2.5. Colorimetric detection of S. aureus using the selective filtration system
The assay procedure for the colorimetric detection of the target pathogen is illustrated in Fig. 2. After following the same thawing and washing steps mentioned in Section 2.4, the serial dilutions of S. aureus ranging from 1.5×104 to 1.5×108 CFU/mL were prepared in PBS, and 10 μL of each dilution was added to 90 μL of PBS or the milk. 10 μL of the pure sample or the inoculated milk sample was then mixed with 20 μL of the antibody/AuNP/MNP nanocomposites in 70 μL of PBS. The same amount of the nanocomposites was added to 80 μL of PBS as a negative control. A 30-min incubation of the mixture at RT with 130 rpm shake was followed by a 5-min magnetic separation of the captured cells from the medium. The resulting pellet was finally re-suspended in 100 μL of PBS. In the meantime, the CA membrane filter with 0.8 μm diameter pores was wetted in PBS for 5 min before being placed on a 100 mL Erlenmeyer flask equipped with a filter. A PDMS film with 3 mm diameter holes (7 or 8 on each film) was then put on the membrane to define the filtration locations. Subsequently, 50 μL of the re-suspended bacteria-antibody/AuNP/MNP complexes was pipetted into the PDMS hole where the solution was filtered through the membrane under the vacuum pressure. While the unbound nanoparticles, which have much smaller diameter than the membrane pores, could easily pass through the filter, large S. aureus-bound antibody/AuNP/MNP nanocomposites could not penetrate through the pores and consequently remained on the membrane surface, resulting in a colored spot. Any unbound nanocomposites non-specifically adhering to the membrane was washed away by flowing 50 μL of PBS through each PDMS hole. The remaining particles on the membrane surface were reacted with 5 μL of the gold enhancement solution (5 mM hydroxylamine and 25 mM HAuCl4 in 10 mM citrate buffer at pH 4.0) to intensify the color signal, and 10 μL of PBS was added to each hole after 1 min to stop the reaction. The color intensities from three replicates for each target bacteria concentration were quantified and averaged using a digital camera and ImageJ (Wayne Rasband, National Institute of Health, USA; http://rsb.info.nih.gov/ij) that converted the color signal to the optical density.
