Rapid, simplified bead-based cytometric immunoassays are needed to make these methods viable for point-of-need applications, especially with the increasing accessibility of miniaturized cytometers. This work introduces superparamagnetic hybrid polystyrene-silica core–shell microparticles as promising alternatives to conventional polymer beads in competitive cytometric immunoassays. These beads, featuring high specificity, sensitivity, and excellent handling capabilities via magnetic separation, were evaluated with three different antibodies and binding methods, showing variations in signal intensity based on the antibody and its attachment method. The optimal performance was achieved through a secondary antibody binding approach, providing strong and consistent signals with minimal uncertainty. The optimized protocol made it possible to achieve a detection limit of 0.025 nM in a total assay time of only 15 min and was successfully used to detect ochratoxin A (OTA) in raw flour samples. This work highlights the potential of these beads as versatile tools for flow cytometry-based immunoassays, with significant implications for food safety, animal health, environmental monitoring, and clinical diagnostics.","PeriodicalId":29800,"journal":{"name":"ACS Measurement Science Au","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-09-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142256997","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Unlike traditional biosensors that struggle with heavily diluted sample matrices, the presented biosensor does not require any instrumentation or trained personnel, making it highly practical. The sensor features an oligonucleotide probe covalently attached to magnetically separable magnetite (Fe<sub>3</sub>O<sub>4</sub>) particles. This probe selectively captures a DNA mimic of the SARS-CoV-2 RNA sequence via a base-pair hybridization. The DNA mimic oligomer sequence was tested in a buffer solution, undiluted serum, and undiluted salivary biofluids. A second complementary hybridization sequence with a biotin tag was used to bind the target oligomer already hybridized to the magnetic particle-conjugated capture probe. Subsequent detection of the target oligomer was accomplished through high-affinity selective binding of streptavidin-peroxidase labels with the detection probe biotin units for visual colorimetric detection in the presence of 3,3′,5,5′-tetramethylbenzidine and hydrogen peroxide. Inverse assaying of the unbound-free streptavidin-peroxidase labels left in the detection reagent solution offered a reverse trend to the target oligomer concentration, as anticipated. We obtained detection limits of 1 fM (buffer assay), 1 pM (undiluted serum assay), and 1 pM (undiluted saliva assay) and with the linear ranges of 1 fM–10 nM (buffer assay), 1 pM–1 nM (undiluted serum assay), and 1 pM–1 nM (undiluted saliva assay), respectively. The assays in different biofluids allowed for the estimation of the analytical performance and the effect of sample matrices on the detection limits and calibration sensitivity.","PeriodicalId":29800,"journal":{"name":"ACS Measurement Science Au","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-09-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142194453","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
