Abstract

Nowadays, biosensor technologies which can detect various contaminants in water quickly and cost-effectively are in great demand.Herein, we report an integrated channel waveguide-based fluorescent immunosensor with the ability to detect a maximum of 32 contaminants rapidly and simultaneously. In particular, we use waveguide tapers to improve the efficiency of excitation and collection of fluorescent signals in the presence of fluorophore photobleaching in a solid surface bioassay. Under the optimized waveguide geometry, this is the first demonstration of using such a type of waveguide immunosensor for the detection of microcystin-LR (MC-LR) in lake water. The waveguide chip was
22 activated by (3-Mercaptopropyl)23 trimethoxysilane/N-(4-maleimidobutyryloxy) succinimide (MTS/GMBS) for immobilization of BSA-MC-LR conjugate, which was confirmed to have uniform monolayer distribution by atomic force microscopy. All real lake samples, even those containing MC-LR in the sub-microgram per liter range (e.g. 0.5 μg/L), could be determined by the immunosensor with recovery rates between 84% and 108%, confirming its application potential in the measurement of MC-LR in real water samples.
