Abstract
Elevating soluble CD80 (sCD80) in human serum is a natural response to autoimmune diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis (RA). The level of sCD80 is associated with RA development and prognosis; therefore, it is potentially used as a biomarker. sCD80 is commonly measured in human serum using immunoassays (e.g., ELISA) with multiple drawbacks, mainly cross-reactivity. Aptamer-based biosensors (aptasensors) development for quantifying and detecting different biological molecules demonstrates applicability in next-generation medicine and biomarker detection. Herein, we selected a specific aptamer for sCD80 by conventional in-vitro selection process (SELEX) with the high-affinity aptamer (Kd = 47.69 nM). A sensitive aptasensor, for the first time, was developed on a screen-printed gold electrode (AuSPE) platform compatible with easy-to-use label-free electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. The immobilization of the aptamer on the gold surface and the presence of sCD80 in a complex with the aptamer were characterized by photo-induced force microscopy, which revealed the uniform assembly of the aptamer monolayer and the distribution of sCD80 on the electrode surface. The developed aptasensor showed a linear performance (0.025-10.0 nM of protein) with a detection limit of 8.0 pM. Furthermore, the aptasensor was tested in a biological matrix, where a linear signal was observed for the increased amount of spiked sCD80 (R2 = 0.9887). The recovery of the spiked amounts ranged from 105 to 125% with coefficient of variation (CV%) <7%, which supported the applicability of this sensor in detecting sCD80 for diagnosis.

Aptamer-based electrochemical biosensor for rapid detection of SARS-CoV-2: Nanoscale electrode-aptamer-SARS-CoV-2 imaging by photo-induced force microscopy. Biosens Bioelectron 2022; 195:113595.

Abstract
Rapid, mass diagnosis of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is critical to stop the ongoing infection spread. The two standard screening methods to confirm the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) are polymerase chain reaction (PCR), through the RNA of the virus, and serology by detecting antibodies produced as a response to the viral infection. However, given the detection complexity, cost and relatively long analysis times of these techniques, novel technologies are urgently needed. Here, we report an aptamer-based biosensor developed on a screen-printed carbon electrode platform for rapid, sensitive, and user-friendly detection of SARS-CoV-2. The aptasensor relies on an aptamer targeting the receptor-binding domain (RBD) in the spike protein (S-protein) of the SARS-CoV-2. The aptamer immobilization on gold nanoparticles, and the presence of S-protein in the aptamer-target complex, investigated for the first time by photo-induced force microscopy mapping between 770 and 1910 cm−1 of the electromagnetic spectrum, revealed abundant S-protein homogeneously distributed on the sensing probe. The detection of SARS-CoV-2 S-protein was achieved by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy after 40 min incubation with several analyte concentrations, yielding a limit of detection of 1.30 pM (66 pg/mL). Moreover, the aptasensor was successfully applied for the detection of a SARS-CoV-2 pseudovirus, thus suggesting it is a promising tool for the diagnosis of COVID-19.

Abstract
Printed circuit boards (PCBs) offer a promising platform for the development of electronics-assisted biomedical diagnostic sensors and microsystems. The long-standing industrial basis offers distinctive advantages for cost-effective, reproducible, and easily integrated sample-in-answer-out diagnostic microsystems. Nonetheless, the commercial techniques used in the fabrication of PCBs produce various contaminants potentially degrading severely their stability and repeatability in electrochemical sensing applications. Herein, we analyse for the first time such critical technological considerations, allowing the exploitation of commercial PCB platforms as reliable electrochemical sensing platforms. The presented electrochemical and physical characterisation data reveal clear evidence of both organic and inorganic sensing electrode surface contaminants, which can be removed using various pre-cleaning techniques. We demonstrate that, following such pre-treatment rules, PCB-based electrodes can be reliably fabricated for sensitive electrochemical biosensors. Herein, we demonstrate the applicability of the methodology both for labelled protein (procalcitonin) and label-free nucleic acid (E. coli-specific DNA) biomarker quantification, with observed limits of detection (LoD) of 2 pM and 110 pM, respectively. The proposed optimisation of surface pre-treatment is critical in the development of robust and sensitive PCB-based electrochemical sensors for both clinical and environmental diagnostics and monitoring applications.

Abstract
The proliferation process's efficiency is related to the number of cells grown in culture and the maximum efficiency obtained at the stationary phase. Since the culture's growth speed is different for various cells and even for subgroups of the same cells, it is essential to monitor the process properly to obtain maximum efficiency. In this work, ultrasonic velocity measurement was performed noninvasively for wireless real-time monitoring of the suspension cell culture using a single integrated device to get maximum efficiency from the process by determining the phases. Using the advantage of the developed device's portability and wireless connectivity, the cells are monitored in the incubator without interfering with the actual process. Therefore, a real-time highly sampled growth curve is obtained, which was not possible to obtain with the currently used methods or the offline methods that are based on taking samples from the culture invasively. Filtering and curve fitting methods are also applied to the data to obtain a clean growth curve. The method developed as a result of this study ensures that the suspension cell culture was monitored most conveniently in the actual growth medium in real-time and noninvasively.

Abstract
In this study, we have aimed at developing a novel electrochemical sensing approach capable of detecting dopamine, the main biomarker in Parkinson's disease, within the highly complex cell culture matrix of human midbrain organoids in a non-invasive and label-free manner. With its ability to generate organotypic structures in vitro, induced pluripotent stem cell technology has provided the basis for the development of advanced patient-derived disease models. These include models of the human midbrain, the affected region in the neurodegenerative disorder Parkinson's disease. Up to now, however, the analysis of so-called human midbrain organoids has relied on time-consuming and invasive strategies, incapable of monitoring organoid development. Using a redox-cycling approach in combination with a 3-mercaptopropionic acid self-assembled monolayer modification enabled the increase of sensor selectivity and sensitivity towards dopamine, while simultaneously reducing matrix-mediated interferences. In this work, we demonstrate the ability to detect and monitor even small differences in dopamine release between healthy and Parkinson`s disease-specific midbrain organoids over prolonged cultivation periods, which was additionally verified using liquid chromatography-multiple reaction monitoring mass spectrometry. Furthermore, the detection of a phenotypic rescue in midbrain organoids carrying a pathogenic mutation in leucine-rich repeat kinase 2, upon treatment with the leucine-rich repeat kinase 2 inhibitor II underlines the practical implementability of our sensing approach for drug screening applications as well as personalized disease modelling.

Abstract
Vesicles constructed of either synthetic polymers alone (polymersomes) or a combination of polymers and lipids (lipo-polymersomes) demonstrate excellent long-term stability and ability to integrate membrane proteins. Applications using lipo-polymersomes with integrated membrane proteins require suitable supports to maintain protein functionality. Using lipo-polymersomes loaded with the light-driven proton pump bacteriorhodopsin (BR), we demonstrate here how the photocurrent is influenced by a chosen support. In our study, we deposited BR-loaded lipo-polymersomes in a cross-linked polyelectrolyte multilayer assembly either directly physisorbed on gold electrode microchips or cross-linked on an intermediary polyethersulfone (PES) membrane covalently grafted using a hydrogel cushion. In both cases, electrochemical impedance spectroscopic characterization demonstrated successful polyelectrolyte assembly with BR-loaded lipo-polymersomes. Light-induced proton pumping by BR-loaded lipo-polymersomes in the different support constructs was characterized by amperometric recording of the generated photocurrent. Application of the hydrogel/PES membrane support together with the polyelectrolyte assembly decreased the transient current response upon light activation of BR, while enhancing the generated stationary current to over 700 nA/cm2. On the other hand, the current response from BR-loaded lipo-polymersomes in a polyelectrolyte assembly without the hydrogel/PES membrane support was primarily a transient peak combined with a low-nanoampere-level stationary photocurrent. Hence, the obtained results demonstrated that by using a hydrogel/PES support it was feasible to monitor continuously light-induced proton flux in biomimetic applications of lipo-polymersomes.

Abstract
A sensitive and disposable amperometric immunosensor for Saccharomyces cerevisiae was constructed by using carbon screen-printed electrodes modified with propionic acid-functionalized graphene oxide as transduction element. The affinity-based biosensing interface was assembled by covalent immobilization of a specific polyclonal antibody on the carboxylate-enriched electrode surface via a water-soluble carbodiimide/N-hydroxysuccinimide coupling approach. A concanavalin A-peroxidase conjugate was further used as signaling element. The immunosensor allowed the amperometric detection of the yeast in buffer solution and white wine samples in the range of 10-107 CFU/mL. This electroanalytical device also exhibited low detection limit and high selectivity, reproducibility, and storage stability. The immunosensor was successfully validated in spiked white wine samples.

Abstract
Gold electrodes are often not suitable for dopamine measurements as dopamine creates a non-conducting polymer layer on the surface of the electrodes, which leads to increased amount of electrode passivity with the gradual increase in voltammograms measurement. This work presents the impedance spectroscopy and cyclic-voltammetry comparative study for dopamine detection with two modifications for the surface of Au electrodes; cysteamine and mercaptopropionic acid for thermally bonded and ultrasonically welded microfluidic chips, respectively. The effects of optimized tubing selection, bonding techniques, and cleaning methods of the devices with KOH solution played crucial role for improvements in dopamine detection, which are observed in the results. Furthermore, comparison for the modification with unmodified chips, and finding the unknown concentration of dopamine solution using flow injection techniques, is also illustrated.

Abstract
Despite the increasing popularity of microfabricated biosensors due to advances in technologic and surface functionalization strategies, their successful implementation is partially inhibited by the lack of consistency in their analytical characteristics. One of the main causes for the discrepancies is the absence of a systematic and comprehensive approach to surface functionalization. In this article microfabricated gold electrodes aimed at biosensor development have been systematically characterized in terms of surface pretreatment, thiolated molecule binding, and reproducibility by means of X-ray photoelectron scattering (XPS) and cyclic voltammetry (CV). It has been shown that after SU-8 photolithography gold surfaces were markedly contaminated, which decreased the effective surface area and surface coverage of a model molecule mercaptohexanol (MCH). Three surface pretreatment methods compatible with microfabricated devices were compared. The investigated methods were (i) cyclic voltammetry in dilute H2SO4, (ii) gentle basic piranha followed by linear sweep voltammetry in dilute KOH, and (iii) oxygen plasma treatment followed by incubation in ethanol. It was shown that all three methods significantly decreased the contamination and increased MCH surface coverage. Most importantly, it was also revealed that surface pretreatments may induce structural changes to the gold surfaces. Accordingly, these alterations influence the characteristics of MCH functionalization.

Abstract
In the past decades, numerous measurements have applied electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) in an electrode-electrolyte system consisting of gold electrodes and the redox couple potassium ferrocyanide/potassium ferricyanide (HCF). Yet these measurements are often hampered by false positive and negative results. Electrochemical impedance signals often display a nonlinear drift in electrolyte systems containing the HCF redox couple, which can mask the accuracy of the analysis. Thus, this Article aims to elucidate the stability and reliability of this particular electrode-electrolyte system. Here, different gold electrode cleaning treatments were compared with respect to adsorption and roughness of the surface of gold electrodes. They show substantial nonlinear long-term drifts of the charge-transfer resistance RD. In particular, the use of HCF-containing electrolytes causes adsorption and corrosion on the gold electrode surface, resulting in a nonlinear impedance behavior that depends on the incubation period as well as on electrolyte composition. Consequently, it is strongly recommended not to use HCF containing electrolytes in combination with gold electrodes.

Abstract
Black lipid membranes (BLMs) are significant in studies of membrane transport, incorporated proteins/ion transporters, and hence in construction of biosensor devices. Although BLMs provide an accepted mimic of cellular membranes, they are inherently fragile. Techniques are developed to stabilize them, such as hydrogel supports. In this paper, we present a reusable device for studies on hydrogel supported (hs) BLMs. These are formed across an ethylene tetrafluoroethylene (ETFE) aperture array supported by the hydrogel, which is during in situ polymerization covalently "sandwiched" between the ETFE substrate and a gold electrode microchip, thus allowing direct electrochemical studies with the integrated working electrodes. Using electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and contact angle measurements, we demonstrate the optimized chemical modifications of the gold electrode microchips and plasma modification of the ETFE aperture arrays facilitating covalent "sandwiching" of the hydrogel. Both fluorescence microscopy and EIS were used to demonstrate the induced spontaneous thinning of a deposited lipid solution, leading to formation of stabilized hsBLMs on average in 10 min. The determined specific membrane capacitance and resistance were shown to vary in the range 0.31-0.49 μF/cm(2) and 45-65 kΩ cm(2), respectively, corresponding to partially solvent containing BLMs with an average life time of 60-80 min. The characterized hsBLM formation and devised equivalent circuit models lead to a schematic model to illustrate lipid molecule distribution in hydrogel-supported apertures. The functionality of stabilized hsBLMs and detection sensitivity of the platform were verified by monitoring the effect of the ion transporter valinomycin.

Abstract
Traditional cell assay gives us an average result of multiple cells and it is assumed that the resultant is the outcome of all cells in population. However, single cell studies have revealed that individual cells of same type may differ dramatically and these differences may have important role to play in cells functionality. Such information can be obscured in only studying cell population experimental approach. To uncover biological principles and ultimately to improve the detection and treatment of disease, new approaches are highly required to single cell analysis. We propose to fabricate a lab on chip device to study high throughput single cell nanotoxicity analysis. The chip incorporates independently addressable active microwell electrodes for cell manipulation and analysis. We employed positive-dielectrophoresis approach to quickly and efficiently capture single cells in each wells with having control over individual microwells. We examined change in impedance properties to verify cell capture in microwell and its health and present a novel model of single cell assay for nanotoxicity, and drug testing.

Abstract
Due to the ubiquity and essential of the proteins in all living organisms, the identification and quantification of disease-specific proteins are particularly important. Because the conformational change of aptamer upon its target or probe/target/probe sandwich often is the primary prerequisite for the design of an electrochemical aptameric assay system, it is extremely difficult to construct the electrochemical aptasensor for protein assay because the corresponding aptamers cannot often meet the requirement. To circumvent the obstacles mentioned, an electronic channel switching-based (ECS) aptasensor for ultrasensitive protein detection is developed. The essential achievement made is that an innovative sensing concept is proposed: the hairpin structure of aptamer is designed to pull electroactive species toward electrode surface and makes the surface-immobilized IgE serve as a barrier that separates enzyme from its substrate. It seemingly ensures that the ECS aptasensor exhibits most excellent assay features, such as, a detection limit of 4.44×10(-6)μg mL(-1) (22.7fM, 220zmol in 10-μL sample) (demonstrating a 5 orders of magnitude improvement in detection sensitivity compared with classical electronic aptasensors) and dynamic response range from 4.44×10(-6) to 4.44×10(-1)μg mL(-1). We believe that the described sensing concept here might open a new avenue for the detection of proteins and other biomacromolecules.

Abstract
Gelatin-stabilized gold nanoparticles (AuNPs-gelatin) with hydrophilic and biocompatible were prepared with a simple and "green" route by reducing in situ tetrachloroauric acid in gelatin. The nanoparticles showed the excellent colloidal stability. UV-vis spectra, transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and atomic force microscopy revealed the formation of well-dispersed AuNPs with different sizes. By combination of the biocompatibility of AuNPs and excellent conductivity of carboxylic single-walled carbon nanotubes (c-SWNTs), a novel nanocomposite was designed for the immobilization and cytosensing of HL-60 cells at electrodes. The immobilized cells showed sensitive voltammetric response, good activity, and increased electron-transfer resistance. It can be used as a highly sensitive impedance sensor for HL-60 cells ranging from 1 x 10(4) to 1 x 10(7) cell mL(-1) with a limit of detection of 5 x 10(3) cell mL(-1). Moreover, the nanocomposite could effectively facilitate the interaction of adriamycin (ADR) with HL-60 cells and remarkably enhance the permeation and drug uptake of anticancer agents in the cancer cells, which could readily lead to the induction of the cell death of leukemia cells.

Abstract
Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) measurement, performed in the presence of a redox agent, is a convenient method to measure molecular interactions of electrochemically inactive compounds taking place on the electrode surface. High sensitivity of the method, being highly advantageous, can be also associated with nonspecific impedance changes that could be easily mistaken for specific interactions. Therefore, it is necessary to be aware of all possible causes and perform parallel control experiments to rule them out. We present the results obtained during the early stages of aptamer-based sensor development, utilizing a model system of human alpha thrombin interacting with a thiolated DNA aptamer, immobilized on gold electrodes. EIS measurements took place in the presence of iron ferrocyanides. In addition to known method limitations, that is, inability to discriminate between specific and nonspecific binding (both causing impedance increase), we have found other factors leading to nonspecific impedance changes, such as: (i) initial electrode contamination; (ii) repetitive measurements; (iii) additional cyclic voltammetry (CV) or differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) measurements; and (iv) additional incubations in the buffer between measurements, which have never been discussed before. We suggest ways to overcome the method limitations.
