Chemiluminescence immunoassay for a nonionic surfactant using a compact disc-type microfluidic platform*
نویسندگان
چکیده
A simple and pump-free chemiluminescence immunoassay based on a compact disc (CD)-type microfluidic platform for the determination of alkylphenol polyethoxylates (APnEOs) is described. The method is based on a competitive immunoreaction of the antiAPnEOs antibody immobilized on the magnetic microbeads between APnEOs and horseradish peroxidase (HRP)-labeled APnEOs in the sample solution. The luminol solution containing H2O2 and enhancer is caused to flow from one reservoir in the platform to another by appropriate adjustment of the speed of the rotation of the disc. The detection limit was similar to that reported in our previous paper, i.e., 10 ppb according to IC80.

متن کاملIntroducing chemiluminescence resonance energy transfer into immunoassay in a microfluidic format for an improved assay sensitivity.
We report on a novel strategy to improve microfluidic immunoassay sensitivity by introducing chemiluminescence resonance energy transfer (CRET) into the immunoreactions. The proposed CRET-based immunoassay for estradiol (E2, as a model analyte) is one of the most sensitive immunoassay with a limit of detection at 3.6 × 10(-11) M E2 in a microfluidic format.

A centrifugal compact disc (CD) microfluidic platform with reservoirs, micro-channels, and valves can be employed for implementing a complete immunoassay. Detection or biosensor chambers are either coated for immuno-interaction or a biosensor chip is inserted in them. On microfluidic CDs featuring such multi-step chemical/biological processes, the biosensor chamber must be repeatedly filled wit...
