Label-free electrochemical biosensor for direct detection of Oncostatin M (OSM) inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) biomarker in human serum. Talanta 2024; 271:125726. [PMID: 38316076 DOI: 10.1016/j.talanta.2024.125726] [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: 11/24/2023] [Revised: 12/22/2023] [Accepted: 01/26/2024] [Indexed: 02/07/2024]
Abstract
Oncostatin M (OSM) is an interleukin-6 (IL-6) member family cytokine implicated in the pathogenesis of chronic diseases including inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). OSM is a novel diagnostic biomarker over-expressed in the serum of IBD patients. This paper reports on the first electrochemical OSM immunosensor, developed using a multistep fabrication process aimed at covalently immobilizing OSM antibodies on a mixed self-assembled monolayer coated gold working electrode. Cyclic voltammetry, atomic force microscopy (AFM), IR spectroscopy and optical characterizations were used to validate the sensor functionalization protocol. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) measurements were performed to assess the reliability of the immunosensor preparation and to verify the antibody-antigen complexes formation. The label-free immunosensor showed high sensitivity identifying OSM at clinically relevant concentrations (37-1000 pg mL-1) with low detection limit of 2.86 pg mL-1. Both sensitivity and selectivity of the proposed immunosensor were also demonstrated in human serum in the presence of interfering biomarkers, making it an innovative potential platform for the OSM biomarker detection in IBD patients' serum.

Bioelectrochemistry 2024; 156:108619. [PMID: 38128441 DOI: 10.1016/j.bioelechem.2023.108619] [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: 06/10/2023] [Revised: 11/18/2023] [Accepted: 11/20/2023] [Indexed: 12/23/2023]
Abstract
Herein, we developed a new waste solution-free paper-based electrochemical immunosensor for SARS-CoV-2 detection in saliva, by combining vertical and lateral flow. In detail, the device was constituted of a reservoir containing all reagents for the construction of the immunological chain onto the magnetic beads and a lateral flow holder which contained a polyester-based electrode, a magnet, and an adsorbent pad. The measurement was carried out by adding the saliva sample into the reservoir, followed by the addition of this solution in the hole present in the lateral flow holder. The successive additions of washing buffer and TMB solution in the lateral flow holder allowed the detection of N protein in saliva in the range of 0.06 to 4 µg/mL with a detection limit equal to 30 ng/mL. The analysis of several saliva samples with the sensing tool and the reference method, demonstrated the effectiveness of this device, being able to identify positive patients with high values of CT e.g. 35. This new configuration paves the way for the realization of any magnetic beads-based immunosystem without waste solution production, enlarging the application of paper-based devices.

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.

Park MK. Comparison of Gold Biosensor Combined with Light Microscope Imaging System with ELISA for Detecting Salmonella in Chicken after Exposure to Simulated Chilling Condition. J Microbiol Biotechnol 2023; 33:228-234.

Abstract
In this study, the performance of a gold biosensor combined with light microscope imaging system (GB-LMIS) was comparatively evaluated against enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) for detecting Salmonella under simulated chilling condition. The optimum concentration of anti-Salmonella polyclonal antibodies (pAbs) was determined to be 12.5 and 100 μg/ml for ELISA and GB-LMIS, respectively. GB-LMIS exhibited a sufficient and competitive specificity toward three tested Salmonella among only. To mimic a real-world situation, chicken was inoculated with Salmonella cocktail and stored under chilling condition for 48 h. The overall growth of Salmonella under chilling condition was significantly lower than that under non-exposure to the chilling condition (p < 0.05). No significant differences in bacterial growth were observed between brain heart infusion and brilliant green broth during the enrichment period (p > 0.05). Finally, both GB-LMIS and ELISA were employed to detect Salmonella at every 2-h interval. GB-LMIS detected Salmonella with a competitive specificity by the direct observation of bacteria on the sensor using a charge-coupled device camera within a detection time of ~2.5 h. GB-LMIS is a feasible, novel, and rapid method for detecting Salmonella in poultry facilities.

Abstract
Development of new biomaterials based on polysulfones tailored to act in various biomedical fields represents a promising strategy which provides an opportunity for enhancing the diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of specific illnesses. To meet these requirements, structural modification of the polysulfones is essential. In this context, for design of new materials with long-term stability, enhanced workability, compatibility with biological materials and good antimicrobial activity, the functionalization of chloromethylated polysulfones with triethylphosphonium pendant groups (PSFEtP+) was adopted. The surface chemistry analysis (Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), Energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX)), rheological properties, morphological aspects (Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), polarized light microscopy (POM)), and antimicrobial activity of the synthetized polysulfone were investigated to establish the relationship between its structure and properties, as an important indicator for targeted applications. Based on the obtained features, evaluated by the relationship between the rheological properties and microstructural aspects, and also the response at the biomaterial-bacteria interface, these qualities have been confirmed in their performance, in terms of thermal stability, antimicrobial activity, and also an increase in lifetime. Consequently, derived results constitute the preliminary basis for future tests concerning their functionality as gel matrices in biomedical devices.

Abstract
This article provides an overview on the broad topic of biogenic amines (BAs) that are a persistent concern in the context of food quality and safety. They emerge mainly from the decomposition of amino acids in protein-rich food due to enzymes excreted by pathogenic bacteria that infect food under inappropriate storage conditions. While there are food authority regulations on the maximum allowed amounts of, e.g., histamine in fish, sensitive individuals can still suffer from medical conditions triggered by biogenic amines, and mass outbreaks of scombroid poisoning are reported regularly. We review first the classical techniques used for selective BA detection and quantification in analytical laboratories and focus then on sensor-based solutions aiming at on-site BA detection throughout the food chain. There are receptor-free chemosensors for BA detection and a vastly growing range of bio- and biomimetic sensors that employ receptors to enable selective molecular recognition. Regarding the receptors, we address enzymes, antibodies, molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs), and aptamers as the most recent class of BA receptors. Furthermore, we address the underlying transducer technologies, including optical, electrochemical, mass-sensitive, and thermal-based sensing principles. The review concludes with an assessment on the persistent limitations of BA sensors, a technological forecast, and thoughts on short-term solutions.

Abstract
Bladder cancer is a kind of malignant tumor with high incidence in the urinary system, complex pathogenic causes, and the high recurrence rate. Biosensors capable of rapid, on site, and accurate bladder cancer diagnosis method continue to be lacking. Here, the electrochemical biosensor for detecting cytokeratin 18 (CK18, bladder cancer biomarker) was constructed based on the chemically modified electrode (CME). The work electrode (WE) was modified by bismuth sulfide semiconductor nanocrystals (Bi2S3 NCs), and then immobilized with CK18 antibodies and blocking agents to complete the electrode preparation. The results indicated that the interface of a flexible carbon electrode with Bi2S3 NCs film was steady with reliable charge transfer capability. With the large specific area and quantum size effect, the proposed sensor could detect CK18 antigen protein with an ultralow detection limit of 1.87 fM (fmol L−1) and wide linear dynamic range of 1–1000 pg mL−1, respectively. Detecting results could be read in less than 30 s with the portable, planar flexible CME. The sensitive and specific electrochemical biosensor possessed the characteristics of rapidity, ease-of-use, and non-invasive detection, indicating the application prospect in the early screening of bladder cancer and other diseases.

Abstract
The advent of electrochemical affinity assays and sensors evolved from pioneering efforts in the 1970s to broaden the field of analytes accessible to the selective and sensitive performance of electrochemical detection. The foundation of electrochemical affinity assays/sensors is the specific capture of an analyte by an affinity element and the subsequent transduction of this event into a measurable signal. This review briefly covers the early development of affinity assays and then focuses on advances in the past decade. During this time, progress on electroactive labels, including the use of nanoparticles, quantum dots, organic and organometallic redox compounds, and enzymes with amplification schemes, has led to significant improvements in sensitivity. The emergence of nanomaterials along with microfabrication and microfluidics technology enabled research pathways that couple the ease of use of electrochemical detection for the development of devices that are more user friendly, disposable, and employable, such as lab-on-a-chip, paper, and wearable sensors.

Abstract
Background It is estimated that the average time between the diagnosis of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and the patient’s death is 5-9 years. Therefore, both the initial phase of the disease and the preclinical state can be included in the critical period in disease diagnosis. Accordingly, huge progress has recently been observed in biomarker research to identify risk factors for dementia in older people with normal cognitive functions and mild cognitive impairments. Methods Electrochemical biosensors are excellent analytical tools that are used in the detection of AD biomarkers as they are easy to use, portable, and can do analysis in real time. Results This review presents the analytical techniques currently used to determine AD biomarkers in terms of their advantages and disadvantages; the most important clinical biomarkers of AD and their role in the disease. All recently used biorecognition molecules in electrochemical biosensor development, i.e., receptor protein, antibodies, aptamers and nucleic acids, are summarized for the first time. Novel electrochemical biosensors for AD biomarker detection, as ideal analytical platforms for point-of-care diagnostics, are also reviewed. Conclusion The article focuses on various strategies of biosensor chemical surface modifications to immobilize biorecognition molecules, enabling specific, quantitative AD biomarker detection in synthetic and clinical samples. In addition, this is the first review that presents innovative single-platform systems for simultaneous detection of multiple biomarkers and other important AD-associated biological species based on electrochemical techniques. The importance of these platforms in disease diagnosis is discussed.

Abstract
Safety and quality are key issues for the food industry. Consequently, there is growing demand to preserve the food chain and products against substances toxic, harmful to human health, such as contaminants, allergens, toxins, or pathogens. For this reason, it is mandatory to develop highly sensitive, reliable, rapid, and cost-effective sensing systems/devices, such as electrochemical sensors/biosensors. Generally, conventional techniques are limited by long analyses, expensive and complex procedures, and skilled personnel. Therefore, developing performant electrochemical biosensors can significantly support the screening of food chains and products. Here, we report some of the recent developments in this area and analyze the contributions produced by electrochemical biosensors in food screening and their challenges.

Abstract
Acute myocardial infarction (AMI) is a significant health problem owing to its high mortality rate. Heart-type fatty acid-binding protein (h-FABP) is an important biomarker in the diagnosis of AMI. In this work, an electrochemical h-FABP immunosensor was developed based on Cd0.5Zn0.5S/d-Ti3C2Tx MXene (MXene: Transition metal carbide or nitride) composite as signal amplificator and core-shell high-crystalline graphitic carbon nitride@carbon dots (hc-g-C3N4@CDs) as electrochemical sensor platform. Firstly, a facile calcination technique was applied to the preparation of hc-g-C3N4@CDs and immobilization of primary antibody was performed on hc-g-C3N4@CDs surface. Then, the conjugation of the second antibody to Cd0.5Zn0.5S/d-Ti3C2Tx MXene was carried out by strong π-π and electrostatic interactions. The prepared electrochemical h-FABP immunosensor was characterized by transmission electron microscopy (TEM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), x-ray diffraction (XRD) method, Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), cyclic voltammetry (CV), and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). The prepared electrochemical h-FABP immunosensor indicated a good sensitivity with detection limit (LOD) of 3.30 fg mL-1 in the potential range +0.1 to +0.5 V. Lastly, low-cost, satisfactory stable, and environmentally friendly immunosensor was presented for the diagnosis of acute myocardial infarction.

Abstract
The current manuscript summarizes different electrochemical sensing systems developed within the last 5 years for the detection of zearalenone (ZEN) in diverse matrices such as food, feed, and biofluids. ZEN is one of the most prevalent non-steroidal mycotoxins that is often found in pre- and post-harvest crops. Crops contamination with ZEN and animal exposure to it via contaminated feed, is a global health and economic concern. The European Union has established various preventive programs to control ZEN contamination, and regulations on the maximum levels of ZEN in food and feed. Electrochemical (bio)sensors are a very promising alternative to sensitive but sophisticated and expensive chromatographic techniques. In the current review, recent developments towards electrochemical sensing of ZEN, sorted by type of transducer, their design, development, and approbation/validation are discussed, and the use of specialized electrochemical instrumentation is highlighted.

JOURNAL OF ANIMAL SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY 2020; 62:668-681. [PMID: 33089232 PMCID: PMC7553841 DOI: 10.5187/jast.2020.62.5.668] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/27/2020] [Revised: 08/06/2020] [Accepted: 08/07/2020] [Indexed: 11/23/2022]
Abstract
The purpose of this study was aimed to isolate a Salmonella
Typhimurium-specific phage (KFS-ST) from washing water in a poultry processing
facility and to investigate the feasibility of the KFS-ST as a novel
bio-receptor for the magnetoelastic (ME) biosensor method. KFS-ST against
S. Typhimurium was isolated, propagated, and purified using
a CsCl-gradient ultracentrifugation. Morphological characteristics of KFS-ST
were analyzed using transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Its specificity and
efficiency of plating analysis were conducted against 39 foodborne pathogens.
The temperature and pH stabilities of KFS-ST were investigated by the exposure
of the phage to various temperatures (−70°C–70°C)
and pHs (1–12) for 1 h. A one-step growth curve analysis was performed to
determine the eclipse time, latent time and burst size of phage. The storage
stability of KFS-ST was studied by exposing KFS-ST to various storage
temperatures (−70°C, −20°C, 4°C, and
22°C) for 12 weeks. KFS-ST was isolated and purified with a high
concentration of (11.47 ± 0.25) Log PFU/mL. It had an icosahedral head
(56.91 ± 2.90 nm) and a non-contractile tail (225.49 ± 2.67 nm),
which was classified into the family of Siphoviridae in the
order of Caudovirales. KFS-ST exhibited an excellent
specificity against only S. Typhimurium and S.
Enteritidis, which are considered two of the most problematic
Salmonella strains in the meat and poultry. However, KFS-ST
did not exhibit any specificity against six other Salmonella
and 27 non-Salmonella strains. KFS-ST was stable at temperature
of 4°C to 50°C and at pH of 4 to 12. The eclipse time, latent
time, and burst size of KFS-ST were determined to be 10 min, 25 min and 26 PFU/
infected cell, respectively. KFS-ST was relatively stable during the 12-week
storage period at all tested temperatures. Therefore, this study demonstrated
the feasibility of KFS-ST as a novel bio-receptor for the detection of
S. Typhimurium and S. Enteritidis in meat
and poultry products using the ME biosensor method.

Abstract
Electrochemical sensors are devices capable of detecting molecules and biomolecules in solutions and determining the concentration through direct electrical measurements. These systems can be miniaturized to a size less than 1 µm through the creation of small-size arrays of nanoelectrodes (NEA), offering advantages in terms of increased sensitivity and compactness. In this work, we present the fabrication of an electrochemical platform based on an array of nanoelectrodes (NEA) and its possible use for the detection of antigens of interest. NEAs were fabricated by forming arrays of nanoholes on a thin film of polycarbonate (PC) deposited on boron-doped diamond (BDD) macroelectrodes by thermal nanoimprint lithography (TNIL), which demonstrated to be a highly reliable and reproducible process. As proof of principle, gliadin protein fragments were physisorbed on the polycarbonate surface of NEAs and detected by immuno-indirect assay using a secondary antibody labelled with horseradish peroxidase (HRP). This method allows a successful detection of gliadin, in the range of concentration of 0.5-10 μg/mL, by cyclic voltammetry taking advantage from the properties of NEAs to strongly suppress the capacitive background signal. We demonstrate that the characteristics of the TNIL technology in the fabrication of high-resolution nanostructures together with their low-cost production, may allow to scale up the production of NEAs-based electrochemical sensing platform to monitor biochemical molecules for both food and biomedical applications.

Abstract
Immunoassay plays an important role in the early screening and diagnosis of diseases. The use of electrochemical methods to realize the label-free, specific and rapid detection of antigens has attracted extensive attention from researchers. In this study, we realized the function of immunosensing and detection by lithography, the interdigitated gold electrode on the polyethylene naphthalate (PEN) membrane. Then, the gold electrode was biofunctionalized and the characterization was verified by atomic force microscopy, which was finally for the detection of mice IgG. This immunosensor has a low detection limit, with a broad linear detection range of 0.01–10 ng/mL. The results show that the electrochemical impedance sensor made of metal electrodes based on PEN flexible materials is suitable for immunoassay experiments. If this method could be proved by further studies, broad application prospects can be seen in routine immunoassays.

Abstract
Mycotoxins are the most widely studied biological toxins, which contaminate foods at very low concentrations. This review describes the emerging extraction techniques and the current and alternatives analytical techniques and methods that have been used to successfully detect and identify important mycotoxins. Some of them have proven to be particularly effective in not only the detection of mycotoxins, but also in detecting mycotoxin-producing fungi. Chromatographic techniques such as high-performance liquid chromatography coupled with various detectors like fluorescence, diode array, UV, liquid chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry, and liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry, have been powerful tools for analyzing and detecting major mycotoxins. Recent progress of the development of rapid immunoaffinity-based detection techniques such as immunoassays and biosensors, as well as emerging technologies like proteomic and genomic methods, molecular techniques, electronic nose, aggregation-induced emission dye, quantitative NMR and hyperspectral imaging for the detection of mycotoxins in foods, have also been presented.

Abstract
Heterocyclic amine histamine is a well-known foodborne toxicant (mostly linked to "scombroid poisoning") synthesized from the microbial decarboxylation of amino acid histidine. In this work, we report the fabrication of a flexible screen-printed immunosensor based on a silver electrode coated with single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) for the detection of histamine directly in fish samples. Biosensors were realized by first spray depositing SWCNTs on the working electrodes and by subsequently treating them with oxygen plasma to reduce the unwanted effects related to their hydrophobicity. Next, anti-histamine antibodies were directly immobilized on the treated SWCNTs. Histamine was detected using the typical reaction of histamine and histamine-labeled with horseradish peroxidase (HRP) competing to bind with anti-histamine antibodies. The developed immunosensor shows a wide linear detection range from 0.005 to 50 ng/mL for histamine samples, with a coefficient of determination as high as 98.05%. Average recoveries in fish samples were observed from 96.00% to 104.7%. The biosensor also shows good selectivity (less than 3% relative response for cadaverine, putrescine, and tyramine), reproducibility, mechanical and time stability, being a promising analytical tool for the analysis of histamine, as well as of other food hazards.

Abstract
Ochratoxins were important secondary metabolites secreted by fungi, and OTA and OTB are mainly significant mycotoxin, having toxic effects on humans and animals. Therefore, it is important to establish a rapid, sensitive, and precise method for ochratoxins detection and quantification in real samples. In this study, a stable monoclonal antibody (mAb) that recognizing both OTA and OTB toxins was employed for the establishment of indirect competitive ELISA (ic-ELISA), colloidal gold nanoparticles (CGNs), and nanoflowers gold strips (AuNFs) for detection of ochratoxins in real samples. A 6E5 hybridoma cell line stable secreting mAb against both OTA and OTB toxins was obtained by fusion of splenocytes with myeloma SP2/0 cells. The 6E5 mAb had a high affinity (3.7 × 108 L/mol) to OTA, and also showed similar binding activity to OTB. The optimized ic-ELISA resulted in a linear range of 0.06–0.6 ng/mL for ochratoxins (OTA and OTB) detection. The IC50 was 0.2 ng/mL and the limit of detection (LOD) was 0.03 ng/mL. The mean recovery rate from the spiked samples was 89.315 ± 2.257%, with a coefficient variation of 2.182%. The result from lateral flow immunoassays indicated that the LOD of CGNs and AuNFs were 5 and 1 μg/mL, respectively. All these results indicated that the developed ic-ELISA, CGNs, and AuNFs in this study could be used for the analysis of the residual of ochratoxins (OTA and OTB) in food and agricultural products.

Abstract
Antibodies are large proteins generated in vivo to bind specifically to a wide spectrum of targets ranging from biological to environmental molecules. They play a vital role in research, diagnostics, sensing, and therapeutic applications. Over the past few decades, advancements have been made to improve the performance of antibodies, specifically in the area of immunosensors. However, there has been an urgent need for alternative high-quality recognition probes that can be produced synthetically in bulk quantity to ensure better reproducibility and lower cost, as well as avoiding the need of using animals in the production process. Aptamers are synthetic nucleic acid single-stranded (ss) DNAs or RNAs that can bind with high affinity and specificity to their targets. They can be generated via in vitro section protocol, known as systematic evolution of ligands by exponential enrichment (SELEX). The advantages of aptamers promoted their successful incorporation in several signal transduction schemes, some of which reached the commercial market for point-of-care and in-field applications. This chapter describes the two types of affinity reagents: antibodies and aptamers, and their methods of production, advantages, and limitations. The focus will be directed at their incorporation in analytical transduction methods and how aptamer molecular size as well as unique conformational change upon target binding has triggered the evolution of new sensing methods.

Abstract
Constant progress in the identification of biomarkers at different molecular levels in samples of different natures, and the need to conduct routine analyses, even in limited-resource settings involving simple and short protocols, are examples of the growing current clinical demands not satisfied by conventional available techniques. In this context, the unique features offered by electrochemical biosensors, including affordability, real-time and reagentless monitoring, simple handling and portability, and versatility, make them especially interesting for adaptation to the increasingly challenging requirements of current clinical and point-of-care (POC) diagnostics. This has allowed the continuous development of strategies with improved performance in the clinical field that were unthinkable just a few years ago. After a brief introduction to the types and characteristics of clinically relevant biomarkers/samples, requirements for their analysis, and currently available methodologies, this review article provides a critical discussion of the most important developments and relevant applications involving electrochemical biosensors reported in the last five years in response to the demands of current diagnostic, prognostic, and therapeutic actions related to high prevalence and high mortality diseases and disorders. Special attention is paid to the rational design of surface chemistry and the use/modification of state-of-the-art nanomaterials to construct electrochemical bioscaffolds with antifouling properties that can be applied to the single or multiplex determination of biomarkers of accepted or emerging clinical relevance in particularly complex clinical samples, such as undiluted liquid biopsies, whole cells, and paraffin-embedded tissues, which have scarcely been explored using conventional techniques or electrochemical biosensing. Key points guiding future development, challenges to be addressed to further push the limits of electrochemical biosensors towards new challenging applications, and their introduction to the market are also discussed.

Abstract
Electrochemical immunosensors, EIs, are systems that combine the analytical power of electrochemical techniques and the high selectivity and specificity of antibodies in a solid phase immunoassay for target analyte. In EIs, the most used transducer platforms are screen printed electrodes, SPEs. Some characteristics of EIs are their low cost, portability for point of care testing (POCT) applications, high specificity and selectivity to the target molecule, low sample and reagent consumption and easy to use. Despite all these attractive features, still exist one to cover and it is the enhancement of the sensitivity of the EIs. In this review, an approach to understand how this can be achieved is presented. First, it is necessary to comprise thoroughly all the complex phenomena that happen simultaneously in the protein-surface interface when adsorption of the protein occurs. Physicochemical properties of the protein and the surface as well as the adsorption phenomena influence the sensitivity of the EIs. From this point, some strategies to suppress non-specific binding, NSB, of proteins onto electrode surfaces in order to improve the sensitivity of EIs are mentioned.

Abstract
Clenbuterol (CLB) is an antibiotic and illegal growth promoter drug that has a long half-life and easily remains as residue and contaminates the animal-based food product that leads to various health problems. In this work, electrochemical immunosensor based on poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene)/graphene oxide (PEDOT/GO) modified screen-printed carbon electrode (SPCE) for CLB detection was developed for antibiotic monitoring in a food product. The modification of SPCE with PEDOT/GO as a sensor platform was performed through electropolymerization, while the electrochemical assay was accomplished while using direct competitive format in which the free CLB and clenbuterol-horseradish peroxidase (CLB-HRP) in the solution will compete to form binding with the polyclonal anti-clenbuterol antibody (Ab) immobilized onto the modified electrode surface. A linear standard CLB calibration curve with R² = 0.9619 and low limit of detection (0.196 ng mL-1) was reported. Analysis of milk samples indicated that this immunosensor was able to detect CLB in real samples and the results that were obtained were comparable with enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISA).

Abstract
In this study, we have fabricated a simple disposable electrochemical immunosensor for the point of care testing of microalbuminuria, a well-known clinical biomarker for the onset of chronic kidney disease. The immunosensor is fabricated by screen-printing carbon interdigitated microelectrodes on a flexible plastic substrate and utilizes electrochemical impedance spectroscopy to enable direct and label free immunosensing by analyzing interfacial changes on the electrode surface. To improve conductivity and biocompatibility of the screen-printed electrodes, we have modified it with gold nanoparticles, which are electrodeposited using linear sweep voltammetry. To enable efficient immobilization of HSA antibodies, we have developed novel PS/Ag/ab-HSA nanoprobes (polystyrene nanoparticle core with silver nanoshells covalently conjugated to HSA antibodies), and these nanoprobes are trapped on the electrode surface using dielectrophoresis. Each immunosensor has two sensing sites corresponding to test and control to improve specificity by performing differential analysis. Immunosensing results show that the normalized impedance response is linearly dependent on albumin concentration in the clinically relevant range with good repeatability. We have also developed a portable impedance readout module that can analyze the data obtained from the immunosensor and transmit it wirelessly for cloud computing. Consequently, the developed immunosensing platform can be extended to the detection of a range of immunoreactions and shows promise for point of diagnosis and public healthcare monitoring.

Abstract
Salmonella Typhimurium is one of the main causes of outbreaks and sporadic cases of human gastroenteritis. At present, the rapid detection of this pathogen is a major goal of biosensing technology applied to food safety. In fact, ISO standardized culture method takes up to ten days to provide a reliable response. In this paper, we describe a relatively simple protocol for detecting Salmonella Typhimurium in chicken meat based on a Quartz-Crystal Microbalance (QCM), which leads to a limit of detection (LOD) less than of 10° CFU/mL and requires a pre-enrichment step lasting only 2 h at 37 °C. The reliability of the proposed immunosensor has been demonstrated through the validation of the experimental results with ISO standardized culture method. The cost-effectiveness of the procedure and the rapidity of the QCM-based biosensor in providing the qualitative response make the analytical method described here suitable for applications in food inspection laboratory and throughout the chain production of food industry.

Abstract
This paper reports the development of an amperometric immunosensing platform for the determination of cadherin-17 (CDH-17), an atypical adhesion protein involved in the progression, metastatic potential, and survival of high prevalence gastric, hepatocellular, and colorectal tumors. The methodology developed relies on the efficient capture and enzymatic labeling of the target protein on the magnetic microparticles (MBs) surface using commercial antibodies and amperometric transduction at screen-printed carbon electrodes (SCPEs) through the HRP/H2O2/HQ system. The developed immunosensing platform allows the selective determination of the target protein at low ng mL-1 level (LOD of 1.43 ng mL-1) in 45 min and using a single incubation step. The electrochemical immunosensor was successfully used for the accurate determination of the target protein in a small amount (0.5 μg) of raw lysates of colon cancer cells with different metastatic potential as well as in extracts from paraffin embedded cancer colon tissues of different metastatic grade.

Abstract
Rapid and precise analytical tools are essential for monitoring food safety and screening of any undesirable contaminants, allergens, or pathogens, which may cause significant health risks upon consumption. Substantial developments in analytical techniques have empowered the analyses and quantitation of these contaminants. However, conventional techniques are limited by delayed analysis times, expensive and laborious sample preparation, and the necessity for highly-trained workers. Therefore, prompt advances in electrochemical biosensors have supported significant gains in quantitative detection and screening of food contaminants and showed incredible potential as a means of defying such limitations. Apart from indicating high specificity towards the target analytes, these biosensors have also addressed the challenge of food industry by providing high analytical accuracy within complex food matrices. Here, we discuss some of the recent advances in this area and analyze the role and contributions made by electrochemical biosensors in the food industry. This article also reviews the key challenges we believe biosensors need to overcome to become the industry standard.

Abstract
The implementation of therapeutic drug monitoring in the routine clinical practice in oncology is mainly limited by the lack of therapeutic indexes for the majority of the anticancer drugs, and by the absence of suitable analytical tools, which can accurately quantify in real time the concentration of the administered drugs and their relevant metabolites in biological fluids. In this work, a simple and efficient fluorimetric determination of SN-38, the active metabolite of the anticancer drug irinotecan, was developed and applied to human plasma samples. The intrinsic fluorescence of SN-38 allowed its quantification in the range 10-500 ng mL-1 with a LOQ of 5.0 ng mL-1 and a LOD of 1.5 ng mL-1. Low interferences due to main metabolites of irinotecan and comedications, commonly associated with administration of irinotecan, were observed. A validation study, according to FDA and EMA guidelines for bioanalytical method validation, was carried out and, finally, blind samples were analyzed in parallel with a HPLC-MS method obtaining an excellent agreement between the two techniques.

Abstract
This chapter reviews recent achievements in methods of detection of mycotoxins in food. Special focus is on the biosensor technology that utilizes antibodies and nucleic acid aptamers as receptors. Development of biosensors is based on the immobilization of antibodies or aptamers onto various conventional supports like gold layer, but also on nanomaterials such as graphene oxide, carbon nanotubes, and quantum dots that provide an effective platform for achieving high sensitivity of detection using various physical methods, including electrochemical, mass sensitive, and optical. The biosensors developed so far demonstrate high sensitivity typically in subnanomolar limit of detection. Several biosensors have been validated in real samples. The sensitivity of biosensors is similar and, in some cases, even better than traditional analytical methods such as ELISA or chromatography. We believe that future trends will be focused on improving biosensor properties toward practical application in food industry.

Single-Step Incubation Determination of miRNAs in Cancer Cells Using an Amperometric Biosensor Based on Competitive Hybridization onto Magnetic Beads. SENSORS 2018; 18:s18030863.

Abstract
This work reports an amperometric biosensor for the determination of miRNA-21, a relevant oncogene. The methodology involves a competitive DNA-target miRNA hybridization assay performed on the surface of magnetic microbeads (MBs) and amperometric transduction at screen-printed carbon electrodes (SPCEs). The target miRNA competes with a synthetic fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC)-modified miRNA with an identical sequence for hybridization with a biotinylated and complementary DNA probe (b-Cp) immobilized on the surface of streptavidin-modified MBs (b-Cp-MBs). Upon labeling, the FITC-modified miRNA attached to the MBs with horseradish peroxidase (HRP)-conjugated anti-FITC Fab fragments and magnetic capturing of the MBs onto the working electrode surface of SPCEs. The cathodic current measured at −0.20 V (versus the Ag pseudo-reference electrode) was demonstrated to be inversely proportional to the concentration of the target miRNA. This convenient biosensing method provided a linear range between 0.7 and 10.0 nM and a limit of detection (LOD) of 0.2 nM (5 fmol in 25 μL of sample) for the synthetic target miRNA without any amplification step. An acceptable selectivity towards single-base mismatched oligonucleotides, a high storage stability of the b-Cp-MBs, and usefulness for the accurate determination of miRNA-21 in raw total RNA (RNAt) extracted from breast cancer cells (MCF-7) were demonstrated.
