The preparation method of the LDH is described. It is based on the co-precipitation of metallic salts in constant pH and temperature. The chosen LDH are hydrotalcites (Mg 2 AlCO 3 , Mg 3 AlCO 3 ), Zaccagnaite: Zn 2 AlCO 3 and hydrocalumite: Ca 2 AlCl.

2 EXPERIMENTAL PROCEDURES

21 Preparation of Antibody and Antigen

211 Purification of -Casein

-casein purification were performed using two comple-mentary processes preliminary preparation of prepurified-casein in high quantity based on Aschaffenburg proto-col (1963) 33 modified by Garnier and al (1964) 34 followedby chromatographic method by ion exchange for enhancethe purified product

shows a well purified product (715 of prepurified-casein and 899 of purified -casein)

213 Preparation of Antibody

Anti--casein antiserum was obtained by immunizing rab-bits with intradermal injection of purified -casein (10 mgin 1 mL of 014 M NaCl) emulsified with 1 mL of Freundrsquoscomplete Adjuvant (Behring Marburg FRG) for the firstinjection and incomplete adjuvant for following boosterinjection (after 13 36 65 90 days) antisera were collectedafter 7 days after each booster injection Reactivity andspecificity of antisera were determined by the method ofOuchterlony (Immunodiffusion double)

22 Preparation of LDHs

Three types of LDH (hydrotalcite hydrocalumite andzaccagnaite) were prepared by co-precipitation at con-stant pH and temperature previously described36 For allpreparation the protocol is similar only reagent pHand temperature condition are different For hydrotalcite(respectively Zaccagnaite) synthesis we added drop todrop 01 M solutions of AlCl3 and MgCl2 (resp ZnCl2) atroom temperature The pH of the mixture was maintainedat pH 80 by adding a basic mixture solution of NaOH2 M and NaCO3 0125 M for hydrotalcite (resp 05 M forZaccagnaite) The final solution were washed with MilliQwater filtered then dried for 12 hrs at 100 C and finallycrushed For hydrocalumite the protocol is similar how-ever the divalent metallic salt is replaced by CaCl2 theexperimental conditions for synthesis are 65 C and pHwas maintained at 115 by adding 2 M NaOH solution aspreviously described37

23 Fabrication of InsulatorSemiconductor (IS)

The microelectronic manufacturing process for planardevices was performed at Centro National de Microelec-troacutenicagrave (CNM) The substrate sample used in this workis 1 cmtimes 1 cm of Si3N4SiO2Si(p-type) structure TheirInsulatorSemiconductor (IS) samples are performed in100 mm diameter wafers of 100-oriented p-SiO2 withresistivity of 4ndash40 middotcm The process started with a ther-mal oxidation process to grow a silicon dioxide layer (SiO2

78 nm) on silicon wafers in a hydrox furnace at 950 CThen an LPCVD Si3N4 layer (100 nm) was deposited onsilicon dioxide surface at 800 C

24 Anti CaseinLDH Hybrid Material Deposition

Hybrid materials were prepared by Layer-by-Layer auto-assembling LDH and anti casein layers onto the IS struc-ture The surface of sample was firstly cleaned usingPIRANHA mixture After that a drop of approximately10 l of dispersed LDH in MilliQ water (25 mgml) was

deposited on the IS surface and spinned during 40 s attwo different speeds (1000 trmin during the first 10 s thenat 4000 trmin during the last 30 s) After that a dropof approximately 10 l of concentrated anti-casein wasdeposited on surface and left at 4 C in a saturated PBSatmosphere over the night Finally the non-bonded anti-bodies were removed by washing samples with phosphatebuffer at pH 74 After experiment the samples werestored in PBS solution at 4 C

25 Surface Characterizations

Powder X-ray Diffraction (XRD) patterns were performedon a Panalytical XrsquoPert Pro diffractometer using Co K1(40 kV 30 mA) radiation and continued scanning modeThe patterns were recorded in a 2 range from 7 to 80in steps of 016 and counting time of 2 s per stepAbsorbing Infrared Fourier Transformed (IRTF) spec-

tra in ATR mode were recorded using an EQUINOX55 (Bruker) spectrophotometer in the range of 4000ndash550 cmminus1 with 2 cmminus1 resolution and averaging 128 scansAFM Imaging was performed in tapping mode using a

Dimension 3100 (Veeco) Atomic Force Microscope

3 RESULTS AND DISCUSSION

32 Surface Characterizations of theHybrid CaseinLDH

We studied the affinity of the positively charged layersof LDH for the anticasein and their capability as linkedmaterial for the antibodies This study was carried out bycoupling IR-spectroscopy in ATR mode and AFM mor-phology scanning in tapping mode

321 IR Characterization in ATR Mode

The result obtained by ATR-Infra red spectroscopyexhibit vibration of antibodyLDH materials As shownin Figure 2 all IR spectra of antibodyLDHs are simi-lar in shape This is probably due to the fact that anti-bodyLDH interaction depends on hydroxyls groups ofpositively charged layers The observed large band at2700ndash3150 cmminus1 was assigned to intermolecular chelateH binding Another band is obtained at 2560ndash2650 cmminus1It can be due to stretching OH vibrations The observed1974ndash2029 cmminus1 band correspond to amid bands Whilethe peaks obtained at 2029 cmminus1 can be associated to thesecondary amide band CndashNO2 stretching vibrationFinally the spectra obtained with anti caseinLDHs

show a band at 1140 cmminus1 and a peak at 980 cmminus1 they canbe assigned to an anhydride CndashOndashC stretching vibrationrespectively to a secondary aliphatic amine CndashN stretchingvibrationAll Infra red patterns of antibody-LDH shows peaks

at 2367ndash2346 cmminus1 They can be assigned to anhydrideC C stretching vibration However the antibodyMgxAlspectra show peak at 2162 cmminus1 that are assigned to C Ostretching vibration40 The corresponding symmetry andasymmetric CndashOndashC stretching vibration are observed at1300 resp 1150 cmminus1 The obtained peak at 668ndash618 cmminus1

is due to NndashH stretching vibrationIn conclusion the immobilization of the antibody is due

to the interaction between the polar functions and the OHgroup of the LDHs in the first time and amine function and

322 Morphology Characterization

The morphology of the different biomembranes beforeand after immobilization of antibody was carried out Thefollow-up of the hybrid biomembrane stability in PBSsolution were carried out versus time the day of depo-sition after 3 days after 7 days As shown in all AFMscan images in Figure 3 the used immobilization methodpermits a good transfer of the antibody This biologicaltransfer is stable in time after 7 days In fact the rugosityof LDH surfaces is enhanced from less than 025 nm to082 nm (for Ca2Al) 045 and 080ndash102 nm (for hydro-talcites Mg3Al resp Mg2Al) and 071 nm (for Zn2Al) seeTable II After 72 hours (respectively 170 h) in PBS solu-tion no significant variations of rugosity were measuredIn fact the measured values of rugosity varied from 065ndash068 nm for Mg3AlCO3 and Zn2AlCO3 to 105 nm forCa2AlCl indicating the stable antibody linked materialsThese results are confirmed by Infra Red spectroscopyspectra In fact the follow-up of the interaction of theantibody with LDH carried out by IRTF in ATR modeshows that no significant change of spectra is observedafter 10 days of immersion in PBS The obtained bandsof spectra do not change during the follow-up study ofthe effect of the immersion in PBS solution The antibodylinked material can be considered stable for biodetectionapplication In fact after more than 15 days in solutiontest the antibody is well immobilized onto the LDH

4 CONCLUSION

2 EXPERIMENTAL PROCEDURES

21 Preparation of Antibody and Antigen

211 Purification of -Casein

-casein purification were performed using two comple-mentary processes preliminary preparation of prepurified-casein in high quantity based on Aschaffenburg proto-col (1963) 33 modified by Garnier and al (1964) 34 followedby chromatographic method by ion exchange for enhancethe purified product

shows a well purified product (715 of prepurified-casein and 899 of purified -casein)

213 Preparation of Antibody

Anti--casein antiserum was obtained by immunizing rab-bits with intradermal injection of purified -casein (10 mgin 1 mL of 014 M NaCl) emulsified with 1 mL of Freundrsquoscomplete Adjuvant (Behring Marburg FRG) for the firstinjection and incomplete adjuvant for following boosterinjection (after 13 36 65 90 days) antisera were collectedafter 7 days after each booster injection Reactivity andspecificity of antisera were determined by the method ofOuchterlony (Immunodiffusion double)

22 Preparation of LDHs

Three types of LDH (hydrotalcite hydrocalumite andzaccagnaite) were prepared by co-precipitation at con-stant pH and temperature previously described36 For allpreparation the protocol is similar only reagent pHand temperature condition are different For hydrotalcite(respectively Zaccagnaite) synthesis we added drop todrop 01 M solutions of AlCl3 and MgCl2 (resp ZnCl2) atroom temperature The pH of the mixture was maintainedat pH 80 by adding a basic mixture solution of NaOH2 M and NaCO3 0125 M for hydrotalcite (resp 05 M forZaccagnaite) The final solution were washed with MilliQwater filtered then dried for 12 hrs at 100 C and finallycrushed For hydrocalumite the protocol is similar how-ever the divalent metallic salt is replaced by CaCl2 theexperimental conditions for synthesis are 65 C and pHwas maintained at 115 by adding 2 M NaOH solution aspreviously described37

23 Fabrication of InsulatorSemiconductor (IS)

The microelectronic manufacturing process for planardevices was performed at Centro National de Microelec-troacutenicagrave (CNM) The substrate sample used in this workis 1 cmtimes 1 cm of Si3N4SiO2Si(p-type) structure TheirInsulatorSemiconductor (IS) samples are performed in100 mm diameter wafers of 100-oriented p-SiO2 withresistivity of 4ndash40 middotcm The process started with a ther-mal oxidation process to grow a silicon dioxide layer (SiO2

78 nm) on silicon wafers in a hydrox furnace at 950 CThen an LPCVD Si3N4 layer (100 nm) was deposited onsilicon dioxide surface at 800 C

24 Anti CaseinLDH Hybrid Material Deposition

Hybrid materials were prepared by Layer-by-Layer auto-assembling LDH and anti casein layers onto the IS struc-ture The surface of sample was firstly cleaned usingPIRANHA mixture After that a drop of approximately10 l of dispersed LDH in MilliQ water (25 mgml) was

deposited on the IS surface and spinned during 40 s attwo different speeds (1000 trmin during the first 10 s thenat 4000 trmin during the last 30 s) After that a dropof approximately 10 l of concentrated anti-casein wasdeposited on surface and left at 4 C in a saturated PBSatmosphere over the night Finally the non-bonded anti-bodies were removed by washing samples with phosphatebuffer at pH 74 After experiment the samples werestored in PBS solution at 4 C

25 Surface Characterizations

Powder X-ray Diffraction (XRD) patterns were performedon a Panalytical XrsquoPert Pro diffractometer using Co K1(40 kV 30 mA) radiation and continued scanning modeThe patterns were recorded in a 2 range from 7 to 80in steps of 016 and counting time of 2 s per stepAbsorbing Infrared Fourier Transformed (IRTF) spec-

tra in ATR mode were recorded using an EQUINOX55 (Bruker) spectrophotometer in the range of 4000ndash550 cmminus1 with 2 cmminus1 resolution and averaging 128 scansAFM Imaging was performed in tapping mode using a

Dimension 3100 (Veeco) Atomic Force Microscope

32 Surface Characterizations of theHybrid CaseinLDH

We studied the affinity of the positively charged layersof LDH for the anticasein and their capability as linkedmaterial for the antibodies This study was carried out bycoupling IR-spectroscopy in ATR mode and AFM mor-phology scanning in tapping mode

321 IR Characterization in ATR Mode

The result obtained by ATR-Infra red spectroscopyexhibit vibration of antibodyLDH materials As shownin Figure 2 all IR spectra of antibodyLDHs are simi-lar in shape This is probably due to the fact that anti-bodyLDH interaction depends on hydroxyls groups ofpositively charged layers The observed large band at2700ndash3150 cmminus1 was assigned to intermolecular chelateH binding Another band is obtained at 2560ndash2650 cmminus1It can be due to stretching OH vibrations The observed1974ndash2029 cmminus1 band correspond to amid bands Whilethe peaks obtained at 2029 cmminus1 can be associated to thesecondary amide band CndashNO2 stretching vibrationFinally the spectra obtained with anti caseinLDHs

show a band at 1140 cmminus1 and a peak at 980 cmminus1 they canbe assigned to an anhydride CndashOndashC stretching vibrationrespectively to a secondary aliphatic amine CndashN stretchingvibrationAll Infra red patterns of antibody-LDH shows peaks

at 2367ndash2346 cmminus1 They can be assigned to anhydrideC C stretching vibration However the antibodyMgxAlspectra show peak at 2162 cmminus1 that are assigned to C Ostretching vibration40 The corresponding symmetry andasymmetric CndashOndashC stretching vibration are observed at1300 resp 1150 cmminus1 The obtained peak at 668ndash618 cmminus1

is due to NndashH stretching vibrationIn conclusion the immobilization of the antibody is due

to the interaction between the polar functions and the OHgroup of the LDHs in the first time and amine function and

materials can be considered highly stable in analyte solu-tion for more than 10 daysIn this study LDH materials can be considered as good

host matrices for antibody immobilization Finally thesematrices do not affect the anti-casein properties as shownthrough IRTF spectra and can be considered as a suitablebiomembrane for the casein detectionIn conclusion the feasibility of improved antibody

immobilization into LDHs materials for casein biosensorapplication is demonstrated This method will be used forfabricating the -casein biosensor and studying its perfor-mances such as sensibility selectivity and life time

2 EXPERIMENTAL PROCEDURES

21 Preparation of Antibody and Antigen

211 Purification of -Casein

-casein purification were performed using two comple-mentary processes preliminary preparation of prepurified-casein in high quantity based on Aschaffenburg proto-col (1963) 33 modified by Garnier and al (1964) 34 followedby chromatographic method by ion exchange for enhancethe purified product

212 Quantification and Control of Preparation

Finally the monitoring and the control of the both -casein(prepurified and purified) were performed by Polyacry-lamide gels electrophoresis according to the procedureadapted for PhastSystem35 The obtained electrophorgram

shows a well purified product (715 of prepurified-casein and 899 of purified -casein)

213 Preparation of Antibody

Anti--casein antiserum was obtained by immunizing rab-bits with intradermal injection of purified -casein (10 mgin 1 mL of 014 M NaCl) emulsified with 1 mL of Freundrsquoscomplete Adjuvant (Behring Marburg FRG) for the firstinjection and incomplete adjuvant for following boosterinjection (after 13 36 65 90 days) antisera were collectedafter 7 days after each booster injection Reactivity andspecificity of antisera were determined by the method ofOuchterlony (Immunodiffusion double)

22 Preparation of LDHs

Three types of LDH (hydrotalcite hydrocalumite andzaccagnaite) were prepared by co-precipitation at con-stant pH and temperature previously described36 For allpreparation the protocol is similar only reagent pHand temperature condition are different For hydrotalcite(respectively Zaccagnaite) synthesis we added drop todrop 01 M solutions of AlCl3 and MgCl2 (resp ZnCl2) atroom temperature The pH of the mixture was maintainedat pH 80 by adding a basic mixture solution of NaOH2 M and NaCO3 0125 M for hydrotalcite (resp 05 M forZaccagnaite) The final solution were washed with MilliQwater filtered then dried for 12 hrs at 100 C and finallycrushed For hydrocalumite the protocol is similar how-ever the divalent metallic salt is replaced by CaCl2 theexperimental conditions for synthesis are 65 C and pHwas maintained at 115 by adding 2 M NaOH solution aspreviously described37

23 Fabrication of InsulatorSemiconductor (IS)

The microelectronic manufacturing process for planardevices was performed at Centro National de Microelec-troacutenicagrave (CNM) The substrate sample used in this workis 1 cmtimes 1 cm of Si3N4SiO2Si(p-type) structure TheirInsulatorSemiconductor (IS) samples are performed in100 mm diameter wafers of 100-oriented p-SiO2 withresistivity of 4ndash40 middotcm The process started with a ther-mal oxidation process to grow a silicon dioxide layer (SiO2

78 nm) on silicon wafers in a hydrox furnace at 950 CThen an LPCVD Si3N4 layer (100 nm) was deposited onsilicon dioxide surface at 800 C

24 Anti CaseinLDH Hybrid Material Deposition

Hybrid materials were prepared by Layer-by-Layer auto-assembling LDH and anti casein layers onto the IS struc-ture The surface of sample was firstly cleaned usingPIRANHA mixture After that a drop of approximately10 l of dispersed LDH in MilliQ water (25 mgml) was

deposited on the IS surface and spinned during 40 s attwo different speeds (1000 trmin during the first 10 s thenat 4000 trmin during the last 30 s) After that a dropof approximately 10 l of concentrated anti-casein wasdeposited on surface and left at 4 C in a saturated PBSatmosphere over the night Finally the non-bonded anti-bodies were removed by washing samples with phosphatebuffer at pH 74 After experiment the samples werestored in PBS solution at 4 C

25 Surface Characterizations

Powder X-ray Diffraction (XRD) patterns were performedon a Panalytical XrsquoPert Pro diffractometer using Co K1(40 kV 30 mA) radiation and continued scanning modeThe patterns were recorded in a 2 range from 7 to 80in steps of 016 and counting time of 2 s per stepAbsorbing Infrared Fourier Transformed (IRTF) spec-

tra in ATR mode were recorded using an EQUINOX55 (Bruker) spectrophotometer in the range of 4000ndash550 cmminus1 with 2 cmminus1 resolution and averaging 128 scansAFM Imaging was performed in tapping mode using a

Dimension 3100 (Veeco) Atomic Force Microscope

32 Surface Characterizations of theHybrid CaseinLDH

We studied the affinity of the positively charged layersof LDH for the anticasein and their capability as linkedmaterial for the antibodies This study was carried out bycoupling IR-spectroscopy in ATR mode and AFM mor-phology scanning in tapping mode

321 IR Characterization in ATR Mode

The result obtained by ATR-Infra red spectroscopyexhibit vibration of antibodyLDH materials As shownin Figure 2 all IR spectra of antibodyLDHs are simi-lar in shape This is probably due to the fact that anti-bodyLDH interaction depends on hydroxyls groups ofpositively charged layers The observed large band at2700ndash3150 cmminus1 was assigned to intermolecular chelateH binding Another band is obtained at 2560ndash2650 cmminus1It can be due to stretching OH vibrations The observed1974ndash2029 cmminus1 band correspond to amid bands Whilethe peaks obtained at 2029 cmminus1 can be associated to thesecondary amide band CndashNO2 stretching vibrationFinally the spectra obtained with anti caseinLDHs

show a band at 1140 cmminus1 and a peak at 980 cmminus1 they canbe assigned to an anhydride CndashOndashC stretching vibrationrespectively to a secondary aliphatic amine CndashN stretchingvibrationAll Infra red patterns of antibody-LDH shows peaks

at 2367ndash2346 cmminus1 They can be assigned to anhydrideC C stretching vibration However the antibodyMgxAlspectra show peak at 2162 cmminus1 that are assigned to C Ostretching vibration40 The corresponding symmetry andasymmetric CndashOndashC stretching vibration are observed at1300 resp 1150 cmminus1 The obtained peak at 668ndash618 cmminus1

is due to NndashH stretching vibrationIn conclusion the immobilization of the antibody is due

to the interaction between the polar functions and the OHgroup of the LDHs in the first time and amine function and

322 Morphology Characterization

The morphology of the different biomembranes beforeand after immobilization of antibody was carried out Thefollow-up of the hybrid biomembrane stability in PBSsolution were carried out versus time the day of depo-sition after 3 days after 7 days As shown in all AFMscan images in Figure 3 the used immobilization methodpermits a good transfer of the antibody This biologicaltransfer is stable in time after 7 days In fact the rugosityof LDH surfaces is enhanced from less than 025 nm to082 nm (for Ca2Al) 045 and 080ndash102 nm (for hydro-talcites Mg3Al resp Mg2Al) and 071 nm (for Zn2Al) seeTable II After 72 hours (respectively 170 h) in PBS solu-tion no significant variations of rugosity were measuredIn fact the measured values of rugosity varied from 065ndash068 nm for Mg3AlCO3 and Zn2AlCO3 to 105 nm forCa2AlCl indicating the stable antibody linked materialsThese results are confirmed by Infra Red spectroscopyspectra In fact the follow-up of the interaction of theantibody with LDH carried out by IRTF in ATR modeshows that no significant change of spectra is observedafter 10 days of immersion in PBS The obtained bandsof spectra do not change during the follow-up study ofthe effect of the immersion in PBS solution The antibodylinked material can be considered stable for biodetectionapplication In fact after more than 15 days in solutiontest the antibody is well immobilized onto the LDH

4 CONCLUSION

In the present work we have presented a comparativestudy of different anti--caseinLDH materials The newapproach used was based on auto-assembled hybrid mate-rials The obtained immobilization of antibody onto LDH

materials can be considered highly stable in analyte solu-tion for more than 10 daysIn this study LDH materials can be considered as good

host matrices for antibody immobilization Finally thesematrices do not affect the anti-casein properties as shownthrough IRTF spectra and can be considered as a suitablebiomembrane for the casein detectionIn conclusion the feasibility of improved antibody

immobilization into LDHs materials for casein biosensorapplication is demonstrated This method will be used forfabricating the -casein biosensor and studying its perfor-mances such as sensibility selectivity and life time

Stable Immobilization of Anti-Beta Casein Antibody onto LDH Materials for Biosensor Applications Baccar et al

shows a well purified product (715 of prepurified-casein and 899 of purified -casein)

213 Preparation of Antibody

Anti--casein antiserum was obtained by immunizing rab-bits with intradermal injection of purified -casein (10 mgin 1 mL of 014 M NaCl) emulsified with 1 mL of Freundrsquoscomplete Adjuvant (Behring Marburg FRG) for the firstinjection and incomplete adjuvant for following boosterinjection (after 13 36 65 90 days) antisera were collectedafter 7 days after each booster injection Reactivity andspecificity of antisera were determined by the method ofOuchterlony (Immunodiffusion double)

22 Preparation of LDHs

Three types of LDH (hydrotalcite hydrocalumite andzaccagnaite) were prepared by co-precipitation at con-stant pH and temperature previously described36 For allpreparation the protocol is similar only reagent pHand temperature condition are different For hydrotalcite(respectively Zaccagnaite) synthesis we added drop todrop 01 M solutions of AlCl3 and MgCl2 (resp ZnCl2) atroom temperature The pH of the mixture was maintainedat pH 80 by adding a basic mixture solution of NaOH2 M and NaCO3 0125 M for hydrotalcite (resp 05 M forZaccagnaite) The final solution were washed with MilliQwater filtered then dried for 12 hrs at 100 C and finallycrushed For hydrocalumite the protocol is similar how-ever the divalent metallic salt is replaced by CaCl2 theexperimental conditions for synthesis are 65 C and pHwas maintained at 115 by adding 2 M NaOH solution aspreviously described37

23 Fabrication of InsulatorSemiconductor (IS)

The microelectronic manufacturing process for planardevices was performed at Centro National de Microelec-troacutenicagrave (CNM) The substrate sample used in this workis 1 cmtimes 1 cm of Si3N4SiO2Si(p-type) structure TheirInsulatorSemiconductor (IS) samples are performed in100 mm diameter wafers of 100-oriented p-SiO2 withresistivity of 4ndash40 middotcm The process started with a ther-mal oxidation process to grow a silicon dioxide layer (SiO2

78 nm) on silicon wafers in a hydrox furnace at 950 CThen an LPCVD Si3N4 layer (100 nm) was deposited onsilicon dioxide surface at 800 C

24 Anti CaseinLDH Hybrid Material Deposition

Hybrid materials were prepared by Layer-by-Layer auto-assembling LDH and anti casein layers onto the IS struc-ture The surface of sample was firstly cleaned usingPIRANHA mixture After that a drop of approximately10 l of dispersed LDH in MilliQ water (25 mgml) was

deposited on the IS surface and spinned during 40 s attwo different speeds (1000 trmin during the first 10 s thenat 4000 trmin during the last 30 s) After that a dropof approximately 10 l of concentrated anti-casein wasdeposited on surface and left at 4 C in a saturated PBSatmosphere over the night Finally the non-bonded anti-bodies were removed by washing samples with phosphatebuffer at pH 74 After experiment the samples werestored in PBS solution at 4 C

25 Surface Characterizations

Powder X-ray Diffraction (XRD) patterns were performedon a Panalytical XrsquoPert Pro diffractometer using Co K1(40 kV 30 mA) radiation and continued scanning modeThe patterns were recorded in a 2 range from 7 to 80in steps of 016 and counting time of 2 s per stepAbsorbing Infrared Fourier Transformed (IRTF) spec-

tra in ATR mode were recorded using an EQUINOX55 (Bruker) spectrophotometer in the range of 4000ndash550 cmminus1 with 2 cmminus1 resolution and averaging 128 scansAFM Imaging was performed in tapping mode using a

Dimension 3100 (Veeco) Atomic Force Microscope

3 RESULTS AND DISCUSSION

31 XRD Characterization of LDH Powders

carbon interlayer The covered OH groups of the LDH sur-faces layer were suitable for the hydrogen bonding interac-tion with the polar function of the amino acids of antibodyThe follow-up of the surface evaluation during time in

analyzed solution shows no significant changes This isprobably due to the high affinity of the anti-bodyLDHbond that maintains stable the antibody linkage

322 Morphology Characterization

The morphology of the different biomembranes beforeand after immobilization of antibody was carried out Thefollow-up of the hybrid biomembrane stability in PBSsolution were carried out versus time the day of depo-sition after 3 days after 7 days As shown in all AFMscan images in Figure 3 the used immobilization methodpermits a good transfer of the antibody This biologicaltransfer is stable in time after 7 days In fact the rugosityof LDH surfaces is enhanced from less than 025 nm to082 nm (for Ca2Al) 045 and 080ndash102 nm (for hydro-talcites Mg3Al resp Mg2Al) and 071 nm (for Zn2Al) seeTable II After 72 hours (respectively 170 h) in PBS solu-tion no significant variations of rugosity were measuredIn fact the measured values of rugosity varied from 065ndash068 nm for Mg3AlCO3 and Zn2AlCO3 to 105 nm forCa2AlCl indicating the stable antibody linked materialsThese results are confirmed by Infra Red spectroscopyspectra In fact the follow-up of the interaction of theantibody with LDH carried out by IRTF in ATR modeshows that no significant change of spectra is observedafter 10 days of immersion in PBS The obtained bandsof spectra do not change during the follow-up study ofthe effect of the immersion in PBS solution The antibodylinked material can be considered stable for biodetectionapplication In fact after more than 15 days in solutiontest the antibody is well immobilized onto the LDH

4 CONCLUSION

In the present work we have presented a comparativestudy of different anti--caseinLDH materials The newapproach used was based on auto-assembled hybrid mate-rials The obtained immobilization of antibody onto LDH

materials can be considered highly stable in analyte solu-tion for more than 10 daysIn this study LDH materials can be considered as good

host matrices for antibody immobilization Finally thesematrices do not affect the anti-casein properties as shownthrough IRTF spectra and can be considered as a suitablebiomembrane for the casein detectionIn conclusion the feasibility of improved antibody

immobilization into LDHs materials for casein biosensorapplication is demonstrated This method will be used forfabricating the -casein biosensor and studying its perfor-mances such as sensibility selectivity and life time

carbon interlayer The covered OH groups of the LDH sur-faces layer were suitable for the hydrogen bonding interac-tion with the polar function of the amino acids of antibodyThe follow-up of the surface evaluation during time in

analyzed solution shows no significant changes This isprobably due to the high affinity of the anti-bodyLDHbond that maintains stable the antibody linkage

322 Morphology Characterization

The morphology of the different biomembranes beforeand after immobilization of antibody was carried out Thefollow-up of the hybrid biomembrane stability in PBSsolution were carried out versus time the day of depo-sition after 3 days after 7 days As shown in all AFMscan images in Figure 3 the used immobilization methodpermits a good transfer of the antibody This biologicaltransfer is stable in time after 7 days In fact the rugosityof LDH surfaces is enhanced from less than 025 nm to082 nm (for Ca2Al) 045 and 080ndash102 nm (for hydro-talcites Mg3Al resp Mg2Al) and 071 nm (for Zn2Al) seeTable II After 72 hours (respectively 170 h) in PBS solu-tion no significant variations of rugosity were measuredIn fact the measured values of rugosity varied from 065ndash068 nm for Mg3AlCO3 and Zn2AlCO3 to 105 nm forCa2AlCl indicating the stable antibody linked materialsThese results are confirmed by Infra Red spectroscopyspectra In fact the follow-up of the interaction of theantibody with LDH carried out by IRTF in ATR modeshows that no significant change of spectra is observedafter 10 days of immersion in PBS The obtained bandsof spectra do not change during the follow-up study ofthe effect of the immersion in PBS solution The antibodylinked material can be considered stable for biodetectionapplication In fact after more than 15 days in solutiontest the antibody is well immobilized onto the LDH

4 CONCLUSION

In the present work we have presented a comparativestudy of different anti--caseinLDH materials The newapproach used was based on auto-assembled hybrid mate-rials The obtained immobilization of antibody onto LDH

materials can be considered highly stable in analyte solu-tion for more than 10 daysIn this study LDH materials can be considered as good

host matrices for antibody immobilization Finally thesematrices do not affect the anti-casein properties as shownthrough IRTF spectra and can be considered as a suitablebiomembrane for the casein detectionIn conclusion the feasibility of improved antibody

immobilization into LDHs materials for casein biosensorapplication is demonstrated This method will be used forfabricating the -casein biosensor and studying its perfor-mances such as sensibility selectivity and life time

carbon interlayer The covered OH groups of the LDH sur-faces layer were suitable for the hydrogen bonding interac-tion with the polar function of the amino acids of antibodyThe follow-up of the surface evaluation during time in

analyzed solution shows no significant changes This isprobably due to the high affinity of the anti-bodyLDHbond that maintains stable the antibody linkage

322 Morphology Characterization

The morphology of the different biomembranes beforeand after immobilization of antibody was carried out Thefollow-up of the hybrid biomembrane stability in PBSsolution were carried out versus time the day of depo-sition after 3 days after 7 days As shown in all AFMscan images in Figure 3 the used immobilization methodpermits a good transfer of the antibody This biologicaltransfer is stable in time after 7 days In fact the rugosityof LDH surfaces is enhanced from less than 025 nm to082 nm (for Ca2Al) 045 and 080ndash102 nm (for hydro-talcites Mg3Al resp Mg2Al) and 071 nm (for Zn2Al) seeTable II After 72 hours (respectively 170 h) in PBS solu-tion no significant variations of rugosity were measuredIn fact the measured values of rugosity varied from 065ndash068 nm for Mg3AlCO3 and Zn2AlCO3 to 105 nm forCa2AlCl indicating the stable antibody linked materialsThese results are confirmed by Infra Red spectroscopyspectra In fact the follow-up of the interaction of theantibody with LDH carried out by IRTF in ATR modeshows that no significant change of spectra is observedafter 10 days of immersion in PBS The obtained bandsof spectra do not change during the follow-up study ofthe effect of the immersion in PBS solution The antibodylinked material can be considered stable for biodetectionapplication In fact after more than 15 days in solutiontest the antibody is well immobilized onto the LDH

4 CONCLUSION

In the present work we have presented a comparativestudy of different anti--caseinLDH materials The newapproach used was based on auto-assembled hybrid mate-rials The obtained immobilization of antibody onto LDH

materials can be considered highly stable in analyte solu-tion for more than 10 daysIn this study LDH materials can be considered as good

host matrices for antibody immobilization Finally thesematrices do not affect the anti-casein properties as shownthrough IRTF spectra and can be considered as a suitablebiomembrane for the casein detectionIn conclusion the feasibility of improved antibody

immobilization into LDHs materials for casein biosensorapplication is demonstrated This method will be used forfabricating the -casein biosensor and studying its perfor-mances such as sensibility selectivity and life time
