Enhanced fluorescence detection of proteins using ZnO nanowires integrated inside microfluidic chips
چکیده انگلیسی


- A highly sensitive ZnO nanowire based fluorescence detection was developed on chip.
- Controllable in situ synthesis of ZnO nanowires was implemented inside microchannels.
- Such a synthesis and detection device is highly valuable to biomedical detection.

Nanostructure-enhanced detection is promising for a number of applications such as early cancer diagnosis, environmental monitoring and mine safety, among which nanostructures integrated microfluidic chips offers unique advantage of ultra-low quantitative analyses. Here, dense ZnO nanowires of varied diameter and length were obtained by changing the content of polyethyleneimine (PEI) and growth time via simple hydrothermal growth in microfluidic channels for protein detection. We showed that this approach was superiorly efficient compared to the conventional hydrothermal method due to the flow-induced replenishment of nutrient and the effect of shear stress. When immobilizing FITC conjugated anti-bovine immunoglobulin G (IgG) on ZnO nanowires, the fluorescence emission was significantly amplified compared to glass substrate and ZnO seed layer. Under the different growth conditions, the most remarkable fluorescence enhancement was observed on the ZnO nanowire substrate grown for 3 h with 5 mM PEI in solution. It is ascribed not only to the increase of the binding surface area of proteins but also the intrinsic fluorescence enhancement of ZnO nanowires as waveguides. We further used the optimized ZnO nanowires to demonstrate multiple detection of cancer biomarkers, achieving a superior limit of detection (LOD) as low as 1 pg/mL in human α-fetoprotein (AFP) assay and 100 fg/mL in carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) assay with large dynamic range of 6-7 orders, which suggests that ZnO nanowire integrated microfluidic chips are promising for high-throughput fluorescence-based diagnostic assays.
