Abstract: A waveguide surface plasmon resonance biosensor, equipped with low-index glass waveguides and a 10 mW He-Ne laser (632.8 nm), was evaluated for determining simazine in natural waters. The interaction length (3 mm) of the biosensor was coated with a Au film (53±3 mm thickness) and a triazine derivative, 4-chloro-6-(isopropylamino)-1,3,5-triazine-2-(6'-amino)caproic acid. The biosensor was incorporated into a FIA system and PBS of pH 7.4 was used as the carrier stream. The assays were carried out by incubating the buffered sample with simazine antibodies for 5 min. A portion (100 µL) of the solution was injected into the FIA system and the carrier stream flow was stopped for 8 min when the sample plug reacted the detector cell to allow the free antibodies to react with the immobilized triazine derivative. After recording the signal the biosensor was regenerated by pumping 2 g/l pepsin in PBS of pH 1.9 and 1% propionic acid in aqueous 50% acetonitrile. The system was calibrated for up to 100 µg/l simazine, the detection limit was 0.2 µg/l and the day-to-day RSD (n = 5) were The cross reactivities of atrazine and terbutylazine were 61% and 62%, respectively. The method was applied to surface and ground water samples and the results were confirmed by chromatographic analysis. The method was not suitable for analyzing soil water samples due to the strong non-selective polyanion-polycation binding to the transducer surface.

"Determination Of Sulfamethazine Residues In Milk By A Surface Plasmon Resonance-based Biosensor Assay"

Abstract: The use of antibiotics and chemotherapeutics in animal husbandry has led to the occurrence of veterinary drug residues in all types of food of animal origin. Due to the specification of toxicologically based maximum residue levels for a large number of substances, existing control strategies need even faster and more sensitive methods to meet new and more rigorous regulations. The applicability of an immunosensor device for biospecific interaction analysis was investigated and the development of an assay for analysis of sulfamethazine (SMZ) in milk is described. SMZ was covalently immobilized to a carboxymethyldextran-modified gold film. Spiked samples with known concentrations of SMZ were prepared in HBS buffer and skim and raw milk for construction of standard curves. Polyclonal antibodies against SMZ were added to the sample and the immobilized surface was used to determine the amount of free antibodies by surface plasmon resonance detection. After each measurement the surface was regenerated by NaOH and HCl. In milk, the mean relative standard deviation of the assay was approximately 2% and the limit of detection less than 1 ppb. By introduction of a secondary sheep anti-rabbit antibody, the use of specific antibody could be reduced. Milk samples from the individual cow, herd, and tanker levels were analyzed and the relative standard deviations within each sample category were 4.4, 2.4, and 2.2%, respectively. The effect of some potential interferences, e.g., high somatic cells, bacterial contamination, and preservatives, was investigated. The results were not influenced in such a way that the risk for so-called false-positive findings was obvious.

Abstract: In order to realize immediate detection of a double stranded DNA amplified by Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR), we applied Peptide Nucleic Acid (PNA) to the probe of DNA detection system using Surface Plasmon Resonance (SPR). We report our success in immediate detection of PCR products solution with high sequence-specificity.
