Summary
This study introduces an acoustofluidic-magnetic relaxation biosensing platform for rapid Salmonella detection. The novel system enhances pathogen capture and signal stability, achieving a low limit of detection in complex samples.
Area of Science:
- Biomedical Engineering
- Biosensing Technology
- Food Safety
Background:
- Accurate pathogen detection is crucial for public health and food safety.
- Complex sample matrices pose challenges for traditional biosensing methods.
- Existing techniques often struggle with sample handling and signal stability.
Purpose of the Study:
- To develop an integrated acoustofluidic-magnetic relaxation biosensing (MRB) platform for Salmonella detection.
- To improve Salmonella capture efficiency and signal stability in complex suspensions.
- To enable rapid, sensitive, and specific pathogen quantification.
Main Methods:
- Utilized acoustofluidics for convective mixing and selective retention of Salmonella-immunomagnetic nanobead (IMNB) complexes.
- Employed an oscillation-assisted magnetic relaxation system to stabilize signal readout.
- Integrated sample handling and detection into a single platform.
Main Results:
- Achieved a linear response for Salmonella detection from 4.8 × 10^1 to 4.8 × 10^5 CFU/mL.
- Established a limit of detection of 29 CFU/mL with a total assay time of approximately 40 minutes.
- Demonstrated good specificity and high recovery rates (92.68-103.95%) in spiked chicken samples.
Conclusions:
- The developed acoustofluidic-MRB platform offers a promising solution for reliable and quantitative Salmonella detection.
- Acoustofluidic manipulation effectively restructures suspension composition for enhanced biosensing.
- The platform shows potential for real-world applications in food safety analysis.
