Investigating the binding kinetics of small molecule analytes to larger ligands, such as proteins and antibodies, is a compelling task for the field of drug and biomarker development, as well as the food industry and agro-biotechnology. Here, we improve the limit of detection of the Interferometric Reflectance Imaging Sensor (IRIS), a label-free, highly multiplexed biosensor, to perform real-time affinity measurement of small molecules binding to immobilized antibodies in a microarray format. As the analytes bind to the surface probes, the biomass accumulation on the surface is quantified by measuring the optical reflectance from the layered Si/SiO2 chip through the solution, in a common-path interferometer configuration. As a proof of concept, label-free detection of biotin molecules binding to immobilized streptavidin probes is performed, achieving 1 pg/mm2 sensitivity through signal averaging in a shot noise limited operation. Furthermore, we apply the optimized sensor to the screening of a 20-multiplexed antibody chip (MW~150 kDa ligands) against Fumonisin B1 (MW = 721.8 Da), one of the most prevalent mycotoxins found in many cereal grains such as corn and wheat. The simultaneously recorded binding curves of the toxin to the multiplexed sensor yield a signal-to-noise ratio of ≈8 when noise reduction methods of spatial and temporal averaging are utilized.

AbstractQuantification of molecular interactions on a surface is typically achieved via label-free techniques such as surface plasmon resonance (SPR). The sensitivity of SPR originates from the characteristic that the SPR angle is sensitive to the surface refractive index change. Analogously, in another interfacial optical phenomenon, total internal reflection, the critical angle is also refractive index dependent. Therefore, surface refractive index change can also be quantified by measuring the reflectivity near the critical angle. Based on this concept, we develop a method called critical angle reflection (CAR) imaging to quantify molecular interactions on glass surface. CAR imaging can be performed on SPR imaging setups. Through a side-by-side comparison, we show that CAR is capable of most molecular interaction measurements that SPR performs, including proteins, nucleic acids and cell-based detections. In addition, we show that CAR can detect small molecule bindings and intracellular signals beyond SPR sensing range. CAR exhibits several distinct characteristics, including tunable sensitivity and dynamic range, deeper vertical sensing range, fluorescence compatibility, broader wavelength and polarization of light selection, and glass surface chemistry. We anticipate CAR can expand SPR′s capability in small molecule detection, whole cell-based detection, simultaneous fluorescence imaging, and broader conjugation chemistry.
