Abstract
A spinal cord injury is damage to the nerves and cells that receive and provide a signal from the brain to the rest of the body. Spinal injury causes changes in movement, sensation, and strength, affect the body functions near the injury site, and may lead to paralysis. S100β was found as a suitable biomarker for identifying spinal cord injury and its causing problem. Herein, S100β immunoassay was developed on interdigitated electrode sensor to diagnose spinal cord injury. For effective anti-S100β antibody immobilization, the antibody was premixed with 3-Aminopropyl)triethoxsilane and then attached to the hydroxylated interdigitated electrode surface. This method of antibody immobilization enhanced the antibody attachment two-times than the method without premix. Antibody-attached surfaces increased current responses as S100 concentrations increased, and the limit of detection was seen to be 1 pg/mL on the linearity until 3000 pg/mL at an R2 value of 0.9907 [y = 7x - 6.4667]. Further, biofouling experiments with glial fibrillary acidic protein and γ-aminobutyric acid failed to enhance the current response, indicating the specific detection of S100β. This immunoassay identifies S100β at its lower level and helps to diagnose spinal cord injury and its related problem.

Abstract
Since the outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), efficient real-time monitoring has become one of the challenges faced in SARS-CoV-2 virus detection. A compact all-fiber Mach-Zehnder interferometer optofluidic sensor based on a hollow eccentric core fiber (HECF) for the detection and real-time monitoring of SARS-CoV-2 spike glycoprotein (SARS-CoV-2 S2) is proposed, analyzed and demonstrated. The sensor is comprised of fusion splicing single mode fiber (SMF), hollow core fiber (HCF) and HECF. After the incident light passes through the HCF from the SMF, it uniformly enters the air hole and the suspended micrometer-scale fiber core of the HECF to form a compact all-fiber Mach-Zehnder interferometer (MZI). HECF is side polished to remove part of the cladding that the suspended fiber core can contact the external environment. Subsequently, the mouse anti SARS-CoV-2 S2 antibody is fixed on the surface of the suspended-core for the sake of achieving high sensitivity and specific sensing of SARS-CoV-2 S2. The limit of detection (LOD) of the sensor is 26.8 pM. The proposed sensor has high sensitivity, satisfactory selectivity, and can be fabricated at low cost making it highly suitable for point-of-care testing and high-throughput detection of early stage of COVID-19 infection.

Abstract
Different types of enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISA) have been widely used to control food safety and quality. To develop an accurate and reproducible ELISA, false immunodetection results caused by non-specific binding (NSB) and cross-reaction must be prevented. During the case study of sandwich ELISA development for the detection of porcine hemoglobin (PHb), several critical factors leading to NSB and cross-reaction were found. First, to reduce the NSB of the target analyte, the selection of microplate and blocker was discussed. Second, cross-reactions between enzyme-labeled secondary antibodies and sample proteins were demonstrated. In addition, the function of (3-aminopropyl)triethoxysilane (APTES) was evaluated. Overall, this study highlights the essence of both antibody and assay validation to minimize any false-positive/negative immunodetection results.

Abstract
Vertically interrogated porous silicon (PSi) interferometric biosensors have shown high potential for sensing bio-molecules as they combine high detection sensitivity with simplicity of fabrication, functionalization, optical coupling, and interfacing with microfluidic systems. However, most interferometric sensor designs require either broadband or wavelength-tunable light sources as well as wide-angle detection schemes, increasing their complexity and cost for point-of-care biosensing applications. The limit of detection of such sensors is also constrained by the small size and low refractive index of biological molecules, making it hard to detect very low concentrations of pathogens. In this work, we use a large-scale computational "inverse design" technique to demonstrate a single-frequency, fixed-angle PSi-based biosensor, which exploits a recently developed high-contrast reporter cleavage detection (HCCD) technique. The HCCD sensors detect high-index reporter cleavage events instead of low-index target analyte capture events as typical for traditional label-free optical biosensors. We use the inverse design approach to discover an optimal configuration of a PSi biosensor that makes use of the extended achievable range of cleavage-induced PSi effective index variations and can be interrogated at a single frequency and at a fixed angle. The optimized design in the form of a one-dimensional PSi grating exhibits the change in the reflectance up to 55 % at the interrogation angle of 12∘ and wavelength of 600 nm, which is caused by cleavage of Au nanoparticle reporters initially occupying 2% of the sensor surface area. The maximum possible change in reflectance is predicted to be 222 % (for a two-dimensional freeform design not amenable to fabrication). This demonstration may pave the way for developing new or redesigned conventional interferometric and colorimetric point-of-care biosensor systems in combination with the cleavage-based detection schemes.

Abstract
Protein tyrosine sulfation (PTS), a vital post-translational modification, facilitates protein–protein interactions and regulates many physiological and pathological responses. Monitoring PTS has been difficult owing to the instability of sulfated proteins and the lack of a suitable method for detecting the protein sulfate ester. In this study, we combined an in situ PTS system with a high-sensitivity polysilicon nanowire field-effect transistor (pSNWFET)-based sensor to directly monitor PTS formation. A peptide containing the tyrosine sulfation site of P-selectin glycoprotein ligand (PSGL)-1 was immobilized onto the surface of the pSNWFET by using 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane and glutaraldehyde as linker molecules. A coupled enzyme sulfation system consisting of tyrosylprotein sulfotransferase and phenol sulfotransferase was used to catalyze PTS of the immobilized PSGL-1 peptide. Enzyme-catalyzed sulfation of the immobilized peptide was readily observed through the shift of the drain current–gate voltage curves of the pSNWFET before and after PTS. We expect that this approach can be developed as a next generation biochip for biomedical research and industries.

Abstract
Research in bioelectronics is highly interdisciplinary, with many new developments being based on techniques from across the physical and life sciences. Advances in our understanding of the fundamental chemistry underlying the materials used in bioelectronic applications have been a crucial component of many recent discoveries. In this review, we highlight ways in which a chemistry-oriented perspective may facilitate novel and deep insights into both the fundamental scientific understanding and the design of materials, which can in turn tune the functionality and biocompatibility of bioelectronic devices. We provide an in-depth examination of several developments in the field, organized by the chemical properties of the materials. We conclude by surveying how some of the latest major topics of chemical research may be further integrated with bioelectronics.

Abstract
Inspired by adhesive mussel proteins, nanospherical self-assemblies were prepared from bolaamphiphiles containing 3,4-dihydroxyphenylalanine (DOPA) moieties, and a suspension of the bolaamphiphile assemblies was used for the preparation of a patterned surface that enhanced cell adhesion and viability. The abundant surface-exposed catechol groups on the robust bolaamphiphile self-assemblies were responsible for their outstanding adhesivity to various surfaces and showed purely elastic mechanical behaviour in response to tensile stress. Compared to other polydopamine coatings, the spherical DOPA-bolaamphiphile assemblies were coated uniformly and densely on the surface, yielding a nano-embossed surface. Cell culture tests on the surface modified by DOPA-bolaamphiphiles also showed enhanced cellular adhesivity and increased viability compared to surfaces decorated with other catecholic compounds. Furthermore, the guided growth of a cell line was demonstrated on the patterned surface, which was prepared by inkjet printing using a suspension of the self-assembled particles as an ink. The self-assembly of DOPA-bolaamphiphiles shows that they are a promising adhesive, biocompatible material with the potential to modify various substances.

Abstract
This paper describes a silica nanoparticle-modified microfluidic paper-based analytical device (μPAD) with improved color intensity and uniformity for three different enzymatic reactions with clinical relevance (lactate, glucose, and glutamate). The μPADs were produced on a Whatman grade 1 filter paper and using a CO2 laser engraver. Silica nanoparticles modified with 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane were then added to the paper devices to facilitate the adsorption of selected enzymes and prevent the washing away effect that creates color gradients in the colorimetric measurements. According to the results herein described, the addition of silica nanoparticles yielded significant improvements in color intensity and uniformity. The resulting μPADs allowed for the detection of the three analytes in clinically relevant concentration ranges with limits of detection (LODs) of 0.63 mM, 0.50 mM, and 0.25 mM for lactate, glucose, and glutamate, respectively. An example of an analytical application has been demonstrated for the semi-quantitative detection of all three analytes in artificial urine. The results demonstrate the potential of silica nanoparticles to avoid the washing away effect and improve the color uniformity and intensity in colorimetric bioassays performed on μPADs.

Abstract
An improved enzyme-linked immunosorbent (ELISA) assay using one-step antibody immobilization has been developed for the detection of human fetuin A (HFA), a specific biomarker for atherosclerosis and hepatocellular carcinoma. The anti-HFA formed a stable complex with 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane (APTES) by ionic and hydrophobic interactions. The complex adsorbed on microtiter plates exhibited a detection range of 4.9 pg mL(-1) to 20 ng mL(-1) HFA, with a limit of detection of 7 pg mL(-1). Furthermore, an analytical sensitivity of 10 pg mL(-1) was achieved, representing a 51-fold increase in sensitivity over the commercial sandwich ELISA kit. The results obtained for HFA spiked in diluted human whole blood and plasma showed the same precision as the commercial kit. When stored at 4°C in 0.1 M phosphate-buffered saline (PBS, pH 7.4), the anti-HFA bound microtiter plates displayed no significant decrease in their functional activity after two months. The new ELISA procedure was extended for the detection of C-reactive protein, human albumin and human lipocalin-2 with excellent analytical performance.

Abstract
In this manuscript, we report on the elaboration of nickel thin films, isolated clusters and nanowires on silicon, glass and polymers by a low temperature deposition technique. The process is based on the thermal decomposition of Ni (η(4)-C(8)H(12))(2) at temperatures as low as 80 °C, which exclusively yields metallic Ni and a volatile by-product. The low temperature of the process makes it compatible with most of the substrates, even polymers and organic layers. Several deposition techniques are explored, among them spin coating of the organometallic complex in solution, which allows controlling nickel film thickness down to several nanometers. The density of the film can be varied by the speed of the spin coater with the formation of nanowires being observed for an optimized speed. The nanowires form a network of parallel lines on silicon and the phenomenon will be discussed as a selective dewetting of the organometallic precursor. All samples are fully characterized by SEM, EDS, cross-sectional HRTEM, ellipsometry, AFM, MFM and SQUID magnetic measurements.

Abstract
The present work describes a methodology for patterning biomolecules on silicon-based analytical devices that reconciles 3-D biological functionalization with standard resist lift-off techniques. Unlike classic sol-gel approaches in which the biomolecule of interest is introduced within the sol mixture, a two-stage scenario has been developed. It consists first of patterning micrometer/submicrometer polycondensate scaffold structures, using classic microfabrication tools, that are then loaded with native biomolecules via a second simple incubation step under biologically friendly environmental conditions. The common compatibility issue between the biological and microfabrication worlds has been circumvented because native recognition biomolecules can be introduced into the host scaffold downstream from all compatibility issues. The scaffold can be generated on any silicon substrate via the polycondensation of aminosilane, namely, aminopropyltriethoxy silane (APTES), under conditions that are fully compatible with resist mask lithography. The scaffold porosity and high primary amine content allow proteins and nucleic acid sequences to penetrate the polycondensate and to interact strongly, thus giving rise to micrometer/submicrometer 3-D structures exhibiting high biological activity. The integration of such a biopatterning approach in the microfabrication process of silicon analytical devices has been demonstrated via the successful completion of immunoassays and nucleic acid assays.

Abstract
In this chapter, the basic concepts behind ellipsometry and spectroscopic ellipsometry are discussed along with some instrument details. Ellipsometry is an optical technique that measures changes in the reflectance and phase difference between the parallel (RP) and perpendicular (RS) components of a polarized light beam upon reflection from a surface. Aside from providing a simple, sensitive, and nondestructive way to analyze thin films, ellipsometry allows dynamic studies of film growth (thickness and optical constants) with a time resolution that is relevant to biomedical research. The present chapter intends to introduce ellipsometry as an emerging but highly promising technique, that is useful to elucidate the interactions of proteins with solid surfaces. In this regard, particular emphasis is placed on experimental details related to the development of biomedically relevant conjugated surfaces. Results from our group related to adsorption of proteins to nanostructured materials, as well as results published by other research groups, are discussed to illustrate the advantages and limitations of the technique.

Abstract
A rapid detection and identification of pathogens is important for minimizing transfer and spread of disease. A label-free and multiplex biosensor based on imaging ellipsometry (BIE) had been developed for the detection of phage M13KO7. The surface of silicon wafer is modified with aldehyde, and proteins can be patterned homogeneously and simultaneously on the surface of silicon wafer in an array format by a microfluidic system. Avidin is immobilized on the surface for biotin-anti-M13 immobilization by means of interaction between avidin and biotin, which will serve as ligand against phage M13KO7. Phages M13KO7 are specifically captured by the ligand when phage M13KO7 solution passes over the surface, resulting in a significant increase of mass surface concentration of the anti-M13 binding phage M13KO7 layer, which could be detected by imaging ellipsometry with a sensitivity of 109 pfu/ml. Moreover, atomic force microscopy is also used to confirm the fact that phage M13KO7 has been directly captured by ligands on the surface. It indicates that BIE is competent for direct detection of phage M13KO7 and has potential in the field of virus detection.

Abstract
A large number of methods using direct detection with label-free systems are known. They compete with the well-introduced fluorescence-based methods. However, recent applications take advantage of label-free detection in protein-protein interactions, high-throughput screening, and high-content screening. These new applications require new strategies for biosensors. It becomes more and more obvious that neither the transduction principle nor the recognition elements for the biomolecular interaction process alone determine the quality of the biosensor. Accordingly, the biosensor system has to be considered as a whole. This chapter focuses on strategies to optimize the detection platform and the biomolecular recognition layer. It concentrates on direct detection methods, with special focus on optical transduction. Since even this restriction still leaves a large number of methods, only microrefractometric and microreflectometric methods using planar transducers have been selected for a detailed description and a listing of applications. However, since many review articles on the physical principles exist, the description is kept short. Other methods are just mentioned in brief and for comparison. The outlook and the applications demonstrate the future perspectives of direct optical detection in bioanalytics.

Abstract
The ellipsometric measurement of thickness is demonstrated using a computer screen as a light source and a webcam as a detector, adding imaging off-null ellipsometry to the range of available computer screen photoassisted techniques. The results show good qualitative agreement with a simplified theoretical model and a thickness resolution in the nanometer range is achieved. The presented model can be used to optimize the setup for sensitivity. Since the computer screen serves as a homogeneous large area illumination source, which can be tuned to different intensities for different parts of the sample, a large sensitivity range can be obtained without sacrificing thickness resolution.

Abstract
Two neutralizing human scFv, b1 and h12 were identified initially using ELISA,employing highly purified virus as the coating antigen. The biosensor technique based on imaging ellipsometry was employed directly to detect two neutralizing monoclonal antibodies and serial serum samples from 10 SARS patients and 12 volunteers who had not SARS. Further, the kinetic process of interaction between the antibodies and SARS-CoV was studied using the real-time function of the biosensor. The biosensor is consistent with ELISA that the antibody h12 showed a higher affinity in encountering the virus than antibody b1. The affinity of antibody b1 and antibody h12 was 9.5 x 10(6) M(-1) and 1.36 x 10(7) M(- 1), respectively. As a label free method, the biosensor based on imaging ellipsometry proved to be a more competent mechanism for measuring serum samples from SARS patients and the affinity between these antibodies and the SARS coronavirus.

Abstract
The sensitivity of immunosensors is strongly dependent on the amount of immobilised antibodies and their remaining antigen binding properties. The use of smaller and well-oriented antibody fragments as bioreceptor molecules influences the final immunosensor signal. The aim of this study was to compare the immunosensor responses of different immobilised antibody fragments, such as F(ab')2 and Fab', with their parental IgG. In addition, we evaluated the oriented versus the random covalent immobilisation method of the Fab' fragments. First, an optimisation of cleavage protocol to generate these F(ab')2 and Fab' fragments was performed. Subsequently, we pursued a study with limited denaturation effects during immobilisation of the bioreceptor molecules and with reduced steric hindrance during antigen binding using mixed self-assembled monolayers (SAM) of thiols as the chemical linking layer. The Surface Plasmon Resonance technique was used to evaluate the degree of immobilisation of the antibody fragments and their parental IgGs on the mixed SAMs and the binding signals of their specific antigens. In this study, we demonstrate that for a particular antibody/antigen system (anti-hIgG/hIgG), the optimised fragmentation protocol in combination with an oriented immobilisation of Fab' fragments on mixed SAMs leads to a >2-fold increase of the antigen binding signals compared to randomly covalent immobilised full-length antibodies.

Abstract
Specific and reversible adhesion of a terminal thymine-functionalized polystyrene (PS-thymine) was demonstrated for a silicon surface with complementary adenine recognition sites. A novel adenine-containing triethoxysilane (ADPTES), which was suitable for covalent attachment to silanol containing surfaces, was synthesized in one step from adenine and 3-isocyanatopropyl triethoxysilane (IPTES). 1H and 13C NMR spectroscopy and fast atom bombardment mass spectroscopy confirmed the chemical structure, and 29Si NMR spectroscopy indicated the absence of any premature hydrolysis of the alkoxysilane derivative. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and water contact angle measurements indicated the attachment of PS-thymine to silicon surfaces that were modified with a mixture of ADPTES and 3-mercaptopropyl triethoxysilane (MPTES). PS-thymine attachment to surfaces that were modified with only MPTES was not observed. The exclusive attachment of PS-thymine to an ADPTES/MPTES-modified surface confirmed hydrogen bonding-mediated adenine-thymine association to silicon surfaces containing a sufficiently low concentration of adenine recognition sites. Although PS-thymine attachment to the ADPTES/MPTES-modified surfaces was insensitive to THF rinsing, the PS-thymine was completely removed from the surface upon DMSO rinsing because of the disruption of adenine-thymine hydrogen bonding with a more polar aprotic solvent. PS-thymine was successfully reattached to the ADPTES/MPTES-modified surface following the DMSO rinse, demonstrating the solvato-reversible nature of the adenine-thymine association.
