Article Citation - WoS: 32Citation - Scopus: 32Luminescent Device for the Detection of Oxidative Stress Biomarkers in Artificial Urine(American Chemical Society, 2018) Ammanath, Gopal; Yıldız, Ümit Hakan; Palaniappan, Alagappan; Liedberg, BoA luminescent paper-based device for the visual detection of oxidative stress biomarkers is reported. The device consists of a polyvinylidene fluoride membrane impregnated with poly(3-alkoxy-4-methylthiophene) (PT) for colorimetric detection. 8-hydroxy-2′-deoxyguanosine (8-OHdG), a biomarker associated with oxidative stress, is used as a model system for validating the proposed methodology. The detection strategy is based on monitoring the changes in optical properties of PT associated with its conformational changes upon interaction with an aptamer in the presence and in the absence of 8-OHdG. Fluorometric and colorimetric monitoring revealed linear responses for 8-OHdG concentrations between 50 pM and 500 nM (∼14 pg/mL to 140 ng/mL), with limits of detection of ∼300 pM and ∼350 pM, respectively for (n = 3). Colorimetric responses in artificial urine ascertained rapid, sensitive, and selective detection of 8-OHdG at clinically relevant (pM to nM) concentration levels. Furthermore, the proposed methodology enables point-of-care diagnostics for oxidative stress without requiring sophisticated instrumentation.Article Citation - WoS: 44Citation - Scopus: 53Smart Phone Assisted Detection and Quantification of Cyanide in Drinking Water by Paper Based Sensing Platform(Elsevier Ltd., 2017) İncel, Anıl; Akın, Osman; Çağır, Ali; Yıldız, Ümit Hakan; Demir, Mustafa MuammerAn organometallic dye, europium tetrakis dibenzoylmethide triethylammonium (EuD4TEA) and gold nanoparticles (Au NPs) impregnated paper based sensor platform have been utilized for development of fluorescence turn-on cyanide assay in aqueous media. The ordinary filter paper with 6 μ m pore size were employed as solid support that facilitates impregnation of EuD4TEA and gold nanoparticles and provides durability. Detection mechanism relying on two processes (i) dissolution of gold nanoparticles causing fluorescence recovery and (ii) ligand exchange of triethyl amine with CN group stimulating cyanide specific fluorescence enhancement. The paper platform exhibit naked eye distinguishable color transition upon CN− addition from 10−2 to 10−12 M. To standardize the methodology a homemade image processing algorithm has been developed that enabling calibration of color change and quantify CN− concentration. The described algorithm is applicable to Android smart phones and facilitate transforming these devices into a quantitative cyanide detector. The overall methodology provides instrument free cyanide detection and therefore rapid control of water quality and safety at off-field conditions.Article Citation - WoS: 19Citation - Scopus: 19Visual Detection of Al3+ Ions Using Conjugated Copolymer-Atp Supramolecular Complex(Elsevier Ltd., 2016) Tu, Meng-Che; Rajwar, Deepa; Ammanath, Gopal; Alagappan, Palaniappan; Yıldız, Ümit Hakan; Liedberg, BoA colorimetric Al3+ sensor based on fluorescence recovery of a conjugated copolymer-ATP complex is proposed. An optimized ratio of two polythiophene (PT) monomers is utilized to synthesize copolymer (CP) that yielded maximized colorimetric response for Al3+ in deionized (DI) and tap water. The electrostatic disassembly of CP-ATP upon addition of Al3+ led to an evident visual color change. The lowest concentration of Al3+ for naked eye observation is around 4 μM, which is below the threshold levels in drinking water according to European Economic Community (EEC) standard. Besides, the proposed assay showed a similar response to Al3+ in tap water. The proposed methodology showed selective and sensitive detection for Al3+ in analytically relevant concentration ranges without involving sophisticated instrumentation, illustrating the applicability for on-site drinking water monitoring.
