报告摘要：In order to secure food safety, high throughput pathogen screening technique that can quickly identify and isolate unsafe contaminated food has been long-desired. Magnetoelastic (ME) biosensors are one novel device that provides wireless, in-situ, real-time detection of pathogenic bacteria. This presentation will introduce the novel ME biosensor technique, including the detection principle, the interrogation system, the fabrication of ME biosensors and their applications, especially for food safety analysis. The ME biosensor consists of a transducer that is coated with a bio-molecular recognition element for the specific capture and binding of target bacteria. ME sensors work on the principle of Joule magnetostriction, where the sensor experiences a change in its dimensions in the presence of a magnetic field. When subjected to a time-varying magnetic field, the ME biosensor vibrates with a characteristic resonant frequency. Once the biosensor comes into contact with the target pathogen, binding occurs, resulting in a decrease of the sensor's resonant frequency. Interrogated through magnetic signals, large amount of ME sensors can be deployed and monitored wirelessly, providing real-time high throughput pathogen screening information. ME biosensors have been investigated to detect foodborne pathogens in cultures, liquid foods and directly on food surfaces. This technique has the potential to be a powerful screening tool applied along the entire food supply chain.
