Den automatiserede syntesemetode, der er beskrevet i protokollen, gør det muligt at syntetisere Au NP'er af stigende størrelse reproducerbart. Selv om der er nogle elementer, der stadig skal udføres manuelt, såsom hurtig tilsætning af natriumcitrat under frøsyntesen og kontrol med jævne mellemrum for at sikre, at PEEK-slangen er sikker, tillader denne metode Au NP'er af store størrelser (op til 40 nm), hvilket normalt ville kræve flere manuelle injektioner af HAuCl4 og natriumcitrat, skal syntetisere...

Urinsyre, som er slutproduktet af metabolisme af purinnukleotider, er en vigtig biomarkør i blodserum og urin til diagnosticering af sygdomme som gigt, præeklampsi, nyresygdomme, hypertension, hjerte-kar-sygdomme og diabetes 1,2,3,4,5. Nuværende metoder til detektion af urinsyre omfatter kolorimetriske enzymatiske assays, højtydende væskekromatografi og kapillær elektroforese, som er tidskrævende, dyre og kræver sofistikeret prøveforberedelse 6,7,8,9.
Overfladeforstærket Raman-spektroskopi er en lovende teknik til rutinemæssig point-of-care-diagnose, da den muliggør selektiv detektion af biomolekyler via deres vibrationsfingeraftryk og tilbyder adskillige fordele såsom høj følsomhed, hurtig respons, brugervenlighed og ingen eller minimal prøveforberedelse. SERS-substrater baseret på ædelmetalnanopartikler (f.eks. Au NP'er) kan forbedre Raman-signalerne fra analytmolekylerne med 4 til 10 størrelsesordener10 via stærk elektromagnetisk forbedring forårsaget af overfladeplasmonresonans11. Au NP'er i skræddersyede størrelser kan let syntetiseres i modsætning til den tidskrævende fremstilling af komplekse metalnanokompositter12 og anvendes således i vid udstrækning i biomedicinske applikationer på grund af deres overlegne egenskaber 13,14,15,16. Fastgørelse af makrocykliske molekyler, cucurbit[n]urils (CBn, hvor n = 5-8, 10), på overfladen af Au NP'er kan yderligere forbedre SERS-signalerne fra analytmolekylerne, da de meget symmetriske og stive CB-molekyler kan styre den præcise afstand mellem Au-IP'erne og lokalisere analytmolekylerne i midten eller i nærheden af de plasmoniske hotspots via dannelse af værts-gæstekomplekser (figur 1)17, 18,19,20. Tidligere eksempler på SERS-undersøgelser ved hjælp af Au NP: CBn nanoaggregater omfatter nitroexplosives, polycykliske aromater, diaminostilben, neurotransmittere og kreatinin 21,22,23,24,25, hvor SERS-målingerne enten udføres i en kuvette eller ved at lægge en lille dråbe på en specialfremstillet prøveholder. Denne detektionsordning er særlig nyttig til hurtigt at kvantificere biomarkører i en kompleks matrix med høj reproducerbarhed.
Heri blev en let metode til dannelse af værts-gæstekomplekser af CB7 og en vigtig biomarkør UA og til at kvantificere UA med en detektionsgrænse på 0,2 μM via CB7-medierede aggregeringer af Au NP'er i vandige medier demonstreret ved hjælp af et modulært spektrometer, hvilket er lovende til diagnostiske og kliniske anvendelser.

quantitative sers detection of uric acid via formation of precise plasmonic nanojunctions within aggregates of gold nanoparticles and cucurbit[n]uril

Dette arbejde beskriver en hurtig og meget følsom metode til kvantitativ påvisning af en vigtig biomarkør, urinsyre (UA), via overfladeforstærket Raman-spektroskopi (SERS) med en lav detektionsgrænse på ~ 0,2 μM for flere karakteristiske toppe i fingeraftryksområdet ved hjælp af et modulært spektrometer. Dette biosensing-skema formidles af værts-gæst-kompleksdannelsen mellem en makrocyklus, cucurbit[7]uril (CB7) og UA og den efterfølgende dannelse af præcise plasmoniske nanojunktioner inden for de selvmonterede Au NP: CB7 nanoaggregater. En let Au NP-syntese af ønskelige størrelser for SERS-substrater er også blevet udført baseret på den klassiske citratreduktionsmetode med en mulighed for at blive lettet ved hjælp af en laboratoriebygget automatiseret synthesizer. Denne protokol kan let udvides til multiplexeret påvisning af biomarkører i kropsvæsker til kliniske anvendelser.

I den præsenterede Au NP-syntese viser UV-Vis-spektrene en forskydning af LSPR-toppe fra 521 nm til 529 nm efter 10 væksttrin (figur 4A,B), mens DLS-dataene viser en smal størrelsesfordeling, da størrelsen af Au NP'er stiger fra 25,9 nm til 42,8 nm (figur 4C,D). De gennemsnitlige størrelser af G0, G5 og G10 målt fra TEM-billeder (figur 4E) er henholdsvis 20,1 ± 2,1 nm, 32,5 ± 2,3 nm og 40,0 ...

Quantitative SERS Detection of Uric Acid via Formation of Precise Plasmonic Nanojunctions within Aggregates of Gold Nanoparticles and Cucurbit[n]uril

Et værts-gæstekompleks af cucurbit[7]uril og urinsyre blev dannet i en vandig opløsning, før der blev tilført en lille mængde til Au NP-opløsning til kvantitativ overfladeforstærket Raman-spektroskopi (SERS) sensing ved hjælp af et modulært spektrometer.
