Abstract
Glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c), originating from the non-enzymatic glycosylation of βVal1 residues in hemoglobin (Hb), is an essential biomarker indicating average blood glucose levels over a period of 2 to 3 months without external environmental disturbances, thereby serving as the gold standard in the management of diabetes instead of blood glucose testing. The emergence of HbA1c biosensors presents affordable, readily available options for glycemic monitoring, offering significant benefits to small-scale laboratories and clinics. Utilizing nanomaterials coupled with high-specificity probes as integral components for recognition, labeling, and signal transduction, these sensors demonstrate exceptional sensitivity and selectivity in HbA1c detection. This review mainly focuses on the emerging probes and strategies integral to HbA1c sensor development. We discussed the advantages and limitations of various probes in sensor construction as well as recent advances in diverse sensing strategies for HbA1c measurement and their potential clinical applications, highlighting the critical gaps in current technologies and future needs in this evolving field.

MCC950 Ameliorates Diabetic Muscle Atrophy in Mice by Inhibition of Pyroptosis and Its Synergistic Effect with Aerobic Exercise. Molecules 2024; 29:712. [PMID: 38338456 PMCID: PMC10856337 DOI: 10.3390/molecules29030712] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/22/2023] [Revised: 01/17/2024] [Accepted: 02/01/2024] [Indexed: 02/12/2024] Open
Abstract
Diabetic muscle atrophy is an inflammation-related complication of type-2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Even though regular exercise prevents further deterioration of atrophic status, there is no effective mediator available for treatment and the underlying cellular mechanisms are less explored. In this study, we investigated the therapeutic potential of MCC950, a specific, small-molecule inhibitor of NLRP3, to treat pyroptosis and diabetic muscle atrophy in mice. Furthermore, we used MCC950 to intervene in the protective effects of aerobic exercise against muscle atrophy in diabetic mice. Blood and gastrocnemius muscle (GAS) samples were collected after 12 weeks of intervention and the atrophic state was assessed. We initially corroborated a diabetic muscle atrophy phenotype in db/db mice (D) by comparison with control m/m mice (W) by examining parameters such as fasting blood glucose (D vs. W: 24.47 ± 0.45 mmol L-1 vs. 4.26 ± 0.6 mmol L-1, p < 0.05), grip strength (D vs. W: 166.87 ± 15.19 g vs. 191.76 ± 14.13 g, p < 0.05), exercise time (D vs. W: 1082.38 ± 104.67 s vs. 1716 ± 168.55 s, p < 0.05) and exercise speed to exhaustion (D vs. W: 24.25 ± 2.12 m min-1 vs. 34.75 ± 2.66 m min-1, p < 0.05), GAS wet weight (D vs. W: 0.07 ± 0.01 g vs. 0.13 ± 0.01 g, p < 0.05), the ratio of GAS wet weight to body weight (D vs. W: 0.18 ± 0.01% vs. 0.54 ± 0.02%, p < 0.05), and muscle fiber cross-sectional area (FCSA) (D vs. W: 1875 ± 368.19 µm2 vs. 2747.83 ± 406.44 µm2, p < 0.05). We found that both MCC950 (10 mg kg-1) treatment and exercise improved the atrophic parameters that had deteriorated in the db/db mice, inhibited serum inflammatory markers and significantly attenuated pyroptosis in atrophic GAS. In addition, a combined MCC950 treatment with exercise (DEI) exhibited a further improvement in glucose uptake capacity and muscle performance. This combined treatment also improved the FCSA of GAS muscle indicated by Laminin immunofluorescence compared to the group with the inhibitor treatment alone (DI) (DEI vs. DI: 2597 ± 310.97 vs. 1974.67 ± 326.15 µm2, p < 0.05) or exercise only (DE) (DEI vs. DE: 2597 ± 310.97 vs. 2006.33 ± 263.468 µm2, p < 0.05). Intriguingly, the combination of MCC950 treatment and exercise significantly reduced NLRP3-mediated inflammatory factors such as cleaved-Caspase-1, GSDMD-N and prevented apoptosis and pyroptosis in atrophic GAS. These findings for the first time demonstrate that targeting NLRP3-mediated pyroptosis with MCC950 improves diabetic muscle homeostasis and muscle function. We also report that inhibiting pyroptosis by MCC950 can enhance the beneficial effects of aerobic exercise on diabetic muscle atrophy. Since T2DM and muscle atrophy are age-related diseases, the young mice used in the current study do not seem to fully reflect the characteristics of diabetic muscle atrophy. Considering the fragile nature of db/db mice and for the complete implementation of the exercise intervention, we used relatively young db/db mice and the atrophic state in the mice was thoroughly confirmed. Taken together, the current study comprehensively investigated the therapeutic effect of NLRP3-mediated pyroptosis inhibited by MCC950 on diabetic muscle mass, strength and exercise performance, as well as the synergistic effects of MCC950 and exercise intervention, therefore providing a novel strategy for the treatment of the disease.

Abstract
The unbalanced hemoglobin level in biological fluids can cause several diseases; hence it can be used as a biomarker for diagnosis. We aim, in the present study, to construct a label-free electrochemical aptasensor for the quantification of hemoglobin. For that, a conjugate of L-cysteine and gold nanoparticles was used for the aptamer immobilization on screen printed carbon electrodes. Using square wave voltammetry, the calibration plot was obtained and it was linear in the range of 50 ng ml-1 to 36 000 ng ml-1 while the detection limit was 1.2 ng ml-1. After the binding of Hb on the modified screen-printed carbon electrode surface, the peroxidase-like activity of the bound hemoglobin was explored in the quantification of different substrates. Hydrogen peroxide and nitrite were chosen as model analytes. Amperometric measurements showed wide linear ranges: 0.2 μM-7.7 mM and 3.6 nM-1.3 mM for H2O2 and nitrite, respectively, with detection limits of 0.044 μM and 0.55 nM. In the proposed strategy, the aptamer provides excellent orientation and a biocompatible environment for hemoglobin whose catalytic activity plays a key role in H2O2 and nitrite analysis.

Abstract
Monitoring the level of glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) has become the gold standard measure for diabetes mellitus (DM) diagnosis and control, used in conjunction with fasting blood glucose (FBG) and oral glucose tolerance test. This study aimed to investigate the applicability of a newly developed nanoparticle-based electrochemical sensor-multiwalled nanotubes incorporated with gold nanoparticles (POCT-HbA1cMWCNTs/AuNPs)-used as a routine point-of-care test (POCT) for detection of HbA1c for the diagnosis of DM. Finger-prick and venous blood samples were collected from 108 DM and 98 non-DM subjects to determine HbA1c and total hemoglobin by POCT-HbA1cMWCNTs/AuNPs compared with the standard HPLC method. The performance of the POCT-HbA1cMWCNTs/AuNPs was evaluated using the standard cut-off HbA1c level of >6.5%. The test's sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, and negative predictive value were 100.00%, 90.32%, 87.23%, and 100.00%, respectively. The probability of DM diagnosis in a subject with HbA1c >6.5% (positive predictive value) was 87.23% (82/94). The accuracy of the POCT-HbA1cMWCNTs/AuNPs was 94.18%, with a %DMV (deviation from the mean value) of 0.25%. The results indicate satisfactory assay performance and applicability of the POCT-HbA1cMWCNTs/AuNPs for diagnosis of DM using the cut-off criteria of HbA1c >6.5.

Abstract
Biosensor substrate materials are a key research focus in the field of sensors. Blu-ray discs (BDs) as universal sensor substrates are advantageous in comparison with other substrates (conventional paper and polycarbonate) in terms of easier activity treatment and higher density of reactive groups on the film surface. In this study, a novel and simple microfluidic biosensor based on BD coating film was developed by treating with sodium hydroxide solution and a piece of filter paper at slightly elevated temperatures. There are no significant physical damages to the substrate morphology, and the aging effect is minimal. The unique wetting, optical, and self-cleaning properties of the modified surfaces can be demonstrated in the paper. We have tested this new type of biosensor substrates for assay applications (the determination of total amino acids in tea leaves), which showed excellent performance in terms of sensitivity and reproducibility. The novel biosensor substrate material based on a simple BD coating film displayed preferable merits with easy making, low cost, easy using, and extensive application prospect.

Abstract
Glycated haemoglobin (HbA1c) is a diagnostic biomarker for type 2 diabetes. Traditional analytical methods for haemoglobin (Hb) detection rely on chromatography, which requires significant instrumentation and is labour-intensive; consequently, miniaturized devices that can rapidly sense HbA1c are urgently required. With this research, we report on an aptamer-based sensor (aptasensor) for the rapid and selective electrochemical detection of HbA1c. Aptamers that specifically bind HbA1c and Hb were modified with a sulfhydryl and ferrocene group at the 3' and 5'-end, respectively. The modified aptamers were coated through sulfhydryl-gold self-assembly onto screen printed electrodes, producing aptasensors with built in electroactivity. When haemoglobin was added to the electrodes, the current intensity of the ferrocene in the sensor system was reduced in a concentration-dependent manner as determined by differential pulse voltammetry. In addition, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy confirmed selective binding of the analytes to the aptamer-coated electrode. This research offers new insight into the development of portable electrochemical sensors for the detection of HbA1c.

Abstract
Immobilization of protein at high efficiency is a challenge for fabricating polymer-based protein chips. Here, a simple but effective approach was developed to fabricate a cyclic olefin copolymer (COC)-based protein microarray with a high immobilization density. In this strategy, poly(maleic anhydride-co-vinyl acetate) (poly(MAH-co-VAc)) brushes were facilely attached on the COC surface via UV-induced graft copolymerization. The introduction of poly(MAH-co-VAc) brushes resulted in an obvious increase in the surface roughness of COC. The functionalized COC showed little reduction in transparency compared with pristine COC, indicating that the photografting treatment did not alter its optical property. The graft density of the anhydride groups on the modified COC could be tuned from 0.46 to 3.2 μmol/cm2. The immobilization efficiency of immunoglobulin G (IgG) on functionalized COC reached 88% due to the high reactivity between anhydride groups and amine groups of IgGs. An immunoassay experiment demonstrated that the microarray showed high sensitivity to the target analyte.

Abstract
Blu-ray discs (BDs) are advantageous in comparison with other optical discs (compact discs and digital versatile discs) in terms of not only their storage capacity but also the high-quality materials fabricated from. We have recently discovered that the "Hard Coat" film of Verbatim BDs is in fact a unique type of polymeric substrates that can be readily activated and adapted for biochip fabrications. Particularly, the Hard Coat film peeled from BDs is optically transparent without any fluorescence background, which can be activated by treating with a common base (1.0 M NaOH) at a slightly elevated temperature (55 °C). The surface density of reactive carboxylic acid groups generated, 6.6 ± 0.7 × 10-9 mol/cm2, is much higher than that on polycarbonate upon UV/ozone irradiation (4.8 ± 0.2 × 10-10 mol/cm2). There are no significant physical damages to the substrate morphology, and the aging effect is minimal. More importantly, the BD substrate can be patterned using either cut-out filter paper masks or microfluidic channel plates; both are lithography-free, bench-top methods that facilitate the device fabrication in a common laboratory setting. With classical biotin-streptavidin binding and DNA hybridization arrays as trial systems, we have also demonstrated this new type of biochip substrates for quantitative assay applications.

Abstract
A disposable blood sampler, which is consisted of a sub-microliter whole blood collector and a graphene filter, loading graphene sheet to selectively capture hemoglobin from sub-microliter whole blood, was developed for both qualitative and quantitative characterization hemoglobin by internal extractive electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (iEESI-MS). The blood collector was elegantly fabricated in syringe-like fashion for precisely sampling tiny amounts (1.0 μL - 2%) of whole blood, which was immediately diluted by water inside the syringe and was then pressed through the graphene filter placed between the waste outlet and the syringe reservoir to capture the hemoglobin in the blood sample. Then the graphene with hemoglobin was directly eluted by a charged (+2.5 kV) solution (mathanol/water/formic acid, 48/48/4, v/v/v) to produce the hemoglobin ions for mass spectrometric analysis. Low detection-of-limit (19.3 mg L-1 (89.5 picomol)), acceptable linear response range (300-1500 mg L-1, R2 = 0.998), relative standard deviation (0.5-6.5%, n = 3), low sample consumption (≤1.0 μL) and a relatively high speed (≤4 min per sample, including the sample loading) were achieved, demonstrating that the graphene based iEESI-MS was an alternative choice for direct detection of hemoglobin in whole blood with minimal sample consumption.

Abstract
Hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) is a standard biomarker to measure long-term average glucose concentration for diagnosis and monitoring of diabetes. Various methods have been reported for measuring HbA1c, however, portable and precise determination is still challenging. Herein, a new highly sensitive electrochemical nanobiosensor is developed for the specific determination of HbA1c. A nanocomposite of reduced graphene oxide (rGO) and gold with hierarchical architecture structure was electrochemically deposited on a cheap and flexible graphite sheet (GS) electrode. The nanocomposite increased the surface area, improved the electron transfer on the electrode surface and augmented the signal. It also provided a suitable substrate for linkage of thiolated DNA aptamer as a bioreceptor on the electrode surface by strong covalent bonding. The quantitative label free detection was carried out by differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) in a phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) solution containing redox probe Fe(CN)63-/4-. The detection is based on insulating the surface in presence of HbA1c and decreasing the current, which is directly related to the HbA1c concentration. The nanobiosensor demonstrated high sensitivity of 269.2 μA. cm-2, wide linear range of 1 nM-13.83 μM with a low detection limit of 1 nM. The biosensor was successfully used for measuring HbA1c in blood real sample. Furthermore, it is promising to use it as a part of a point of care device for low-invasive screening and management of diabetes.

Abstract
A novel ternary-emission fluorescence sensor was proposed by post-imprinting mixing blue-/green-/red-emission bovine hemoglobin (BHb) imprinted polymers (b-MIPs, g-MIPs, and r-MIPs) at a proper ratio and realized the multiplexed and visual detection of BHb. The three MIPs were individually embedded with blue-emission 7-hydroxycoumarin, green-emission CdTe quantum dots (QDs), and red-emission CdTe/ZnS QDs. Upon interaction with BHb within 8 min, the fluorescence of CdTe and CdTe/ZnS QDs were simultaneously turned off, whereas the 7-hydroxycoumarin turned on the fluorescence intensity. Thereupon, the ratiometric fluorescence intensity of the ternary emission linearly varied within 0.025-3 μM BHb, accompanying the profuse fluorescence color evolution from yellowish green to yellow to salmon to plum to purple to finally blue. In comparison with the dual- or single-emission sensor, the ternary-emission fluorescence MIPs sensor provided a wider color variation covering the green-red-blue window for accurate naked-eye determination of BHb, as well as a lower detection limit down to 7.8 nM and a higher imprinting factor of 15.2. Moreover, the satisfactory recoveries of 99.25-111.7% in determining the spiked BHb in bovine urine samples, as well as the optical stability and post-imprinting construction convenience, indicated that the developed tricolor-emission fluorescence MIPs sensor provided an ideal alternative for rapid, sensitive, and visual determination of proteins in complicated samples.

A comparison of the performance of voltammetric aptasensors for glycated haemoglobin on different carbon nanomaterials-modified screen printed electrodes. MATERIALS SCIENCE & ENGINEERING. C, MATERIALS FOR BIOLOGICAL APPLICATIONS 2019; 101:423-430. [PMID: 31029337 DOI: 10.1016/j.msec.2019.04.001] [Citation(s) in RCA: 20] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/24/2018] [Revised: 03/24/2019] [Accepted: 04/01/2019] [Indexed: 01/08/2023]
Abstract
The integration of carbon nanomaterials into electrochemical aptasensors has gained significant interest in the recent years because of their high electrical conductivity, mechanical strength, and large surface area. However, no comparative study has been reported so far between different carbon nanomaterials for aptasensing applications. Here, we report, a comparative investigation of six carbon electrode materials (carbon, graphene (G), graphene oxide (GO), multi-wall carbon nanotube (MWCNT), single walled carbon nanotube (SWCNT) and carbon nanofiber (CNF)) on the performance of glycated haemoglobin (HbA1c) aptasensor prepared by physical adsorption. The aptamers were non-covalently immobilized on the six nanomaterial electrodes via π-π stacking interactions between the DNA nucleobases and the surface of the carbon material which creates a barrier to the electron transfer. However, upon binding of the target protein to the aptamer, the aptamer dissociates from the surface leading to enhancement of the electron transfer which represent the basis of the detection. The aptamer adsorption, sensors responses and selectivity of the different nanomaterials were compared showing better performance of the SWCNT-based sensor. The voltammetric SWCNT aptasensors showed high sensitivity and selectivity with detection limits of 0.13 pg/mL and 0.03 pg/mL for total haemoglobin (tHb) and HbA1c, respectively. The aptasensor showed selectivity against other proteins in the blood including cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR), survival motor neuron (SMN), dedicator of cytokinesis 8 (DOCK8), signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3). This SWCNT aptasensor was superior to the reported detection assays for HbA1c in terms of sensitivity, selectivity and cost. Moreover, our results demonstrate that the choice of the carbon nanomaterial can have a profound impact on the biosensing performance.

Abstract
Glycated hemoglobin, HbA1c, is an important biomarker that reveals the average value of blood glucose over the preceding 3 months. While significant recent attention has been focused on the use of optical and direct molecular spectroscopic methods for determination of HbA1c, a facile test that minimizes sample preparation needs and turnaround time still remains elusive. Here, we report a label-free approach for identifying low, mid and high-HbA1c groups in hemolysate and in whole blood samples featuring resonance Raman (RR) spectroscopy and support vector machine (SVM)-based classification of spectral patterns. The diagnostic power of RR measurements stems from its selective enhancement of hemoglobin-specific features, which simultaneously minimizes the blood matrix spectral interference and permits detection in the native solution. In this pilot study, our spectroscopic observations reveal that glycation of hemoglobin results in subtle but reproducible changes even when detected in the whole blood matrix. Leveraging SVM analysis of the principal component scores determined from the RR spectra, we show high degree of accuracy in classifying clinical specimen. We envisage that the promising findings will pave the way for more extensive clinical specimen investigations with the ultimate goal of translating molecular spectroscopy for routine point-of-care testing.

Truncated aptamers for total and glycated hemoglobin, and their integration into a graphene oxide-based fluorometric method for high-throughput screening for diabetes. Mikrochim Acta 2018; 185:256. [PMID: 29675559 DOI: 10.1007/s00604-018-2789-3] [Citation(s) in RCA: 20] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/31/2018] [Accepted: 04/03/2018] [Indexed: 10/17/2022]
Abstract
The authors describe the identification of an effective binding region of aptamers against glycated (HbA1c) and total haemoglobin (tHb) by using a fluorometric assay. Truncation of the originally selected aptamers from 60 to 46 and 34 nucleotides for HbA1c and tHb, respectively, enhances the affinity for their targets. Moreover, shortening the aptamer sequences leads to a better conformational change after target binding which enabled the integration of the aptamers in a graphene oxide (GO)-based fluorometric assay. First, fluorescein-labelled truncated aptamers were physically absorbed onto the surface of GO surface via π-stacking interaction. This leads to quenching of fluorescence. Once the truncated aptamers bind the target protein, a conformational change is induced which results (a) )in the release of the aptamers from the surface of GO and (b) in the restoration of green fluorescence that is measured at 515 nm. The assay can be carried out in a microtiter plate format in homogeneous solution, this avoiding the steps of immobilization, incubation, and washing that are often necessary in immunoassays. This also reduces the time and the costs of the overall assay and allows for high throughput screening for diabetes. HbA1c can be detected in the range from 5.4 to 10.6%. The assay is selective for HbA1c over other proteins that commonly exist in blood. The results obtained by using this method compare well with those of a turbidimetric immunoassay that is typically applied in clinical laboratories. Graphical abstract Truncated aptamers for total and glycated hemoglobin were selected and integrated into a graphene oxide-based fluorescence detection assay for high-throughput screening for diabetes.

Abstract
The authors describe a magnetized carbon nanotube (MCNT)-based lateral flow strip biosensor for visual detection of proteins directly in whole blood avoiding complex purification and sample pre-treatments. MCNT were synthesized by coating Fe3O4 nanoparticles on the shortened multiwalled carbon nanotube (CNT) surface via co-precipitation of ferric and ferrous ions within a dispersion of shorten multiwalled CNTs. The antibody-modified MCNTs were used to capture target protein in whole blood; the formed MCNT-antibody-target protein complexes were applied to the lateral flow strip biosensor, in which a capture antibody was immobilized on the test zone of the biosensor. The captured MCNTs on the test zone and control zone were producing characteristic brown/black bands, and this enabled target protein to be visually detected. Quantification was accomplished by reading the intensities of the bands with a portable strip reader. Rabbit IgG was used as a model target to demonstrate the proof-of-concept. After systematic optimizations of assay parameters, the detection limit of the assay in whole blood was determined to be 10 ng mL-1 (S/N = 3) with a linear dynamic range of 10-200 ng mL-1. This study provides a rapid and low-cost approach for detecting proteins in blood, showing great promise for clinical application and biomedical diagnosis, particularly in limited resource settings.

Abstract
The increase of the level of glucose in blood leads to an increase in the fraction of glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c). Therefore, the percentage of HbA1c in the blood can serve as a marker for the average glucose level over the past three months and thus, it can be used to diagnose diabetes. Here, we report the selection, identification and characterization of specific DNA aptamers against HbA1c- and total hemoglobin (tHb) and their integration into an electrochemical array sensing platform. High affinity and specificity aptamers were selected in vitro showing dissociation constants of 2.8 and 2.7 nM for HbA1c and tHb, respectively. Thiol-modified forms of the aptamers were then immobilised on gold nanoparticles (AuNPs)-modified array electrodes and used for the label-free detection of HbA1c and tHb using square wave voltammetry. The voltammetric aptasensors showed high sensitivity with detection limits of 0.2 and 0.34 ng/ml for HbA1c and tHb, respectively. This array platform is superior to the currently available immunoassays in terms of simplicity, stability, ease of use, reduction of sample volume and low cost. Moreover, this method enabled the detection of HbA1c % in human whole blood without any pre-treatment, suggesting great promise of this platform for the diagnosis of diabetes.

Abstract
A disposable microfluidic amperometric dual-sensor was developed for the detection of glycated hemoglobin (HbA1C) and total hemoglobin (Hb), separately, in a finger prick blood sample. The accurate level of total Hb was determined through the measurements of the cathodic currents of total Hb catalyzed by a toluidine blue O (TBO)-modified working electrode. Subsequently, after washing unbound Hb in the fluidic channel of dual sensor with PBS, the cathodic current by only HbA1C captured on aptamer was monitored using another aptamer/TBO-modified working electrode in the channel. To modify the sensor probe, poly(2,2´:5´,5″-terthiophene-3´-p-benzoic acid) and a multi-wall carbon nanotube (MWCNT) composite layer (pTBA@MWCNT) was electropolymerized on a screen printed carbon electrode (SPCE), followed by immobilization of TBO for the total Hb probe and aptamer/TBO for the HbA1C probe, respectively. The characterization of each sensor surface was performed using cyclic voltammetry (CV), electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), quartz crystal microbalance (QCM), field-emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM), and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The experimental conditions affecting the analytical signal were optimized in terms of the amount of TBO, pH, temperature, binding time, applied potential, and the content ratio of monomer and MWCNT. The dynamic ranges of Hb and HbA1C were from 0.1 to 10µM and from 0.006 to 0.74µM, with detection limits of 82(±4.2)nM and 3.7(±0.8)nM, respectively. The reliability of the proposed microfluidic dual-sensor for a finger prick blood sample (1µL) was evaluated in parallel with a conventional method (HPLC) for point-of-care analysis.

We propose a novel alternative approach to long-term glycaemic monitoring using eggshell membranes (ESMs) as a new immobilising platform for the selective label-free electrochemical sensing of glycated haemoglobin (HbA1c), a vital clinical index of the glycaemic status in diabetic individuals. Due to the unique features of a novel 3-aminophenylboronic acid-modified ESM, selective binding was obtained via cis-diol interactions. This newly developed device provides clinical applicability as an affinity membrane-based biosensor for the identification of HbA1c over a clinically relevant range (2.3 - 14 %) with a detection limit of 0.19%. The proposed membrane-based biosensor also exhibited good reproducibility. When analysing normal and abnormal HbA1c levels, the within-run coefficients of variation were 1.68 and 1.83%, respectively. The run-to-run coefficients of variation were 1.97 and 2.02%, respectively. These results demonstrated that this method achieved the precise and selective measurement of HbA1c. Compared with a commercial HbA1c kit, the results demonstrated excellent agreement between the techniques (n = 15), demonstrating the clinical applicability of this sensor for monitoring glycaemic control. Thus, this low-cost sensing platform using the proposed membrane-based biosensor is ideal for point-of-care diagnostics.

Abstract
Acridinium dimethylphenyl esters are highly sensitive chemiluminescent labels that are used in clinical diagnostics. Light emission from these labels is triggered with alkaline peroxide in the presence of the cationic surfactant cetyltrimethylammonium chloride (CTAC). CTAC compresses emission times of these labels to <5 seconds and also increases overall light yield 3-4 fold. The observed enhancement in acridinium ester chemiluminescence (light yield) is quite sensitive to the polarity of the micellar interface. In the current study, we report the synthesis of new acridinium ester labels with fluorous tags of varying fluorine content and their chemiluminescence in the presence of cationic micelles of CTAC, anionic micelles of sodium perfluorooctanoate (SPFO) as well as mixed micelles of CTAC and SPFO. These studies indicate that in the presence of the mixed micelle system of CTAC and SPFO and at low mole fractions of SPFO, polarity of the mixed micelle interface is lower than that of CTAC leading to a greater enhancement of chemiluminescence for both fluorinated acridinium esters as well as a structurally analogous but non-fluorinated acridinium ester. Chemiluminescence stability of the fluorinated acridinium esters was either comparable to or better than the stability of the non-fluorinated acridinium ester. Non-specific binding to paramagnetic microparticles was higher for fluorinated acridinium esters requiring a surfactant wash to reduce their non-specific binding to the same extent as that observed for the non-fluorinated acridinium ester.

Abstract
A highly sensitive, rapid immunoassay performed in the multi-channels of a micro-well array consisting of a multicapillary glass plate (MCP) and a polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) slide is described. The micro-dimensions and large surface area of the MCP permitted the diffusion distance to be decreased and the reaction efficiency to be increased. To confirm the concept of the method, human immunoglobulin A (h-IgA) was measured using both the proposed immunoassay system and the traditional 96-well plate method. The proposed method resulted in a 1/5-fold decrease of immunoassay time, and a 1/56-fold cut in reagent consumption with a 0.05 ng/mL of limit of detection (LOD) for IgA. The method was also applied to saliva samples obtained from healthy volunteers. The results correlated well to those obtained by the 96-well plate method. The method has the potential for use in disease diagnostic or on-site immunoassays.
