Abstract

Foodborne pathogenic bacteria have become a worldwide threat to human health, and rapid and sensitive bacterial detection methods are urgently needed. In this study, a facile microfluidic chip was developed and combined with recombinase-aided amplification (RAA) for rapid and sensitive detection of Salmonella typhimurium using a non-contact eddy heater for dynamic lysis of bacterial cells and a 3D-printed fan-shaped active mixer for continuous-flow mixing. First, the bacterial sample was injected into the chip to flow through the spiral channel coiling around an iron rod under an alternating electromagnetic field, resulting in the dynamic lysis of bacterial cells by this non-contact eddy heater to release their nucleic acids. After cooling to ~75 °C, these nucleic acids were continuous-flow mixed with magnetic silica beads using the fan-shaped mixer and captured in the separation chamber using a magnet. Finally, the captured nucleic acids were eluted by the eluent from the beads to flow into the detection chamber, followed by RAA detection of nucleic acids to determine the bacterial amount. Under the optimal conditions, this microfluidic chip was able to quantitatively detect Salmonella typhimurium from 1.1 × 102 to 1.1 × 105 CFU/mL in 40 min with a detection limit of 89 CFU/mL and might be prospective to offer a simple, low-cost, fast and specific bacterial detection technique for ensuring food safety.
