Definitions
- optical fibers and optical fiber strands in combination with light absorbing dyes for chemical analytical determinations has undergone rapid development, particularly within the last decade.
- optical fibers for such purposes and techniques is described by Milanovich et al., "Novel Optical Fiber Techniques For Medical Application", Proceedings of the SPIE 28th Annual International
- one or more light absorbing dyes are located near its distal end.
- light from an appropriate source is used to illuminate the dyes through the fiber's proximal end.
- the light propagates along the length of the optical fiber; and a portion of this propagated light exits the distal end and is absorbed by the dyes.
- the light absorbing dye may or may not be immobilized; may or may not be directly attached to the optical fiber itself; may or may not be suspended in a fluid sample containing one or more analytes of interest; and may or may not be retainable for subsequent use in a second optical determination.
- fluorophores those more common compositions that emit light after absorption termed "fluorophores” and those which absorb light and internally convert the absorbed light to heat, rather than emit it as light, termed "chromophores.”
- Fluorescence is a physical phenomenon based upon the ability of some molecules to absorb light (photons) at specified wavelengths and then emit light of a longer wavelength and at a lower energy. Substances able to fluoresce share a number of common characteristics: the ability to absorb light energy at one wavelength ⁇ ab ; reach an excited energy state; and subsequently emit light at another light wavelength, ⁇ em .
- the absorption and fluorescence emission spectra are individual for each fluorophore and are often graphically represented as two separate curves that are slightly overlapping.
- the same fluorescence emission spectrum is generally observed irrespective of the wavelength of the exciting light and, accordingly, the wavelength and energy of the exciting light may be varied within limits; but the light emitted by the fluorophore will always provide the same emission spectrum.
- the strength of the fluorescence signal may be measured as the quantum yield of light emitted.
- the fluorescence quantum yield is the ratio of the number of photons emitted in comparison to the number of photons initially absorbed by the fluorophore.
- Dyes which absorb light energy as chromophores do so at individual wavelengths of energy and are characterized by a distinctive molar absorption coefficient at that wavelength.
- Chemical analysis employing fiber optic strands and absorption spectroscopy using visible and ultraviolet light wavelengths in combination with the absorption coefficient allow for the determination of concentration for specific analyses of interest by spectral measurement.
- absorbance measurement via optical fibers is to determine concentration which is calculated in accordance with Beers' law; accordingly, at a single absorbance wavelength, the greater the quantity of the composition which absorbs light energy at a given wavelength, the greater the optical density for the sample In this way, the total quantity of light absorbed directly correlates with the quantity of the composition in the sample
- compositions and methods are desirable that allow the generation of large fiber optic arrays including microspheres that can be either encoded or decoded to allow the detection of target analytes
- compositions comprising a substrate with a surface comprising discrete sites, and a population of microspheres distributed on the sites
- the sites may be wells or chemically functionalized sites

- a solution of 0 2 grams NH 4 F (ammonium fluoride) with 600 ⁇ l distilled H 2 0 and 100 ⁇ 1 of HF (hydrofluoric acid), 50% stock solution, may be used The distal end 212 is etched in this solution for a specified time, preferably approximately 30 to 600 seconds, with about 80 seconds being preferred
- the bundle end Upon removal from this solution, the bundle end is immediately placed in deionized water to stop any further etching in step 274.
- the fiber is then rinsed in running tap water At this stage, sonication is preferably performed for several minutes to remove any salt products from the reaction The fiber is then allowed to air dry
- the foregoing procedure produces wells by the anisotropic etching of the fiber cores 254 favorably with respect to the cladding 256 for each fiber of the bundle 202.
- the wells have approximately the diameter of the cores 254, 3 7 ⁇ m This diameter is selected to be slightly larger than the diameters of the microspheres used, 3 1 ⁇ m, in the example
- the preferential etching occurs because the pure silica of the cores 254 etches faster in the presence of hydrofluoric acid than the germanium-doped silica claddings 256.
- microspheres are then placed in the wells 250 in step 276 according to a number of different techniques
- the placement of the microspheres may be accomplished by dripping a solution containing the desired randomly mixed subpopulations of the microspheres over the distal end 212, sonicating the bundle to settle the microspheres in the wells, and allowing the microsphere solvent to evaporate Alternatively, the subpopulations could be added serially to the bundle end Microspheres 10 may then be fixed into the wells 250 by using a dilute solution of sulfonated Nation that is dripped over the end.
- microsphere swelling to entrap each microsphere 10 in its corresponding microwell 250
- the microspheres are first distributed into the microwells 250 by sonicating the microspheres suspended in a non-swelling solvent in the presence of the microwell array on the distal end 212. After placement into the microwells, the microspheres are subsequently exposed to an aqueous buffer in which they swell, thereby physically entrapping them, analogous to muffins rising in a muffin tin
- compositions of the invention may be made in a variety of ways
- the arrays are made by adding a solution or slurry comprising the beads to a surface containing the sites for attachment of the beads This may be done in a variety of buffers, including aqueous and organic solvents, and mixtures The solvent can evaporate, and excess beads removed
- a novel method of loading the beads onto the array comprises exposing the array to a solution of particles (including microspheres and cells) and then applying energy, e g agitating or vibrating the mixture This results in an array comprising more tightly associated particles, as the agitation is done with sufficient energy to cause weakly-associated beads to fall off (or out, in the case of wells) These sites are then available to bind a different bead In this way, beads that exhibit a high affinity for the sites are selected Arrays made in this way have two main advantages as compared to a more static loading first of all, a higher percentage of the sites can be filled easily, and secondly, the arrays thus loaded show a substantial decrease in bead loss during assays
- these methods are used to generate arrays that have at least about 50% of the sites filled, with at least about 75% being preferred, and at least about 90% being particularly preferred Similarly, arrays generated
- the substrate comprising the surface with the discrete sites is immersed into a solution comprising the particles (beads, cells, etc )
- the surface may comprise wells, as is described herein, or other types of sites on a patterned surface such that there is a differential affinity for the sites This diffemetial affinity results in a competitive process, such that particles that will associate more tightly are selected
- the entire surface to be "loaded” with beads is in fluid contact with the solution
- This solution is generally a slurry ranging from about 10,000 1 beads solution (vol vol) to 1 1 1
- the solution can comprise any number of reagents, including aqueous buffers, organic solvents, salts, other reagent components, etc
- the solution preferably comprises an excess of beads, that is, there are more beads than sites on the array Preferred embodiments utilize two-fold to billion-fold excess of beads
- the immersion can mimic the assay conditions, for example, if the array is to be "dipped" from above into a microtiter plate comprising samples, this configuration can be repeated for the loading, thus minimizing the beads that are likely to fall out due to gravity
- the substrate, the solution, or both are subjected to a competitive process, whereby the particles with lower affinity can be disassociated from the substrate and replaced by particles exhibiting a higher affinity to the site
- This competitive process is done by the introduction of energy, in the form of heat, sonication, stirring or mixing, vibrating or agitating the solution or substrate, or both
- a preferred embodiment utilizes agitation or vibration
- the amount of manipulation of the substrate is minimized to prevent damage to the array
- preferred embodiments utilize the agitation of the solution rather than the array, although either will work
- this agitation can take on any number of forms, with a preferred embodiment utilizing microtiter plates comprising bead solutions being agitated using microtiter plate shakers
- the agitation proceeds for a period of time sufficient to load the array to a desired fill Depending on the size and concentration of the beads and the size of the array, this time may range from about 1 second to days, with from about 1 minute to about 24 hours being preferred
- sites of an array may comprise a bead, that is, there may be some sites on the substrate surface which are empty.
- microspheres One of the most common microsphere formations is tentagel, a styrene-polyethylene glycol co-polymer These microspheres are unswollen in nonpolar solvents such as hexane and swell approximately 20-40% in volume upon exposure to a more polar or aqueous media This approach is extremely desirable since it does not significantly compromise the diffusional or permeability properties of the microspheres themselves
- Figs 7A and 7B show polymer coated microspheres 12 in wells 250 after their initial placement and then after tapping and exposure to air pulses
- Figs 7A and 7B illustrate that there is no appreciable loss of microspheres from the wells due to mechanical agitation even without a specific fixing technique This effect is probably due to electrostatic forces between the microspheres and the optical fibers These forces tend to bind the microspheres within the wells Thus, in most environments, it may be unnecessary to use any chemical or mechanical fixation for the microspheres
- a sonication step may be used to place beads in the wells
- sites of an array may comprise a bead, that is, there may be some sites on the substrate surface which are empty In addition, there may be some sites that contain more than one bead, although this is not preferred In some embodiments, for example when chemical attachment is done, it is possible to attach the beads in a non-random or ordered way For example, using photoactivatible attachment linkers or photoactivatible adhesives or masks, selected sites on the array may be sequentially rendered suitable for attachment, such that defined populations of beads are laid down
- the size of the array will be set by the number of unique optical signatures, it is possible to "reuse" a set of unique optical signatures to allow for a greater number of test sites This may be done in several ways, for example, by using a positional coding scheme within an array, different sub-bundles may reuse the set of optical signatures Similarly, one embodiment utilizes bead size as a coding modality, thus allowing the reuse of the set of unique optical signatures for each bead size Alternatively, sequential partial loading of arrays with beads can also allow the reuse of optical signatures
- a spatial or positional coding system is done
- each subarray is an "area code", that can have the same tags (i e telephone numbers) of other subarrays, that are separated by virtue of the location of the subarray
- tags i e telephone numbers
- the same unique tags can be reused from bundle to bundle
- the use of 50 unique tags in combination with 100 different subarrays can form an array of 5000 different bioactive agents
- additional encoding parameters can be added, such as microsphere size
- the use of different size beads may also allow the reuse of sets of optical signatures, that is, it is possible to use microspheres of different sizes to expand the encoding dimensions of the microspheres
- Optical fiber arrays can be fabricated containing pixels with different fiber diameters or cross-sections, alternatively, two or more fiber optic bundles, each with different cross-sections of the individual fibers, can be added together to form a larger bundle, or, fiber optic bundles with fiber of the same size cross-sections can be used, but just with different sized beads With different diameters, the largest wells can be filled with the largest microspheres and then moving onto progressively smaller microspheres in the smaller wells until all size wells are then filled In this manner, the same dye ratio could be used to encode microspheres of different sizes thereby expanding the number of different oligonucleotide sequences or chemical functionalities present in the array
- fiber optic substrates this as well as the other methods outlined
- arrays are made of a large spectrum of chemical functionalities utilizing the compositions of invention comprising microspheres and substrates with discrete sites on a surface
- prior art sensors which can be adapted for use in the present invention include four broad classifications of microsphere sensors 1) basic indicator chemistry sensors, 2) enzyme-based sensors, 3) immuno-based sensors (both of which are part of a broader general class of protein sensors), and 4) geno-sensors
- bioactive agents are used to detect chemical compounds
- a large number of basic indicator sensors have been previously demonstrated Examples include
- Enzyme-based microsphere sensors have also been demonstrated and could be manifest on microspheres Examples include
- the induced change in the optical signal due to the presence of the enzyme-sensitive chemical analyte occurs indirectly in this class of chemical functionalities
- the microsphere-bound enzyme, e glucose oxidase, decomposes the target analyte, e g , glucose, consume a co-substrate, e g , oxygen, or produce some by-product, e g , hydrogen peroxide
- An oxygen sensitive dye is then used to trigger the signal change
- Immuno-based microsphere sensors have been demonstrated for the detection for environmental pollutants such as pesticides, herbicides, PCB's and PAH's Additionally, these sensors have also been used for diagnostics, such as bacterial (e , leprosy, cholera, lyme disease, and tuberculosis), viral (e g , HIV, herpes simplex, cytomegalovirus), fungal (e g , aspergillosis, candidiasis, cryptococcoses), My
- Microsphere genosensors may also be made (see the Examples) These are typically constructed by attaching a probe sequence to the microsphere surface chemistry, typically via an NH 2 group A fluorescent dye molecule, e g , fluorescein, is attached to the target sequence, which is in solution The optically interrogatable signal change occurs with the binding of the target sequences to the microsphere This produces a higher concentration of dye surrounding the microsphere than in the solution generally
- a few demonstrated probe and target sequences see Ferguson, J A et al Nature Biotechnology, Vol 14, Dec 1996, are listed below in Table V
- Hybridization indicators preferentially associate with double stranded nucleic acid
- Hybridization indicators include intercalators and minor and/or major groove binding moieties
- intercalators may be used, since intercalation generally only occurs in the presence of double stranded nucleic acid, only in the presence of target hybridization will the label light up
- sensors may be made to detect nucleic acids, proteins (including enzyme sensors and immunosensors), lipids, carbohydrates, etc, similarly, these sensors may include bioactive agents that are nucleic acids, proteins, lipids, carbohydrates, etc
- a single array sensor may contain different binding ligands for multiple types of analytes, for example, an array sensor for HIV may contain multiple nucleic acid probes for direct detection of the viral genome, protein binding ligands for direct detection of the viral particle, immuno-components for the detection of anti-HIV antibodies, etc
- compositions of the invention may include other components, such as light sources, optical components such as lenses and filters, detectors, computer components for data analysis, etc.
- the arrays of the present invention are constructed such that information about the identity of the bioactive agent is built into the array, such that the random deposition of the beads on the surface of the substrate can be "decoded” to allow identification of the bioactive agent at all positions This may be done in a variety of ways
- the beads are loaded onto the substrate and then the array is decoded, prior to running the assay This is done by detecting the optical signature associated with the bead at each site on the array This may be done all at once, if unique optical signatures are used, or sequentially, as is generally outlined above for the "reuse" of sets of optical signatures Alternatively, decoding may occur after the assay is run
- compositions find use in a number of applications
- a sample containing a target analyte (whether for detection of the target analyte or screening for binding partners of the target analyte) is added to the array, under conditions suitable for binding of the target analyte to at least one of the bioactive agents, i e generally physiological conditions
- the presence or absence of the target analyte is then detected
- this may be done in a variety of ways, generally through the use of a change in an optical signal
- This change can occur via many different mechanisms
- a few examples include the binding of a dye-tagged analyte to the bead, the production of a dye species on or near the beads, the destruction of an existing dye species, a change in the optical signature upon analyte interaction with dye on bead, or any other optical interrogatable event
- the change in optical signal occurs as a result of the binding of a target analyte that is labeled, either directly or indirectly, with a detectable label, preferably an optical label such as a fluorochrome
- a detectable label preferably an optical label such as a fluorochrome
- a proteinaceous target analyte when used, it may be either directly labeled with a fluor, or indirectly, for example through the use of a labeled antibody

- an intercalating dye e g , ethidium bromide
- the target analyte such as an enzyme generates a species (for example, a fluorescent product) that is either directly or indirectly detectable optically
- a change in the optical signature may be the basis of the optical signal
- the interaction of some chemical target analytes with some fluorescent dyes on the beads may alter the optical signature, thus generating a different optical signal
- fluorophore de ⁇ vatized receptors may be used in which the binding of the ligand alters the signal

- the optical response signals from a plurality of sensor beads within each bead subpopulation can be manipulated and analyzed in a wide variety of ways, including baseline adjustment, averaging, standard deviation analysis, distribution and cluster analysis, confidence interval analysis, mean testing, etc
- the first manipulation of the optical response signals is an optional baseline adjustment
- the standardized optical responses are adjusted to start at a value of 0 0 by subtracting the integer 1 0 from all data points Doing this allows the baseline-loop data to remain at zero even when summed together and the random response signal noise is canceled out
- the vapor pulse-loop temporal region frequently exhibits a characteristic change in response, either positive, negative or neutral, prior to the vapor pulse and often requires a baseline adjustment to overcome noise associated with drift in the first few data points due to charge buildup in the CCD camera If no drift is present, typically the baseline from the first data point for each bead sensor is subtracted from all the response data for the same bead If drift is observed, the average baseline from the first ten data points for each bead sensor is substracted from the all the response data for the same bead By applying this baseline adjustment, when multiple bead responses are added together they can be amplified while the baseline remains
- signal summing is done by simply adding the intensity values of all responses at each time point, generating a new temporal response comprised of the sum of all bead responses These values can be baseline-adjusted or raw As for all the analyses described herein, signal summing can be performed in real time or during post-data acquisition data reduction and analysis In one embodiment, signal summing is performed with a commercial spreadsheet program (Excel, Microsoft, Redmond, WA) after optical response data is collected
- cummulative response data is generated by simply adding all data points in successive time intervals This final column, comprised of the sum of all data points at a particular time interval, may then be compared or plotted with the individual bead responses to determine the extent of signal enhancement or improved signal-to-noise ratios as shown in Figs 14 and 15

- the subpopulation may be redefined to exclude some beads if necessary (for example for obvious outliers, as discussed below)

- the quality of the data is evaluated using confidence intervals, as is known in the art Confidence intervals can be used to facilitate more comprehensive data processing to measure the statistical validity of a result
- statistical parameters of a subpopulation of beads are used to do hypothesis testing
- tests concerning means also called mean testing
- statistical evaluation is done to determine whether two subpopulations are different For example, one sample could be compared with another sample for each subpopulation within an array to determine if the variation is statistically significant
- mean testing can also be used to differentiate two different assays that share the same code If the two assays give results that are statistically distinct from each other, then the subpopulations that share a common code can be distinguished from each other on the basis of the assay and the mean test, shown below in Equation 5
- analyzing the distribution of individual members of a subpopulation of sensor elements may be done For example, a subpopulation distribution can be evaluated to determine whether the distribution is binomial, Poisson, hypergeomet ⁇ c, etc
- a preferred embodiment utilizes a plurality of sensor elements that are directed to a single target analyte but yet are not identical
- a single target nucleic acid analyte may have two or more sensor elements each comprising a different probe This adds a level of confidence as non-specific binding interactions can be statistically minimized
- the redundant nucleic acid probes may be overlapping, adjacent, or spatially separated However, it is preferred that two probes do not compete for a single binding site, so adjacent or separated probes are preferred
- preferred embodiments utilize bioactive agent binding agents that bind to different parts of the target For example, when antibodies (or antibody fragments) are used as bioactive agents for the binding of target proteins, preferred embodiments utilize antibodies to different epitopes
- a plurality of different sensor elements may be used, with from about 2 to about 20 being preferred, and from about 2 to about 10 being especially preferred, and from 2 to about 5 being particularly preferred, including 2, 3, 4 or 5 However, as above, more may also be used, depending on the application

- the binding of the bioactive agent and the target analyte is specific, that is, the bioactive agent specifically binds to the target analyte
- specifically bind herein is meant that the agent binds the analyte, with specificity sufficient to differentiate between the analyte and other components or contaminants of the test sample
