Area of Science:

  • Biophysics
  • Analytical Chemistry
  • Nanotechnology

Background:

  • Holographic microscopy offers label-free detection of nanoscale changes.
  • Quantifying molecular binding requires accurate measurement of analyte concentration.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a multicomponent holographic binding assay for simultaneous, label-free detection of analytes.
  • To introduce inert reference beads for improved accuracy and reproducibility in holographic assays.
  • To establish a general method for characterizing polymer brush coatings on reference beads.

Main Methods:

  • Utilizing holographic microscopy to monitor nanometer-scale diameter changes in colloidal probe beads upon macromolecular binding.
  • Applying Maxwell Garnett effective-medium theory to interpret bead diameter changes and infer analyte concentration.
  • Employing functionalized probe beads and inert reference beads for simultaneous, multicomponent, and label-free binding assays.

Main Results:

  • Demonstrated a multicomponent assay for immunoglobulin G (IgG) with consistent results using internal negative controls.
  • Validated negative controls using alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH) to confirm specificity.
  • Introduced inert reference beads for quantitative holographic microscopy and characterized their polymer brush coating, yielding specific volume for poly(ethylene oxide).

Conclusions:

  • Simultaneous independent holographic binding assays provide a robust platform for multiplexed testing.
  • The developed method enhances accuracy and reproducibility in molecular binding detection.
  • This approach can be generalized for various analyte detection and characterization applications.
