Area of Science:

  • Biomedical Engineering
  • Nanotechnology
  • Analytical Chemistry

Background:

  • Sarcosine is a metabolite found at elevated concentrations in urine with prostate cancer metastasis.
  • Accurate detection of sarcosine is crucial for early prostate cancer diagnosis and monitoring.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop novel reflectometric interference spectroscopy (RIfS) nanosensors for sarcosine detection.
  • To evaluate the performance and selectivity of the developed nanosensors.

Main Methods:

  • Preparation of sarcosine-imprinted nanoparticles via miniemulsion polymerization.
  • Characterization of nanoparticles using electron microscopy, dynamic light scattering, and atomic force microscopy.
  • Fabrication of RIfS nanosensors by immobilizing nanoparticles onto functionalized glass substrates.

Main Results:

  • The RIfS nanosensors demonstrated good linearity (R²=0.9622) for sarcosine detection.
  • A low detection limit of 45 nM was achieved for sarcosine.
  • The nanosensors exhibited selectivity, with minimal response to l-alanine.

Conclusions:

  • The developed RIfS nanosensors offer a promising tool for sensitive and selective sarcosine detection.
  • This technology has potential applications in non-invasive prostate cancer diagnostics using urine samples.
