A new method for rapid detection of dengue antigen based on microfluidic immune magnetic beads / 热带医学杂志

ABSTRACT

@# Abstract：Objective To establish a sensitive，rapid and convenient method for the detection of dengue antigen and assist clinical diagnosis of dengue. Methods In this paper，we developed a rapid detection method for dengue antigen based on microfluidic immune magnetic beads. Solidwork software was used to design microfluidic chip，which was prepared by mechanical processing and chemical sealing. Immunomagnetic beads of dengue antibody were prepared by chemical coupling reaction. Using HRP ⁃TMB ⁃H2O2 as color system，dengue NS1 antigen was detected on microfluidic chip carrier by double antibody sandwich method. Finally，57 clinical samples were tested by the novel method and traditional ELISA kit，and the accuracy of the method was analyzed，and the advantages and disadvantages of the two methods were compared. Results 20 minutes was needed to detect dengue NS1 antigen by using the novel ELISA method，and the reaction system only needed 10 μg beads and 10 μL samples. In the verification experiment，the method could distinguish the negative from the positive obviously. The positive sample had color rendering，while the negative and blank samples had no color rendering. In terms of detection performance，the coincidence rate between the new ELISA method and the traditional ELISA method reached 100%. Conclusion The novel ELISA detection platform had the advantages of simple，rapid，reagent and sample saving，high sensitivity，good stability and high accuracy，and could be used for the detection of dengue antigen.
