Abstract
The present paper describes a compact point of care (POC) optical device for therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM). The core of the device is a disposable plastic chip where an immunoassay for the determination of immunosuppressants takes place. The chip is designed in order to have ten parallel microchannels allowing the simultaneous detection of more than one analyte with replicate measurements. The device is equipped with a microfluidic system, which provides sample mixing with the necessary chemicals and pumping samples, reagents and buffers into the measurement chip, and with integrated thin film amorphous silicon photodiodes for the fluorescence detection. Submicrometric fluorescent magnetic particles are used as support in the immunoassay in order to improve the efficiency of the assay. In particular, the magnetic feature is used to concentrate the antibody onto the sensing layer leading to a much faster implementation of the assay, while the fluorescent feature is used to increase the optical signal leading to a larger optical dynamic change and consequently a better sensitivity and a lower limit of detection. The design and development of the whole integrated optical device are here illustrated. In addition, detection of mycophenolic acid and cyclosporine A in spiked solutions and in microdialysate samples from patient blood with the implemented device are reported.

SENSORS (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2021; 21:5432. [PMID: 34450874 PMCID: PMC8401892 DOI: 10.3390/s21165432] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/15/2021] [Revised: 08/04/2021] [Accepted: 08/07/2021] [Indexed: 12/20/2022]
Abstract
In recent years, there has been a continuously growing interest in antioxidants by both customers and food industry. The beneficial health effects of antioxidants led to their widespread use in fortified functional foods, as dietary supplements and as preservatives. A variety of analytical methods are available to evaluate the total antioxidant capacity (TAC) of food extracts and beverages. However, most of them are expensive, time-consuming, and require laboratory instrumentation. Therefore, simple, cheap, and fast portable sensors for point-of-need measurement of antioxidants in food samples are needed. Here, we describe a smartphone-based chemosensor for on-site assessment of TAC of aqueous matrices, relying on the antioxidant-induced formation of gold nanoparticles. The reaction takes place in ready-to-use analytical cartridges containing an hydrogel reaction medium preloaded with Au(III) and is monitored by using the smartphone's CMOS camera. An analytical device including an LED-based lighting system was developed to ensure uniform and reproducible illumination of the analytical cartridge. The chemosensor permitted rapid TAC measurements of aqueous samples, including teas, herbal infusions, beverages, and extra virgin olive oil extracts, providing results that correlated with those of the reference methods for TAC assessment, e.g., oxygen radical absorbance capacity (ORAC).

Abstract
CONTEXT.— The clinical applications of point-of-care testing (POCT) are gradually increasing in many health care systems. Recently, POCT devices using molecular genetic method techniques have been developed. We need to examine clinical pathways to see where POCT can be applied to improve them. OBJECTIVE.— To introduce up-to-date POCT items and equipment and to provide the content that should be prepared for clinical application of POCT. DATA SOURCES.— Literature review based on PubMed searches containing the terms point-of-care testing, clinical chemistry, diagnostic hematology, and clinical microbiology. CONCLUSIONS.— If medical resources are limited, POCT can help clinicians make quick medical decisions. As POCT technology improves and menus expand, areas where POCT can be applied will also increase. We need to understand the limitations of POCT so that it can be optimally used to improve patient management.

Developing an integrated microfluidic and miniaturized electrochemical biosensor for point of care determination of glucose in human plasma samples. Anal Bioanal Chem 2021; 413:1441-1452. [PMID: 33388843 DOI: 10.1007/s00216-020-03108-3] [Citation(s) in RCA: 12] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/10/2020] [Revised: 11/22/2020] [Accepted: 12/01/2020] [Indexed: 12/11/2022]
Abstract
A cost-effective, point of care (POC) device based on highly oriented CNT arrays was developed as an electrochemical assay for real-time and sensitive detection of glucose in complex samples. A low-cost, microcontroller-based potentiostat consisting of Arduino Due and LMP9100-EVM was developed to perform electrochemical measurements such as cyclic voltammetry (CV) and amperometry. A syringe pump based on open-source electronics was designed to direct the flow through a microfluidic chip. Vertically aligned carbon nanotube (VACNT) sensor arrays, in combination with the miniature potentiostat and the syringe pumps, were utilized as a POC device for the rapid and accurate detection of glucose. The structure and morphology of samples were characterized by field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM) and attenuated total reflectance Fourier transform infrared spectrometry (ATR-FTIR). CV as well as electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) was performed to investigate the electrochemical behavior of the electrode with respect to different diffusion regimes. The mediator-less biosensor had a limit of detection of 23 μM and sensitivity of 1462 μA mM-1 cm-2 and 1050 μA mM-1 cm-2 at the linear range of 1.2-7.8 mM and 7.8-11.2 mM, respectively. The presence of other biological compounds such as uric acid (UA) and ascorbic acid (AA) did not interfere with the detection of glucose. Finally, the designed POC device was successfully applied for the determination of glucose in human blood plasma samples.

Abstract
Rapid and frequent screening of cytokines as immunomodulation agents is necessary for precise interventions in severe pathophysiological conditions. In addition to high-sensitivity detection of such analytes in complex biological fluids such as blood, saliva, and cell culture medium samples, it is also crucial to work out miniaturized bioanalytical platforms with potential for high-density integration enabling screening of multiple analytes. In this work, we show a compact, point-of-care-ready bioanalytical platform for screening of cytokines such as interleukin-4 (IL-4) and interleukin-2 (IL-2) based on one-dimensional ion-sensitive field-effect transistors arrays (nanoISFETs) of silicon fabricated at wafer-scale via nanoimprint lithography. The nanoISFETs biofunctionalized with receptor proteins alpha IL-4 and alpha IL-2 were deployed for screening cytokine secretion in mouse T helper cell differentiation culture media, respectively. Our nanoISFETs showed robust sensor signals for specific molecular binding and can be readily deployed for real-time screening of cytokines. Quantitative analyses of the nanoISFET-based bioanalytical platform was carried out for IL-4 concentrations ranging from 25 fg/mL (1.92 fM) to 2.5 μg/mL (192 nM), showing a limit of detection down to 3-5 fM, which was found to be in agreement with ELISA results in determining IL-4 concentrations directly in complex cell culture media.

Abstract
Fast progress has been witnessed in the field of microfluidic systems and allowed outstanding approaches to portable, disposable, low-cost, and easy-to-operate platforms especially for monitoring health status and point-of-care applications. For this purpose, molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP)-based microfluidics systems can be synthesized using desired templates to create specific and selective cavities for interaction. This technique guarantees a wide range of versatility to imprint diverse sets of biomolecules with different structures, sizes, and physical and chemical features. Owing to their physical and chemical robustness, cost-friendliness, high stability, and reusability, MIP-based microfluidics systems have become very attractive modalities. This review is structured according to the principles of MIPs and microfluidic systems, the integration of MIPs with microfluidic systems, the latest strategies and uses for point-of-care applications and, finally, conclusions and future perspectives.
