    Summary

    We developed a simple method to detect prostate specific antigen (PSA) at low concentrations using magnetic beads and surface plasmon resonance (SPR). This rapid, sensitive, and specific detection method offers potential for low-cost point-of-care diagnostics.

    Area of Science:

    • Biomedical Engineering
    • Analytical Chemistry
    • Nanotechnology

    Background:

    • Prostate specific antigen (PSA) is a key biomarker for prostate cancer detection.
    • Existing methods for PSA detection can be time-consuming and complex.
    • There is a need for rapid, sensitive, and cost-effective PSA detection methods.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To develop a novel and simple method for detecting proteolytically-active prostate specific antigen (PSA) at very low concentrations.
    • To utilize surface plasmon resonance (SPR) for real-time optical characterization and monitoring of PSA samples.
    • To enable rapid, sensitive, and specific PSA detection for potential point-of-care applications.

    Main Methods:

    • A self-assembled monolayer (SAM) of magnetic beads conjugated with a peptide was constructed.
    • Surface plasmon resonance (SPR) was employed for real-time optical detection.
    • Detection was based on the shift in refractive index caused by enzymatic cleavage of the peptide and magnetic bead dissociation.

    Main Results:

    • The SPR sensor demonstrated high sensitivity (100 pg/ml) and specificity for PSA detection.
    • Rapid monitoring of PSA samples was achieved within minutes (few minutes to 30 min).
    • The method eliminates the need for washing, blocking, signal amplification, and labeling steps.

    Conclusions:

    • The developed SPR-based method offers a simple, rapid, and highly sensitive approach for PSA detection.
    • The elimination of complex steps and signal amplification via magnetic beads enhances efficiency.
    • This technology is amenable to miniaturization for low-cost point-of-care diagnostic devices.
