On-Chip Immunoassay for Determination of Urinary Albumin
نویسندگان
چکیده
An immunoassay performed on a portable microfluidic device was evaluated for the determination of urinary albumin. An increase in absorbance at 500 nm resulting from immunoagglutination was monitored directly on the poly(dimethylsiloxane) (PDMS) microchip using a portable miniature fibre-optic spectrometer. A calibration curve was linear up to 10 mg L(-1) (r(2) = 0.993), with a detection limit of 0.81 mg L(-1) (S/N = 3). The proposed system showed good precision, with relative standard deviations (RSDs) of 5.1%, when evaluated with 10 mg L(-1) albumin (n = 10). Determination of urinary albumin with the proposed system gave results highly similar to those determined by the conventional spectrophotometric method using immunoturbidimetric detection (r(2) = 0.995; n = 15).

Aflatoxins are a group of fungal toxic metabolites, which are contaminated certain food commodities. ELISA is one of the sensitive methods for detection of aflatoxins. Preparation and stabilizing of a proper conjugated tracer for detection of aflatoxins is probably the main step for designing an ELISA method. In current study, different stabilizers were applied to stabilize a newly prepared con...

A new non isotopic immunoassay based on latex particle agglutination has been developed for the determination of albumin in urine. The assay consists in incubating the urine sample for 30 min at 37 degrees C with latex particles coated with a specific antibody, followed by quantification of the resulting agglutination by particle counting or turbidimetry. The stability of antibody-coated partic...

A simple, specific and sensitive sequential injection analysis (SIA) system based on non-immunoassay fluorescent detection has been developed for the determination of urinary albumin. The specific binding of the dye Albumin Blue 580 (AB 580) to albumin in urine generated high emission fluorescent signals. The excitation and emission wavelengths were set at 590 and 610 nm, respectively. The anal...
