Abstract


Polymer-encapsulated dye nanoparticle sensors are a valuable approach to achieving in situ analyte measurements with luminescence; however, typical emulsion-based nanosensors are poorly suited for large-scale biological samples due to limitations of synthesis scalability and stability. Branched polyethylenimine (PEI) is a versatile polymer scaffold ideal for constructing nanoparticles with various covalently conjugated moieties due to their high density of reactive primary amines, high water solubility, and biological stability. In this work, we used branched polyethylenimine as a scaffold-based approach for making a stable and scalable ratiometric oxygen sensor. Pt (II) tetracarboxyporphine was used as an oxygen-sensing dye and coumarin 343 as a reference dye, all covalently linked to the PEI scaffold producing a product that could withstand sterilization procedures and easily be scaled. To minimize toxicity from the PEI scaffold, we conjugated it with 2000 MW PEG. The applicability of the sensors was demonstrated in a 200 mL Saccharomyces cerevisiae yeast culture, using orthogonal luminescent and electrochemical oxygen measurements to validate sensor response and measure the metabolic activity of the yeast in our culture. This approach was able to match the sensitivity of our electrochemical measurements while improving upon drawbacks of other luminescent methods of oxygen detection, demonstrating effective monitoring for at least 20 h. Our scaffold-based approach is a modular and easily translatable technology that could be useful in various biotechnological applications.
