Abstract

An integrated immunodetection platform employing a simple, reusable, centrifugal microchannel array chip and a smartphone as detection unit was developed. The applicability of the platform to the detection of HIV p24 antigen was demonstrated. The microchip was made of polycarbonate and contained 4 × 8 zigzag microchannels. After the monoclonal antibody of HIV p24 was adsorbed onto the channel surfaces, HIV p24 was introduced into the microchannel to react with the antibody. A biotin linked polyclonal antibody was then brought in to react with HIV p24, and SP80 (containing streptavidin and horseradish peroxidase) was introduced to react with the biotin. Finally, a solution containing 3,3',5,5'-tetramethylbenzidine and other reagents was passed through the above channels, horseradish peroxidase catalyzed the oxidation of tetramethylbenzidine (to 3,3',5,5'- tetramethylbenzidine diamine) forming a dark color. The color intensity, indicating HIV p24 antigen quantity, was then photographed via a smartphone, and the color of each microchannel was processed via a computer to determine the HIV p24 antigen concentration. Under the optimized conditions, limits of detection (LODs) of 0.17 ng/ml and 0.11 ng/ml were obtained for p24 antigen in a buffer solution and human serum, respectively. Channel washing/rinsing was implemented via a centrifugal force. An economic portable centrifugal device that could accommodate up to 4 microchips was assembled, and multi-step solution loading and rinsing involved in this sandwich immunoassay were performed conveniently. The microchip could be reused after a simple regeneration process. The low-cost polycarbonate microchip and centrifugal device together with the simple but efficient operation make the method a promising tool for HIV screening in resource limited areas., (Copyright © 2019.

Abstract

International audience; Household disinfectant and cleaning products (HDCPs) assessment is challenging in epidemiological research. We hypothesized that a newly-developed smartphone application was more objective than questionnaires in assessing HDCPs. Therefore, we aimed to compare both methods, in terms of exposure assessments and respiratory health effects estimates. The women of the SEPAGES birth cohort completed repeated validated questionnaires on HDCPs and respiratory health and used an application to report HDCPs and scan products barcodes, subsequently linked with an ingredients database. Agreements between the two methods were assessed by Kappa coefficients. Logistic regression models estimated associations of HDCP with asthma symptom score. The 101 participants (18 with asthma symptom score ≥1) scanned 617 different products (580 with available ingredients list). Slight to fair agreements for sprays, bleach and scented HDCP were observed (Kappa: 0.35, 0.25, 0.11, respectively). Strength of the associations between HDCP and asthma symptom score varied between both methods but all odds ratios (OR) were greater than one. The number of scanned products used weekly was significantly associated with the asthma symptom score (adjusted-OR [CI 95%]: 1.15 [1.00–1.32]). This study shows the importance of using novel tools in epidemiological research to objectively assess HDCP and therefore reduce exposure measurement errors.
