This video demonstrates a technique to detect bacterial contaminants in food and water samples using nanosensors. The target pathogenic bacteria are detected through a combination of magnetic relaxation and fluorescence emission modalities.

Protocol

1. Rapid Detection of E. coli O157:H7 using MFnS Spike various PBS solutions (1X, pH 7.4, 300 µL) with increasing amounts of the 10-6 bacterial stock, resulting in CFU ranges from 1-100. Add a consistent amount of MFnS (100 µL) to these solutions. Create one baseline solution that contains only PBS (1X, pH 7.4, 300 µL) and MFnS (100 µL). Incubate solutions for 30 min at 37 °C and then allow them to cool to room temperature….
