The rapid growth and development in biodetection technology has largely been driven by the emergence of new and deadly infectious diseases and the realization of biological warfare as new means of terrorism.[1, 2] To address the need for portable, multiplex biodetection systems, we report here a novel biosensing platform using engineered nanowires as an alternative substrate for sandwich immunoassays (Figure 1A). The nanowires are built through submicrometer layering of different metals by electrodeposition within a porous alumina template.[3, 4] A variety of metals can be deposited: in this study, we employed stripes of gold, silver, and nickel. Owing to the permutations in which the metals can be deposited, a large number of unique yet easily identifiable encoded nanowires can be included in a multiplex array format.Image processing of an optical reflectance image can enable the stripe pattern to be identified rapidly, while fluorescence images report information on the degree of binding between the antibody-conjugated nanowires and a fluorophore-tagged antigen target. Such nanowires have been utilized to efficiently detect and report both DNA hybridization and immunoassay processes.[5, 6] Herein, we demonstrate the feasibility of using multistriped metallic nanowires (Figure1A) in a suspended format to enable rapid and sensitive single and multiplex immunoassays for biowarfare agent simulants.
