Abstract [en]

We demonstrate detection of DNA coils formed from a Vibrio cholerae DNA target at picomolar concentrations using a novel optomagnetic approach exploiting the dynamic behavior and optical anisotropy of magnetic nanobead (MNB) assemblies. We establish that the complex second harmonic optical transmission spectra of MNB suspensions measured upon application of a weak uniaxial AC magnetic field correlate well with the rotation dynamics of the individual MNBs. Adding a target analyte to the solution leads to the formation of permanent MNB clusters, namely, to the suppression of the dynamic MNB behavior. We prove that the optical transmission spectra are highly sensitive to the formation of permanent MNB clusters and, thereby to the target analyte concentration. As a specific clinically relevant diagnostic case, we detect DNA coils formed via padlock probe recognition and isothermal rolling circle amplification and benchmark against a commercial equipment. The results demonstrate the fast optomagnetic readout of rolling circle products from bacterial DNA utilizing the dynamic properties of MNBs in a miniaturized and low-cost platform requiring only a transparent window in the chip.

Abstract [en]

In this thesis, three different read-out techniques for biomolecular recognition have been studied. All three techniques rely on the change in dynamic behaviour of probe functionalised magnetic beads after binding to a biomolecular target complementary to the probe.

In the first technique presented, the sample is exposed to an AC magnetic field while the response to this field is probed using a laser source and a photodetector positioned at opposite sides of the sample. Beads bound to the target entity will experience an increase in their hydrodynamic volume, and will not be able to respond as rapidly to an alternating field as free beads. Here, the target entity is either DNA coils formed by rolling circle amplification or biotinylated bovine serum albumin (bBSA). The change in dynamic behaviour is measured as a frequency dependent modulation of transmitted light. Limit of detections (LODs) of 5 pM DNA coils originating from a V. cholerae target and 100 pM of bBSA have been achieved.

In the second technique presented, the beads are magnetically transported across a probe functionalised detection area on a microchip. Beads bound to a target will be blocked from interaction with the detection area probes, whereas in the absence of a target, beads will be immobilised on the detection area. The LOD of biotin for this system proved to be in the range of 20 to 50 ng/ml.

In the third technique presented, the sample is microfluidically transported to a detection area on a microchip. The read-out is performed using a planar Hall effect bridge sensor. A sinusoidal current is applied to the bridge in one direction and the sensor output voltage is measured across the sensor in the perpendicular direction. The AC current induced bead magnetisation contributing to the sensor output will appear different for free beads compared to beads bound to a target. LODs of 500 B. globigii spores and 2 pM of V. cholerae DNA coils were achieved.

From a lab-on-a-chip point of view, all three techniques considered in this thesis show promising results with regards to sensitivity and integrability.
