Paper-Based Microfluidic Analytical Device Patterned by Label Printer for Point-of-Care Blood Glucose and Hematocrit Detection Using 3D-Printed Smartphone Cassette. SENSORS (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2024; 24:4792. [PMID: 39123836 PMCID: PMC11314817 DOI: 10.3390/s24154792] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/03/2024] [Revised: 07/18/2024] [Accepted: 07/22/2024] [Indexed: 08/12/2024]
Abstract
This study presents a portable, low-cost, point-of-care (POC) system for the simultaneous detection of blood glucose and hematocrit. The system consists of a disposable origami microfluidic paper-based analytical device (μPAD) for plasma separation, filtration, and reaction functions and a 3D-printed cassette for hematocrit and blood glucose detection using a smartphone. The origami μPAD is patterned using a cost-effective label printing technique instead of the conventional wax printing method. The 3D-printed cassette incorporates an array of LED lights, which mitigates the effects of intensity variations in the ambient light and hence improves the accuracy of the blood glucose and hematocrit concentration measurements. The hematocrit concentration is determined quantitatively by measuring the distance of plasma wicking along the upper layer of the origami μPAD, which is pretreated with sodium chloride and Tween 20 to induce dehydration and aggregation of the red blood cells. The filtered plasma also penetrates to the lower layer of the origami μPAD, where it reacts with embedded colorimetric assay reagents to produce a yellowish-brown complex. A color image of the reaction complex is captured using a smartphone inserted into the 3D-printed cassette. The image is analyzed using self-written RGB software to quantify the blood glucose concentration. The calibration results indicate that the proposed detection platform provides an accurate assessment of the blood glucose level over the range of 45-630 mg/dL (R2 = 0.9958). The practical feasibility of the proposed platform is demonstrated by measuring the blood glucose and hematocrit concentrations in 13 human whole blood samples. Taking the measurements obtained from commercial glucose and hematocrit meters as a benchmark, the proposed system has a differential of no more than 6.4% for blood glucose detection and 9.1% for hematocrit detection. Overall, the results confirm that the proposed μPAD is a promising solution for cost-effective and reliable POC health monitoring.

Abstract
Artificial peroxidases have garnered a lot of attention owing to their tremendous superiority over their natural counterparts. Here, NiMn2O4 nanoparticles have been successfully prepared through PEG assisted hydrothermal method. The varied PEG concentrations significantly altered the morphology and particle size of the synthesizedmaterials. We demonstrate the improved peroxide-like assay of different NiMn2O4 nanoparticles for the first time. Among them, Ni4 nanoparticles exhibit good peroxidase-like activity by generating the oxidation of chromogenic substrate 3, 3', 5, 5'-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) in the presence of H2O2 and a blue color charge transfer product with an absorption maximum is positioned at 652 nm. These observations led to the development of a method for assessingH2O2 that can be read visually and photometrically. The Ni4 nanoparticles show enhanced kinetics compared to the natural enzyme horse radish peroxidase (HRP) with a lower Km (0.168 mM) value. Additionally, this Ni4 nanosphere applies as a visible light photocatalyst for the degradation of methylene blue (MB) and rhodamine B (Rh B) dyes under visible-light irradiation. Under optimized conditions, the degradationrates of MB and Rh B are 68 and 80.7 %, respectively, after 210 min, and recyclable efficiency is about 99 % for Rh B photocatalytic degradation in the first test and 98 % for five cycles, and about 98 % for MB photocatalytic degradation in the first test and 97 % for five cycles.

Abstract
Antioxidants are crucial for human health, and the detection of antioxidants can provide valuable information for disease diagnosis and health management. In this work, we report a plasmonic sensing approach for the determination of antioxidants based on their antietching capacity toward plasmonic nanoparticles. The Ag shell of core-shell Au@Ag nanostars can be etched by chloroauric acid (HAuCl4), whereas antioxidants can interact with HAuCl4, which prevents the surface etching of Au@Ag nanostars. We modulate the thickness of the Ag shell and morphology of the nanostructures, showing that the core-shell nanostars with the smallest thickness of Ag shell have the best etching sensitivity. Owing to the extraordinary surface plasmon resonance (SPR) property of Au@Ag nanostars, the antietching effect of antioxidants can induce a significant change in both the SPR spectrum and the color of solution, facilitating both the quantitative detection and naked-eye readout. This antietching strategy enables the determination of antioxidants such as cystine and gallic acid with a linear range of 0.1-10 μM. The core-shell Au@Ag nanostars are further immobilized in agarose gels to fabricate test strips, which can display different color changes in the presence of HAuCl4 from 0 to 1000 μM. The agarose-based test strip is also capable of detecting antioxidants in real samples, which allows naked-eye readout and quantitative detection by a smartphone.

Abstract
Electrochemical biosensors have been widely applied in the development of metabolite detection systems for disease management. However, conventional intravenous and fingertip blood tests are invasive and cannot track dynamic trends of multiple metabolites. Among various body fluids, saliva can be easily accessed and is regarded as a promising candidate for non-invasive metabolite detection. Recent works on the development of electrochemical biosensors for monitoring salivary metabolites have demonstrated high sensitivity and wide linear range. However, most of this research has been focused on salivary detection of a single metabolite. Here, we present a dual-channel electrochemical biosensor for simultaneous detection of lactate and glucose in saliva based on a flexible screen-printed electrode with two working electrodes. The sensitivities of glucose and lactate channels were 18.7 μA/(mM·cm2) and 21.8 μA/(mM·cm2), respectively. The dual-channel biosensor exhibited wide linear ranges of 0-1500 μM for the glucose channel and 0-2000 μM for the lactate channel and the cross-talk between the two detection channels was negligible, which made it adequately suitable for sensing low-level salivary metabolites. Such attractive characteristics demonstrate the potential of this dual-analyte biosensor in the development of wearable devices for monitoring disease progression and fitness.

Abstract
The use of carbon nanomaterials (CNMs) in sensors and biosensor realization is one of the hottest topics today in analytical chemistry. In this work, a comparative in-depth study, exploiting different nanomaterial (MWNT-CO2H, -NH2, -OH and GNP) modified screen-printed electrodes (SPEs), is reported. In particular, the sensitivity, the heterogeneous electron transfer constant (k0), and the peak-to-peak separation (ΔE) have been calculated and analyzed. After which, an electrochemical amperometric sensor capable of determining uric acid (UA), based on the nano-modified platforms previously characterized, is presented. The disposable UA biosensor, fabricated modifying working electrode (WE) with Prussian Blue (PB), carbon nanotubes, and uricase enzyme, showed remarkable analytical performances toward UA with high sensitivity (CO2H 418 μA μM-1 cm-2 and bare SPE-based biosensor, 33 μA μM-1 cm-2), low detection limits (CO2H 0.5 nM and bare SPE-based biosensors, 280 nM), and good repeatability (CO2H and bare SPE-based biosensors, 5% and 10%, respectively). Moreover, the reproducibility (RSD%) of these platforms in tests conducted for UA determination in buffer and urine samples results are equal to 6% and 15%, respectively. These results demonstrate that the nanoengineered electrode exhibited good selectivity and sensitivity toward UA even in the presence of interfering species, thus paving the way for its application in other bio-fluids such as simple point-of-care (POC) devices.

Abstract
The microfluidic paper-based analytical devices (μPADs) have grown-up swiftly over the decade due to its low cost, simple fabrication procedure, resource-limitedness, non-toxicity and their environmentally benign nature. The μPADs, also identified as point-of-care devices or health care devices have successfully applied in several fields such as diagnostics, biological, food safety, environmental, electrochemical and most importantly colorimetric/fluorimetric sensors, owing to the attractive passive motions of analyte without any external forces. In recent years, a large number of colorimetric and fluorimetric probes have been reported that can selectively recognize the analytes in μPADs. However, there is no organized review on its structure-activity relationship. In this review, we have focused to summarize the colorimetric and fluorimetric probes utilized in μPADs. This review discuss about the relationships between the structure and functions of various probes as signaling units of the efficient μPADs. The probes including nanomaterials, nanozymes, polymers and organic molecules, their structural activity with regard to sensing performances along with their limit of detection are also discussed. This review is expected to assist readers for better understanding of the sensing mechanisms of various chemo and bio-probes utilized in μPADs, as well as promote their advancement in the field. On the other hand, this review also helps the researchers for enhancement of μPADs and paves way for synergistic application of existing molecular probes as an effective diagnostic tool for the worldwide pandemic novel corona virus COVID-19.

Abstract
Microfluidic paper analytical devices (µPADs) represent one of the most appealing trends in the development of simple and inexpensive analytical systems for diagnostic applications at the point of care (POC). Herein, we describe a smartphone-based origami µPAD for the quantitative determination of glucose in blood samples based on the glucose oxidase-catalyzed oxidation of glucose leading to hydrogen peroxide, which is then detected by means of the luminol/hexacyanoferrate(III) chemiluminescent (CL) system. By exploiting the foldable µPAD format, a two-step analytical procedure has been implemented. First, the diluted blood sample was added, and hydrogen peroxide was accumulated, then the biosensor was folded, and a transport buffer was added to bring hydrogen peroxide in contact with CL reagents, thus promoting the CL reaction. To enable POC applicability, the reagents required for the assay were preloaded in the µPAD so that no chemicals handling was required, and a 3D-printed portable device was developed for measuring the CL emission using the smartphone’s CMOS camera. The µPAD was stable for 30-day storage at room temperature and the assay, displaying a limit of detection of 10 µmol L−1, proved able to identify both hypoglycemic and hyperglycemic blood samples in less than 20 min.

Abstract
Nanomaterial-based artificial enzymes (or nanozymes) have attracted great attention in the past few years owing to their capability not only to mimic functionality but also to overcome the inherent drawbacks of the natural enzymes. Numerous advantages of nanozymes such as diverse enzyme-mimicking activities, low cost, high stability, robustness, unique surface chemistry, and ease of surface tunability and biocompatibility have allowed their integration in a wide range of biosensing applications. Several metal, metal oxide, metal-organic framework-based nanozymes have been exploited for the development of biosensing systems, which present the potential for point-of-care analysis. To highlight recent progress in the field, in this review, more than 260 research articles are discussed systematically with suitable recent examples, elucidating the role of nanozymes to reinforce, miniaturize, and improve the performance of point-of-care diagnostics addressing the ASSURED (affordable, sensitive, specific, user-friendly, rapid and robust, equipment-free and deliverable to the end user) criteria formulated by World Health Organization. The review reveals that many biosensing strategies such as electrochemical, colorimetric, fluorescent, and immunological sensors required to achieve the ASSURED standards can be implemented by using enzyme-mimicking activities of nanomaterials as signal producing components. However, basic system functionality is still lacking. Since the enzyme-mimicking properties of the nanomaterials are dictated by their size, shape, composition, surface charge, surface chemistry as well as external parameters such as pH or temperature, these factors play a crucial role in the design and function of nanozyme-based point-of-care diagnostics. Therefore, it requires a deliberate exertion to integrate various parameters for truly ASSURED solutions to be realized. This review also discusses possible limitations and research gaps to provide readers a brief scenario of the emerging role of nanozymes in state-of-the-art POC diagnosis system development for futuristic biosensing applications.

Abstract
Modified metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) doping with enzymes exhibit high enzyme stability and catalytic performance, which is a research hotspot in the field of enzyme-based sensing. Although the MOF-enzyme constitutes a 3D structure in the nanoscale, the macroscopic assembly configuration still stays in 1D or 2D structures, limiting sensing applications towards complex biological targets. Herein, the MOF-enzyme hybrid nanosystem was assembled into 3D porous conductive supports via a controllable physical embedding method, displaying high enzymatic loading, stability and cascade catalytic performance. The modified MOFs combing with enzymes served as a sensing reaction system, and the conductive hollow fiber membranes (HFMs) served as a functional platform. The multifunctional device integrates pumpless hydrodynamic transport, interconnected conductive polymer, and blood separation modules, showing fast capillary fluid flow, trace sampling (3 μL), high selectivity and accuracy. The linear sensing range was in 2-24 mM glucose, 0.05-6 mM lactic acid, and 0.1-10 mM cholesterol, respectively, with sensitivities of 24.2, 150, 73.6 nA mM-1. Furthermore, this strategy of modular assembly of biosensing array can easily implement multiplex metabolites detection simultaneously.

Abstract
Microfluidic paper-based analytical devices (μPADs) have developed rapidly in recent years, because of their advantages, such as small sample volume, rapid detection rates, low cost, and portability. Due to these characteristics, they can be used for in vitro diagnostics in the laboratory, or in the field, for a variety of applications, including food evaluation, disease screening, environmental monitoring, and drug testing. This review will present various detection methods employed by μPADs and their respective applications for the detection of target analytes. These include colorimetry, electrochemistry, chemiluminescence (CL), electrochemiluminescence (ECL), and fluorescence-based methodologies. At the same time, the choice of labeling material and the design of microfluidic channels are also important for detection results. The construction of novel nanocomponents and different smart structures of paper-based devices have improved the performance of μPADs and we will also highlight some of these in this manuscript. Additionally, some key challenges and future prospects for the use of μPADs are briefly discussed.

Abstract
Uric acid analysis is extremely important for gout prognosis, diagnosis and treatment. Previous technologies either lack specificity or exhibit poor performance, and thus could not meet the need of Point-of-Care (POC) uric acid monitoring. Here we present for the first time, a novel electrochemical biosensor based on 3D Super-Aligned Carbon NanoTube (SACNT) array to facilitate POC uric acid monitoring. The working electrode of the biosensor is composed of an orderly 3D SACNT array immobilized with uricase through a precipitation and crosslinking procedure. Such biosensor possesses a higher enzyme density, significantly larger contact area with reactants and could maintain the intact SACNT structure and its excellent conductivity after modification. The developed 3D SACNT array electrochemical biosensor benefits from high specific surface area, high electro-catalytic activity and large contact area with analytes, and demonstrates high sensitivity of 518.8 μA/(mM⋅cm2), wide linear range of 100-1000 μM and low limit of detection of 1 μM for uric acid. Dynamic uric acid monitoring has been achieved using the presented biosensor. And the obtained results in serum samples had no significant difference compared with those obtained using the FDA-approved electrochemical analyzer (Paired T-test, p > 0.05). These demonstrated that the technology can potentially be applied in POC monitoring of other biomolecules to improve prognosis, diagnosis and treatment outcomes of metabolic diseases.

Abstract
A recent development in portable biosensors allows rapid, accurate, and on-site detection of biomarkers, which helps to prevent disease spread by the control of sources. Less invasive sample collection is necessary to use portable biosensors in remote environments for accurate on-site diagnostics and testing. For non- or minimally invasive sampling, easily accessible body fluids, such as saliva, sweat, blood, or urine, have been utilized. It is also imperative to find accurate biomarkers to provide better clinical intervention and treatment at the onset of disease. At the same time, these reliable biomarkers can be utilized to monitor the progress of the disease. In this review, we summarize the most recent development of portable biosensors to detect various biomarkers accurately. In addition, we discuss ongoing issues and limitations of the existing systems and methods. Lastly, we present the key requirements of portable biosensors and discuss ideas for functional enhancements.

Abstract
Nanoparticle-based optical sensors are capable of highly sensitive and selective chemical interactions and can form the basis of molecular recognition for various classes of analytes. However, their incorporation into standardized in vitro assays has been limited by their incompatibility with packaging or form factors necessary for specific applications. Here, we have developed a technique for immobilizing nIR-fluorescent single-walled carbon nanotube (SWCNT) sensors on seven different types of paper substrates including nitrocellulose, nylon, poly(vinylidene fluoride), and cellulose. Sensors remain functional upon immobilization and exhibit nIR fluorescence in nonaqueous solvent systems. We then extend this system to the Corona Phase Molecular Recognition (CoPhMoRe) approach of synthetic molecular recognition by screening ssDNA-wrapped SWCNTs with different sequences against a panel of fat-soluble vitamins in canola oil, identifying a sensor which responds to β-carotene with a dissociation constant of 2.2 μM. Moreover, we pattern hydrophobic regions onto nitrocellulose using the wax printing method and form one-dimensional sensor barcodes for rapid multiplexing. Using a sensor array of select ssDNA wrappings, we are able to distinguish between Cu(II), Cd(II), Hg(II), and Pb(II) at a concentration of 100 μM. Finally, we demonstrate that immobilized sensors remain fluorescent and responsive for nearly 60 days when stability is addressed. This work represents a significant step toward the deployment of fluorescent nanoparticle sensors for point-of-use applications.

Abstract
A simple, low-cost technique has been developed for the rapid fabrication of single-layered paper-based microfluidic devices (μPADs). This technique, for the first time, made use of the deposition of patterned adhesive tape into the filter paper to construct hydrophobic barriers, with the help of toluene. Unlike other reported multi-layered μPADs that merely made use of adhesive tape as a separate layer for sealing or fluid flow controlling, the patterned adhesive tape was simultaneously dissolved and penetrated into the filter paper, which resulted in the successful transfer of the pattern from the tape to the filter paper. To demonstrate the effectiveness of this approach, nitrite and glucose were individually measured; detection limits as low as 0.015 ± 0.004 mM and 0.022 ± 0.006 mM were reported for nitrite and glucose, respectively. Multiplexed analysis of both analytes was also carried out with respective detection limits of 0.048 ± 0.005 mM and 0.025 ± 0.006 mM for nitrite and glucose. The application of the method was demonstrated by measuring nitrite and glucose in spiked artificial urine samples and satisfied recovery results were obtained.

Abstract
The following article summarizes United States Patent Application No. US20180052155A1, titled ‘Assay Devices and Methods’ (filed 16 August 2016, published 22 February 2018). While lateral flow assays (LFAs) have revolutionized point-of-care diagnostics by enabling accurate, inexpensive, and rapid detection of biomarkers, they typically do not provide quantitative results. Hence, there is a significant need for quantitative assays at the point of care. This patent summary describes a novel method of chronometric biomarker quantitation via enzymatic degradation of a metastable gelatin-based biomatrix, principally suited for use in paper-based microfluidic devices (microPADs). This new quantitation mechanism was designed to meet the ASSURED criteria for point-of-care diagnostic devices laid forth by the World Health Organization and may ultimately provide increased access to healthcare, at a significantly reduced cost, around the world.

Abstract
Paper-based microfluidic devices have advanced significantly in recent years as they are affordable, automated with capillary action, portable, and biodegradable diagnostic platforms for a variety of health, environmental, and food quality applications. In terms of commercialization, however, paper-based microfluidics still have to overcome significant challenges to become an authentic point-of-care testing format with the advanced capabilities of analyte purification, multiplex analysis, quantification, and detection with high sensitivity and selectivity. Moreover, fluid flow manipulation for multistep integration, which involves valving and flow velocity control, is also a critical parameter to achieve high-performance devices. Considering these limitations, the aim of this review is to (i) comprehensively analyze the fabrication techniques of microfluidic paper-based analytical devices, (ii) provide a theoretical background and various methods for fluid flow manipulation, and iii) highlight the recent detection techniques developed for various applications, including their advantages and disadvantages.

Abstract
Herein, a novel paper-based chemiluminescence (CL) device has been reported for the estimation of total phenolic content of food samples. The CL system implemented on the paper was based on a hydrogen peroxide (H2O2)-rhodamine b (RhoB)-cobalt metal organic framework (CoMOF) reaction. It was found that the reaction of H2O2 with RhoB molecules, loaded into the nanopores of CoMOF (R@CoMOF), can produce an intensive CL emission. The experiments on the paper indicated that in the presence of CoMOF, the CL emission was greatly increased. In addition to this strong catalyzing effect, application of CoMOF on the paper improved the stability of the CL system for several days. As a useful analytical application for the obtained paper-based CL device (PCD), it was examined for the detection of phenolic antioxidants. It was observed that the addition of 5 μL of phenolic compounds (PC) on the paper containing the CL reagents can remarkably decrease the CL intensity. This effect was applied to design a simple analytical assay for PC. After the optimization process, the best sensitivity was obtained for gallic acid, quercetin, catechin, kaempferol, and caffeic acid with detection limits of 0.98, 1.36, 1.48, 1.81, and 2.55 ng mL-1, respectively. The relative standard deviations (RSD%) were also less than 5%. This study is the first report on the practical application of PCD using a nanomaterial assisted CL reaction. It is simple, portable, and low-cost and consumes a very low amount of reagents and sample solution. The device was successfully applied in the investigation of total antioxidant capacity of molasses and honey samples.

Abstract
A new highly green luminescent binuclear palladium 2-pyrazinecarboxamide-bipyridine complex [Pd(pyc)(bpy)] was prepared and characterized. The binuclear Pd(pyc)(bpy) complex doped in sol-gel matrix has a strong luminescence intensity at 547 nm with λex = 330 nm in water The method depends on the quenching of the luminescence intensity of the binuclear Pd(pyc)(bpy) complex at 547 nm by different concentrations of uric acid. The remarkable quenching of the luminescence intensity of the binuclear Pd(pyc)(bpy) complex, doped in a sol-gel matrix, by uric acid was successfully used for the determination of uric acid in serum samples of patients with hypouricemia disease. The calibration plot was achieved over the concentration 3.9 × 10-9 to 1.2 × 10-4 mol L-1uric acid with a correlation coefficient of 0.9 and a detection limit of 1.8 × 10-10 mol L-1. The method was used satisfactorily for the assessment of the uric acid in a number of serum samples collected from various patients with Hypouricemia disease.

Abstract
A main challenge for biomimetic non-enzyme biosensors is to achieve high selectivity. Herein, an innovative biomimetic non-enzyme sensor for electrochemical detection of uric acid (UA) with high selectivity and sensitivity is realized by growing Prussian blue (PB) nanoparticles on nitrogen-doped carbon nanotubes (N-doped CNTs). The enhancement mechanism of the biomimetic UA sensor is proposed to be atomically matched active sites between two reaction sites (oxygen atoms of 2, 8-trione, 6.9 Å) of UA molecule and two redox centers (FeII on the diagonal, 7.2 Å) of PB. Such an atomically matching manner not only promotes strong adsorption of UA on PB but also selectively enhances electron transfer between reaction sites of UA and active FeII centers of PB. This biomimetic UA sensor can offer great selectivity to avoid interferences from other oxidative and reductive species, showing excellent selectivity. An electrochemical biomimetic sensor based on PB/N-doped CNTs was applied to in situ detect UA in human serum, delivering a wide dynamic detection range (0.001-1 mM) and a low detection limit (0.26 μM). This work provides a high-performance UA sensor while shedding a scientific light on using atomic matching catalysis to fabricate highly sensitive and selective biomimetic sensors.

Abstract
In this work, an economical and easy-to-use microcapsule array fabricated by ice printing technique has been realized for ultrasensitive fluorescence quantification of copper ions employing functional nucleic acid strategy. With ice printing, the detection reagents are sealed by polystyrene (PS) film isolation and photopolymer, which guarantees a stable and contamination-free environment for functional nucleic acid reaction. Our microcapsule arrays have shown long-term stability (20 days) under -20 °C storage in frozen form before use. During the Cu2+ on-site detection, 1 μL sample is simply injected into the thawy microcapsule by a microliter syringe under room temperature, and after 20 minutes the fluorescence result can be obtained by an LED transilluminator. This method can realize the detection limit to 100 nM (100 fmol/μL) with high specificity.

Abstract
A three dimensional (3D) nanostructured composite based on the self-assembly of MoS2 nanospheres and polyaniline (PANI) loaded on reduced graphene oxide (denoted by 3D MoS2-PANI/rGO) was prepared via a feasible one-pot hydrothermal process. The 3D MoS2-PANI/rGO nanocomposite not only exhibits good functionality and bioaffinity but also displays high electrochemical catalytic activity. As such, the developed 3D MoS2-PANI/rGO nanocomposite can be employed as the sensing platform for simultaneously detecting small biomolecules, i.e., ascorbic acid (AA), dopamine (DA), and uric acid (UA). The peak currents obtained from the differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) measurements depended linearly on the concentrations in the wide range from 50 μM to 8.0 mM, 5.0 to 500 μM, and 1.0 to 500 μM, giving low detection limits of 22.20, 0.70, and 0.36 μM for AA, DA, and UA, respectively. Furthermore, the 3D MoS2-PANI/rGO-based electrochemical sensor also exhibited high selectivity, good reproducibility and stability toward small molecule detection. The present sensing strategy based on 3D MoS2-PANI/rGO suggests a good reliability in the trace determination of electroactive biomolecules. A three dimensional (3D) nanostructured composite based on the self-assembly of MoS2 nanospheres and polyaniline (PANI) loaded on reduced graphene oxide (denoted by 3D MoS2-PANI/rGO) was prepared via a feasible one-pot hydrothermal process.![]()

Abstract
Combining the surface modification and molecular imprinting technique, a novel piezoelectric sensing platform with excellent molecular recognition capability was established for the detection of uric acid (UA) based on the immobilization of TiO2 nanoparticles onto quartz crystal microbalance (QCM) electrode and modification of molecularly imprinted TiO2 (MIT) layer on TiO2 nanoparticles. The performance of the fabricated biosensor was evaluated, and the results indicated that the biosensor exhibited high sensitivity in UA detection, with a linear range from 0.04 to 45 μM and a limit of detection of 0.01 μM. Moreover, the biosensor presented high selectivity towards UA in comparison with other interferents. The analytical application of the UA biosensor confirmed the feasibility of UA detection in urine sample.

Abstract
Cuprous oxide nanoparticles (Cu2O NPs) were dispersed into a graphene oxide (GO) solution to form a homogeneous Cu2O-GO dispersion. After this, the cuprous oxide nanoparticles were functionalized to electrochemically reduce the graphene oxide decorated glassy carbon electrode (Cu2O-ErGO/GCE). This was prepared by coating the Cu2O-GO dispersion onto the surface of the glassy carbon electrode (GCE), which was followed by a potentiostatic reduction process. An irreversible two-electron reaction of uric acid (UA) was observed at the voltammetric sensor. Moreover, the high concentrations of dopamine (DA) and ascorbic acid (AA) hardly affected the peak current of UA, which suggested that Cu2O-ErGO/GCE have excellent selectivity for UA. This is probably because the response peaks of the three compounds are well-separated from each other. The oxidation peak current was proportional to the concentration of UA in the ranges of 2.0 nM−0.6 μM and 0.6 μM−10 μM, respectively, with a low limit of detection (S/N = 3, 1.0 nM) after an accumulation time of 120 s. Cu2O-ErGO/GCE was utilized for the rapid detection of UA in human blood serum and urine samples with satisfactory results.

Abstract
Paper is a versatile, flexible, porous, and eco-friendly substrate that is utilized in the fabrication of low-cost devices and biosensors for rapid detection of analytes of interest. Paper-based sensors provide affordable platforms for simple, accurate, and rapid detection of diseases, in addition to monitoring food quality, environmental and sun exposure, and detection of pathogens. Paper-based devices provide an inexpensive technology for fabrication of simple and portable diagnostic systems that can be immensely useful in resource-limited settings, such as in developing countries or austere environments, where fully-equipped facilities and highly trained medical staff are absent. In this work, we present the different types of paper that are currently utilized in fabrication of paper-based sensors, and common fabrication techniques ranging from wax printing to origami- and kirigami-based approaches. In addition, we present different detection techniques that are employed in paper-based sensors such as colorimetric, electrochemical, and fluorescence detection, chemiluminescence, and electrochemiluminescence, as well as their applications including disease diagnostics, cell cultures, monitoring sun exposure, and analysis of environmental reagents including pollutants. Furthermore, main advantages and disadvantages of different types of paper and future trends for paper-based sensors are discussed.

Abstract
This article describes a 3D microfluidic paper-based analytical device that can be used to conduct an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). The device comprises two parts: a sliding strip (which contains the active sensing area) and a structure surrounding the sliding strip (which holds stored reagents—buffers, antibodies, and enzymatic substrate—and distributes fluid). Running an ELISA involves adding sample (e.g. blood) and water, moving the sliding strip at scheduled times, and analyzing the resulting color in the sensing area visually or using a flatbed scanner. We demonstrate that this device can be used to detect C-reactive protein (CRP)—a biomarker for neonatal sepsis, pelvic inflammatory disease, and inflammatory bowel diseases—at a concentration range of 1–100 ng/mL in 1000-fold diluted blood (1–100 µg/mL in undiluted blood). The accuracy of the device (as characterized by the area under the receiver operator characteristics curve) is 89% and 83% for cut-offs of 10 ng/mL (for neonatal sepsis and pelvic inflammatory disease) and 30 ng/mL (for inflammatory bowel diseases) CRP in 1000-fold diluted blood respectively. In resource-limited settings, the device can be used as a part of a kit (containing the device, a fixed-volume capillary, a pre-filled tube, a syringe, and a dropper); this kit would cost ~ $0.50 when produced in large scale (>100,000 devices/week). This kit has the technical characteristics to be employed as a pre-screening tool, when combined with other data such as patient history and clinical signs. 3D microfluidic paper-based analytical device performs ELISA with colorimetric results. Two components enable separation of reagents in the device: a sliding-strip and a functional dock. All required reagents (antibodies, enzyme, substrate, buffers) are stored in the device. User only needs to add sample and water using the provided kit. Device can detect C-reactive protein for possible pre-screening of neonatal sepsis, pelvic inflammatory disease, or inflammatory bowel diseases.
