Overview
Combining glycobiology and nanomaterials, CD BioGlyco provides specialized Glyconanotechnology-based Biosensor Development services. Particularly in pathogenic bacteria and toxin detection, our sensors utilize the unique properties of glyconanotechnology to efficiently and sensitively identify and capture target pathogens. Based on the comprehensive GlycoNano™ Platform, we offer highly accurate and sensitive pathogenic bacteria and toxin sensor development services.
Your Trusted Pathogenic Bacteria and Toxin Sensor Development Partner
Carbohydrate Selection
- Due to the strong selective recognition affinity of pathogenic bacterial surface lectins for carbohydrates, it is possible to obtain better results in isolating and enriching pathogenic bacteria using sugar-based modified magnetic nanoparticles or microspheres. Our company offers these types of carbohydrate-based pathogenic bacteria and toxin sensor development below.
- Our lab commonly uses testing methods that include scanning electron microscope (SEM), colorimetry, mass spectrometry (MS), visible spectrum, microarray, fluorescence, quartz crystal microbalance (QCM), square wave voltammetry (SWV), electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), surface plasmon resonance (SPR), and confocal fluorescence microscopy (CLSM) imaging.

Sensor Development
For specific pathogenic bacteria and toxins, we offer glyconanobiosensor development services including design, synthesis, testing, and optimization services.
- Our researchers offer microfluidic chip preparation with integrated microelectrodes and design and prepare nanomaterials on the microelectrode surface. We immobilize carbohydrates on its surface to form a carbohydrate-based nanosensing interface.
- To better mimic physiological environments, we offer selective recognition tests and studies of the pathogenic bacteria-sugar interface by EIS.
- We offer testing and evaluation services for the anti-adhesion efficacy of different carbohydrates to optimize biosensors.
Nano-Biosensors for the Detection of Pathogenic Bacteria and Toxin
For the synthesized nano-biosensors, we provide professional pathogenic bacteria and toxin detection services including but not limited to electrochemical, surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS), colorimetric, and fluorescence detection. Our company offers a multi-modality-based assay service to help clients screen pathogenic bacteria and toxins quickly and accurately.

Results: In this study, the researchers provide new insights into the mechanism of carbohydrate-mediated adhesion processes. Carbohydrate scaffolds functionalized with complex glycoconjugate units serve as model systems for simulating cellular glycocalyxes or for recognizing and analyzing the binding processes of carbohydrate-binding proteins. Adhesion studies with soft hydrogel-based probes have shown that material parameters such as scaffold stiffness strongly influence carbohydrate interactions. These systems can be used as tools for selective capture of proteins, cells, or bacteria.
Frequently Asked Questions
- What pathogenic bacteria are sensors typically used to detect?
The sensors offered by our company can be used to detect Salmonella typhimurium, Campylobacter jejuni, Escherichia coli, Listeria monocytogens, Clostridium botulinum, Staphylococcus aureus, Shigella, Vibrio vulnificus, Vibrio cholera, Vibrio parahaemolyticus, Yersinia enterocolitica.
