Herein, we designed a strategy for removing non-specific binding including anti-mouse IgG antibody and bovine serum albumin (BSA) by utilizing anisotropic cadmium selenide tetrapods (CdSe TPs) in a vortex flow. The shear force on the tetrapod nanoparticles was increased by controlling the rotation rate of the vortex flow from 0 rpm to 1000 rpm. As a result, photoluminescence (PL) signals of fluorescein (FITC)-conjugated protein, anti-mouse IgG antibody-FITC and bovine serum albumin (BSA)-FITC, were reduced by 35% and 45%, respectively, indicating that NSB can be removed under vortex flow. In particular, simultaneous NSB removal and protein capture can be achieved even with mixture solutions of target antibodies and anti-mouse IgG antibodies by applying cyclic mode vortex flow on anisotropic CdSe TPs. These results demonstrate successfully that NSB can be diminished by rotating CdSe TPs to generate shear force under vortex flow. This study opens up new research protocols for utilization of anisotropic nanoparticles under vortex flow, which increases the feasibility of protein capture and non-specific proteins removal for biosensors.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/s22155929","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,8,9]],"date-time":"2022-08-09T04:16:55Z","timestamp":1660018615000},"page":"5929","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["Anisotropic CdSe Tetrapods in Vortex Flow for Removing Non-Specific Binding and Increasing Protein Capture"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"22","author":[{"given":"Hanzhe","family":"Liu","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Chemical and Biological Engineering, Korea University, Seoul 02841, Korea"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Dong June","family":"Ahn","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Chemical and Biological Engineering, Korea University, Seoul 02841, Korea"},{"name":"KU-KIST Graduate School of Converging Science and Technology, Korea University, Seoul 02841, Korea"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,8,8]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"7631","DOI":"10.1021\/cr300248x","article-title":"Recent development of sandwich assay based on the nanobiotechnologies for proteins, nucleic acids, small molecules, and ions","volume":"114","author":"Shen","year":"2014","journal-title":"Chem.
