Biosens Bioelectron 2024; 258:116315. [PMID: 38701536 DOI: 10.1016/j.bios.2024.116315] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/27/2024] [Revised: 04/11/2024] [Accepted: 04/17/2024] [Indexed: 05/05/2024]
Abstract
Research in electrochemical detection in lateral flow assays (LFAs) has gained significant momentum in recent years. The primary impetus for this surge in interest is the pursuit of achieving lower limits of detection, especially given that LFAs are the most widely employed point-of-care biosensors. Conventionally, the strategy for merging electrochemistry and LFAs has centered on the superposition of screen-printed electrodes onto nitrocellulose substrates during LFA fabrication. Nevertheless, this approach poses substantial limitations regarding scalability. In response, we have developed a novel method for the complete integration of reduced graphene oxide (rGO) electrodes into LFA strips. We employed a CO2 laser to concurrently reduce graphene oxide and pattern nitrocellulose, exposing its backing to create connection sites impervious to sample leakage. Subsequently, rGO and nitrocellulose were juxtaposed and introduced into a roll-to-roll system using a wax printer. The exerted pressure facilitated the transfer of rGO onto the nitrocellulose. We systematically evaluated several electrochemical strategies to harness the synergy between rGO and LFAs. While certain challenges persist, our rGO transfer technology presents compelling potential for setting a new standard in electrochemical LFA fabrication.

Abstract
Rapid and reliable immunosensing is undoubtedly one of the priorities in the efficient management and combat against a pandemic, as society has experienced with the SARS-CoV-2 outbreak; simple and cost-effective sensing strategies are at the forefront of these efforts. In this regard, 2D-layered MXenes hold great potential for electrochemical biosensing due to their attractive physicochemical properties. Herein, we present a V2CTx MXene-based sensing layer as an integral part of a label-free immunosensor for sensitive and selective detection of the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein. The sensor was fabricated on a supporting screen-printed carbon electrode using Nafion as an immobilizing agent for MXene and glutaraldehyde, the latter enabling effective binding of protein A for further site-oriented immobilization of anti-SARS-CoV-2 antibodies. A thorough structural analysis of the sensor architecture was carried out, and several key parameters affecting the fabrication and analytical performance of the immunosensor were investigated and optimized. The immunosensor showed excellent electroanalytical performance in combination with an impedimetric approach and exhibited a low detection limit of only 45 fM SARS-CoV-2 spike protein. Its practical applicability was successfully demonstrated by measuring the spike protein in a spiked artificial nasopharyngeal fluid sample.

Abstract
Hydrogels are of great importance for functionalizing sensors and microfluidics, and poly(ethylene glycol) dimethacrylate (PEG-DMA) is often used as a viscosifier for printable hydrogel precursor inks. In this study, 1-10 kDa PEG-DMA based hydrogels were characterized by gravimetric and electrochemical methods to investigate the diffusivity of small molecules and proteins. Swelling ratios (SRs) of 14.43-9.24, as well as mesh sizes ξ of 3.58-6.91 nm were calculated, and it was found that the SR correlates with the molar concentration of PEG-DMA in the ink (MCI) (SR = 0.1127 × MCI + 8.3256, R2 = 0.9692) and ξ correlates with the molecular weight (Mw) (ξ = 0.3382 × Mw + 3.638, R2 = 0.9451). To investigate the sensing properties, methylene blue (MB) and MB-conjugated proteins were measured on electrochemical sensors with and without hydrogel coating. It was found that on sensors with 10 kDa PEG-DMA hydrogel modification, the DPV peak currents were reduced to 92 % for MB, 73 % for MB-BSA, and 23 % for MB-IgG. To investigate the diffusion properties of MB(-conjugates) in hydrogels with 1-10 kDa PEG-DMA, diffusivity was calculated from the current equation. It was found that diffusivity increases with increasing ξ. Finally, the release of MB-BSA was detected after drying the MB-BSA-containing hydrogel, which is a promising result for the development of hydrogel-based reagent reservoirs for biosensing.

Abstract
The rising incidence and mortality rates of cancer have led to a growing need for precise and prompt early diagnostic approaches to effectively combat this disease. However, traditional methods employed for detecting tumor cells, such as histopathological and immunological techniques, are often associated with complex procedures, high analytical expenses, elevated false positive rates, and a dependence on experienced personnel. Tracking tumor markers is recognized as one of the most effective approaches for early detection and prognosis of cancer. While onco-biomarkers can also be produced in normal circumstances, their concentration is significantly elevated when tumors are present. By monitoring the levels of these markers, healthcare professionals can obtain valuable insights into the presence, progression, and response to treatment of cancer, aiding in timely diagnosis and effective management. This review aims to provide researchers with a comprehensive overview of the recent advancements in tumor markers using electrochemical immunosensors. By highlighting the latest developments in this field, researchers can gain a general understanding of the progress made in the utilization of electrochemical immunosensors for detecting tumor markers. Furthermore, this review also discusses the current limitations associated with electrochemical immunosensors and offers insights into paving the way for further improvements and advancements in this area of research.

Abstract
Norovirus (NoV) infection is one of the most common non-bacterial causes of gastroenteritis among the population worldwide. From the point of view of medical diagnostics, it is important to develop a system that would sensitively and selectively detect norovirus from a patient's sample in order to control and limit its spread. In this paper, we present a stable and sensitive NoV (mouse model) detection matrix in infected food samples. The bio-platform was made of a modified gold electrode with a self-assembled l-cysteine monolayer, covered with gold nanoparticles, a linker and an antibody specific to the VP1 surface protein of the virus. Binding of the VP1 protein to the antibody caused a decrease in the current strength confirmed by electrochemical techniques - cyclic voltammetry (CV) and differential pulse voltammetry. The reduction of the current was proportional to the concentration of NoV sample. The biosensors showed high sensitivity and linearity in a range from 1 × 10-9 to 1 × 10-18 TCID50, with the detection limit of 1 × 10-18 TCID50. CV showed a diffusion-controlled process. In addition, each modification step was confirmed by scanning electron microscopy, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, and CV. The described immunosensor showed excellent recovery values, good linearity and long-term stability, crucial parameters for biosensor construction.

Abstract
17β-Estradiol (E2) is a critical sex steroid hormone, which has significant effects on the endocrine systems of both humans and animals. E2 is also believed to play neurotrophic and neuroprotective roles in the brain. Biosensors present a powerful tool to detect E2 because of their small, efficient, and flexible design. Furthermore, Biosensors can quickly and accurately obtain detection results with only a small sampling amount, which greatly meets the detection of the environment, food safety, medicine safety, and human body. This review focuses on previous studies of biosensors for detecting E2 and divides them into non-biometric sensors, enzyme biosensors, antibody biosensors, and aptamer biosensors according to different bioreceptors. The advantages, disadvantages, and design points of various bioreceptors for E2 detection are analyzed and summarized. Additionally, applications of different bioreceptors of E2 detection are presented and highlight the field of environmental monitoring, food and medicine safety, and disease detection in recent years. Finally, the development of E2 detection by biosensor is prospected.

Electrochemical bio- and chemosensors for cancer biomarkers: Natural (with antibodies) versus biomimicking artificial (with aptamers and molecularly imprinted polymers) recognition.

Abstract
Electrochemical (EC) bio- and chemosensors are highly promising for on-chip and point-of-care testing (POST) devices. They can make a breakthrough in early cancer diagnosis. Most current EC sensors for cancer biomarkers' detection and determination use natural antibodies as recognition units. However, those quickly lose their biorecognition ability upon exposure to harsh environments, comprising extreme pH, humidity, temperature, etc. So-called "plastic antibodies," including aptamers and molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs), are hypothesized to be a smart alternative to antibodies. They have attracted the interest of the sensor research community, offering a low cost-to-performance ratio with high stability, an essential advantage toward their commercialization. Herein, we critically review recent technological advances in devising and fabricating EC bio- and chemosensors for cancer biomarkers, classifying them according to the type of recognition unit used into three categories, i.e., antibody-, aptamer-, and MIP-based EC sensors for cancer biomarkers. Each sensor fabrication strategy has been discussed, from the devising concept to cancer sensing applications, including using different innovative nanomaterials and signal transduction strategies. Moreover, employing each recognition unit in the EC sensing of cancer biomarkers has been critically compared in detail to enlighten each recognition unit's advantages, effectiveness, and limitations.

Abstract
A new conductive ink based on the addition of carbon black to a poly(vinyl alcohol) matrix is developed and investigated for electrochemical sensing and biosensing applications. The produced devices were characterized using morphological and electrochemical techniques and modified with Pd nanoparticles to enhance electrical conductivity and reaction kinetics. With the aid of chemometrics, the parameters for metal deposition were investigated and the sensor was applied to the determination of Parkinson's disease biomarkers, specifically epinephrine and α-synuclein. A linear behavior was obtained in the range 0.75 to 100 μmol L-1 of the neurotransmitter, and the device displayed a limit of detection (LOD) of 0.051 μmol L-1. The three-electrode system was then tested using samples of synthetic cerebrospinal fluid. Afterward, the device was modified with specific antibodies to quantify α-synuclein using electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. In phosphate buffer, a linear range was obtained for α-synuclein concentrations from 1.5 to 15 μg mL-1, with a calculated LOD of 0.13 μg mL-1. The proposed immunosensor was also applied to blood serum samples, and, in this case, the linear range was observed from 6.0 to 100.5 μg mL-1 of α-synuclein, with a LOD = 1.3 µg mL-1. Both linear curves attend the range for the real diagnosis, demonstrating its potential application to complex matrices.

Abstract
Electrochemical Immunosensing (EI) combines electrochemical analysis and immunology principles and is characterized by its simplicity, rapid detection, high sensitivity, and specificity. EI has become an important approach in various fields, such as clinical diagnosis, disease prevention and treatment, environmental monitoring, and food safety. However, EI multi-component detection still faces two major bottlenecks: first, the lack of cost-effective and portable detection platforms; second, the difficulty in eliminating batch differences and accurately decoupling signals from multiple analytes. With the gradual maturation of biochip technology, high-throughput analysis and portable detection utilizing the advantages of miniaturized chips, high sensitivity, and low cost have become possible. Meanwhile, Artificial Intelligence (AI) enables accurate decoupling of signals and enhances the sensitivity and specificity of multi-component detection. We believe that by evaluating and analyzing the characteristics, benefits, and linkages of EI, biochip, and AI technologies, we may considerably accelerate the development of EI multi-component detection. Therefore, we propose three specific prospects: first, AI can enhance and optimize the performance of the EI biochips, addressing the issue of multi-component detection for portable platforms. Second, the AI-enhanced EI biochips can be widely applied in home care, medical healthcare, and other areas. Third, the cross-fusion and innovation of EI, biochip, and AI technologies will effectively solve key bottlenecks in biochip detection, promoting interdisciplinary development. However, challenges may arise from AI algorithms that are difficult to explain and limited data access. Nevertheless, we believe that with technological advances and further research, there will be more methods and technologies to overcome these challenges.

Abstract
Tremendous progress has been made towards achieving tight glycaemic control in individuals with diabetes mellitus through the use of frequent or continuous glucose measurements. However, in patients who require insulin, accurate dosing must consider multiple factors that affect insulin sensitivity and modulate insulin bolus needs. Accordingly, an urgent need exists for frequent and real-time insulin measurements to closely track the dynamic blood concentration of insulin during insulin therapy and guide optimal insulin dosing. Nevertheless, traditional centralized insulin testing cannot offer timely measurements, which are essential to achieving this goal. This Perspective discusses the advances and challenges in moving insulin assays from traditional laboratory-based assays to frequent and continuous measurements in decentralized (point-of-care and home) settings. Technologies that hold promise for insulin testing using disposable test strips, mobile systems and wearable real-time insulin-sensing devices are discussed. We also consider future prospects for continuous insulin monitoring and for fully integrated multisensor-guided closed-loop artificial pancreas systems.

Abstract
State-of-the-art clinical detection methods typically involve standard immunoassay methods, requiring specialized equipment and trained personnel. This impedes their use in the Point-of-Care (PoC) environment, where ease of operation, portability, and cost efficiency are prioritized. Small, robust electrochemical biosensors provide a means with which to analyze biomarkers in biological fluids in PoC environments. Optimized sensing surfaces, immobilization strategies, and efficient reporter systems are key to improving biosensor detection systems. The signal transduction and general performance of electrochemical sensors are determined by surface properties that link the sensing element to the biological sample. We analyzed the surface characteristics of screen-printed and thin-film electrodes using scanning electron microscopy and atomic force microscopy. An enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was adapted for use in an electrochemical sensor. The robustness and reproducibility of the developed electrochemical immunosensor were investigated by detecting Neutrophil Gelatinase-Associated Lipocalin (NGAL) in urine. The sensor showed a detection limit of 1 ng/mL, a linear range of 3.5-80 ng/mL, and a CV% of 8%. The results demonstrate that the developed platform technology is suitable for immunoassay-based sensors on either screen-printed or thin-film gold electrodes.

Abstract
Hypochlorous acid (HClO) and derivative ionic form (ClO-) are significant components of reactive oxygen species, and thus various diseases are correlatively related to the concentration of ClO-. Recently, paper-based indicators have been confirmed to be efficient strategy for sensing hazardous and noxious substances. However, most of these materials can only achieve qualitative detection of the substrates. Herein, an extremely simple manufacturing strategy was proposed to convert commonly-used paper into nano-engineered fluorescent biomass-based platform (CMJL-FP) integrated with on-demand self-assembled colorimetric and ratiometric fluorescence sensor (CMJL) for rapid ClO- quantitative detection in organisms or water sources using smartphones. The CMJL exhibited a highly selective and sensitive ratiometric response to ClO- at a low detection limit (LOD = 92.6 nM). The associating interactions between the fluorescence nano-particles and micro-nano fibers of CMJL-FP ensure good-stability during ClO- detection. It has been experimentally demonstrated that CMJL-FP allows one to realize the rapid quantitative detection of ClO- ions in living cells and large-scale water sources by using color recognition software as part of a simple smartphone. Therefore, integrating the proposed fluorescent paper with smartphones provides an effective, sustainable, cheap and conceptual strategy for quantitative detection of hazardous and noxious substances in organisms and environments.

Abstract
Foodborne diseases have arisen due to the globalization of industry and the increase in urban population, which has led to increased demand for food and has ultimately endangered the quality of food. Foodborne diseases have caused some of the most common public health problems and led to significant social and economic issues worldwide. Food quality and safety are affected by microbial contaminants, growth-promoting feed additives (β-agonists and antibiotics), food allergens, and toxins in different stages from harvesting to storage and marketing of products. Electrochemical biosensors, due to their reduced size and portability, low cost, and low consumption of reagents and samples, can quickly provide valuable quantitative and qualitative information about food contamination. In this regard, using nanomaterials can increase the sensitivity of the assessment. Magnetic nanoparticle (MNP)-based biosensors, especially, are receiving significant attention due to their low-cost production, physicochemical stability, biocompatibility, and eco-friendly catalytic characteristics, along with magnetic, biological, chemical and electronic sensing features. Here, we provide a review on the application of iron-based magnetic nanoparticles in the electrochemical sensing of food contamination. The types of nanomaterials used in order to improve the methods and increase the sensitivity of the methods have been discussed. Then, we stated the advantages and limitations of each method and tried to state the research gaps for each platform/method. Finally, the role of microfluidic and smartphone-based methods in the rapid detection of food contamination is stated. Then, various techniques like label-free and labelled regimes for the sensitive monitoring of food contamination were surveyed. Next, the critical role of antibody, aptamer, peptide, enzyme, DNA, cells and so on for the construction of specific bioreceptors for individual and simultaneous recognition by electrochemical methods for food contamination were discussed. Finally, integration of novel technologies such as microfluidic and smartphones for the identification of food contaminations were investigated. It is important to point out that, in the last part of each sub-section, attained results of different reports for each strategy were compared and advantages/limitations were mentioned.

Abstract
This research work explains the development of an electrochemical immunosensor for the selective recognition of SNCA in human biofluids. An innovative protocol was proposed for the green synthesis of gold nanoparticle-supported dimethylglyoxime (AuNPs@DMGO) using one-step electrogeneration method. Also, the application of AuNPs@DMGO for the sensitive quantification of α-Synuclein (SNCA) protein and its biomedical analysis. So, an innovative sandwich immunosensor was designed for the sensitive identification of SNCA antigen in an aqueous solution. The gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) were decorated on the surface of the glassy carbon electrode by chronoamperometry technique to provide appropriate immobilization surface with a large number of active sites for immobilization of specific biotinylated antibody (Ab1) and against SNCA protein. Then, the sandwich-type immuno-platform was completed by the attachment of secondary antibody (HRP conjugated Ab [Ab2]) to the primary complexes on the surface of the electrode. For the first time, α-Synuclein protein was measured with an acceptable linear range of 4-64 ng/mL and a lower limit of quantification of 4 ng/mL. Benefiting from the simplicity and high sensitivity, the proposed method shows a potential of employment in clinical applications and high-throughput screening of Parkinson's disease using POC.

Abstract
In recent years, several efforts have been made to develop selective, sensitive, fast response, and miniaturized immunosensors with improved performance for the monitoring and screening of analytes in several matrices, significantly expanding the use of this technology in a broad range of applications. However, one of the main technical challenges in developing immunosensors is overcoming the complexity of binding antibodies (Abs) to the sensor surface. Most immobilizing approaches lead to a random orientation of Abs, resulting in lower binding site density and immunoaffinity. In this context, supramolecular chemistry has emerged as a suitable surface modification tool to achieve the preorganization of artificial receptors and to improve the functional properties of self-assembled monolayers. Herein, a supramolecular chemistry/nanotechnology-based platform was conceived to develop sensitive label-free electrochemical immunosensors, by using a resorcarene macrocycle as an artificial linker for the oriented antibody immobilization. To this aim, a water-soluble bifunctional resorc[4]arene architecture (RW) was rationally designed and synthesized to anchor gold-coated magnetic nanoparticles (Au@MNPs) and to maximize the amount of the active immobilized antibody (Ab) in the proper "end-on" orientation. The resulting supramolecular chemistry-modified nanoparticles, RW@Au@MNPs, were deposited onto graphite screen printed electrodes which were then employed to immobilize three different Abs. Furthermore, an immunosensor for atrazine (ATZ) analysis was realized and characterized by the differential pulse voltammetry technique to demonstrate the validity of the developed biosensing platform as a proof of concept for electrochemical immunosensors. The RW-based immunosensor improved AbATZ loading on Au@MNPs and sensitivity toward ATZ by almost 1.5 times compared to the random platform. Particularly, the electrochemical characterization of the developed immunosensor displays a linearity range toward ATZ within 0.05-1.5 ng/mL, a limit of detection of 0.011 ng/ml, and good reproducibility and stability. The immunosensor was tested by analyzing spiked fortified water samples with a mean recovery ranging from 95.7 to 108.4%. The overall good analytical performances of this immunodevice suggest its application for the screening and monitoring of ATZ in real matrices. Therefore, the results highlighted the successful application of the resorc[4]arene-based sensor design strategy for developing sensitive electrochemical immunosensors with improved analytical performance and simplifying the Ab immobilization procedure.

Abstract
Iron is one of the trace elements that plays a vital role in the human immune system, especially against variants of SARS-CoV-2 virus. Electrochemical methods are convenient for the detection due to the simplicity of instrumentation available for different analyses. The square wave voltammetry (SQWV) and differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) are useful electrochemical voltammetric techniques for diverse types of compounds such as heavy metals. The basic reason is the increased sensitivity by lowering the capacitive current. In this study, machine learning models were improved to classify concentrations of an analyte depending on the voltammograms obtained alone. SQWV and DPV were used to quantify the concentrations of ferrous ions (Fe+ 2 ) in potassium ferrocyanide (K4 Fe(CN)6 ), validated by machine learning models for the data classifications. The greatest classifier algorithms models Backpropagation Neural Networks, Gaussian Naive Bayes, Logistic Regression, K-Nearest Neighbors Algorithm, K-Means clustering, and Random Forest were used as data classifiers, based on the data sets obtained from the measured chemical. Once competed to other algorithms models used previously for the data classification, ours get greater accuracy, maximum accuracy of 100% was obtained for each analyte in 25 s for the datasets.

Abstract
Rapid transmission and high mortality rates caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus showed that the best way to fight against the pandemic was through rapid, accurate diagnosis in parallel with vaccination. In this context, several research groups around the world have endeavored to develop new diagnostic methods due to the disadvantages of the gold standard method, reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR), in terms of cost and time consumption. Electrochemical and bioelectrochemical platforms have been important tools for overcoming the limitations of conventional diagnostic platforms, including accuracy, accessibility, portability, and response time. In this review, we report on several electrochemical sensors and biosensors developed for SARS-CoV-2 detection, presenting the concepts, fabrication, advantages, and disadvantages of the different approaches. The focus is devoted to highlighting the recent progress of electrochemical devices developed as next-generation field-deployable analytical tools as well as guiding future researchers in the manufacture of devices for disease diagnosis.

Abstract
In this work, a novel sandwich-type electrochemical immunosensor was developed for the quantitative detection of the carcinoembryonic antigen, an important tumor marker in clinical tests. The capture antibodies were immobilized on the surface of a gold disk electrode, while detection antibodies were attached to redox-tagged single-walled carbon nanohorns/thionine/AuNPs. Both types of antibody immobilization were carried out through Au-S bonds using the novel photochemical immobilization technique that ensures control over the orientation of the antibodies. The electroactive SWCNH/Thi/AuNPs nanocomposite worked as a signal tag to carry out both the detection of carcinoembryonic antigen and the amplification of the detection signal. The current response was monitored by differential pulse voltammetry. A clear dependence of the thionine redox peak was observed as a function of the carcinoembryonic antigen concentration. A linear detection range from 0.001-200 ng/mL and a low detection limit of 0.1385 pg/mL were obtained for this immunoassay. The results showed that carbon nanohorns represent a promising matrix for signal amplification in sandwich-type electrochemical immune assays working as a conductive and binding matrix with easy and versatile modification routes to antibody and redox tag immobilization, which possesses great potential for clinical diagnostics of CEA and other biomarkers.

Abstract
Though the bitter global pandemic posed a severe public health threat, it set an unprecedented stage for different research teams to present various technologies for detecting SARS-CoV-2, providing a rare and hard-won lesson for one to comprehensively survey the core experimental aspects in developing pathogens electrochemical biosensors. Apart from collecting all the published biosensor studies, we focused on the effects and consequences of using different receptors, such as antibodies, aptamers, ACE 2, and MIPs, which are one of the core topics of developing a pathogen biosensor. In addition, we tried to find an appropriate and distinctive application scenario (e.g., wastewater-based epidemiology) to maximize the advantages of using electrochemical biosensors to detect pathogens. Based on the enormous amount of information from those published studies, features that fit and favor wastewater pathogen detection can be picked up and integrated into a specific strategy to perform quantitative measurements in wastewater samples.

Abstract
The human brain and central nervous system (CNS) present unique challenges in drug development for neurological diseases. One major obstacle is the blood-brain barrier (BBB), which hampers the effective delivery of therapeutic molecules into the brain while protecting it from blood-born neurotoxic substances and maintaining CNS homeostasis. For BBB research, traditional in vitro models rely upon Petri dishes or Transwell systems. However, these static models lack essential microenvironmental factors such as shear stress and proper cell-cell interactions. To this end, organ-on-a-chip (OoC) technology has emerged as a new in vitro modeling approach to better recapitulate the highly dynamic in vivo human brain microenvironment so-called the neural vascular unit (NVU). Such BBB-on-a-chip models have made substantial progress over the last decade, and concurrently there has been increasing interest in modeling various neurological diseases such as Alzheimer's disease and Parkinson's disease using OoC technology. In addition, with recent advances in other scientific technologies, several new opportunities to improve the BBB-on-a-chip platform via multidisciplinary approaches are available. In this review, an overview of the NVU and OoC technology is provided, recent progress and applications of BBB-on-a-chip for personalized medicine and drug discovery are discussed, and current challenges and future directions are delineated.

BIOSENSORS 2022; 12:bios12070473. [PMID: 35884276 PMCID: PMC9312918 DOI: 10.3390/bios12070473] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/22/2022] [Revised: 06/20/2022] [Accepted: 06/21/2022] [Indexed: 05/16/2023]
Abstract
The development of precise and efficient diagnostic tools enables early treatment and proper isolation of infected individuals, hence limiting the spread of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). The standard diagnostic tests used by healthcare workers to diagnose severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection have some limitations, including longer detection time, the need for qualified individuals, and the use of sophisticated bench-top equipment, which limit their use for rapid SARS-CoV-2 assessment. Advances in sensor technology have renewed the interest in electrochemical biosensors miniaturization, which provide improved diagnostic qualities such as rapid response, simplicity of operation, portability, and readiness for on-site screening of infection. This review gives a condensed overview of the current electrochemical sensing platform strategies for SARS-CoV-2 detection in clinical samples. The fundamentals of fabricating electrochemical biosensors, such as the chosen electrode materials, electrochemical transducing techniques, and sensitive biorecognition molecules, are thoroughly discussed in this paper. Furthermore, we summarised electrochemical biosensors detection strategies and their analytical performance on diverse clinical samples, including saliva, blood, and nasopharyngeal swab. Finally, we address the employment of miniaturized electrochemical biosensors integrated with microfluidic technology in viral electrochemical biosensors, emphasizing its potential for on-site diagnostics applications.

Abstract
Rapid and reliable detection of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) antibody can provide immunological evidence in addition to nucleic acid test for the early diagnosis and on-site screening of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). All-solid-state biosensor capable of rapid, quantitative SARS-CoV-2 antibody testing is still lacking. Herein, we propose an electronic labelling strategy of protein molecules and demonstrate SARS-CoV-2 protein biosensor employing colloidal quantum dots (CQDs)-modified electrode. The feature current peak corresponding to the specific binding reaction of SARS-CoV-2 antigen and antibody proteins was observed for the first time. The unique charging and discharging effect depending on the alternating voltage applied was ascribed to the quantum confinement, Coulomb blockade and quantum tunneling effects of quantum dots. CQDs-modified electrode could recognize the specific binding reaction between antigen and antibody and then transduce it into significant electrical current. In the case of serum specimens from COVID-19 patient samples, the all-solid-state protein biosensor provides quantitative analysis of SARS-CoV-2 antibody with correlation coefficient of 93.8% compared to enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) results. It discriminates patient and normal samples with accuracy of about 90%. The results could be read within 1 min by handheld testing system prototype. The sensitive and specific protein biosensor combines the advantages of rapidity, accuracy, and convenience, facilitating the implement of low-cost, high-throughput immunological diagnostic technique for clinical lab, point-of-care testing (POCT) as well as home-use test.

Abstract
In this present study, an amperometric immunosensor was developed based on disposable screen-printed carbon electrode (SPCE) for specific and sensitive detection of SARS-CoV-2 S1 protein. Anti-SARS-CoV-2 S1 monoclonal antibody was firstly immobilized onto the electrode surface. Then, the sandwich complex was formed by addition of S1 protein, secondary antibody and HRP-IgG, respectively. Chronoamperometry measurements were done in the presence of TMB mediator and the detection of SARS-CoV-2 S1 protein was performed by using 10 μL sample. The limit of detection (LOD) was found to be 0.19 ng/mL (equals to 24.7 amol in 10 μL sample) in the linear range of 0.5–10 ng/mL obtained in buffer medium. The applicability of this assay was investigated in the linear range of 0.5–3 ng/mL S1 protein in artificial saliva medium with the LOD as 0.13 ng/mL (equals to 16.9 amol in 10 μL sample). The selectivity study was examined in the presence of Hemagglutinin antigen (HA) in both mediums; buffer and artificial saliva while resulting with the successful discrimination between S1 protein and HA. The one of ultimate goals of our study is to present the possible implementation of this assay to point of care (POC) analysis. Under this aim, this assay was performed in combination with a portable device that is the commercial electrochemical analyzer. Amperometric detection of S1 protein in the range of 0.5–5 ng/mL was also successfully performed in artificial saliva medium with a resulting LOD as 0.15 ng/mL (equals to 19.5 amol in 10 μL sample). In addition, a selectivity study was similarly carried out by portable device.

Abstract
Organophosphates and carbamates pesticides are widely used to increase crop production globally causing a threat to human health and the environment. A variety of pesticides are applied during different stages of vegetable production. Therefore, monitoring the presence of pesticide residues in food and soil has great relevance to sensitive pesticide detection through distinct determination methods that are urgently required. Conventional techniques for the detection of pesticides have several limitations that can be overcome by the development of highly sensitive, fast, reliable and easy-to-use electrochemical biosensors. Herein, we describe the types of biosensors with the main focus on electrochemical biosensors fabricated for the detection of OPPs and carbamates pesticides. An overview of conventional techniques employed for pesticide detection is also discussed. This review aims to provide a glance of recently developed biosensors for some common pesticides like chlorpyrifos, malathion, parathion, paraoxon, and carbaryl which are present in food and environment samples.

Abstract
Blood cancers are difficult to cure completely and frequently show a poor prognosis. Recently, prohibitin 2 (PHB2) has been shown to be a potential biomarker for blood cancers. Sandwich ELISA can be used as a reference method for quantitative analysis of PHB2; however, ELISA can be challenging for early diagnosis and continuous monitoring method due to the need for large sample volumes (25 μL <), technical expertise, complex procedure, relative high cost, and non-portability. Thus, this study developed a sensitive and time efficient electrochemical immunosensor for detecting PHB2 from a blood cancer patient. It is a simple and portable platform consisting of a disposable electrode and blood sample volume of 4 μL. The sensor uses a gold nanostructured electrode and square wave voltammetry (SWV) measurement of a horseradish peroxidase (HRP) label to amplify the electrochemical signal. The immunosensor could quantitatively detect PHB2 with high sensitivity (limit of detection [LoD] = 0.04 ng/mL) and satisfactory reproducibility (relative standard deviation [RSD] <5.2%). The sensor achieved an LoD of 0.63 ng/mL with satisfactory recovery (89.1-104.7%) and reproducibility (RSD <6.4%) with PHB2 spiked into white blood cell (WBC) lysates. When the sensor was compared to a reference ELISA to determine the PHB2 concentrations in WBC lysate samples from healthy patients and those with blood cancer, the correlation coefficient (R2) was 0.996. A 3.3-fold difference was detected in the measured PHB2 concentration between blood cancer patients and healthy individuals. Accordingly, this study suggests a sensitive and accurate analytical method for quantitatively detecting the PHB2 in blood samples.

Biocompatible graphene-zirconia nanocomposite as a cyto-safe immunosensor for the rapid detection of carcinoembryonic antigen. Sci Rep 2021; 11:22536.

Abstract
Graphene-based materials have gained remarkable attention in numerous disciplines owing to their unique electrochemical properties. Out of various hybridized nanocomposites, graphene-zirconia nanocomposite (GZ) was distinctive due to its biocompatibility. Zirconia nanoparticles serve as spacers that reduce the stacking of graphene and improve the electrochemical performance of the material. Considering that lungs and skin suffer the greatest exposure to nanoparticles, this study aimed to evaluate the cytotoxicity of the as-synthesized GZ nanocomposites on MRC5 (lung cells) and HaCaT (skin cells) via morphological observation and cell viability assay using 3-(4,5 dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-(2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide) tetrazolium (MTT). GZ-treated cells showed a comparable proliferation rate and morphology with untreated cells under microscopic evaluation. Based on MTT results, the IC50 values of GZ were > 500 µg/ml for MRC5 and HaCaT cells. The excellent biocompatibility was the supremacy of GZ over other nanocomposites applied as electrode materials in biosensors. GZ was functionalized with biolinker for the detection of carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA). The proposed immunosensor exhibited good responses towards CEA detection, with a 4.25 pg/ml LOD and correlation coefficient of R2 = 0.99 within a linear working range from 0.01 to 10 ng/ml. The performance of the immunosensor to detect CEA present in human serum was also evaluated. Good recovery of CEA was found, suggesting that the proposed immunosensor possess a high affinity to CEA even in a complex biological matrix, rendering it a promising sensing platform for real sample analysis and open a new way for the detection of cancer-associated proteins.

Abstract
For electrochemical immunosensors, inexpensive electrodes with fast redox kinetics, and simple stable methods of electrode functionalization are vital. However, many inexpensive and easy to fabricate electrodes suffer from poor redox kinetics, and functionalization can often be difficult and/or unstable. Diazonium tosylates are particularly stable soluble salts that can be useful for electrode functionalization. Recently developed thermoplastic electrodes (TPEs) have been inexpensive, moldable, and highly electroactive carbon composite materials. Herein, the synthesis and grafting of diazonium tosylate salts were optimized for modification of TPEs and used to develop the first TPE immunosensors. With diazonium tosylates, TPEs were amine functionalized either directly through grafting of p-aminophenyl diazonium salt or indirectly through grafting p-nitrophenyl diazonium salt followed by electrochemical reduction to an amine. Diazonium tosylates were synthesized in situ as a paste in 6 min. Once the reaction paste was spread over the electrodes, near monolayer coverage (1.0 ± 0.2 nmol cm-2) was achieved for p-nitrophenyl diazonium salt within 5 min. Amine functionalized electrodes were conjugated to C-reactive protein (CRP) antibodies. Antibody-modified TPEs were applied for the sensitive detection of CRP, a biomarker of cardiovascular disease using electrochemical enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISA). LODs were determined to be 2 ng mL-1 in buffer, with high selectivity against interfering species for both functionalization methods. The direct p-aminophenyl modification method had the highest sensitivity to CRP and was further tested in spiked serum with an LOD of 10 ng mL-1. This low-cost and robust TPE immunosensor platform can be easily adapted for other analytes and multiplexed detection.

Abstract
Biosensors hold great potential for revolutionizing personalized medicine and environmental monitoring. Their construction is the key factor which depends on either manufacturing techniques or robust sensing materials to improve efficacy of the device. Functional graphene is an attractive choice for transducing material due to its various advantages in interfacing with biorecognition elements. Graphene and its derivatives such as graphene oxide (GO) are thus being used extensively for biosensors for monitoring of diseases. In addition, graphene can be patterned to a variety of structures and is incorporated into biosensor devices such as microfluidic devices and electrochemical and plasmonic sensors. Among biosensing materials, GO is gaining much attention due to its easy synthesis process and patternable features, high functionality, and high electron transfer properties with a large surface area leading to sensitive point-of-use applications. Considering demand and recent challenges, this perspective review is an attempt to describe state-of-the-art biosensors based on functional graphene. Special emphasis is given to elucidating the mechanism of sensing while discussing different applications. Further, we describe the future prospects of functional GO-based biosensors for health care and environmental monitoring with a focus on additive manufacturing such as 3D printing.

Abstract
We present a novel amplification-free sandwich type platform assay for electrochemical detection of miRNA. The assay is based on T4 DNA polymerase mediated synthesis of the p53 binding DNA sequence at the 3' end of target miRNA. The resulting miRNA-DNA chimera is detected via an electrochemical sandwich hybridization assay where HRP-labelled p53 binds to its recognition sequence and an amperometric signal is generated by hydroquinone-mediated enzymatic reduction of H2O2. The limit of detection of our assay was estimated to be 22 fM with a linear dynamic range of 100 fM-1 nM. This new platform method of detecting miRNA shows superior performance to conventional electrochemical miRNA biosensors and has the potential for amplification-free analysis of miRNA with high specificity and sensitivity.

Prospects and challenges of using electrochemical immunosensors as an alternative detection method for SARS-CoV-2 wastewater-based epidemiology. THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2021; 777:146239.

Abstract
Given its potential applications in confronting the COVID-19 pandemic, wastewater-based epidemiology (WBE) has attracted tremendous attention. Developing a fast, cost-effective, and practical method for SARS-CoV-2 detection in wastewater is of great significance to facilitate future WBE development. By now, the PCR-based approach serves as the reference method and “gold standard” to detect the virus in wastewater. However, we found a trend that the PCR-based method becomes almost an unshakable choice as more and more studies were published regarding SARS-CoV-2 WBE. Of note, the importance of exploring new, alternative approaches for SARS-CoV-2 detection in wastewater should not be underestimated. In this context, the prospect of using electrochemical immunosensors as the alternative detection method was investigated in this survey. Based on the previous efforts towards different virus immunoassay studies and newly published PCR-based COVD-19 WBE works, this survey provides new insights into the electrochemical immunoassay that have been widely adopted in body fluids virus detection, along with an extensive discussion of the detection mechanism, detection performance, past performances, current efforts, and potential challenges with wastewater detection. In the end, this survey concludes that using electrochemical immunosensors to analyze SARS-CoV-2 in wastewater samples quantitatively may have better feasibility and practicability than using the conventional PCR-based approach, especially when considering its fast detection, ease of miniaturization, and potential on-site measurement.

Abstract
Interferon gamma (IFN-γ) is an important cytokine with antiviral, antibacterial, and immunosuppressive properties. It has been used as a biomarker for the early detection of several diseases, including cancer, human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), tuberculosis, and paratuberculosis. In this study, we developed an electrochemical biosensor composed of multifunctional DNA 3WJ to detect IFN-γ level with high sensitivity. Each multifunctional triple-stranded aptamer (MF-3WJ) was designed to have an IFN-γ aptamer sequence, anchoring region (thiol group), and 4C-C (cytosine-cytosine) mismatch sequence (signal generation), which could introduce silver ions. To generate the electrochemical signal, four Ag+ ions were intercalated (3wj b-3wj c) in the 4C-C mismatch sequence. MF-3WJ was assembled through the annealing step, and the assembly of MF-3WJ was confirmed by 8% tris-boric-EDTA native polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. The Au microgap electrode was manufactured to load sample volumes of 5 µL. The reliability of electrochemical biosensor measurement was established by enabling the measurement of seven samples from one Au microgap electrode. MF-3WJ was immobilized on the Au microgap electrode. Then, cyclic voltammetry and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy were performed to confirm the electrochemical properties of MF-3WJ. To test the electrochemical biosensor's ability to detect IFN-γ, the limit of detection (LOD) and selectivity tests were performed by square wave voltammetry. A linear region was observed in the concentration range of 1 pg/mL-10 ng/mL of IFN-γ. The LOD of the fabricated electrochemical biosensor was 0.67 pg/mL. In addition, for the clinical test, the LOD test was carried out for IFN-γ diluted in 10% human serum samples in the concentration range of 1 pg/mL-10 ng/mL, and the LOD was obtained at 0.42 pg/mL.

Abstract
In spite of a current increasing trend in the development of miniaturized, standalone point-of-care (PoC) biosensing platforms in the literature, the actual implementation of such systems in the field is far from being a reality although deeply needed. In the particular case of the population screenings for local or regional diseases related to specific pathogens, the diagnosis of the presence of specific antibodies could drastically modify therapies and even the organization of public policies. The aim of this work was to develop a fast, cost-effective detection method based on the manipulation of functionalized magnetic beads for an efficient diagnosis of hypersensitivity pneumonitis (HP), looking for the presence of anti-pigeon antigen antibodies (APAA) in a patient’s serum. We presented a Diagnostic Biosensor Method (DBM) in detail, with validation by comparison with a traditional high-throughput platform (ELISA assay). We also demonstrated that it was compatible with a microfluidic chip that could be eventually incorporated into a PoC for easy and broad deployment using portable optical detectors. After standardization of the different reaction steps, we constructed and validated a plastic chip that could easily be scaled to high-volume manufacturing in the future. The solution proved comparable to conventional ELISA assays traditionally performed by the clinicians in their laboratory and should be compatible with other antibody detection directly from patient samples.

Abstract
In this work, we describe an innovative methodology based on combined surface plasmon resonance (SPR) and electrochemical responses (eSPR) in the same immunoassay for screening CA 15-3 cancer biomarker with high sensitivity (and selectivity), in a very simple, label-free, accurate, and fully automated manner. Detection was achieved by performing two simple steps. In the first step, direct SPR was used to monitor CA 15-3 interaction with surface immobilized antibody. Two linear response ranges were obtained and the detection limit achieved is poor (LOD of 21 U mL-1). However, in the second detection step, electrochemical measurements at the SPR gold surface were performed to measure the decrease of redox probe peak current upon antigen-antibody interaction, providing a suitable amplification strategy to lower detection levels of CA 15-3 (LOD of 0.0998 U mL-1), without the need of additional complex and/or expensive amplification steps to enhance the sensitivity. Moreover, selectivity studies were performed against other common cancer biomarkers and the results showed that the eSPR immunosensor is selective for the CA 15-3 protein. Finally, the clinical applicability of the developed eSPR biosensing methodology was successfully applied to detect CA 15-3 in human serum samples at clinically relevant levels due to the high sensitivity of electrochemical readout. The same concept may be further extended to other proteins of interest.

Abstract
A novel electrochemical immunosensor for the detection of the important marine biotoxins domoic acid (DA) and okadaic acid (OA) was developed. The sensors used carbon black modified screen-printed electrodes (CB-SPE) obtained using a high-throughput method. The electrochemical performance and stability of CB modified SPEs and bare carbon SPEs (c-SPEs) were compared using cyclic voltammetry and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. CB-SPEs showed improved long-term (at least six months) stability and electro-catalytic properties compared with c-SPEs. The CB-SPEs were bio-functionalized with DA or OA protein-conjugates and used to develop two indirect competitive immunosensors using differential pulse voltammetry (DPV). The DPV signals obtained for the OA and DA immunosensors fitted well to four-parameter dose-response curves (R2 > 0.98) and showed excellent LODs (LOD = 1.7 ng mL-1 for DA in buffer; LOD = 1.9 ng mL-1 for DA in mussel extract; LOD = 0.15 ng mL-1 for OA in buffer; LOD = 0.18 ng mL-1 for OA in mussel extract). No significant interference of the naturally co-occurring marine toxins saxitoxin, tetrodotoxin and OA was detected for the DA immunosensor. Similarly, for the OA immunosensor saxitoxin, tetrodotoxin and DA did not cross-react and very limited interference was observed for the dinophysis toxins DTX-1, DTX-2 and DTX-3 (OA congeners). Moreover, both immunosensors remained stable after at least 25 days of storage at 4 °C. This work demonstrates the potential of affordable, mass-produced nanomaterial-modified SPEs for marine toxin detection in shellfish.

Abstract
In this work, a nanocomposite of Zr-trimesic acid MOF (MOF-808) with carbon nanotube (CNT) was synthesized through an in situ formation of MOF-808 on the activated CNT. The synthesized materials were characterized by powder X-ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy, X-ray photoluminescence spectroscopy, Brunauer-Emmett-Teller, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, and Raman spectroscopy. The protein compatible nature with high surface area and electrocatalytic ability of MOF-808 was utilized to construct an immunosensor for ultra low-level detection of the ovarian cancer biomarker, carbohydrate antigen 125 (CA 125). The mutual benefit of each constituent of the MOF-808/CNT composite was capable of producing highly enhanced electrochemical properties. A glassy carbon electrode modified with MOF-808/CNT was used as a platform to fabricate a label-free electrochemical immunosensor. The antibody binding sites of MOF-808/CNT were enriched by functionalization with streptavidin. The immunosensor exhibited two linear determination ranges of 0.001-0.1 and 0.1-30 ng·mL-1, and the calculated limit of detection was 0.5 pg·mL-1 (S/N 3). The immunosensor showed excellent reproducibility and selectivity. The patient serum sample analysis was cross-verified with the electrochemiluminescence method with a relative error of 105-110%.

Abstract
Lactobacillus brevis is the most common bacteria that causes beer spoilage. In this work, a novel electrochemical immunosensor was fabricated for ultra-sensitive determination of L. brevis. Gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) were firstly electro-deposited on the electrode surface for enhancing the electro-conductivity and specific surface area. Ionic liquid was used for improving the immobilization performance of the immunosensor. After optimization, a linear regression equation can be observed between the ∆current and concentration of L. brevis from 104 CFU/mL to 109 CFU/mL. The limit of detection can be estimated to be 103 CFU/mL.

Abstract
The recent events of outbreaks related to different respiratory viruses in the past few years, exponentiated by the pandemic caused by the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), reported worldwide caused by SARS-CoV-2, raised a concern and increased the search for more information on viruses-based diseases. The detection of the virus with high specificity and sensitivity plays an important role for an accurate diagnosis. Despite the many efforts to identify the SARS-CoV-2, the diagnosis still relays on expensive and time-consuming analysis. A fast and reliable alternative is the use of low-cost biosensor for in loco detection. This review gathers important contributions in the biosensor area regarding the most current respiratory viruses, presents the advances in the assembly of the devices and figures of merit. All information is useful for further biosensor development for the detection of respiratory viruses, such as for the new coronavirus.

Abstract
Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) is the agent responsible for the coronavirus disease of 2019 (COVID-19), which triggers lung failure, pneumonia, and multi-organ dysfunction. This enveloped, positive sense and single-stranded RNA virus can be transmitted through aerosol droplets, direct and indirect contacts. Thus, SARS-CoV-2 is highly contagious and has reached a pandemic level in a few months. Since COVID-19 has caused numerous human casualties and severe economic loss posing a global threat, the development of readily available, accurate, fast, and cost-effective diagnostic techniques in hospitals and in any places where humans spread the virus is urgently required. COVID-19 can be diagnosed by clinical findings and several laboratory tests. These tests may include virus isolation, nucleic acid-based molecular assays like real-time polymerase chain reactions, antigen or antibody-based immunological assays such as rapid immunochromatographic tests, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays, immunofluorescence techniques, and indirect fluorescent antibody techniques, electrochemical sensors, etc. However, current methods should be developed by novel approaches for sensitive, specific, and accurate diagnosis of COVID-19 cases to control and prevent this outbreak. Thus, this review will cover an overview and comparison of multiple reports and commercially available kits that include molecular tests, immunoassays, and sensor-based diagnostic methods for diagnosis of COVID-19. The pros and cons of these methods and future perspectives will be thoroughly evaluated and discussed.
