Abstrakt: | The on-line coupling of flow-injection analysis (FIA) to an enzyme-amplified biochemical detection (EA-BCD) system is described. The aim of this study is the development of a detection system able to detect biotin-containing compounds at low concentration levels. The detection system is based on the interaction of biotin with enzyme-labeled affinity proteins. Biotin possesses a high affinity to both streptavidin and anti-biotin Fab fragments, which are both tested. Several biotin derivatives are available with different reactive probes, which can be used to label analytes of interest. Therefore, biotin acts as a universal probe for the enzyme-amplified biochemical detection. Alkaline phosphatase (AP) was used as enzyme label. Several parameters, such as substrate type and concentration, concentration of enzyme-labeled affinity protein, reaction time and reaction temperature were examined. Biotin aminocaproic acid was used as a model compound. In addition to biotin aminocaproic hydrazide, other biotinylation reagents were also examined. With fluorescence detection of the enzyme-generated product, a mass detection limit of 1 fmol was achieved. |
