研究目的
Investigating the use of crossed surface relief gratings (CSRGs) for surface plasmon resonance imaging (SPRi) to enable rapid, label-free detection of pathogenic bacteria in situ.
研究成果
The CSRG-based SPRi platform offers a novel, sensitive, and rapid method for detecting pathogenic bacteria, with potential for integration into portable devices for in situ applications.
研究不足
The study is limited to the detection of UPEC and may require further validation with other pathogenic bacteria. The platform's integration with portable electronics is promising but needs real-world testing.
1:Experimental Design and Method Selection
The study employs CSRGs for SPRi-based biosensing, utilizing a fully integrated platform with optics and electronics. FDTD simulations were used to model the plasmonic response.
2:Sample Selection and Data Sources
Uropathogenic E. coli (UPEC) in PBS and human urine samples were used to test the platform's detection capabilities.
3:List of Experimental Equipment and Materials
Includes a red LED, CMOS photodetector, Raspberry Pi unit, PDMS chamber, and aqueous sucrose solutions for bulk refractive index testing.
4:Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow
The platform's sensitivity was tested with sucrose solutions, followed by UPEC detection in PBS and human urine. The process involved surface modification with antibodies and real-time monitoring of bacterial binding.
5:Data Analysis Methods
Transmitted images were analyzed using Fiji image processing software. Sensitivity, resolution, and signal-to-noise ratio were calculated based on the intensity changes.
