The Effect of Oxygen Precursor Concentration to the Iron Oxide Nanoparticles Properties for Lateral Flow Immunoassay Application

Article Preview

Abstract:

In this study, the influence of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) concentration to the iron oxide nanoparticles (IONPs) properties prepared using the precipitation method was investigated. The H2O2 concentration was varied from 0.85 M to 5.1 M. The concentration of H2O2 influenced the crystallinity and the growth rate of the IONPs precipitates. Increasing the concentration of H2O2 increased the crystallinity and expedited the growth rate of IONPs. The optimum concentration of H2O2 was 1.7 M. From the transmission electron microscopy (TEM) images, the size of IONPs obtained was ~14 nm and the X-ray diffraction (XRD) spectra showed the presence of spinel cubic lattice of maghemite (γ-Fe2O3). The magnetic measurement of IONPs using vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM) was showed that the IONPs exhibited superparamagnetic properties. Furthermore, the electrostatic repulsion using percloric acid (HClO4) and steric stabilization using silane polyethelene glycol (SiPEG) were created surround IONPs in order to obtain a stable colloidal IONPs for the conjugation process. The stable IONPs were then conjugated to the antibody and tested in the lateral flow immunoassay as the labelling agent.
