Compared to traditional 2D biochips, 3D biochips offer higher probe density and detection sensitivity due to their designable surface microstructure and enlarged surface area. In this study, a 3D protein chip was prepared by depositing a monolayer of functionalized hollow silica nanoparticles (HSNs) on an activated cyclic olefin copolymer (COC) substrate. The fabricated chip showed improved roughness and light transmittance of the COC substrate, and exhibited higher immobilization efficiency and detection capability for immunoglobulin G compared to a 2D epoxide group-modified glass slide. This nanoparticle-based 3D protein microarray fabrication approach has great potential in biorelated detection.
Compared to traditional two-dimensional (2D) biochips, three-dimensional (3D) biochips exhibit the advantages of higher probe density and detection sensitivity due to their designable surface microstructure as well as enlarged surface area. In the study, we proposed an approach to prepare a 3D protein chip by deposition of a monolayer of functionalized hollow silica nanoparticles (HSNs) on an activated cyclic olefin copolymer (COC) substrate. First, the COC substrate was chemically modified through the photografting technique to tether poly[3-(trimethoxysilyl) propyl methacrylate] (PTMSPMA) brushes on it. Then, a monolayer of HSNs was deposited on the modified COC and covalently attached via a condensation reaction between the hydrolyzed pendant siloxane groups of PTMSPMA and the Si-OH groups of HSNs. The roughness of the COC substrate significantly increased to 50.3 nm after depositing a monolayer of HSNs (ranging from 100 to 700 nm), while it only caused a negligible reduction in the light transmittance of COC. The HSN-modified COC was further functionalized with epoxide groups by a silane coupling agent for binding proteins. Immunoglobulin G could be effectively immobilized on this substrate with the highest immobilization efficiency of 75.2% and a maximum immobilization density of 1.236 mu g/cm(2), while the highest immobilization efficiency on a 2D epoxide group-modified glass slide was only 57.4%. Moreover, immunoassay results confirmed a competitive limit of detection (LOD) (1.06 ng/mL) and a linear detection range (1-100 ng/mL) of the 3D protein chip. This facile and effective approach for fabricating nanoparticle-based 3D protein microarrays has great potential in the field of biorelated detection.
