Highly sensitive olfactory biosensors for the detection of volatile organic compounds by surface plasmon resonance imaging
2018
International audience; Nowadays, monitoring of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) is very important in various domains. In this work, we aimed to develop sensitive olfactory biosensors using odorant binding proteins (OBPs) as sensing materials. Three rat OBP3 derivatives with customized binding properties were designed and immobilized on the same chip for the detection of VOCs in solution by surface plasmon resonance imaging (SPRi). We demonstrated that the proteins kept their binding properties after the immobilization under optimized conditions. The obtained olfactory biosensors exhibited very low limits of detection in both concentration (200pM of beta-ionone) and in molecular weight of …
Development of a novel olfactory biosensor based on surface plasmon resonance imaging
2018
Monitoring volatile organic compounds (VOCs) is a key issue in many industrial domains, from food industry to public safety. Here, we propose a biomimetic alternative to traditional analytical methods such as gas chromatography and mass spectroscopy. Novel olfactory biosensor was developed using surface plasmon resonance imaging (SPRi) and odorant binding proteins (OBPs). OBPs are robust and can reversibly bind VOCs with a micromolar affinity. Herein, three mutant OBPs with tuned binding properties were immobilized on a chip in a microarray format to detect VOCs in liquid. We demonstrated that SPRi was efficient for the analysis of VOCs. The olfactory biosensor exhibited a low limit of dete…
Surface plasmon resonance imaging for sensing volatile organic compounds: Biomimetic olfactory biosensors and optoelectronic nose
2018
National audience; Nowadays, there is a growing demand for the analysis of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in various domains, including environment, quality control, and medical diagnostics. Traditional analytical methods, though accurate and reliable, require expensive equipment and are often time-consuming and laborious. On the other side, food & fragrance industries employ human sensory panels to evaluate the quality of an odour. However, panellists are expensive to train and employ and they can give biased results. To bridge the gap, we developed different sensor systems inspired by the human nose. Here, a biomimetic olfactory biosensor based on key-and-lock principle was designed us…
