Area of Science:

  • Analytical Chemistry
  • Biotechnology
  • Materials Science

Background:

  • Abrin is a highly toxic protein requiring sensitive detection methods.
  • Existing detection methods for abrin often lack sensitivity, quantitation, or are complex and costly.
  • Surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) offers high sensitivity for molecular detection.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To design and demonstrate a capillary-driven SERS-based microfluidic chip for abrin detection.
  • To evaluate the chip's performance in terms of sensitivity, linearity, and limit of detection.
  • To compare the chip's capabilities with conventional lateral flow test strips.

Main Methods:

  • Fabrication of a micropillar array substrate using microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) processes.
  • Coating the substrate with a gold film for SERS enhancement.
  • Integration of the SERS substrate into a lateral flow test strip.
  • Detection of various abrin concentrations using the microfluidic chip.

Main Results:

  • Linear correlation between abrin concentration and SERS signal observed from 0.1 ng/mL to 1 μg/mL.
  • Achieved a limit of detection of 0.1 ng/mL for abrin.
  • Demonstrated enhanced operability, reduced complexity, and lower cost compared to previous SERS methods.
  • Outperformed conventional lateral flow test strips in sensitivity and quantitation.

Conclusions:

  • The capillary-driven SERS microfluidic chip is a viable tool for sensitive and quantitative abrin detection.
  • This technology offers significant advantages over conventional methods for abrin analysis.
  • The chip shows great potential for clinical diagnosis of abrin poisoning and rapid on-site screening applications.
