Abstract
Alkaline phosphatase (ALP) and interleukin-1beta (IL-1β) are crucial salivary biomarkers for the diagnosis of periodontal disease that harms the periodontal tissue along with tooth loss. However, there has been no way of sensitive and portable detection of both biomarkers in saliva with multivariate signal readout. In this work, we design the multicolorimetric ALP and IL-1β sensing platform based on geometrical transformation of silver nanoplate transducer. By utilizing enzymatic activity of ALP that dephosphorylates p-aminophenol phosphate (p-APP) to p-aminophenol (p-AP), localized surface plasmon resonance properties of silver nanoplate vary with ALP and show a distinct color change from blue to yellow based on a controlled seed transformation from triangular to hexagonal, rounded pentagonal, and spherical shape. The multicolor sensor shows an ALP detection range of 0-25 U/L with a limit of detection (LOD) of 0.0011 U/L, which is the lowest range of LOD demonstrated to date for state-of-the-art ALP sensor. Furthermore, we integrate the sensor with the conventional ELISA to detect IL-1β for multicolor signaling and it exhibits a linear detection range of 0-250 pg/mL and an LOD of 0.066 pg/mL, which is 2 orders of magnitude lower than the monochromic conventional ELISA (LOD of 3.8 pg/mL). The ALP multicolor sensor shows high selectivity with a recovery of 100.9% in real human saliva proving its reliability and suitability for the readily accessible periodontal diagnosis with multivariate signal readout.

Abstract
Floating-gate transistors (FGTs) are a promising class of electronic sensing architectures that separate the transduction elements from molecular sensing components, but the factors leading to optimum device design are unknown. We developed a model, generalizable to many different semiconductor/dielectric materials and channel dimensions, to predict the sensor response to changes in capacitance and/or charge at the sensing surface upon target binding or other changes in surface chemistry. The model predictions were compared to experimental data obtained using a floating-gate (extended gate) electrochemical transistor, a variant of the generic FGT architecture that facilitates low-voltage operation and rapid, simple fabrication using printing. Self-assembled monolayer (SAM) chemistry and quasi-statically measured resistor-loaded inverters were utilized to obtain experimentally either the capacitance signals (with alkylthiol SAMs) or charge signals (with acid-terminated SAMs) of the FGT. Experiments reveal that the model captures the inverter gain and charge signals over 3 orders of magnitude variation in the size of the sensing area and the capacitance signals over 2 orders of magnitude but deviates from experiments at lower capacitances of the sensing surface (<1 nF). To guide future device design, model predictions for a large range of sensing area capacitances and characteristic voltages are provided, enabling the calculation of the optimum sensing area size for maximum charge and capacitance sensitivity.

Abstract
The detection of dopamine, one of the neurotransmitters in cerebral physiology, is critical in studying brain activities and understanding brain functions. However, regenerative biosensor for monitoring dopamine in the progress of physiological and pathological events is still challenging, due to lack of the platform for repetitive on-line detection-regeneration cycle. Herein, we have developed a regenerated field effect transistor (FET) combined with in vivo monitoring system. In this biosensor, gold-coated magnetic nanoparticles (Fe3O4@AuNPs) acts as a regenerated recognition unit for dopamine. Just by simple removal of a permanent magnet, dopamine on the biosensor interface are catalyzed by tyrosinase, thus achieving the regeneration of the biosensor. As a result, this FET biosensor not only reveals high sensitivity and selectivity, but also exhibits excellent stability after 15 regeneration processing. This biosensor is capable of monitor dopamine with a linear range between 1 μmol L-1 and 120 μmol L-1 and low detection limit (DL) of 3.3 nmol L-1. Then, the platform has been successfully applied in dopamine analysis in fish brain under global cerebral cortical neurons. This FET biosensor is the first to on-line and remote control the sensitivity and DL by permanent magnet. It opens the door to reusable, inexpensive and large-scale productions.

Abstract
Avoiding the growth of SiOx has been an enduring task for the use of silicon as an electrode material in dynamic electrochemistry. This is because electrochemical assays become unstable when the SiOx levels change during measurements. Moreover, the silicon electrode can be completely passivated for electron transfer if a thick layer of insulating SiOx grows on the surface. As such, the field of silicon electrochemistry was mainly developed by electron-transfer studies in nonaqueous electrolytes and by applications employing SiOx-passivated silicon-electrodes where no DC currents are required to cross the electrode/electrolyte interface. A solution to this challenge began by functionalizing Si-H electrodes with monolayers based on Si-O-Si linkages. These monolayers have proven very efficient to avoid SiOx formation but are not stable for a long-term operation in aqueous electrolytes due to hydrolysis. It was only with the development of self-assembled monolayers based on Si-C linkages that a reliable protection against SiOx formation was achieved, particularly with monolayers based on α,ω-dialkynes. This review discusses in detail how this surface chemistry achieves such protection, the electron-transfer behavior of these monolayer-modified silicon surfaces, and the new opportunities for electrochemical applications in aqueous solution.

Abstract
Printed electrolyte-gated transistors (EGTs) are an emerging biosensor platform that leverage the facile fabrication engendered by printed electronics with the low voltage operation enabled by ion gel dielectrics. The resulting label-free, nonoptical sensors have high gain and provide sensing operations that can be challenging for conventional chemical field effect transistor architectures. After providing an overview of EGT device fabrication and operation, we highlight opportunities for microfluidic enhancement of EGT sensor performance via multiplexing, sample preconcentration, and improved transport to the sensor surface.

Abstract
The importance of specific and label-free detection of proteins via antigen-antibody interactions for the development of point-of-care testing devices has greatly influenced the search for a more accessible, sensitive, low cost and robust sensors. The vision of silicon field-effect transistor (FET)-based sensors has been an attractive venue for addressing the challenge as it potentially offers a natural path to incorporate sensors with the existing mature Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor (CMOS) industry; this provides a stable and reliable technology, low cost for potential disposable devices, the potential for extreme minituarization, low electronic noise levels, etc. In the current review we focus on silicon-based immunological FET (ImmunoFET) for specific and label-free sensing of proteins through antigen-antibody interactions that can potentially be incorporated into the CMOS industry; hence, immunoFETs based on nano devices (nanowire, nanobelts, carbon nanotube, etc.) are not treated here. The first part of the review provides an overview of immunoFET principles of operation and challenges involved with the realization of such devices (i.e. e.g. Debye length, surface functionalization, noise, etc.). In the second part we provide an overview of the state-of-the-art silicon-based immunoFET structures and novelty, principles of operation and sensing performance reported to date.

Abstract
An external force-assisted near-field illumination biosensor (EFA-NI biosensor) detects a target substance that is propelled through an evanescent field by an external force. The target substance is sandwiched between an antibody coupled to a magnetic bead and an antibody coupled to a polystyrene bead. The external force is supplied by a magnetic field. The magnetic bead propels the target substance and the polystyrene bead emits an optical signal. The detection protocol includes only two steps; mixing the sample solution with a detection reagent containing the antibody-coated beads and injecting the sample mixture into a liquid cell. Because the system detects the motion of the beads, the sensor allows detection of trace amounts of target substances without a washing step. The detection capability of the sensor was demonstrated by the detection of norovirus virus-like particles at a concentration of ~40 particles per 100 μl in contaminated water.

Abstract
This work reports the construction of a fast, disposable, and label-free immunosensor for the determination of atrazine. The immunosensor is based on a field effect transistor (FET) where a network of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) acts as the conductor channel, constituting carbon nanotubes field effect transistors (CNTFETs). Anti-atrazine antibodies were adsorbed onto the SWCNTs and subsequently the SWCNTs were protected with Tween 20 to prevent the non-specific binding of bacteria or proteins. The principle of the immunoreaction consists in the direct adsorption of atrazine specific antibodies (anti-atrazine) to SWCNTs networks. After exposed to increasing concentrations of atrazine, the CNTFETs could be used as useful label-free platforms to detect atrazine. Under the optimal conditions, a limit of detection as low as 0.001 ng mL(-1) was obtained, which is lower than that of other methods for the atrazine detection, and in a working range between 0.001 and 10 ng mL(-1). The average recoveries obtained for real water samples spiked with atrazine varied from 87.3% to 108.0%. The results show that the constructed sensors display a high sensitivity and could be useful tools for detecting pesticides like atrazine at low concentrations. They could be also applied to the determination of atrazine in environmental aqueous samples, such as seawater and riverine water.

Use of glucose oxidase (GOD) and a lectin protein Concanavalin A are two common strategies to generate glucose-dependent electrochemical events. However, these protein-based materials are intolerant of long-term usage and storage due to their inevitable denaturing. METHODS A phenylboronic acid (PBA) modified self-assembled monolayer (SAM) on a gold electrode with an optimized disassociation constant of PBA, that is, 3-fluoro-4-carbamoyl-PBA possessing its pKa of 7.1, was prepared and utilized as an extended gate electrode for Bio-FET. RESULTS The prepared electrode showed a glucose-dependent change in the surface potential under physiological conditions, thus providing a remarkably simple rationale for the glyco-sensitive Bio-FET. Importantly, the PBA modified electrode showed tolerance to relatively severe heat and drying treatments; conditions under which protein based materials would surely be denatured. CONCLUSIONS A PBA modified SAM with optimized disassociation constant (pKa) can exhibit a glucose-dependent change in the surface potential under physiological conditions, providing a remarkably simple but robust method for the glyco-sensing. GENERAL SIGNIFICANCE This protein-free, totally synthetic glyco-sensing strategy may offer cheap, robust and easily accessible platform that may be useful in developing countries. This article is part of a Special Issue entitled Organic Bioelectronics-Novel Applications in Biomedicine.

Abstract
A field effect transistor (FET)-based immunosensor was developed for diabetes monitoring by detecting the concentrations of glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) and hemoglobin (Hb). This immunosensor consists of a FET-based sensor chip and a disposable extended-gate electrode chip. The sensor chip was fabricated by standard CMOS process and was integrated with signal readout circuit. The disposable electrode chip, fabricated on polyester plastic board by Micro-Electro-Mechanical-Systems (MEMS) technique, was integrated with electrodes array and micro reaction pool. Biomolecules were immobilized on the electrode based on self-assembled monolayer and gold nanoparticles. Experimental results showed that the immunosensor achieved a linear response to HbA1c with the concentration from 4 to 24 μg/ml, and a linear response to Hb with the concentration from 60 to 180 μg/ml.

Abstract
This review examines the current state of the art lab-on-a-chip and microfluidic based biosensor technologies used in the detection of cardiac biomarkers. The determination and quantification of blood based, cardiac biomarkers are crucial in the triage and management of a range of cardiac related conditions, where time delay has a major impact on short and longer-term outcomes of a patient. The design and manufacturing of biomarker detection systems are multi-disciplinary in nature and require researchers to have knowledge of both life sciences and engineering for the full potential of this field to be realised. This review will therefore provide a comprehensive overview of chip based immunosensing technology as applied to cardiac biomarker detection, while discussing the potential suitability and limitations of each configuration for incorporation within a clinical diagnostics device suitable for point-of-care applications.

Abstract
A stimulus-responsive polymer gel designed on a field-effect transistor gate undergoes a reversible volume phase transition in response to a specific biomolecule. An abrupt permittivity change at the gel/gate interface during the transition gives rise to a chemical to electrical signal conversion; the signal is thus detectable via a transistor without the limit of the Debye length.

A possibility of detection of the non-charge based analytes using ultra-thin body field-effect transistors. Biosens Bioelectron 2008; 23:1883-6. [PMID: 18403195 DOI: 10.1016/j.bios.2008.02.024] [Citation(s) in RCA: 12] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/31/2007] [Revised: 02/17/2008] [Accepted: 02/20/2008] [Indexed: 11/20/2022]
Abstract
Ultra-thin body of p-type field-effect transistors were developed as transducer for biosensors. Changes of conductance resulted from the changes of the surface potentials of ultra-thin body field-effect transistors (UTB-FETs) due to surface chemical modifications were demonstrated. The channel surface of UTB-FETs were modified with N-[3-(trimethoxysilyl)propyl]ethylenediamine (AEAPTMS) and then gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) to immobilize the bio-component, the genetically engineered Delta(5)-3-ketosteroid isomerase (Art_KSI) or the Art_KSI conjugated with charged reporter (Art_KSI_mA51). The binding of charge-based molecules or nanoparticles has been demonstrated to strongly affect the conductivity of UTB-FETs; the increase or decrease of the conductance depends on the polarity of the immobilized molecules or nanoparticles. A new protocol involving the detection of a non-charged analyte relied on the competitive binding of analyte (19-norandrostendione) and a charged reporter (mA51) with KSI. When exposed to a 19-norandrostendione solution (10 microM), the conductance of Art_KSI_mA51-modified UTB-FET increased by 265 nS ( approximately 12%). On the other hand, conductance of Art_KSI-modified UTB-FET showed no distinct change under the same detection conditions.

Abstract
A large variety of potentiometric biosensors is developed using biocatalytic and bioaffinity-based biosensing schemes. However, only few of them could be applied for the biomedical analysis. The most promising are those for the detection of main products of protein metabolism, namely urea and creatinine. A novel group of potentiometric biosensors is constituted by bioaffinity-based devices that could be used for immunoassays or genoanalysis. This paper reviews the recent trends in these fields as well as discusses advantages, limitations and pitfalls of the developed biosensors. Some potentiometric biosensors useful for real biomedical analysis are reported in detail.
