    Plasmonic sensor platforms are designed for rapid, label-free, and real-time detection and they excel as the next generation biosensors. However, current methods such as Surface Plasmon Resonance require expertise and well-equipped laboratory facilities. Simpler methods such as Localized Surface Plasmon Resonance (LSPR) overcome those limitations, though they lack sensitivity. Hence, sensitivity enhancement plays a crucial role in the future of plasmonic sensor platforms. Herein, a refractive index (RI) sensitivity enhancement methodology is reported utilizing growth of gold nanoparticles (GNPs) on solid support and it is backed up with artificial neural network (ANN) analysis. Sensor platform fabrication was initiated with GNP immobilization onto solid support; immobilized GNPs were then used as seeds for chrono-spectral growth, which was carried out using NH2OH at varied incubation times. The response to RI change of the platform was investigated with varied concentrations of sucrose and ethanol. The detection of bacteria E.coli BL21 was carried out for validation as a model microorganism and results showed that detection was possible at 102 CFU/ml. The data acquired by spectrophotometric measurements were analyzed by ANN and bacteria classification with percentage error rates near 0% was achieved. The proposed LSPR-based, label-free sensor application proved that the developed methodology promises utile sensitivity enhancement potential for similar sensor platforms. © 2024 The Author(s)

    Salivary Biomarkers: Novel Noninvasive Tools To Diagnose Chronic Inflammation
    (Springer, 2023) Dongiovanni, Paola; Kehr, Nermin Seda; Casati, Sara; Goldoni, Riccardo; Thomaz, Douglas Vieira; Kehr, Nermin Seda; Galimberti, Daniela; 04.01. Department of Chemistry; 04. Faculty of Science; 01. Izmir Institute of Technology
    Several chronic disorders including type 2 diabetes (T2D), obesity, heart disease and cancer are preceded by a state of chronic low-grade inflammation. Biomarkers for the early assessment of chronic disorders encompass acute phase proteins (APP), cytokines and chemokines, pro-inflammatory enzymes, lipids and oxidative stress mediators. These substances enter saliva through the blood flow and, in some cases, there is a close relation between their salivary and serum concentration. Saliva can be easily collected and stored with non-invasive and cost-saving procedures, and it is emerging the concept to use it for the detection of inflammatory biomarkers. To this purpose, the present review aims to discuss the advantages and challenges of using standard and cutting-edge techniques to discover salivary biomarkers which may be used in diagnosis/therapy of several chronic diseases with inflammatory consequences with the pursuit to possibly replace conventional paths with detectable soluble mediators in saliva. Specifically, the review describes the procedures used for saliva collection, the standard approaches for the measurement of salivary biomarkers and the novel methodological strategies such as biosensors to improve the quality of care for chronically affected patients.

    Polyglycolide-Montmorillonite as a Novel Nanocomposite Platform for Biosensing Applications
    (Royal Society of Chemistry, 2017) Ünal, Betül; Yalçınkaya, Esra Evrim; Gümüştaş, Sıla; Sönmez, Burak; Özkan, Melek; Balcan, Mehmet; Odacı Demirkol, Dilek; Timur, Suna; 01. Izmir Institute of Technology
    In catalytic biosensors, the immobilization of biomolecules in a suitable matrix is one of the vital parameters for obtaining improved systems. Clays, which are intercalated with various organic compounds, have a great tendency to develop biosensors with high stability, sensitivity and reproducibility. Herein, a polymer/clay nanocomposite based on natural silicate montmorilonite (Mt) and a biodegradable polymer polyglycolide (PGA) was prepared and characterized by FT-IR, thermogravimetric analysis, differential thermogravimetric analysis and X-ray diffraction. Then, the resulting matrix was used as a fixation matrix for pyranose oxidase (POx), which was selected as a model enzyme. The bioactive layer was fabricated by immobilization of POx on glassy carbon electrodes by means of PGA-Mt and bovine serum albumin. The POx biosensor revealed a good linear range from 0.01 to 0.5 mM glucose with a LOD of 1.2 μM. After the optimization of the working and preparation conditions, characterization studies were performed for glucose detection. Finally, the PGA-Mt/POx biosensor was confirmed to have detected glucose in beverages without needing any sample pre-treatment.
