This study presents a new technique that uses optically induced dielectrodphoresis (ODEP) manipulation and image processing to enhance the signal-to-noise ratio of fluorescence for stained magnetic beads. By easily separating biomarkers in clinical samples using different sizes of magnetic beads and corresponding antibodies, this method provides a reliable platform for high-efficiency sensor arrays in clinical applications.
Magnetic beads improve biosensing performance by means of their small volume and controllability by magnetic force. In this study, a new technique composed of optically induced dielectrodphoresis (ODEP) manipulation and image processing was used to enhance the signalto-noise ratio of the fluorescence for stained magnetic beads. According to natural advantages of size-dependent particle isolation by ODEP manipulation, biomarkers in clinical samples can be easily separated by different sizes of magnetic beads with corresponding captured antibodies, and rapidly distinguished by separated location of immunofluorescence. To verify the feasibility of the concept, magnetic beads with three different diameters, including 21.8, 8.7, and 4.2 mu m, were easily separated and collected into specific patterns in the defined target zone treated as three dynamic transducer elements to evaluate fluorescence results. In magnetic beads with diameter of 4.2 mu m, the lowest signal-to-noise ratio between stained and nonstained magnetic beads was 3.5. With the help of ODEP accumulation and detection threshold setting of 32, the signal-to-noise ratio was increased to 77.4, which makes this method more reliable. With the further optimization of specific antibodies immobilized on different-size magnetic beads in the future, this platform can be a potential candidate for a high-efficiency sensor array in clinical applications.
