Toward development of optical biosensors based on photoluminescence of TiO2 nanoparticles for the detection of Salmonella
2017
Quality control of food and agriculture production is an inseparable part of human safety and wellbeing. Salmonella infections belong to one of the most monitored pathogens in the world, therefore advanced determination of this pathogen can decrease the risks of human diseases caused by this microorganism. In this research we introduce a novel optical immunosensor for determination of Salmonella typhimurium. The immunosensor is based on Titanium dioxide (TiO2) nanoparticles deposited on glass substrates (glass/TiO2)center dot TiO2 nanoparticles exhibit an intense photoluminescence (PL) in the visible range of spectrum at room temperature. The direct immobilization of antibodies (anti-S-Ab) …

Recent advances on aptamer-based biosensors to detection of platelet-derived growth factor.
2018
Platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF-BB), a significant serum cytokine, is an important protein biomarker in diagnosis and recognition of cancer, which straightly rolled in proceeding of various cell transformations, including tumor growth and its development. Fibrosis, atherosclerosis are certain appalling diseases, which PDGF-BB is near to them. Generally, the expression amount of PDGF-BB increases in human life-threatening tumors serving as an indicator for tumor angiogenesis. Thus, identification and quantification of PDGF-BB in biomedical fields are particularly important. Affinity chromatography, immunohistochemical methods and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), conventional m…
Development of new strategies for the design of in situanalysis devices: nano and biomaterials
2021
La Tesis describe el concepto de análisis in situ y biomateriales que han dado lugar al desarrollo de varios dispositivos de análisis in situ. Estos dispositivos se basan principalmente en la inmovilización de reactivos en soportes sólidos. Se han empleado nano y (bio) materiales en el desarrollo de varios (bio) sensores o kits. Para el desarrollo de los dispositivos se consideraron los siguientes dos puntos críticos: i) la selección de los materiales de soporte donde tiene lugar la inmovilización de los reactivos, ii) la reacción involucrada en el procedimiento. Es importante estudiar la reacción entre el material y los reactivos para comprender la liberación del reactivo a la disolución o…
Recent progress in optical and electrochemical biosensors for sensing of Clostridium botulinum neurotoxin
2018
Abstract Botulinum toxin is a neurotoxic protein which produced from Clostridium botulinum and related species and it block acetylcholine release from presynaptic nerve terminals at the neuromuscular junctions. This toxin is life threatening for millions of people and growing menace to society since causing human botulism. Enzymatic activity of Botulinum neurotoxin within the cell made it hazardous and lead to flaccid paralysis. However, there isn't any reliable and precise remedy for this toxin. Therefore, there is an urgent need for early detection of this toxin in a fast and meticulous way with a robust and cost-effective relationship for real-time monitoring of Botulinum neurotoxin. Sev…
Fe(III)-DOTA/Fe(III)-NOTA Complexes: Attractive Alternative Markers for Future Electrochemical Biosensors
2020
Metallic complexes of macrocycles chelators 1,4,7-triazacyclononane-N,N,N-triacetic acid (NOTA) and 1,4,7,10-tetraazacyclododecane-1,4,7,10-tetraacetic acid (DOTA) were synthetized with iron (III) giving Fe(III)-DOTA and Fe(III)-NOTA complexes. They were studied in comparison of ferricyanide and ferrocenemethanol on cyclic voltammetry with glassy carbon working electrode (GC) and screen-printed carbon electrode (SPCE). Diffusion coefficients and heterogeneous electron transfer rate constants were determined with Randles-Sevcik and Nicholson-Lavagnini methods. Using SPCE. The average values of diffusion coefficient and transfer rate constant were respectively of 1.34 × 10−6 cm2 s−1 and 1.01 …
Straightforward access to water-soluble unsymmetrical sulfoxanthene dyes: application to the preparation of far-red fluorescent dyes with large stoke…
2014
An efficient synthesis of water-soluble unsymmetrical sulforhodamine/sulforhodol fluorophores containing a single julolidine fragment is presented. Owing to their valuable spectral properties in aqueous buffers, these dyes, especially those bearing a free aniline or phenol moiety, are valuable components of fluorogenic probes for a variety of biosensing applications. A further extension of this synthetic methodology to unusual phenols, namely 7-N,N-dialkylamino-4-hydroxy coumarins has enabled us to provide a new family water-soluble dyes of large Stokes’ shift with far-red spectral features.
Concept of dynamic DNA network dedicated to DNA-Protein interactions studies
2007
The approach lies on the development of an original DNA biosensor. This self-assembled DNA biochip is constituted of a tethered lipid membrane presenting « protein/DNA » complexes. This unique assembly, using a highly flexible bifunctional molecular spacer and a fluidic matrix, allows the control of oligonucleotides surface density and their mobility thus favouring hybridization of the DNA probes in liquid environment and under weak constraints. Recent Surface Plasmon Resonance experiments lead to building of protein/DNA dimers presenting two special DNA sequences recognized by regulation proteins. We demonstrated the capacity and relevance of this biosensor in the case of an estrogen recep…

This chapter reviews the emerging synthesis, characterization, and and discusses the perspectives and obstacles of these promising nano…
Specificity and Sensitivity Characterization of a Gallium Arsenide Resonant Bio-Sensor
2018
International audience; The characterization of the performances of a Gallium Arsenide (GaAs) based biosensor, in terms of sensitivity and specificity, is reported. The design of the sensor consists in a resonant membrane fabricated in GaAs crystal that operates at shear modes of bulk acoustic waves generated by lateral field excitation. The transducer element was fabricated by using typical clean room microfabrication techniques. The backside of the membrane is functionalized by a self-assembled monolayer (SAM) of alkanethiols to immobilize bio-receptors, which will allow the specific capture of the analyte of interest. The theoretical sensitivity of the sensor had been determined by model…
