Abstract
Field effect transistors (FETs)-based detection probes are powerful platforms for quantification in biological media due to their sensitivity, ease of miniaturization, and ability to function in biological media. Especially, FET-based platforms have been utilized as promising probes for label-free detections with the potential for use in real-time monitoring. The integration of new materials in the FET-based probe enhances the analytical performance of the developed probes by increasing the active surface area, rejecting interfering agents, and providing the possibility for surface modification. Furthermore, the use of new materials eliminates the need for traditional labeling techniques, providing rapid and cost-effective detection of biological analytes. This review discusses the application of materials in the development of FET-based label-free systems for point-of-care (POC) analysis of different biomedical analytes from 2018 to 2024. The mechanism of action of the reported probes is discussed, as well as their pros and cons were also investigated. Also, the possible challenges and potential for the fabrication of commercial devices or methods for use in clinics were discussed.

Lee M, Kim SH, Kim D, Kim HJ. Rapid and Easy Detection of Microcystin-LR Using a Bioactivated Multi-Walled Carbon Nanotube-Based Field-Effect Transistor Sensor. BIOSENSORS 2024; 14:37. [PMID: 38248414 PMCID: PMC10813581 DOI: 10.3390/bios14010037] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/27/2023] [Revised: 01/08/2024] [Accepted: 01/10/2024] [Indexed: 01/23/2024]
Abstract
In this study, we developed a multi-walled carbon nanotube (MWCNT)-based field-effect transistor (MWCNT-FET) sensor with high sensitivity and selectivity for microcystin-LR (MC-LR). Carboxylated MWCNTs were activated with an MC-LR-targeting aptamer (MCTA). Subsequently the bioactivated MWCNTs were immobilized between interdigitated drain (D) and source (S) electrodes through self-assembly. The top-gated MWCNT-FET sensor was configured by dropping the sample solution onto the D and S electrodes and immersing a Ag/AgCl electrode in the sample solution as a gate (G) electrode. We believe that the FET sensor's conduction path arises from the interplay between the MCTAs, with the applied gate potential modulating this path. Using standard instruments and a personal computer, the sensor's response was detected in real-time within a 10 min time frame. This label-free FET sensor demonstrated an impressive detection capability for MC-LR in the concentration range of 0.1-0.5 ng/mL, exhibiting a lower detection limit of 0.11 ng/mL. Additionally, the MWCNT-FET sensor displayed consistent reproducibility, a robust selectivity for MC-LR over its congeners, and minimal matrix interferences. Given these attributes, this easily mass-producible FET sensor is a promising tool for rapid, straightforward, and sensitive MC-LR detection in freshwater environments.

Simultaneous detection of C-reactive protein and lipopolysaccharide based on a dual-channel electrochemical biosensor for rapid Gram-typing of bacterial sepsis. Biosens Bioelectron 2024; 243:115772. [PMID: 37879271 DOI: 10.1016/j.bios.2023.115772] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/08/2023] [Revised: 09/15/2023] [Accepted: 10/16/2023] [Indexed: 10/27/2023]
Abstract
Sepsis is a life-threatening multi-organ failure syndrome, with bacterial infections being the most common cause. Rapid Gram-typing is imperative to assist in antibiotic intervention. C-reactive protein (CRP) and lipopolysaccharide (LPS) are effective biomarkers for discerning the Gram type of bacteria but differ by several orders of magnitude in clinical detection, thereby impeding their simultaneous detection. And two independent methods are time-consuming and laborious. In this study, a dual-channel electrochemical biosensor was developed for simultaneous detection of LPS and CRP. Under optimal conditions, linear ranges of LPS (0.5-1000 pg/mL) and CRP (0.1-20 μg/mL) were obtained in line with the clinical evaluation scopes. In simulated sample tests, Gram-positive, Gram-negative, and healthy plasma samples were clearly distinguished by the developed biosensors, and these results were consistent with that of enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). In addition, the results of the plasma samples tested by the electrochemical biosensor matched those derived from blood cultures in the laboratory. Collectively, the electrochemical biosensor was expected to provide the scientific basis for the rapid Gram-typing and point-of-care detection of bacterial sepsis.

Bioelectrochemistry 2023; 153:108493. [PMID: 37392576 DOI: 10.1016/j.bioelechem.2023.108493] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/19/2023] [Revised: 06/18/2023] [Accepted: 06/19/2023] [Indexed: 07/03/2023]
Abstract
C-reactive protein (CRP) is produced by the liver in response to systemic inflammation caused by bacterial infection, trauma and internal organ failures. CRP serves as a potential biomarker in the precise diagnosis of cardiovascular risk, type-2 diabetes, metabolic syndrome, hypertension and various types of cancers. The pathogenic conditions indicated above are diagnosed by an elevated CRP level in the serum. In this study, we successfully fabricated a highly sensitive and selective carbon nanotube field-effect transistor (CNT-FET) immunosensor for the detection of CRP. The CNTs were deposited on the Si/SiO2 surface, between source-drain electrodes, afterwards modified with well-known linker PBASE and then anti-CRP was immobilized. This anti-CRP functionalized CNT-FET immunosensor exhibits a wide dynamic detection range (0.01-1000 μg/mL) CRP detection, rapid response time (2-3 min) and low variation (<3 %) which can be delivered as a low-cost and rapid clinical detection technology for the early diagnosis of coronary heart disease (CHD). For the clinical applications, our sensor was tested using CRP fortified serum samples and sensing performance was validated using enzyme-linked immune-sorbent assay (ELISA). This CNT-FET immunosensor will be helpful in taking over the complex laboratory-based expensive traditional CRP diagnostic procedures practiced in the hospitals.
