Title: | Impedimetric Immunosensors Based on the Conjugated Polymer PPV | Authors: | COOREMAN, Peter THOELEN, Ronald MANCA, Jean VAN DE VEN, Martin VERMEEREN, Veronique MICHIELS, Luc AMELOOT, Marcel WAGNER, Patrick |
Issue Date: | 2005 | Publisher: | ELSEVIER ADVANCED TECHNOLOGY | Source: | Biosensors and Bioelectronics, 20(10). p. 2151-2156 | Abstract: | In the work reported here, we investigated the interaction between the semiconducting polymer MDMO-PPV and antibodies against the fluorescent dyes FITC and Cy5. The antibodies are adsorbed physically onto thin polymer films on gold electrodes, as seen in AFM images of these films. By tuning the antibody concentration, the contact angle of distilled water with the film can be made to vary between 95° and 50°, showing that different surface densities of antibody can be obtained. That these biosensor films specifically bind their antigenic fluorescent molecules from PBS buffer solution is demonstrated by confocal fluorescence microscopy. Specific antigen-antibody recognition is demonstrated by lack of crosssensitivity between the two antibodies and their antigens. In a biosensor prototype based on differential impedance spectroscopy, these polymer films show a clear response to 1 ppb antigen solution, with a time constant of 2 to 3 minutes. | Keywords: | Biosensors | Document URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/1942/907 | ISSN: | 0956-5663 | e-ISSN: | 1873-4235 | DOI: | 10.1016/j.bios.2004.08.029 | ISI #: | 000227845700036 | Category: | A1 | Type: | Journal Contribution | Validations: | ecoom 2006 |
