PG - 705 LID - 10.1007/s00604-019-3868-9 [doi] AB - The authors describe the use of platinum nanoclusters (PtNCs) as bimodal labels in a competitive immunoassay for immunoglobulin E (IgE). Both fluorometry and inductively coupled plasma - mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) are used. Optimization of the PtNCs synthesis using lipoic acid as ligand was carried out. The time for synthesis and the effect of NaOH added to the PtNCs precursor mixture was optimized with the aim to obtain PtNCs with strong red fluorescence and low size dispersity. Maximal fluorescence was obtained at excitation/emission wavelengths of 455/620 nm. The average diameter (1.5 nm) and crystal structure (face-centered cubic structure) of the PtNCs were determined by HR-TEM. It was calculated that each PtNC contains 116 Pt atoms at average. Labelling of the antibody (Ab) against IgE with PtNCs was optimized in terms of recognition capabilities and fluorescence intensity. A molar ratio (Ab:PtNCs) of 1:11 is found to be best. A competitive immunoassay for IgE was developed and detection was carried out by using both ICP-MS (by measuring (195)Pt) and fluorometry. The limit of detection (LOD) of the fluoroimmunoassay is 0.6 ng mL(-1) of IgE. The LOD of the ICP-MS method is as low as 0.08 ng mL(-1). The method was evaluated by analyzing four (spiked) serum samples by ICP-MS. No sample pretreatment excepting dilution is needed. Results compared favorably with those obtained by a commercial ELISA kit. Graphical abstract Schematic representation of the bimodal quantification (fluorescence and ICP-MS) of immunoglobulin E (Ig E) in human serum using antibody against human Ig E, labelled with several platinum nanoclusters (NCs) as immunoprobe. Elemental mass spectrometry (MS) allows high amplification of the signal because of the high number of platinum atoms per nanocluster (~116 Pt/NC).
