Screen‐printed biosensor for allergens

Allergen levels in indoor environments, leading to many diseases, eg asthma, rhinitis and conjunctivitis, affect a large and increasing fraction of the population. A quite effective and inexpensive method of a rough but very rapid overall assessment of total allergen level in the environment has been developed. The method involved estimation of protein in allergen extracts by screen‐printed electrodes using two different techniques. The biosensor comprised a rhodinised carbon working electrode, a silver/silver chloride reference electrode and a carbon counter electrode. In the first method the enzyme protease reacted with allergen protein to release amino acid, which produced hydrogen peroxide in the presence of amino acid oxidase. This was detected amperometrically. The second method used potassium bromide as electrolyte and the electrode was subjected to dual potential. Bromine, released due to electrolysis at higher potential, was consumed by the allergen protein at lower potential. In the first method, a unique technique was used to microencapsulate the enzyme protease and immobilise it on the surface of the electrode by in‐situ polymerisation to avoid contact with the amino acid oxidase. A total of seven allergens were tested and the results gave a good correlation with the standard protein measurement method. Environmental specimens from indoors, schools and workplaces can be evaluated for the aeroallergens produced by dust mites, animal hairs, cockroach debris, pollens, etc as a means of determining the exposure risk.

Electrochemical DNA biosensor for the detection of interaction between di[azino-di(5,6-azafluorene)-κ-NN′]dichlormanganous and DNA

A new Mn(II) complex of MnL₂Cl₂ (L = azino-di(5,6-azafluorene)-κ²-NN′) was synthesized and utilized as an electrochemical indicator for the determination of hepatitis B virus (HBV) based on its interaction with MnL₂Cl₂. The electrochemical behavior of interaction of MnL₂Cl₂ with salmon sperm DNA was investigated on glassy carbon electrode (GCE). In the presence of salmon sperm DNA, the peak current of [MnL₂]²⁺ was decreased and the peak potential was shifted positively without appearance of new peaks. The binding ratio between [MnL₂]²⁺ and salmon sperm DNA was calculated to be 2:1 and the binding constant was 3.72 × 10⁸ mol² L⁻². The extent of hybridization was evaluated on the basis of the difference between signals of [MnL₂]²⁺ with probe DNA before and after hybridization with complementary sequence. Control experiments performed with non-complementary and mismatch sequence demonstrated the good selectivity of the biosensor. With this approach, a sequence of the HBV could be quantified over the range from 1.76 × 10⁻⁸ to 1.07 × 10⁻⁶ mol L⁻¹, with a linear correlation of r = 0.9904 and a detection limit of 6.80 × 10⁻⁹ mol L⁻¹. Additionally, the binding mechanism was preliminarily discussed. The mode of interaction between MnL₂Cl₂ and DNA was found to be primary intercalation binding.
