Abstract
As a major threat to food safety due to their pathogenicity, foodborne bacteria have received much attention. In this paper, we present a one-step and wash-free microfluidic biosensor platform by smartphone for simultaneous multiple foodborne bacteria target single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) detection. This technology is based on the fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) between the graphene oxide (GO) and fluorescence molecules modified capture ssDNA of the target bacteria ssDNA (ctDNA) which were coated on the microfluidic chips. The fluorescence recovery was recorded by a smartphone fluorescent detector. With an optimal analytical performance, the platform realized the detection of four kinds of bacteria ssDNA simultaneously within 5 min, with the limits of detection (LODs) of 0.17, 0.18, 0.27, and 0.17 nM, respectively. And the throughput analysis of trace amounts of foodborne bacteria ssDNA in milk and water samples were successfully detected. This one-step and wash-free microfluidic biosensor can be used as a tool for food safety analysis.
