These nanoparticles have shown several unique advantages over existing dye molecules, quantum dots, and latex-based fluorescent particles in easy preparation, good photostability and high sensitivity. A high molar ratio of the fluorescent molecules present in the core to biomolecules on the particle surface was achieved by using the well-developed silica surface immobilization chemistry for biomolecular linking. A fluoroimmunoassay method for detecting trace level Hepatitis B Surface Antigen (HBsAg) was developed. The calibration graph for HBsAg was linear over the range 0.5-220ng/ml with a detection limit of 0.1ng/ml. The sensitivity is greatly increased when compared with the corresponding immunoassay performed with direct fluorophore labeling. The present work shows that these FHS nanoparticles are high-quality markers for biochemical assays. |
