Abstract
Electrochemical immunosensors have gained considerable attention in detecting human disease markers due to their excellent specificity, high sensitivity, and facile operation. Herein, a rational-designed sandwich-type electrochemical immunosensor is constructed for the sensitive detection of cardiac troponin I (cTnI) using nitrogen-doped carbon nanotubes loaded with gold nanoparticles (Au NPs/N-CNTs) as substrate and highly active mesoporous palladium-nitrogen nanocubes (meso-PdN NCs) as secondary antibody markers. Benefitting from its large specific surface area (638.04 m2 g-1) and high nitrogen content, novel polydopamine (PDA)/ halloysite nanotubes (HNTs) hybrid derived one-dimensional (1D) N-CNTs can provide more binding sites for the in-situ growth of Au NPs to connect Ab1. Furthermore, as an ideal substrate material, Au NPs/N-CNTs exhibit finely tuned mesoporous structures and outstanding conductivity, which facilitate the mass and electron transfer during the electrocatalysis process. Besides, highly concave surfaces and crystalline mesopores of meso-PdN NCs expose more surfaces and crevices, providing abundant reactive sites for H2O2 reduction. Remarkably, the as-obtained immunosensor presented a wide linear range (from 10 fg mL-1 to 100 ng mL-1) and an excellent low detection limit (9.85 fg mL-1). This study may offer new insights into the precise fabrication of efficient electrochemical immunosensors for various clinical diagnosis applications.

Abstract
The early diagnosis of acute myocardial infarction (AMI) is dependent on the combined feedback of multiple cardiac biomarkers. However, it remains challenging to precisely detect multicardiac biomarkers in complex blood early due to the lack of sensitive and specific diagnostic indicators and the low abundance and small size of associated biomarkers with high specificity (such as microRNAs). To make matters worse, spectral overlap significantly limits the multiplex analysis of cardiac biomarkers by fluorescent probes, leading to bias in the diagnosis of myocardial infarction. Herein, we developed a method for simultaneous detection of miRNAs and protein biomarkers using size- and color-coded microbeads that carry signature for target capture. We also constructed a microfluidic chip with different spacer arrays that segregate these microbeads in different chip regions according to their size to produce signature signals, indicating the level of different biomarkers. The signals on the microbeads were hugely amplified by catalytic hairpin assembly and rolling circle amplification. Notably, this strategy enables the simultaneous and in situ sensitive profiling of six kinds of biomarkers via adding two different fluorescent labels, removing the limitations of spectral overlap. We envision that the strategy has great potential for application in clinical diagnosis for AMI.

Abstract
Integrating electrochemistry into capillary-flow driven immunoassay devices provides unique opportunities for quantitative point-of-care testing. Although custom electrodes can be inexpensive and are tunable, they require skilled fabrication. Here, we report the incorporation of a commercial electrode into a capillary-flow driven immunoassay (iceCaDI) device for a single end-user step sandwich electrochemical enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). The iceCaDI device is a pump-free portable microfluidic device with an integrated commercial screen-printed electrode and flow driven by capillary action. The iceCaDI device is composed of alternating polyester transparency film and double-sided adhesive film layers that are patterned with a laser cutter. This platform was designed to address known limitations of laminated device fabrication methods and operation. First, we developed a foldable laminated device fabrication using hinges for easy assembly and precise alignment. Second, reagent dispersing was achieved by incorporating a 1 mm wide arrow-shaped notch in the middle of the channel that trapped an air bubble and formed a baffle that facilitated reagent spreading to cover the detection area. Third, small vent holes were added to the top layer of the channels to prevent air bubbles from blocking flow. Finally, we fabricated a CRP immunosensor with a detection range of 0.625 to 10.0 μg mL-1 as a proof-of-concept to demonstrate an automatically driven sandwich electrochemical ELISA using the iceCaDI device. Three concentrations of CRP were successfully measured under flow conditions within 8 min. Our proposed device is a promising approach and a step forward in the development of point-of-care (POC) devices for techniques that traditionally require multiple user steps.

Abstract
Myocardial infarction (MI) is a cardiovascular disease that occurs when there is an elevated demand for myocardial oxygen as a result of the rupture or erosion of atherosclerotic plaques. Globally, the mortality rates associated with MI are steadily on the rise. Traditional diagnostic biomarkers employed in clinical settings for MI diagnosis have various drawbacks, prompting researchers to investigate fast, precise, and highly sensitive biosensor platforms and technologies. Biosensors are analytical devices that combine biological elements with physicochemical transducers to detect and quantify specific compounds or analytes. These devices play a crucial role in various fields including healthcare, environmental monitoring, food safety, and biotechnology. Biosensors developed for the detection of cardiac biomarkers are typically electrochemical, mass, and optical biosensors. Nanomaterials have emerged as revolutionary components in the field of biosensing, offering unique properties that significantly enhance the sensitivity and specificity of the detection systems. This review provides a comprehensive overview of the advancements and applications of nanomaterial-based biosensing systems. Beginning with an exploration of the fundamental principles governing nanomaterials, we delve into their diverse properties, including but not limited to electrical, optical, magnetic, and thermal characteristics. The integration of these nanomaterials as transducers in biosensors has paved the way for unprecedented developments in analytical techniques. Moreover, the principles and types of biosensors and their applications in cardiovascular disease diagnosis are explained in detail. The current biosensors for cardiac biomarker detection are also discussed, with an elaboration of the pros and cons of existing platforms and concluding with future perspectives.

Abstract
Cardiac troponin I (cTnI), a gold biomarker for the diagnosis of acute myocardial infarction (AMI), plays a vital role in the early diagnosis, treatment and prognosis analysis of AMI. In this paper, an electrochemical biosensor for the highly sensitive determination of cTnI was fabricated based on the dual signal amplification strategy of electron transfer atom transfer radical polymerization (ARGET ATRP) and ring-opening polymerization (ROP) for the first time. Briefly, the thiolate cTnI-aptamer 1, which was bonded to the electrode via Au-S bonds, specifically captured cTnI to the electrode surface. Then, cTnI-aptamer 2 (Apt2) was successfully introduced to the electrode surface to form Apt-cTnI-Apt sandwich structure. Subsequently, the initiator BIBB was connected to Apt2 through bromination reaction, and then the resulting ATRP polymer was employed as a macromolecular initiator for the succeeding reaction. Next, the monomers, α-amino acid-N-carboxylic acid anhydride ferrocene derivatives (NCA-Fc), used for the ROP reaction produced numerous electroactive polymers on the electrode surface. The dual action of ARGET ATRP and ROP significantly improved sensitivity of cTnI biosensor assay, the prepared biosensor displayed a wide linear detection range from 100 fg mL-1 to 100 ng mL-1, with a detection limit of 32.24 fg mL-1. The method exhibited favorable selectivity, simple operation and excellent stability. Furthermore, the biosensor still rendered satisfactory analytical performance in the detection of clinical serum samples, indicating the application potential in clinical diagnosis.

Abstract
Oblique-incidence reflectivity difference (OIRD) is a compelling technique for real-time, label-free and non-destructive detection of antibody microarray chips, but its sensitivity needs essential improvement for clinical diagnosis. In this study, we report an innovative high-performance OIRD microarray by using poly[oligo(ethylene glycol) methacrylate-co-glycidyl methacrylate] (POEGMA-co-GMA) brush grafted fluorine-doped tin oxide (FTO) as the chip substrate. The polymer brush enhances the interfacial binding reaction efficiency of targets from the complicated sample matrix due to its high antibody loading and excellent anti-fouling merits; the FTO-polymer brush layered structure, on the other hand, excites the interference enhancement effect of OIRD to achieve enhanced intrinsic optical sensitivity. Synergistically, the sensitivity of this chip is significantly improved compared to rival chips, achieving a limit of detection (LOD) as low as 25 ng mL-1 for the model target C-reactive protein (CRP) in 10% human serum. This work explores the tremendous influence of the chip interfacial structure on the OIRD sensitivity and proposes a rational interfacial engineering strategy to boost the performance of the label-free OIRD based microarray and other bio-devices.

Abstract
The prevalence of mutated species of COVID-19 antigens has provided a strong impetus for identifying a cost-effective, rapid and facile strategy for identifying the viral loads in public places. The ever-changing genetic make-up of SARS-CoV-2 posts a significant challenfge for the research community to identify a robust mechanism to target, bind and confirm the presence of a viral load before it spreads. Synthetic DNA constructs are a novel strategy to design complementary DNA sequences specific for antigens of interest as in this review's case SARS-CoV-2 antigens. Small molecules, complementary DNA and protein-DNA complexes have been known to target analytes in minimal concentrations. This phenomenon can be exploited by nanomaterials which have unique electronic properties such as ballistic conduction. Graphene is one such candidate for designing a device with a very low LOD in the order of zeptomolar and attomolar concentrations. Surface modification will be the significant aspect of the device which needs to have a high degree of sensitivity at the same time as providing a rapid signaling mechanism.

Abstract
Phospholipid-based materials exhibit great application potential in the fields of chemistry, biology, and pharmaceutical sciences. In this study, an inside-out oriented choline phosphate molecule, 2-{2-(methacryloyloxy)ethyldimethylammonium}ethyl n-butyl phosphate (MBP), was proposed and verified as a novel ligand of C-reactive protein (CRP) to enrich the functionality of these materials. Compared with phosphorylcholine (PC)-CRP interactions, the binding between MBP and CRP was not affected by the reverse position of phosphate and choline groups and even found more abundant binding sites. Thus, high-density MBP-grafted biomimetic magnetic nanomaterials (MBP-MNPs) were fabricated by reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer polymerization based on thiol-ene click chemistry. The novel materials exhibited multifunctional applications for CRP including purification and ultrasensitive detection. On the one hand, higher specificity, recovery (90%), purity (95%), and static binding capacity (198.14 mg/g) for CRP were achieved on the novel materials in comparison with traditional PC-based materials, and the enriched CRP from patient serum can maintain its structural integrity and bioactivity. On the other hand, the CRP detection method combining G-quadruplex and thioflavin T developed with MBP-MNPs showed a lower detection limit (10 pM) and wider linear range (0.1-50 nM) than most PC-functionalized analytical platforms. Therefore, the inside-out oriented choline phosphate can not only precisely recognize CRP but also be combined with biomimetic nanomaterials to provide high application potential.

Abstract
Novel Janus nanoparticles based on Au colloids anisotropically modified with polyamidoamine dendrons were prepared though a masking/toposelective modification approach. These nanomaterials were further functionalized with horseradish peroxidase on the dendritic face and provided on the opposite metal surface with a ssDNA aptamer for C-reactive protein (CRP). The resulting nanoparticles were employed as biorecognition/signaling elements to construct an amperometric aptasensor with sandwich-type architecture for the specific detection of this cardiac biomarker. To do this, screen-printed carbon electrodes modified with electrodeposited Au nanoparticles and functionalized with anti-CRP aptamers were used as transduction interface. The aptasensor was employed for the amperometric detection of CRP (working potential: - 200 mV vs pseudo-Ag/AgCl) in the broad range from 10 pg·mL-1 to 1.0 ng·mL-1 with a detection limit of 3.1 pg·mL-1. This electroanalytical device also showed good specificity, reproducibility (RSD = 9.8%, n = 10), and stability and was useful to quantify CRP in reconstituted human serum samples, with a RSD of 13.3%.

Abstract
Cardiac troponin I (cTnI) plays an important role in emergency diagnosis of cardiovascular diseases, which exists predominately in the form of cardiac troponin I-C (cTnI-C) complex. We proposed a fiber-integrated optofluidic chip immunosensor with time-delay-dispersion based microwave photonic analyzer (MPA) for cTnI-C detection. The whispering gallery mode (WGM) fiber probe was fabricated by embedding a polydopamine functionalized hollow glass microsphere (HGMS) into the etched capillary-fiber structure, and the WGMs could be excited through the efficient coupling between the thin-wall capillary and the HGMS. The reflective WGM optofluidic chip functioned as a wavelength tuner to construct fiber ring laser cavity, whose laser output wavelength was cTnI-C concentration-dependent. The tiny wavelength variation of sensing laser was converted into a radio-frequency (RF) response, which was retrieved by measuring the change of RF-domain free spectrum range (FSR) in time-delay-dispersion based MPA, and the quantitative detection of cTnI-C complex can be achieved with high resolution. Experimental results show that this immunosensor had a limit of detection (LOD) of 0.59 ng/mL, and a detection resolution of 1.2 fg/mL. The relative resolving power was 102-104-fold higher than that of others optical fiber cTnI biosensors. The proposed fiber-integrated optofluidic chip provides an innovative lab-on-chip diagnostic tool for myocardial damage.

Abstract
C-reactive protein (CRP), an acute-phase protein synthesized in the liver in response to inflammation, is one of the biomarkers used for the detection of several diseases. Sepsis and cardiovascular diseases are two of the most important diseases for which detection of CRP at very early stages in the clinical range can help avert serious consequences. Here, a CNT-based nanobiosensing system, which is portable and reproducible, is used for label-free, online detection of CRP. The system consists of an aptameric CNT-based field-effect transistor benefiting from a buried gate geometry with Al2O3 as a high dielectric layer and can reflect the pro-cytokine concentration. Test results show that the device responds to CRP changes within 8 min, with a limit of detection as low as 150 pM (0.017 mg L-1). The device was found to have a linear behavior in the range of 0.43-42.86 nM (0.05-5 mg L-1). The selectivity of the device was tested with TNF-α, IL-6, and BSA, to which the nanosensing system showed no significant response compared with CRP. The device showed good stability for 14 days and was completely reproducible during this period. These findings indicate that the proposed portable system is a potential candidate for CRP measurements in the clinical range.

Abstract
The use of nanoprobes in sensors is a popular way to amplify their analytical performance. Coupled with two-dimensional nanomaterials, nanoprobes have been widely used to construct fluorescence, electrochemical, electrochemiluminescence (ECL), colorimetric, surface enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) and surface plasmon resonance (SPR) sensors for target molecules' detection due to their extraordinary signal amplification effect. The MoS2 nanosheet is an emerging layered nanomaterial with excellent chemical and physical properties, which has been considered as an ideal supporting substrate to design nanoprobes for the construction of sensors. Herein, the development and application of molybdenum disulfide (MoS2)-based nanoprobes is reviewed. First, the preparation principle of MoS2-based nanoprobes was introduced. Second, the sensing application of MoS2-based nanoprobes was summarized. Finally, the prospect and challenge of MoS2-based nanoprobes in future were discussed.

Abstract
C-reactive protein (CRP) is an important biomarker of infection and inflammation, as CRP is one of the most prominent acute-phase proteins. CRP is usually detected using anti-CRP antibodies (Abs), where the intermolecular interactions between CRP and the anti-CRP Ab are largely affected by the pH and ionic strength of environmental solutions. Therefore, it is important to understand the environmental effects of CRP–anti-CRP Ab interactions when designing highly sensitive biosensors. Here, we investigated the efficiency of fluorescently labeled CRP–anti-CRP monoclonal antibody (mAb) interactions at different pHs and ionic strengths. Our results indicate that the affinity was insensitive to pH changes in the range of 5.9 to 8.1, while it was significantly sensitive to ionic strength changes. The binding affinity decreased by 55% at an ionic strength of 1.6 mM, when compared to that under a physiological condition (~150 mM). Based on the isoelectric focusing results, both the labeled CRP and anti-CRP mAb were negatively charged in the studied pH range, which rendered the system insensitive to pH changes, but sensitive to ionic strength changes. The decreased ionic strength led to a significant enhancement of the repulsive force between CRP and the anti-CRP mAb. Although the versality of the findings is not fully studied yet, the results provide insights into designing highly sensitive CRP sensors, especially field-effect transistor-based sensors.

Abstract
The eutrophication of lakes and rivers without adequate rainfall leads to excessive growth of cyanobacterial harmful algal blooms (CyanoHABs) that produce toxicants, green tides, and unpleasant odors. The rapid growth of CyanoHABs owing to global warming, climate change, and the development of rainforests and dams without considering the environmental concern towards lakes and rivers is a serious issue. Humans and livestock consuming the toxicant-contaminated water that originated from CyanoHABs suffer severe health problems. Among the various toxicants produced by CyanoHABs, microcystins (MCs) are the most harmful. Excess accumulation of MC within living organisms can result in liver failure and hepatocirrhosis, eventually leading to death. Therefore, it is essential to precisely detect MCs in water samples. To date, the liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) have been the standard methods for the detection of MC and provide precise results with high reliability. However, these methods require heavy instruments and complicated operation steps that could hamper the portability and field-readiness of the detection system. Therefore, in order for this goal to be achieved, the biosensor has been attracted to a powerful alternative for MC detection. Thus far, several types of MC biosensor have been proposed to detect MC in freshwater sample. The introduction of material is a useful option in order to improve the biosensor performance and construct new types of biosensors. Introducing nanomaterials to the biosensor interface provides new phenomena or enhances the sensitivity. In recent times, different types of nanomaterials, such as metallic, carbon-based, and transition metal dichalcogenide-based nanomaterials, have been developed and used to fabricate biosensors for MC detection. This study reviews the recent advancements in different nanomaterial-based MC biosensors.

Abstract
As a major cause of deaths in developed countries, cardiovascular disease (CVD) has been a big burden for human health systems. Its early and rapid detection is crucial to efficiently apply appropriate on time therapy and to ultimately reduce the associated mortality rate. Aptamers, known as single-stranded DNA/RNA or oligonucleotides containing receptors and/or catalytic properties, have been widely employed in biodetection platforms due to their beneficial properties. Like antibodies, aptamers have served as artificial target receptors in affinity biosensors. Currently, advanced biosensors with improved sensitivity and specificity are fabricated by the synergistic combination of aptamers and diverse nanomaterials. Herein, we review the current development and applications of nanomaterial-based aptasensors for the recognition of CVD biomarkers with special emphasis on electrochemical and optical technologies. The performance of aptasensors has been assessed further in terms of key quality assurance metrics along with discussions on recent technologies developed for the amplification of signals with enhanced portability.

Abstract
The accurate assay of cardiac troponin I (cTnI) is very important for acute myocardial infarction (AMI), it also can be employed as an effective index for screening serious patients in COVID-19 pandemic before fatal heart injury to reduce the mortality. A ratiometric sensing strategy was proposed based on electrochemiluminescent (ECL) signal of doxorubicin (Dox)-luminol or the electrochemical (EC) signal of methylene blue (MB) vs. referable EC signal of Dox. The bio-recognitive Tro4-aptamer ensures the high specificity of the sensor by affinity binding to catch cTnI, and the tetrahedral DNA (TDs) on Au/Ti3C2-MXene built an excellent sensing matrix. An in situ hybrid chain reaction (HCR) amplification greatly improved the sensitivity. The ratiometric sensing responses ECLDox-luminol/CurrentDox or CurrentMB/CurrentDox linearly regressed to cTnI concentration in the range of 0.1 fM-1 pM or 0.1 fM-500 fM with the limit of detection (LOD) as 0.04 fM or 0.1 fM, respectively. Served as the reference signal, CurrentDox reflected the variation of sensor, it is very effective to ensure the accuracy of detection to obviate the false results. The proposed biosensors show good specificity, sensitivity, reproducibility and stability, have been applied to determine cTnI in real samples with satisfactory results. They are worth looking forward to be used for screening serious patient of COVID-19 to reduce the mortality, especially in mobile cabin hospital.

Abstract
Acute myocardial infarction (AMI) is the main cause of death from cardiovascular diseases. Thus, early diagnosis of AMI is essential for the treatment of irreversible damage from myocardial infarction. Traditional electrocardiograms (ECG) cannot meet the specific detection of AMI. Cardiac troponin I (cTnI) is the main biomarker for the diagnosis of myocardial infarction, and the detection of cTnI content has become particularly important. In this review, we introduced and compared the advantages and disadvantages of various cTnI detection methods. We focused on the analysis and comparison of the main indicators and limitations of various cTnI biosensors, including the detection range, detection limit, specificity, repeatability, and stability. In particular, we pay more attention to the application and development of electrochemical biosensors in the diagnosis of cardiovascular diseases based on different biological components. The application of electrochemical microfluidic chips for cTnI was also briefly introduced in this review. Finally, this review also briefly discusses the unresolved challenges of electrochemical detection and the expectations for improvement in the detection of cTnI biosensing in the future.

Peroxidase-mimicking nanozyme with surface-dispersed Pt atoms for the colorimetric lateral flow immunoassay of C-reactive protein. Mikrochim Acta 2021; 188:309. [PMID: 34453188 DOI: 10.1007/s00604-021-04968-x] [Citation(s) in RCA: 13] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/29/2021] [Accepted: 07/30/2021] [Indexed: 02/06/2023]
Abstract
Platinum-containing nanozymes with peroxidase-mimicking activity (PMA) have found a broad application in bioanalytical methods and are potentially able to compete with enzymes as the labels. However, traditionally used methods for the synthesis of nanozymes result in only a small fraction of surface-exposed Pt atoms, which participate in catalysis. To overcome this limitation, we propose a new approach for the synthesis of nanozymes with the efficient dispersion of Pt atoms on particles' surfaces. The synthesis of nanozymes includes three steps: the synthesis of gold nanoparticles (Au NPs), the overgrowth of a silver layer over Au NPs (Au@Ag NPs, 6 types of NPs with different thicknesses of Ag shell), and the galvanic replacement of silver with PtCl62- leading to the formation of trimetallic Au@Ag-Pt NPs with uniformly deposited catalytic sites and high Pt-utilization efficiency. Au@Ag-Pt NPs (23 types of NPs with different concentrations of Pt) with various sizes, morphology, optical properties, and PMA were synthesized and comparatively tested. Using energy-dispersive spectroscopy mapping, we confirm the formation of core@shell Au@Ag NPs and dispersion of surface-exposed Pt. The selected Au@Ag-Pt NPs were conjugated with monoclonal antibodies and used as the colorimetric and catalytic labels in lateral flow immunoassay of the inflammation biomarker: C-reactive protein (CRP). The colorimetric signal enhancement was achieved by the oxidation of 3,3'-diaminobenzidine by H2O2 catalyzed by Au@Ag-Pt NPs directly on the test strip. The use of Au@Ag-Pt NPs as the catalytic label produces a 65-fold lower limit of CRP detection in serum (15 pg mL-1) compared with Au NPs and ensures the lowest limit of detection for equipment-free lateral flow immunoassays. The assay shows a high correlation with data of enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (R2 = 0.986) and high recovery (83.7-116.2%) in serum and plasma. The assay retains all the benefits of lateral flow immunoassay as a point-of-care method.

Abstract
Nucleic acids, including deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and ribonucleic acid (RNA), are natural biopolymers composed of nucleotides that store, transmit, and express genetic information. Overexpressed or underexpressed as well as mutated nucleic acids have been implicated in many diseases. Therefore, nucleic acid tests (NATs) are extremely important. Inspired by intracellular DNA replication and RNA transcription, in vitro NATs have been extensively developed to improve the detection specificity, sensitivity, and simplicity. The principles of NATs can be in general classified into three categories: nucleic acid hybridization, thermal-cycle or isothermal amplification, and signal amplification. Driven by pressing needs in clinical diagnosis and prevention of infectious diseases, NATs have evolved to be a rapidly advancing field. During the past ten years, an explosive increase of research interest in both basic research and clinical translation has been witnessed. In this review, we aim to provide comprehensive coverage of the progress to analyze nucleic acids, use nucleic acids as recognition probes, construct detection devices based on nucleic acids, and utilize nucleic acids in clinical diagnosis and other important fields. We also discuss the new frontiers in the field and the challenges to be addressed.

Abstract
The problems of chronic or noncommunicable diseases (NCD) that now kill around 40 million people each year require multiparametric combinatorial diagnostics for the selection of effective treatment tactics. This could be implemented using the biosensor principle based on peptide aptamers for spatial recognition of corresponding protein markers of diseases in biological fluids. In this paper, a low-cost label-free principle of biomarker detection using a biosensor system based on fluorometric registration of the target proteins bound to peptide aptamers was investigated. The main detection principle considered includes the re-emission of the natural fluorescence of selectively bound protein markers into a longer-wavelength radiation easily detectable by common charge-coupled devices (CCD) using a specific luminophore. Implementation of this type of detection system demands the reduction of all types of stray light and background fluorescence of construction materials and aptamers. The latter was achieved by careful selection of materials and design of peptide aptamers with substituted aromatic amino acid residues and considering troponin T, troponin I, and bovine serum albumin as an example. The peptide aptamers for troponin T were designed in silico using the «Protein 3D» (SPB ETU, St. Petersburg, Russia) software. The luminophore was selected from the line of ZnS-based solid-state compounds. The test microfluidic system was arranged as a flow through a massive of four working chambers for immobilization of peptide aptamers, coupled with the optical detection system, based on thick film technology. The planar optical setup of the biosensor registration system was arranged as an excitation-emission cascade including 280 nm ultraviolet (UV) light-emitting diode (LED), polypropylene (PP) UV transparent film, proteins layer, glass filter, luminophore layer, and CCD sensor. A laboratory sample has been created.

Abstract
Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) being one of the principal causes of death and acquired disability in the world imposes a large burden on the global economy. Mild TBI (mTBI) is particularly challenging to assess due to the frequent lack of well-pronounced post-injury symptoms. However, if left untreated mTBI (especially when repetitive) can lead to serious long-term implications such as cognitive and neuropathological disorders. Computer tomography and magnetic resonance imaging commonly used for TBI diagnostics require well-trained personnel, are costly, difficult to adapt for on-site measurements and are not always reliable in identifying small brain lesions. Thus, there is an increasing demand for sensitive point-of-care (POC) testing tools in order to aid mTBI diagnostics and prediction of long-term effects. Biomarker quantification in body fluids is a promising basis for POC measurements, even though establishing a clinically relevant mTBI biomarker panel remains a challenge. Actually, a minimally invasive, rapid and reliable multianalyte detection device would allow the efficient determination of injury biomarker release kinetics and thus support the preclinical evaluation and clinical validation of a proposed biomarker panel for future decentralized in vitro diagnostics. In this respect electrochemical biosensors have recently attracted great attention and the present article provides a critical study on the electrochemical protocols suggested in the literature for detection of mTBI-relevant protein biomarkers. The authors give an overview of the analytical approaches for transduction element functionalization, review recent technological advances and highlight the key challenges remaining in view of an eventual integration of the proposed concepts into POC diagnostic solutions.

Abstract
The development of highly sensitive electrochemiluminescence (ECL) immunosensors by using functional nanoparticles as signal amplifiers is a solution towards sensitive determination of many low concentration disease biomarkers. Herein, a sensitive aptamer-based, sandwich-type surface plasmon enhanced electrochemiluminescence (SPEECL) immunosensor was demonstrated for the detection of cardiac troponin I (cTnI), by means of aptamer conjugated CdS QDs and AuNPs as ECL luminophores and plasmon sources, respectively, in which Tro4 aptamer was used as a capture probe for cTnI and Tro6 aptamer as a detecting probe. The signal of the developed SPEECL system showed ~ 5-fold increment as compared to that of without AuNPs. Using this ECL platform for the detection of cTnI, a linear range and the limit of detection (LOD) were found to be 1 fg/mL - 10 ng/mL and 0.75 fg/mL, respectively.
