This book was released on 2002 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This dissertation mainly focuses on detection of biomolecules on metal and metal-oxide surfaces by photoelectrochemistry. Characterization of DNA monolayers on the surface of gold was studied in detail by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), Polarization Modulated Infrared reflectance absorbance Spectroscopy (PMIRRAS) and FTIR. An electrochemical technique Chronocoulometry (CC) quantified the surface coverage of ssDNA on gold using a redox label. The issues that affected the hybridization efficiency of DNA on the gold surface were analyzed and parameters for optimum hybridization were established by the same techniques used to detect ssDNA on the surface. Though gold is a well-known surface, the thiol chemistry, which is the basis of attaching DNA on the surface, is not robust and reproducible due to the desorption of probes from the surface during hybridization, which involves elevating the temperature. Hybridization yield on gold surfaces could not be determined accurately as the desorption of probe from the surface was a competing phenomenon during hybridization event. As a result, new substrates were analyzed and indium-doped tin oxide (ITO) was found to be a very useful substrate because of the ease with which it can be modified with COOH, Phosphates, Phosphonates and silanes. In addition, the physical properties of ITO make it an attractive candidate to use in creating bioarrays. It is highly conductive and tansparent in the visible region and reflective in the IR. Compared to the thiol chemistry on gold the phosphates are much stronger and resistant to elevated temperatures used for hybridization. ITO electrodes can sustain relatively high potentials required to oxidize gold nanoparticles used as labels to detect hybridization. All these properties can be utilized to characterize ssDNA modified ITO surfaces and surface DNA hybridization either by optical or electrical methods. 12-Phosphonododecanoic acid (12-PDA) formed a well-ordered monolayer on the ITO.

Book Detection of Small Biomolecules by Plasmonic Nanoparticles  LSPR sensing

Download or read book Detection of Small Biomolecules by Plasmonic Nanoparticles LSPR sensing written by Jacqueline Jatschka and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Metal nanostructures with their attractive optical properties are of great interest in the field of biosensing. In this thesis, a label-free online detection of biomolecules with immobilized nanoparticles in a microfluidic chamber was realized. Two label-free sensor arrangements based on densely adsorbed (LSPR) and single nanostructures (sLSPR) were combined with a microfluidic system and compared to a commercial available system based on a gold layer (SPR). The surface sensitivity of the three sensing systems were investigated by sequential deposition of charged polyelectrolyte (PEL) layers and protein multilayers. It was even possible to detect nm thin layers online on an area smaller than 0.02μm2 on a single 80 nm spherical nanoparticle. The measurements confirmed that the LSPR signal has a non-linear dependency on the number of deposited layer in opposite to the SPR system, that the signal change is higher compared to the SPR system and that the signal depends on the size of the nanoparticle and the plasmon mode. The real-time detection of DNA-DNA binding was realized on 80 nm spherical gold nanoparticles (LSPR setup) in a microfluidic chamber without labeling. Two DNA sequences were successfully adsorbed covalently on the nanoparticles' surfaces and the subsequent hybridization was traceable within 5 min at room temperature. The additional application of non-target DNA verified the specific binding between the capture and target DNA and the binding process was repeatable by a chemical denaturation agent. Investigations concerning the buffer during biofunctionalization, the pre-treatment of the substrates with plasma and the coadsorption of mercaptohexanol resulted in an enhanced capture DNA adsorption and availability for target DNA hybridization.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a comprehensive introduction to nanoscale materials for sensor applications, with a focus on connecting the fundamental laws of physics and the chemistry of materials with device design. Nanoscale sensors can be used for a wide variety of applications, including the detection of gases, optical signals, and mechanical strain, and can meet the need to detect and quantify the presence of gaseous pollutants or other dangerous substances in the environment. Gas sensors have found various applications in our daily lives and in industry. Semiconductive oxides, including SnO2, ZnO, Fe2O3, and In2O3, are promising candidates for gas sensor applications. Carbon nanomaterials are becoming increasingly available as “off-the-shelf” components, and this makes nanotechnology more exciting and approachable than ever before. Nano-wire based field- effect transistor biosensors have also received much attention in recent years as a way to achieve ultra-sensitive and label-free sensing of molecules of biological interest. A diverse array of semiconductor-based nanostructures has been synthesized for use as a photoelectrochemical sensor or biosensor in the detection of low concentrations of analytes. A novel acoustic sensor for structural health monitoring (SHM) that utilizes lead zirconate titanate (PZT) nano- active fiber composites (NAFCs) is described as well.

Book General Methods in Biomarker Research and their Applications

Download or read book General Methods in Biomarker Research and their Applications written by Victor R. Preedy and published by Springer. This book was released on 2015-08-14 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the past decade there has been a major sea change in the way disease is diagnosed and investigated due to the advent of high throughput technologies, such as microarrays, lab on a chip, proteomics, genomics, lipomics, metabolomics etc. These advances have enabled the discovery of new and novel markers of disease relating to autoimmune disorders, cancers, endocrine diseases, genetic disorders, sensory damage, intestinal diseases etc. In many instances these developments have gone hand in hand with the discovery of biomarkers elucidated via traditional or conventional methods, such as histopathology or clinical biochemistry. Together with microprocessor-based data analysis, advanced statistics and bioinformatics these markers have been used to identify individuals with active disease or pathology as well as those who are refractory or have distinguishing pathologies. New analytical methods that have been used to identify markers of disease and is suggested that there may be as many as 40 different platforms. Unfortunately techniques and methods have not been readily transferable to other disease states and sometimes diagnosis still relies on single analytes rather than a cohort of markers. There is thus a demand for a comprehensive and focused evidenced-based text and scientific literature that addresses these issues. Hence the formulation of Biomarkers in Disease. The series covers a wide number of areas including for example, nutrition, cancer, endocrinology, cardiology, addictions, immunology, birth defects, genetics and so on. The chapters are written by national or international experts and specialists.
