Abstract
Dietary oils─rich in omega-3, -6, and -9 fatty acids─exhibit critical impacts on health parameters such as cardiovascular function, bodily inflammation, and neurological development. There has emerged a need for low-cost, accessible method to assess dietary oil consumption and its health implications. Existing methods typically require specialized, complex equipment and extensive sample preparation steps, rendering them unsuitable for home use. Addressing this gap, herein, we study passive wireless, biocompatible biosensors that can be used to monitor dietary oils directly from foods either prepared or cooked in oil. This design uses broad-coupled split ring resonators interceded with porous silk fibroin biopolymer (requiring only food-safe materials, such as aluminum foil and biopolymer). These porous biopolymer films absorb oils at rates proportional to their viscosity/fatty acid composition and whose response can be measured wirelessly without any microelectronic components touching food. The engineering and mechanism of such sensors are explored, alongside their ability to measure the oil presence and fatty acid content directly from foods. Its simplicity, portability, and inexpensiveness are ideal for emerging needs in precision nutrition─such sensors may empower individuals to make informed dietary decisions based on direct-from-food measurements.

Nat Commun 2024; 15:4035. [PMID: 38740742 PMCID: PMC11091083 DOI: 10.1038/s41467-024-48294-1] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/02/2024] [Accepted: 04/26/2024] [Indexed: 05/16/2024] Open
Abstract
Rapid and accurate detection of respiratory virus aerosols is highlighted for virus surveillance and infection control. Here, we report a wireless immunoassay technology for fast (within 10 min), on-site (wireless and battery-free), and sensitive (limit of detection down to fg/L) detection of virus antigens in aerosols. The wireless immunoassay leverages the immuno-responsive hydrogel-modulated radio frequency resonant sensor to capture and amplify the recognition of virus antigen, and flexible readout network to transduce the immuno bindings into electrical signals. The wireless immunoassay achieves simultaneous detection of respiratory viruses such as severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2, influenza A H1N1 virus, and respiratory syncytial virus for community infection surveillance. Direct detection of unpretreated clinical samples further demonstrates high accuracy for diagnosis of respiratory virus infection. This work provides a sensitive and accurate immunoassay technology for on-site virus detection and disease diagnosis compatible with wearable integration.

SMALL (WEINHEIM AN DER BERGSTRASSE, GERMANY) 2023; 19:e2207889. [PMID: 36899491 DOI: 10.1002/smll.202207889] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/16/2022] [Revised: 02/10/2023] [Indexed: 06/15/2023]
Abstract
Printed flexible electronics have emerged as versatile functional components of wearable intelligent devices that bridge the digital information networks with biointerfaces. Recent endeavors in plant wearable sensors provide real-time and in situ insights to study phenotyping traits of crops, whereas monitoring of ethylene, the fundamental phytohormone, remains challenging due to the lack of flexible and scalable manufacturing of plant wearable ethylene sensors. Here the all-MXene-printed flexible radio frequency (RF) resonators are presented as plant wearable sensors for wireless ethylene detection. The facile formation of additive-free MXene ink enables rapid, scalable manufacturing of printed electronics, demonstrating decent printing resolution (2.5% variation), ≈30000 S m-1 conductivity and mechanical robustness. Incorporation of MXene-reduced palladium nanoparticles (MXene@PdNPs) facilitates 1.16% ethylene response at 1 ppm with 0.084 ppm limit of detection. The wireless sensor tags are attached on plant organ surfaces for in situ and continuously profiling of plant ethylene emission to inform the key transition of plant biochemistry, potentially extending the application of printed MXene electronics to enable real-time plant hormone monitoring for precision agriculture and food industrial management.
