Abstract

In this paper, we present the preliminary results of an ELISA-on-chip device, intended as a technological demonstrator of a novel analytical system suitable for the diagnosis and follow-up of celiac disease. The idea of the work is to combine an array of amorphous silicon photosensors with a pattern of a poly(2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate) polymer brush film, which acts as anchor for the immobilization of gliadin peptides containing the celiac disease epitopes. Recognition relies on a sandwich immunoassay between antibodies against the peptides and secondary antibodies marked with horseradish peroxidase to obtain a chemiluminescent signal. Detection is based on the measurement of photocurrent induced in the array of amorphous silicon photosensors by the chemiluminescent signal. An ad-hoc procedure has been developed in order to enable the fabrication of the photodiode array and the polymer brush pattern on the two sides of the same glass substrate ensuring the compatibility of the differ

In this work we show the functionalization of the interior of microfluidic glass chips with poly(2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate) polymer brushes as anchors for co-immobilization of the enzymes glucose-oxidase and horseradish peroxidase. The formation of the brush layer and subsequent immobilization of these enzymes have been characterized on flat surfaces by atomic force microscopy and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, and studied inside glass chips by field emission scanning microscopy. Enzyme-functionalized glass chips have been applied for performing a multi-enzymatic cascade reaction for the fast (20 s) determination of glucose in human blood samples and the result is in excellent agreement with values obtained from the conventional hospital laboratory. The limit of detection of this bi-enzymatic method is 60 mu M. With the advantages of high selectivity and reproducibility, this functionalization method can be used for improving the efficiency of glucose sensors.
