Abstract
Considering the high probability of recurrence or metastasis after thyroidectomy, it is meaningful to develop a rapid, sensitive and specific method for monitoring thyrophyma-related biomarkers. In this study, a homogeneous electrochemiluminescence immunoassay (HO-ECLIA) coupled with magnetic beads (MBs)-based enrichment tactic was established for the determination of thyrophyma-related thyroglobulin (Tg). Importantly, owing to the abundant surface groups and good biocompatibility of carbon quantum dots (CQDs), the incorporation of CQDs onto the Tg antigen surface was achieved, resulting in the formation of Tg-encapsulated CQDs (CQDs-Tg), which served not only as an ECL probe but as a biorecognition element. Under optimal experimental conditions, the proposed platform demonstrated a wide linear range from 0.01 to 100 ng·mL-1 with a detection limit of 6.9 pg·mL-1 (S/N = 3), and performed well in real serum sample analysis against interference. Collectively, the proposed platform exhibited the rapid response, satisfactory sensitivity and specificity toward Tg in complex serum milieu, and held a considerable potential for clinical prognosis monitoring of thyrophyma.

Abstract
The D-dimer is a sensitive indicator of coagulation and fibrinolysis activation, especially valuable as a biomarker of intravascular thrombosis. Measurement of plasma D-dimer levels plays a crucial role in the diagnosis and monitoring of conditions such as deep vein thrombosis, pulmonary embolism, and disseminated intravascular coagulation. A variety of immunoassays, including enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays, latex-enhanced immunoturbidimetric assays, whole-blood aggregation analysis, and immunochromatography assays, are widely used in clinical settings to determine D-dimer levels. However, the results obtained from different D-dimer assays vary significantly. These assays exhibit intra-method coefficients of variation ranging from 6.4% to 17.7%, and the measurement discrepancies among different assays can be as high as 20-fold. The accuracy and reliability of D-dimer testing cannot be guaranteed due to the lack of an internationally endorsed reference measurement system (including reference materials and reference measurement procedures), which may lead to misdiagnosis and underdiagnosis, limiting its full clinical application. In this review, we present an in-depth analysis of clinical D-dimer testing, summarizing the existing challenges, the current state of metrology, and progress towards harmonization. We also review the latest advancements in D-dimer detection techniques, which include mass spectrometry and electrochemical and optical immunoassays. By comparing the basic principles, the definition of the measurand, and analytical performance of these methods, we provide an outlook on the potential improvements in D-dimer clinical testing.

Abstract
D-dimer is a very important biomarker about sepsis, pulmonary thromboembolism and atherosclerosis, thus designing effective and sensitive method for its detection is of great significance. Herein, by synthesizing β-cyclodextrin-carbon nanotube nanohybrid (CNTs-CD) as the carrier to assemble the initial antibody (Ab1) of D-dimer, immobilizing secondary antibody (Ab2) and sulfydryl ferrocene (Fc) on the nanogold (Au) particles surface as the signaling amplifier (Ab2-Au-Fc), a low cost, simple, sensitive and effective sandwich-like electrochemical immunosensing (SEI) platform of D-dimer was proposed in this work for the first time. Briefly, CNTs shows large specific area and superior electroconductivity, and CD provides high host guest recognition ability that could bound with Ab1; meanwhile, the Fc probe offers stable current response which are proportionable positively to the level of D-dimer. Under the best conditions, the designed SEI platform exhibits prominent analytical performances for D-dimer: low detection limit of 3.0 ng mL-1 and large linearity of 10.0-800.0 ng mL-1. In addition, the selectivity, stability and reproducibility as well as real applications of the proposed SEI assay were evaluated and the obtained results are satisfactory.

Abstract
A novel point-of-care testing (POCT) method for the determination of proteases was developed for the first time using a designed disposable capillary-fill device based on the cleavage of electrogenerated chemiluminescence (ECL)-label-tagged peptide probes and enabling elimination of the light-shielding from the magnetic beads (MBs). As a proof-of-principle, prostate-specific antigen (PSA) was taken as a model analyte, and streptavidin-coated magnetic beads bound with ruthenium-complex-tagged specific peptide (biotin-HSSKLQK) were utilized as MB ECL probes. The capillary-fill device was designed to be divided into a reaction zone and detection zone. In the reaction zone, the bio-cleavage reaction between the PSA analyte with the peptide on the surface of the MB ECL probes occurred, while in the detection zone, ECL emission was produced by a screen-printed carbon electrode, Ag/AgCl reference electrode and carbon counter electrode. When the analyte PSA was introduced into the suspension of MB ECL probes in the reaction zone of the device, biocleavage of the peptide occurred, and the cleaved Ru1 part was released from the surface of the MB ECL probes. The capillary-filled device was tilted 90°, and with the aid of gravity, the solution containing the released Ru1 part flowed to the surface of the working electrode in the detection region of the device, while the MB ECL probes were fixed in the reaction zone by an external magnet. PSA can be determined by the ECL emission from the released Ru1 part in the presence of the co-reactant tri-n-propylamine at the detection zone. Under the optimal conditions, the developed ECL method showed a low detection limit of 0.12 ng mL-1 for PSA. This work demonstrates that the developed ECL biosensing approach can eliminate the MB light-shielding effect and quantify proteases with high sensitivity and selectivity, which could be easily extended to POCT-based ECL biosensing for other proteases.

Abstract
This work reports washing-free electrogenerated chemiluminescence (ECL) magnetic microbiosensors based on target assistant proximity hybridization (TAPH) for multiple protein biomarkers for the first time. As a principle-of-proof, alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) was chosen as a model analyte, and biotin-DNA1 bound streptavidin-coated magnetic microbeads (MMB@SA⋅biotin-DNA1) were designed as the universal capture MMB, while the corresponding two antibodies tagged with DNA2 or DNA3 were utilized as hybrid recognition probes, and ruthenium complex-tagged DNA4-10A was designed as a universal ECL signal probe. When the capture MMB was added into the mixture solution (containing the analyte, hybrid recognition probes, signal probe and tri-n-propylamine), biocomplexes were formed on the MMB. After the resulting MMB was efficiently brought to the surface of a magnetic glassy carbon electrode (MGCE), ECL measurement was performed without a washing step, resulting in an increase in the ECL intensity. A model for ECL measuring the second-order rate constants of hybridization reactions on MMB was derived. It was found that the rate constants for hybridization reactions on MMB in rotating mode are 1.6-fold higher than those in shaking mode, and a suitable DNA length of the signal probe can improve the signal-to-noise ratio. The washing-free ECL method was developed for the determination of AFP with a much lower detection limit (LOD) of 0.04 ng mL-1. The developed flexible strategy has been extended to determine D-dimer with an LOD of 0.1 ng mL-1 and myoglobinglobin with an LOD of 1.1 ng mL-1. This work demonstrated that the proposed strategy of ECL TAPH on MMB at MGCE is a washing-free and flexible promising strategy, and can be extended to qualify other multiple protein biomarkers in real clinical assays.

Performance enhancement of electrochemiluminescence magnetic microbiosensors by using double magnetic field actuation for cancer biomarkers and exosomes. Talanta 2023; 259:124485.

Abstract
This work reports the performance enhancement strategies on magnetic beads (MBs)-based electrochemiluminescence (ECL) platforms by using double magnetic field actuation of the ECL magnetic microbiosensors (MMbiosensors) for highly sensitive determination of cancer biomarker and exosomes. To obtain the high sensitivity and reproducibility of the ECL MMbiosensors, a series of strategies have been developed including replacing a conventional photomultiplier tube (PMT) with a diamagnetic PMT, replacing the stacked ring-disc magnets with circular-disc magnets lain-in glassy carbon electrode, adding a pre-concentration process of MBs using external magnet actuation. For fundamental research, the ECL MBs taken as the substitute of ECL MMbiosensors were prepared by binding biotinylated DNA tagged with Ru(bpy)32+ derivative (Ru1) to streptavidin-coated MB(MB@SA) were which showed that the developed strategies can enhance 45-fold sensitivity. Importantly, the developed MBs-based ECL platform was estimated by determination of prostate specific antigen (PSA) and exosomes. For PSA, MB@SA•biotin-Ab1(PSA) was taken as the capture probe and Ru1-labeled Ab2 (PSA) was done as ECL probe, while for exosomes, MB@SA•biotin-aptamer (CD63) was taken as the capture probe and Ru1-labeled Ab (CD9) was done as the ECL probe. The experiment results showed that the developed strategies can enhance 33-fold sensitivity of ECL MMbiosensors for PSA and exosomes. The detection limit is 0.28 ng mL-1 for PSA and 4.9 × 102 particle mL-1 for exosomes. This work demonstrated that a series of proposed magnetic field actuation strategies greatly increase the sensitivity of the ECL MMbiosensors. The developed strategies can be expanded to MBs-based ECL and electrochemical biosensors for clinical analysis with greater sensitivity.

Abstract
Smartphone-enabled microfluidic chemiluminescence immunoassay is a promising portable system for point-of-care (POC) biosensing applications. However, due to the rather faint emitted light in such a limited sample volume, it is still difficult to reach the clinically accepted range when the smartphone serves as a standalone detector. Besides, the multiple separation and washing steps during sample preparation hinder the immunoassay's applications for POC usage. Herein, we proposed a novel acoustic streaming tweezers-enabled microfluidic immunoassay, where the probe particles' purification, reaction, and sensing were simply achieved on the same chip at continuous-flow conditions. The dedicatedly designed high-speed microscale vortexes not only enable dynamic trapping and washing of the probe particles on-demand but also enhance the capture efficiency of the heterogeneous particle-based immunoassay through active mixing during trapping. The enriched probe particles and enhanced biomarker capture capability increase the local chemiluminescent light intensity and enable direct capture of the immunobinding signal by a regular smartphone camera. The system was tested for prostate-specific antigen (PSA) sensing both in buffer and serum, where a limit of detection of 0.2 ng/mL and a large dynamic response range from 0.3 to 10 ng/mL using only 10 μL of sample were achieved in a total assay time of less than 15 min. With the advantages of on-chip integration of sample preparation and detection and high sensing performance, the developed POC platform could be applied for many on-site diagnosis applications.

Abstract
This work reports a gold nanoelectrode ensembles (Au-NEE) platform taken as a disposable electrogenerated chemiluminescence (ECL) platform with immunomagnetic microbeads for ECL immunoassays for the first time. The peak-shaped voltammograms were obtained at the Au-NEE, attributed to the total diffusional overlap. The ECL intensity at Au-NEE was 12.9 folds in the Ru(bpy)32+-tri-n-propylamine (TPA) ECL system and 19.6 folds in the luminol-H2O2 system, compared with that at the Au macroelectrode using the normalized active area of the electrodes, mainly attributed to the diffusion overlap of the Au-NEE and the edge effect of the individual gold nanodisks of the Au-NEE. The ECL immunoassay on the Au-NEE platform with magnetic microbeads for the determination of cancer biomarkers was developed. Carbohydrate antigen 19-9 (CA 19-9) was chosen as a model analyte while CA 19-9 antibody on the magnetic microbeads was taken as the capture probe, and ruthenium complex-labeled CA 19-9 antibody was used as the signal probe. A "sandwich" bioconjugates on the magnetic beads were transferred onto the ECL platform, and then the ECL measurements were performed in TPA solution. The developed method showed that the ECL peak intensity was directly in proportion to the concentration of CA 19-9 in the range from 0.5 to 20 U/mL with a limit of detection of 0.4 U/mL. This work demonstrates that the Au-NEE can be employed as a useful disposable ECL platform with the merits of cheapness, low nonspecific adsorption and practical application. The proposed approach will open a new avenue in the point-of-care test for the determination of protein biomarkers.
