Fluorescent Silica Nano-Particles and Magnetic Bead Based Immunoassay: an Optical Tool for Detection of Staphylococcal enterotoxin B in Milk for High-Throughput Screening

Rastogi S.K., Branen J.R., Gibbon S., Larry Branen A., University of Idaho, US

This paper describes the use of fluorescent silica nanoparticles (FSNPs) as luminescent signal amplifiers in biological system based on digital counting of individual particles and measuring of average fluorescence intensity, because FSNPs emit intense yellow-green [...]

Amperometric Detection of Staphylococcal Enterotoxin B in milk using Magnetic Bead-Based Immunoassay on Disposable Screen Printed Carbon Electrode Strip

Rastogi S.K., Gibbon S., Branen A.L., Branen J.R., Branen A.L., Branen J.R., University of Idaho, US

A novel approach for the sensitive detection of Staphylococcal enterotoxin B (SEB) in milk is reported. The method used sandwich enzyme-linked immunoassay with SEB specific antibodies on magnetic beads. A small cylindrical magnet was fixed, [...]
