a straight-forward approach for the miniaturization of the detection step, we have studied the pitfalls of the electrochemical TMB detection. By cyclic voltammetry it was found that the TMB electrochemistry is strongly dependent on the pH and the electrode material. It was found that screen-printed gold electrodes and a highly acidic pH value (pH 1) are well-suited to perform the electrochemical detection of TMB, due to the reversible character of the redox reaction under these conditions. This set-up provides a good signal stability over several measuring cycles, providing the basis for analysing multiple samples. In contrast to this, for carbon screen-printed electrodes, it was found that the signal response has changed after the electrochemical reaction with TMB at pH 1. At a weakly acidic pH value (pH 4), neither with carbon nor with gold electrodes a reproducible electrochemical detection of TMB could be achieved [1]. Based on these findings we created a smartphone-based, electrochemical, immunomagnetic assay for the detection of ochratoxin A and ergometrine in real samples. Therefore, a competitive assay was performed on magnetic beads using HRP and TMB/H2O2 to generate the signal. Enzymatically oxidized TMB was quantified after addition of H2SO4 by amperometry with screen-printed gold electrodes in a custom-made wall-jet flow cell. The results are in good correlation with the established photometric detection method, providing a solid basis for sensing of further analytes in HRP-based assays using the newly developed miniaturized smartphone-based, electrochemical, immunomagnetic assay.

T1 - Utilizing Aspergillus niger Fumonisin Amine Oxidase for the Electrochemical Detection of Fumonisin N2 - Fumonisins are a class of toxic secondary metabolites produced by various Fusarium species. The two most important producers of fumonisins are F. verticillioides and F. proliferatum but also Aspergillus niger is known to produce fumonisins. Most frequently they occur on maize, but also other grains can be contaminated with this group of mycotoxins. Exposure to fumonisins by dietary intake can have serious health effects on farm animals and also within humans. Thus, the European Commission sets legal limits for fumonisins in feed and foodstuffs. The detection of fumonisins is frequently performed in laboratories by chromatographic methods, which are costly and require trained personnel. Simplifying the analysis is therefore a major goal using portable detection systems. Electrochemical enzymatic biosensors offer great promise to meet this demand. Here we report for the first time an enzymatic fumonisin sensing approach with amperometric detection. For this purpose, an Aspergillus niger fumonisin amine oxidase (AnFAO) catalyzing the oxidative deamination of fumonisins, producing hydrogen peroxide, was recombinantly produced in E. coli. It was found that the specific activity of AnFAO using 20 μM Fumonisin B1 as substrate is higher than for 20 μM Fumonisin B2 with 0.122 U mg-1 and 0.058 U mg-1, respectively. It was possible to show a dependence of enzyme activity with enzyme – and substrate-concentration. For fumonisin B1 detection, the enzyme was coupled covalently to magnetic particles and the enzymatically produced H2O2 was detected amperometrically in a flow injection system using Prussian blue carbon electrodes. The developed method allows to quantify fumonisin B1 concentrations down to 1.5 µM and demonstrates that the recombinantly produced AnFAO was able to deaminate different concentrations of fumonisin even in immobilized form. Thus, this enzyme is well suited to develop an enzyme based electrochemical biosensor for fumonisin contaminated food and feed.
