A novel dual-analyte detection system uses capillary immunosensors for sensitive explosive detection of 2,4,6-trinitrotoluene (TNT) and hexahydro-1,3,5-trinitro-1,3,5-triazine (RDX). This rapid assay achieves low detection limits for both explosives in under three minutes.

Area of Science:

  • Analytical Chemistry
  • Biosensor Technology
  • Chemical Sensing

Background:

  • Explosive detection remains critical for security applications.
  • Existing detection methods often lack sensitivity or speed.
  • Need for rapid, simultaneous detection of multiple explosive compounds.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a highly sensitive, dual-analyte detection system for explosives.
  • To integrate capillary-based immunosensors for simultaneous detection of TNT and RDX.
  • To establish a rapid and efficient assay for explosive identification.

Main Methods:

  • Designed a dual-capillary immunosensor system coated with anti-TNT and anti-RDX antibodies.
  • Immobilized antibodies on silanized fused silica capillaries using a hetero-bifunctional crosslinker.

  • Employed a competitive assay format where analytes displace a fluorophore-labeled antigen.
  • Detected displaced antigen using portable spectrofluorometers for real-time analysis.

    • Main Results:

    • Achieved limits of detection of 44 fmol for 2,4,6-trinitrotoluene (TNT).
    • Achieved limits of detection of 224 fmol for hexahydro-1,3,5-trinitro-1,3,5-triazine (RDX).
    • Demonstrated successful simultaneous detection of both explosives in a mixture.
    • Completed the entire assay for both analytes in less than 3 minutes.

    Conclusions:

    • The developed capillary-based immunosensor system offers high sensitivity and speed for dual-analyte explosive detection.
    • This technology provides a promising platform for rapid security screening and threat detection.
    • The system's efficiency and low detection limits highlight its potential for practical applications.
