研究目的
To develop a generalizable surface chemistry using graphene oxide films that can be applied to diverse sensor materials, enabling functionalization and passivation while allowing transduction, and to demonstrate its utility in biosensing and cell growth applications.
研究成果
Graphene oxide films provide a versatile, thin, and conformal surface chemistry that can be applied to diverse sensor materials, enabling effective functionalization and passivation. They support multiple conjugation pathways, facilitate biosensing in complex matrices, and allow cell growth on otherwise inhospitable substrates. The films are robust, do not delaminate, and permit transduction in various sensor types, offering a general solution for sensor surface preparation.
研究不足
The study does not address long-term stability or degradation of graphene veils under various environmental conditions. The transfer process for some substrates might require optimization for industrial scalability. Additionally, the reduction of GO to pristine graphene for enhanced conductivity was mentioned but not extensively explored in all applications.
1：Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The study aimed to create thin, conformal graphene oxide (GO) films via spin coating and annealing, followed by functionalization with various chemistries for biosensing assays. Methods included the Hummers method for GO preparation, spin coating for film deposition, and amine or carboxyl-based conjugation pathways for biomolecule attachment.
2：Sample Selection and Data Sources:
Five diverse sensor substrates were used: silicon dioxide (SiO2), gallium nitride (GaN), indium arsenide (InAs), silicon nitride, and polystyrene. Biological samples included peptides, antibodies, proteins, DNA, and human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs).
3：List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
Equipment included spin coater, AFM for thickness measurement, Raman spectrometer for characterization, fluorescence microscope for cell imaging, and flow cells for fluidic force discrimination (FFD) assays. Materials included GO, ethylenediamine (EDA), crosslinkers (SFB, SANH, EDC, NHS), biomolecules (e.g., neutravidin, antibodies, DNA), and microbeads.
4：Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
GO was prepared and spin-coated onto substrates, annealed, and functionalized with EDA or directly with crosslinkers. Functionalized surfaces were used in immunoassays and DNA hybridization assays via FFD, which involved target capture, bead attachment, and fluidic washing. Cell growth studies involved sterilizing substrates, seeding hMSCs, and staining for viability.
5：Data Analysis Methods:
AFM and Raman spectroscopy were used for film characterization. FFD assay results were analyzed by counting captured beads optically or magnetically. Cell viability was assessed through fluorescence imaging and staining.
