[PMID: 39296324 PMCID: PMC11410389 DOI: 10.1063/5.0222244] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/06/2024] [Accepted: 08/23/2024] [Indexed: 09/21/2024]
Abstract
Textile-based microfluidic biosensors represent an innovative fusion of various multidisciplinary fields, including bioelectronics, material sciences, and microfluidics. Their potential in biomedicine is significant as they leverage textiles to achieve high demands of biocompatibility with the human body and conform to the irregular surfaces of the body. In the field of microfluidics, fabric coated with hydrophobic materials serves as channels through which liquids are transferred in precise amounts to the sensing element, which in this case is a biosensor. This paper presents a condensed overview of the current developments in textile-based microfluidics and biosensors in biomedical applications over the past 20 years (2005-2024). A literature search was performed using the Scopus database. The fabrication techniques and materials used are discussed in this paper, as these will be key in various modifications and advancements in textile-based microfluidics. Furthermore, we also address the gaps in the application of textile-based microfluidic analytical devices in biomedicine and discuss the potential solutions. Advances in textile-based microfluidics are enabled by various printing and fabric manufacturing techniques, such as screen printing, embroidery, and weaving. Integration of these devices into everyday clothing holds promise for future vital sign monitoring, such as glucose, albumin, lactate, and ion levels, as well as early detection of hereditary diseases through gene detection. Although most testing currently takes place in a laboratory or controlled environment, this field is rapidly evolving and pushing the boundaries of biomedicine, improving the quality of human life.

Abstract
Endocrine disruptive compounds are natural or anthropogenic environmental micropollutants that alter the function of the endocrine system ultimately damaging the metabolism. Bisphenol A (BPA) is the most common of these pollutants and it is often used in epoxy coatings and polycarbonates as a plasticizer. Therefore, monitoring BPA levels in different environments is very important and challenging. In recent years, an increasing number of BPA detection methods have been proposed. This article presents a critical review of aptamer-based electrochemical, fluorescence-based, colorimetric, and several other BPA detection platforms published in the last decade. Furthermore, a statistical evaluation has been made using principle component analysis showing analytical performance parameters do not create very different clusters. Comparisons to other BPA detection methods are also presented so that the reader has an overall literature overview.

Abstract
In the current work, copper tungsten oxide (CuWO4) nanoparticles are incorporated with carbon nanofiber (CNF) to form CNF/CuWO4 nanocomposite through a facile hydrothermal method. The prepared CNF/CuWO4 composite was applied to the electrochemical detection of hazardous organic pollutants of 4-nitrotoluene (4-NT). The well-defined CNF/CuWO4 nanocomposite is used as a modifier of glassy carbon electrode (GCE) to form CuWO4/CNF/GCE electrode for the detection of 4-NT. The physicochemical properties of CNF, CuWO4, and CNF/CuWO4 nanocomposite were examined by various characterization techniques, such as X-ray diffraction studies, field emission scanning electron microscopy, EDX-energy dispersive X-ray microanalysis, and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy. The electrochemical detection of 4-NT was evaluated using cyclic voltammetry (CV) the differential pulse voltammetry detection technique (DPV). The aforementioned CNF, CuWO4, and CNF/CuWO4 materials have better crystallinity with porous nature. The prepared CNF/CuWO4 nanocomposite has better electrocatalytic ability compared to other materials such as CNF, and CuWO4. The CuWO4/CNF/GCE electrode exhibited remarkable sensitivity of 7.258 μA μM-1 cm-2, a low limit of detection of 86.16 nM, and a long linear range of 0.2-100 μM. The CuWO4/CNF/GCE electrode exhibited distinguished selectivity, acceptable stability of about 90%, and well reproducibility. Meanwhile, the GCE/CNF/CuWO4 electrode has been applied to real sample analysis with better recovery results of 91.51 to 97.10%.

Abstract
The prerequisites for rapid screening of total bacteria in drinking water are low detection limit and convenience. Inspired by commercial adenosine 5'-triphosphate (ATP) based total bacterial detection kits, we pursued likewise convenience but with much lower detection limit. Existing intercalation fluorescence-based techniques employ multiple reagents to permeate the cell membrane and intercalate dye into the DNA in discrete sequential steps. A simple multi-functional reagent is proposed to do the same within one step. Surfactants (TritonX and SDS), and intercalating dyes (SYBR green, SYBR gold) were examined for their mutual compatibility and augmented with EDTA. Evaluation was performed with Gram negative Escherichia coli K12 (E. coli K12) and Gram positive Bacillus subtilis (B. subtilis) at serial dilution ratios from 10-6 to 10-2. Comparison was made with absorbance (600 nm) measurements and a commercial ATP kit. Using charge integrated photodetection, the proposed 1-step reagent achieved an LOD (1.00 × 10-6, B. subtilis) that is two orders of magnitude lower than that of ATP kit (LOD = 1.06× 10-4). This means it could detect minute quantity of total bacteria that is otherwise undetected by the ATP kit.

Abstract
Phenolic compounds are particularly dangerous due to their ability to remain in the environment for a long period of time and their toxic effects. They enter in the environment in different ways, such as waste from paper manufacturing, agriculture (pesticides, insecticides, herbicides), pharmaceuticals, the petrochemical industry, and coal processing. Conventional methods for phenolic compounds detection present some disadvantages, such as cumbersome sample preparation, complex and time-consuming procedures, and need of expensive equipment. Therefore, there is a very large interest in developing sensors and new sensing schemes for fast and easy-to-use methods for detecting and monitoring the phenolic compound concentration in the environment, with special attention to water. Good analytical properties, reliability, and adaptability are required for the developed sensors. The present paper aims at revising the most generally used optical methods for designing and fabricating biosensors and sensors for phenolic compounds. Some selected examples of the most interesting applications of these techniques are also proposed.

Abstract
We demonstrated the feasibility of using ozonation to enhance the performance of dsDNA binding dye SYBR Green I in the fluorescence measurement of total bacterial load in water. Unlike its membrane permeable but expensive equivalent such as SYTO82 dye, SYBR Green I is many times cheaper but membrane impermeable. Ozonation allowed SYBR Green I dye to permeate the membrane and bind with the dsDNA within by first breaching it. Using E. coli K12 bacteria at serial dilution ratios from 1/1 (980 CFU mL−1) to 1/200, we achieved corresponding quantification from 618.7 ± 9.4 to 68.0 ± 1.9 RFU (100 to 11.00% normalized RFU). In comparison, plate counting and optical density measurement were only able to quantify up till a serial dilution ratio of 1/50 (40 CFU mL−1 and 0.0421, respectively). Most importantly with ozonation, the sensitivity of SYBR Green I dye based fluorescence measurement was improved by ∼140 to 210% as compared to that without ozonation. Given its low electrical power consumption, lab-on-chip compatibility and reagent-less nature, ozonation is highly compatible with portable fluorimeters to realize low-cost monitoring of total bacterial load in water. Principle of ozonation enhanced dsDNA binding dye based fluorescence measurement of total bacterial load in water.![]()

Abstract
The purpose of this study is to investigate the possibility of improving the performance of a DNA binding dye water quenching based aptasensor without changing or truncating the aptamer. To demonstrate the possibility of increasing the change in fluorescence of the aptasensor by pairing it with a suitable ssDNA probe, three ssDNA probes (probe 1, 2, and 3) were employed and the fluorescence from the bound dyes was measured. This showed that ssDNA probe 2 created the most additional binding sites. By varying the target compound concentration (0, 0.05, 0.5, 5, 50, and 500 mg L−1 4-n-nonylphenol), the corresponding change in the fluorescence signal of the unpaired and ssDNA probe paired aptasensors were measured and compared over a range of emission wavelengths. The response of all three ssDNA probe paired aptasensors showed good fit (R2 = 0.88–0.92) to a logarithmic response. The sensitivity of the aptasensor paired with ssDNA probe 2 was improved by ∼60%, whereas that of the aptasensor paired with ssDNA probe 3 was only improved by a marginal ∼3%. This study is a demonstration of using an appropriate ssDNA probe to increase the number of binding sites and hence the performance of a DNA binding dye and water quenched aptasensor. It is a possibility that can be extended to similar aptasensors without having to change or truncate the aptamer. Principle of an ssDNA paired aptasensor where extra dye binding sites are created to enhance its fluorescence response.![]()

Abstract
In this paper, we developed a non-equilibrium rapid replacement aptamer (NERRA) assay that performed ultra-fast (in 30 s) quantitative detection of phthalic acid esters (PAEs) without waiting for the reaction to reach equilibrium. NERRA assay employed fluorescence PoPo3 dye intercalated in an ssDNA aptamer to selectively detect and quantify the PAEs in water. As the intercalated dye was replaced by the PAEs and quenched in the water, the rate of fluorescence change became proportional to PAEs concentration. The sensitivity of NERRA assay was first evaluated with a commercial spectrofluorometer. The selectivity for PAE mixture, individual PAEs, and non-phthalate compounds were also investigated. NERRA assay was also able to quantitatively detect the PAEs in a common plastic product (picnic mat), and the results were compared with those of gas chromatography mass spectrometry. Finally, a custom analyzer (8.5 cm × 8.5 cm × 16.5 cm) was built to demonstrate the portability of the NERRA assay. Using a commercial spectrofluorometer, NERRA assay was able to quantitatively detect a PAE mixture in 30 min with an LOQ of 0.1 μg/L. Using the portable custom analyzer, the detection time was shortened to 30 s with a tradeoff in the LOQ (1 μg/L). In both cases, the LOQs remain within the environmentally relevant PAE concentrations of 0.1-1472 μg/L.

A novel SWCNT-amplified "signal-on" electrochemical aptasensor for the determination of trace level of bisphenol A in human serum and lake water. Mikrochim Acta 2020; 187:500.

Abstract
A novel "signal-on" electrochemical aptasensor was developed for ultrasensitive and specific detection of BPA, using single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNT) as the electro-catalytic probe for further signal amplification. The multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNT), amino-functionalized magnetite, and gold nanoparticles (NH2-Fe3O4/Au NPs) were applied first to modify the glassy carbon electrode (GCE) surface and to form a nanomaterial film with satisfactory conductive properties, stability, and biocompatibility. The BPA aptamer was then loaded onto the sensing platform by hybridization with complementary DNA (CDNA). In the presence of BPA it combines with the aptamer and the BPA-aptamer conjugate was released from the electrode;subsequently the added SWCNT and CDNA assembled quickly. Thus, the dual-amplification of the "signal-on" electrochemical aptasensor takes effect. The [Fe (CN)6]3-/4- redox probe signal (∆I) detected by DPV (differential pulse voltammetry) is proportional to the negative logarithm of BPA concentration between 10-19 M and 10-14 M. The detection limit is 0.08 aM. Importantly, the proposed biosensor represents a successful application for determination of BPA in human serum and lake water. Schematic representation of SWCNT-amplified "signal-on" electrochemical aptasensor for the detection of trace level of bisphenol A in human serum and lake water.

Abstract
The raw material of resin, Bisphenol A (BPA), is an endocrine-disrupting compound that can be continuously released into the environment and directly harms health. In this study, luffa sponge was used as the raw material to prepare magnetic carbon chemicals for laccase immobilization and BPA degradation. The MLC-1 was synthesized by one-step carbonization-magnetization method, which showed good magnetic properties and a strong load capacity for laccase. Compared with free laccase, Laccase@MLC-1 showed stronger thermal stability, better acid-tolerate performance and reusability. Moreover, Laccase@MLC-1 showed higher BPA degradation efficiency than free laccase. 100 mg/L of BPA can be completely removed by Laccase@MLC-1 in 4 h, while only 62.70% of BPA was removed by the same amount of free laccase. By improving reuse strategies, a complete BPA degradation ratio was obtained in each reoperation process. All results proved that Laccase@MLC-1 might be a suitable biocatalyst candidate for BPA removal.

Abstract
2,4-Dinitrotoluene (2,4-DNT) is a nitro aromatic compound used as a raw material for trinitrotoluene (TNT) explosive synthesis along with several other industrial applications. Easy, rapid, cost-effective, and selective detection of 2,4-DNT is becoming essential due to its hepato carcinogenic nature and presence in surface as well as ground water as a contaminant. Keeping this in view, this research, for the first-time, reports the synthesis of novel ZnO–Ag2O composite nanoflowers on a gold (Au) substrate, to fabricate an electrochemical sensor for label-free, direct sensing of 2,4-DNT selectively. The proposed ZnO–Ag2O/Au sensor exhibits a sensitivity of 5 μA μM−1 cm−2 with a low limit of detection (LOD) of 13 nM, in a linear dynamic range (LDR) of 0.4 μM to 40 μM. The sensor showed reasonably high re-usability and reproducibility, with reliable results for laboratory and real-world samples. 2,4-Dinitrotoluene (2,4-DNT) is a nitro aromatic compound used as a raw material for trinitrotoluene (TNT) explosive synthesis along with several other industrial applications.![]()

Abstract
Bisphenol A (BPA) has been identified as one of the endocrine disrupting chemicals. However, the issue that BPA widely exists in various environments has puzzled people for decades. To develop highly efficient, easy separation, recyclable and reusable materials for BPA degradation in water, laccase-loaded magnetic nanoflowers (MNFs) were prepared by attaching amino-functionalized magnetic nanoparticles onto the laccase-inorganic hybrid nanoflowers. Characterization results showed that MNFs were spherical, porous and hierarchical structure with an average diameter of 15 μm to which magnetic nanoparticles was successfully attached through electrostatic force. MNFs exhibited excellent catalytic activity on BPA degradation under room temperature in the presence of ABTS. Under optimized conditions, MNFs reached 100% BPA degradation for only 5 min. In addition, it still retained over 92% of its initial activity after 60 days of storage at 4 °C, indicating that its thermal and storage stabilities have been improved. When the MNFs was recycled and reused 5 cycles, only 5% decrease in degradation efficiency of BPA was observed. These results suggest that MNFs possess great efficiency and reusability in the treatment of aqueous solution containing BPA and is a novel promising material.

Biosens Bioelectron 2019; 129:36-41. [PMID: 30682687 DOI: 10.1016/j.bios.2019.01.007] [Citation(s) in RCA: 28] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/01/2018] [Revised: 01/07/2019] [Accepted: 01/07/2019] [Indexed: 01/25/2023]
Abstract
A simple and sensitive electrochemiluminescence (ECL) aptasensor has been developed for bisphenol A (BPA) detection. The capture DNA (CDNA) was modified on the heated indium-tin-oxide (ITO) working electrode surface firstly and then hybridized with BPA aptamer to form double strand DNA (dsDNA). The presence of target can cause the releasing of aptamer from the electrode surface since the aptamer prefers to switch its configuration to combine with BPA. Subsequently, the free CDNA will induce hybridization chain reaction (HCR) to produce long dsDNA on the electrode surface. Ru(phen)32+ can integrate into the grooves of dsDNA to act as an ECL reagent, thus enhanced ECL signal can be detected. The temperature control during the processes of target recognition and HCR were realized through the heated electrode instead of the bulk solution heating. Furthermore, the performance of the ECL aptasensor can be further enhanced at elevated electrode temperature. Under the optimized conditions, the ECL intensity of the system has a linear relationship with the logarithm of BPA concentration in the range of 2.0 pM-50 nM. The limit of detection (LOD) at 55 °C (electrode surface temperature) was calculated to be 1.5 pM, which was approximately 6.5-fold lower than that at 25 °C. The proposed biosensor has been applied to detect the BPA in drink samples with satisfactory results.

Abstract
The NanoAptamer assay is a bisphenol A (BPA) quantification method that uses magnetic beads, quantum dot nanoparticles, and a BPA-specific aptamer. In this study, screening of various consumer and household products for BPA was demonstrated utilizing the NanoAptamer assay. First, the experimental conditions suitable for BPA detection using the NanoAptamer assay were examined in terms of incubation time, temperature, and buffer composition. The range of BPA quantification via the NanoAptamer assay was determined to be 0.005-1000 ng/mL of BPA. The selectivity was confirmed by detecting BPA in an analog mixture containing bisphenol S and bisphenol F. Finally, a leaching experiment using 20 consumer and household products classified into 4 categories was performed to demonstrate the capability of the NanoAptamer assay for BPA detection. The experiment was validated by high-performance liquid chromatography analysis (correlation coefficient, r = 0.99).

Abstract
DNA encodes the genetic information; recently, it has also become a key player in material science. Given the specific Watson-Crick base-pairing interactions between only four types of nucleotides, well-designed DNA self-assembly can be programmable and predictable. Stem-loops, sticky ends, Holliday junctions, DNA tiles, and lattices are typical motifs for forming DNA-based structures. The oligonucleotides experience thermal annealing in a near-neutral buffer containing a divalent cation (usually Mg2+ ) to produce a variety of DNA nanostructures. These structures not only show beautiful landscape, but can also be endowed with multifaceted functionalities. This Review begins with the fundamental characterization and evolutionary trajectory of DNA-based artificial structures, but concentrates on their biomedical applications. The coverage spans from controlled drug delivery to high therapeutic profile and accurate diagnosis. A variety of DNA-based materials, including aptamers, hydrogels, origamis, and tetrahedrons, are widely utilized in different biomedical fields. In addition, to achieve better performance and functionality, material hybridization is widely witnessed, and DNA nanostructure modification is also discussed. Although there are impressive advances and high expectations, the development of DNA-based structures/technologies is still hindered by several commonly recognized challenges, such as nuclease instability, lack of pharmacokinetics data, and relatively high synthesis cost.

Abstract
Miniaturizing the continuous multistep operations of a factory into a microchemical plant offers a safe and cost-effective approach to promote high-throughput screening in drug development and enforcement of industrial/environmental safety. While particle-assembled microdroplets in the form of liquid marble are ideal as microchemical plant, these platforms are mainly restricted to single-step reactions and limited to ex situ reaction monitoring. Herein, we utilize plasmonic liquid marble (PLM), formed by encapsulating liquid droplet with Ag nanocubes, to address these issues and demonstrate it as an ideal microchemical plant to conduct reaction-and-detection sequences on-demand in a nondisruptive manner. Utilizing a two-step azo-dye formation as our model reaction, our microchemical plant allows rapid and efficient diazotization of nitroaniline to form diazonium nitrobenzene, followed by the azo coupling of this intermediate with target aromatic compound to yield azo-dye. These molecular events are tracked in situ via SERS measurement through the plasmonic shell and further verified with in silico investigation. Furthermore, we apply our microchemical plant for ultrasensitive SERS detection and quantification of bisphenol A (BPA) with detection limit down to 10 amol, which is 50 000-fold lower than the BPA safety limit. Together with the protections offered by plasmonic shell against external environments, these collective advantages empower PLM as a multifunctional microchemical plant to facilitate small-volume testing and optimization of processes relevant in industrial and research contexts.

Abstract
Herein, novel and versatile electrochemical aptasensors were constructed on a self-supported nanoporous gold (np-Au) microelectrode, integrating with an exonuclease III (Exo III) induced signal amplification strategy. Self-supported np-Au microelectrode with 3D bicontinuous nanoporous structures possesses tremendously large specific area, clean surface, high stability and biocompatibility, bringing about significant advantages in both molecular recognition and signal response. As paradigms, two analytes of bisphenol A (BPA) and ochratoxin A (OTA) were selected to demonstrate the superiority and versatility of designed aptasensors. Trace amounts of mDNA (associated with BPA or OTA concentration) hybridized with cDNA strands assembled on np-Au microelectrode, activating the cleavage reaction with Exo III. Thus, cDNA was digested and mDNA was released to undergo a new hybridization and cleavage cycle. Finally, residual cDNA strands were recognized by methylene blue labelled rDNA/AuNPs with the assistance of hDNA to generate the electrochemical signals, which were used to quantitatively monitor targets. Under the optimized conditions, prepared aptasensors exhibited wide linear ranges (25pg/mL to 2ng/mL for BPA, 10pg/mL to 5ng/mL for OTA) with ultralow detection limits (10pg/mL for BPA, 5pg/mL for OTA), excellent selectivity and stability, and reliable detection in real samples. This work opens a new horizon for constructing promising electrochemical aptasensors for environmental monitoring, medical diagnostics and food safety.
