Problems solved by technology

For graphene, if the sensor is only made of graphene, the reaction conditions cannot be well controlled
For example, graphene has very low biocompatibility, which affects its biorecognition process
On top of that, the selectivity and sensitivity of graphene sensors are limited

Embodiment 1

[0036] Embodiment 1 A kind of method for detecting endotoxin

[0037] 1) Fabrication of a microfluidic chip: In this embodiment, a PDMS (polydimethylsiloxane) microfluidic chip is used, which contains a Nafion membrane, and the Nafion membrane is perpendicular to the channel in the microfluidic chip. The specific fabrication process of the microfluidic chip is as follows:

[0038]Treat the silicon wafer with trimethylchlorosilane in a vacuum desiccator to avoid adhesion of PDMS to the silicon wafer mold. PDMS and curing agent are fully mixed at a weight ratio of 10:1, placed in a vacuum desiccator for vacuum degassing until the bubbles completely disappear, and then slowly poured on the silicon wafer to avoid bubbles. Then cure on a heating plate at 95°C for 2-3h, and then peel off the PDMS from the silicon wafer, so that the microstructure on the silicon wafer is transferred to the elastic PDMS, and holes are punched at the inlet and outlet . Then make Nafion membrane on t...

Abstract

The invention discloses a method for detecting endotoxin. The method comprises the following steps of performing incubation on a to-be-detected sample and a fluorescently-labeled LPS aptamer; then adding reduced graphene oxide and a TBE buffer solution, and performing incubation; adding the incubated sample into a sample inlet of a micro-fluidic chip, applying a voltage between the sample inlet and a sample outlet of the micro-fluidic chip to perform processing, arranging an anode at the sample inlet, and detecting the fluorescence intensity between a Nafion membrane channel and the anode after the voltage processing; and determining the content of LPS in the to-be-detected sample according to the fluorescence intensity and a standard curve. The method has a lowest detection limit of 8 fM,is wide in linear range, high in sensitivity, good in selectivity and relatively strong in anti-interference capability, and can rapidly distinguish gram-positive bacteria, gram-negative bacteria andfungi.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a method for detecting endotoxin. Background technique [0002] Endotoxin (LPS) is a highly toxic inflammatory stimulus that can interact with specific cell receptors to produce inflammatory cytokines that can lead to fever, sepsis, multiple organ failure and even death. Due to the possibility of severe immune reactions, the detection of LPS has become critical, especially for biological products such as injections, in order to ensure the safety of sterilized products. At present, the main method used for LPS detection is the limulus assay (LAL), which is widely used in many fields. [2] In recent years, there have been some studies on electrochemical and optical sensors based on LPS antibodies or aptamers, [3,4] They can specifically identify LPS and overcome some of the shortcomings of traditional methods. Aptamers are single-stranded oligonucleotides (ssRNA or ssDNA) with high specificity and high affinity for target bindi...
