Microsphere lens array embedded microfluidic chip for SERS detection with simultaneous enhancement of sensitivity and stability. Biosens Bioelectron 2024; 261:116505. [PMID: 38885536 DOI: 10.1016/j.bios.2024.116505] [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: 02/08/2024] [Revised: 05/25/2024] [Accepted: 06/15/2024] [Indexed: 06/20/2024]
Abstract
Surface enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) utilizes the fingerprint features of molecular vibrations to identify and detect substances. However, in traditional single focus excitation scenarios, its signal collection efficiency of the objective is restricted. Furthermore, the uneven distribution of samples on the SERS substrate would result in poor signal stability, while the excitation power is limited to avoid sample damage. SERS detection system always requires precise adjustment of focal length and spot size, making it difficult for point-of-care testing applications. Here, we proposed a SERS microfluidic chip with barium titanate microspheres array (BTMA) embedded using vacuum self-assembled hot-pressing method for SERS detection with simultaneous enhancement of sensitivity and stability. Due to photonic nano-jets and directional antenna effects, high index microspheres are perfect micro-lens for effective light focusing and signal collecting. The BTMA can not only disperse excitation beam into an array of focal points covering the target uniformly with very low signal fluctuation, but enlarge the power threshold for higher signal intensity. We conducted a proof-of-principle experiment on chip for the detection of bacteria with immuno-magnetic tags and immuno-SERS tags. Together with magnetic and ultrasonic operations, the target bacteria in the flow were evenly congregated on the focal plane of BTMA. It demonstrated a limit of detection of 5 cells/mL, excellent signal reproducibility (error∼4.84%), and excellent position tolerance of 500 μm in X-Y plane (error∼5.375%). It can be seen that BTMA-SERS microfluidic chip can effectively solve the contradiction between sensitivity and stability in SERS detection.

Abstract
Advances in surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) detection have helped to overcome the limitations of traditional in vitro diagnostic methods, such as fluorescence and chemiluminescence, owing to its high sensitivity and multiplex detection capability. However, for the implementation of SERS detection technology in disease diagnosis, a SERS-based assay platform capable of analyzing clinical samples is essential. Moreover, infectious diseases like COVID-19 require the development of point-of-care (POC) diagnostic technologies that can rapidly and accurately determine infection status. As an effective assay platform, SERS-based bioassays utilize SERS nanotags labeled with protein or DNA receptors on Au or Ag nanoparticles, serving as highly sensitive optical probes. Additionally, a microdevice is necessary as an interface between the target biomolecules and SERS nanotags. This review aims to introduce various microdevices developed for SERS detection, available for POC diagnostics, including LFA strips, microfluidic chips, and microarray chips. Furthermore, the article presents research findings reported in the last 20 years for the SERS-based bioassay of various diseases, such as cancer, cardiovascular diseases, and infectious diseases. Finally, the prospects of SERS bioassays are discussed concerning the integration of SERS-based microdevices and portable Raman readers into POC systems, along with the utilization of artificial intelligence technology.

Abstract
The field of soft intelligent robots has rapidly developed, revealing extensive potential of these robots for real-world applications. By mimicking the dexterities of organisms, robots can handle delicate objects, access remote areas, and provide valuable feedback on their interactions with different environments. For autonomous manipulation of soft robots, which exhibit nonlinear behaviors and infinite degrees of freedom in transformation, innovative control systems integrating flexible and highly compliant sensors should be developed. Accordingly, sensor-actuator feedback systems are a key strategy for precisely controlling robotic motions. The introduction of material magnetism into soft robotics offers significant advantages in the remote manipulation of robotic operations, including touch or touchless detection of dynamically changing shapes and positions resulting from the actuations of robots. Notably, the anisotropies in the magnetic nanomaterials facilitate the perception and response with highly selective, directional, and efficient ways used for both sensors and actuators. Accordingly, this review provides a comprehensive understanding of the origins of magnetic anisotropy from both intrinsic and extrinsic factors and summarizes diverse magnetic materials with enhanced anisotropy. Recent developments in the design of flexible sensors and soft actuators based on the principle of magnetic anisotropy are outlined, specifically focusing on their applicabilities in soft robotic systems. Finally, this review addresses current challenges in the integration of sensors and actuators into soft robots and offers promising solutions that will enable the advancement of intelligent soft robots capable of efficiently executing complex tasks relevant to our daily lives.

Abstract
Glycan oxidation on the cell surface occurs in many specific life processes including pathogen-cell interactions. This work develops a surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) imaging strategy for in situ quantitative monitoring of protein-specific glycan oxidation mediated pathogen-cell interactions by utilizing Raman reporter DTNB and aptamer co-assembled platinum shelled gold nanoparticles (Au@Pt-DTNB/Apt). Using Fusarium graminearum (FG) and MCF-7 cells as models, Au@Pt-DTNB/Apt can specifically bind to MUC1 protein on the cell surface containing heavy galactose (Gal) and N-acetylgalactosamine (GalNAc) modification. When FG interacts with cells, the secreted galactose oxidase (GO) can oxidize Gal/GalNAc, and the generated reactive oxygen species (ROS) further oxidizes DTNB to produce TNB for greatly enhancing the SERS signal. This strategy can quantitatively visualize for the first time both the protein-specific glycan oxidation and the mediated pathogen-cell interactions, thus providing key quantitative information to distinguish and explore the pathogen-resistance and pharmacological mechanisms of different drugs.

Abstract
The highly contagious SARS-CoV-2 virus, responsible for the COVID-19 pandemic continues to pose significant challenges to public health. Developing new methods for early detection and diagnosis is crucial in combatting the disease, mitigating its impact and be prepared for future challenges in pandemic diseases. In this study, we propose a terahertz (THz) biosensing technology that capitalizes on the properties of THz metamaterial in conjunction with magnetic nanoparticles. This approach can accurately identify the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein by pinpointing its location on the THz resonance sources grooved surface. The magnetic nanoparticles are employed to selectively bind with target molecules, and migrate towards the THz metamaterial unit cell when exposed to an applied magnetic field. The presence of target molecules in to the metamaterial variation in the frequency, amplitude, and phase of the resonance response, thus enabling swift, accurate and sensitive detection. To assess the effectiveness of the proposed technique, we have conducted a comparative analysis between real samples on platforms controlled by magnetic manipulation and those without the control. It was confirmed that the proposed THz sensing method demonstrated a linear detection range spanning from 0.005 ng mL-1 to 1000 ng mL-1 with a detection limit of 0.002 ng mL-1. Furthermore, it exhibited a frequency shift of 24 GHz and a stability index of 95%. The THz biosensing technique may pave a new avenue in identifying and preempting the spread of potential pandemic diseases.

Abstract
The protein phenotypes of extracellular vesicles (EVs) have emerged as promising biomarkers for cancer diagnosis and treatment monitoring. However, the technical challenges in rapid isolation and multiplexed molecular detection of EVs have limited their clinical practice. Herein, we developed a magnetically driven tandem chip to achieve streamlined rapid isolation and multiplexed profiling of surface protein biomarkers of EVs. Driven by magnetic force, the magnetic nanomixers not only act as tiny stir bars to promote mass transfer and enhance reaction efficiency of EVs, but also transport on communicating vessels of the tandem chip continuously and expedite the assay workflow. We designed cyclic surface enhancement of Raman scattering (SERS) tags to bind with target EVs and then release them by exonuclease I, eliminating steric hindrance and amplifying the SERS signal of multiple protein biomarkers on EVs. Due to the excellent assay performance, six breast cancer biomarkers were detected simultaneously on EVs using only 10 μL plasma within 1.5 h. The unweighted SUM signature offers great accuracy in discriminating breast cancer patients from healthy donors. Overall, the dynamic magnetic driving tandem chip offers a new avenue to advance the clinical application of EV-based liquid biopsy.

Abstract
Cellular biomarkers mainly contain proteins, nucleic acids, glycans and many small molecules including small biomolecule metabolites, reactive oxygen species and other cellular chemical entities. The detection and mapping of the key cellular biomarkers can effectively help us to understand important cellular mechanisms associated with physiological and pathological processes, which greatly promote the development of clinical diagnosis and disease treatment. Surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) possesses high sensitivity and is free from the influence of strong self-fluorescence in living systems as well as the photobleaching of the dyes. It exhibits rich and narrow chemical fingerprint spectra for multiplexed detection, and has become a powerful tool to detect and map cellular biomarkers. In this review, we present an overview of recent advances in the detection and mapping of different classes of cellular biomarkers based on SERS sensing. These advances fully confirm that the SERS-based sensors and sensing methods have great potential for the exploration of biological mechanisms and clinical applications. Additionally, we also discuss the limitations of present research and the future developments of the SERS technology in this field.

Abstract
Omics technologies have rapidly evolved with the unprecedented potential to shape precision medicine. Novel omics approaches are imperative toallow rapid and accurate data collection and integration with clinical information and enable a new era of healthcare. In this comprehensive review, we highlight the utility of Raman spectroscopy (RS) as an emerging omics technology for clinically relevant applications using clinically significant samples and models. We discuss the use of RS both as a label-free approach for probing the intrinsic metabolites of biological materials, and as a labeled approach where signal from Raman reporters conjugated to nanoparticles (NPs) serve as an indirect measure for tracking protein biomarkers in vivo and for high throughout proteomics. We summarize the use of machine learning algorithms for processing RS data to allow accurate detection and evaluation of treatment response specifically focusing on cancer, cardiac, gastrointestinal, and neurodegenerative diseases. We also highlight the integration of RS with established omics approaches for holistic diagnostic information. Further, we elaborate on metal-free NPs that leverage the biological Raman-silent region overcoming the challenges of traditional metal NPs. We conclude the review with an outlook on future directions that will ultimately allow the adaptation of RS as a clinical approach and revolutionize precision medicine.

Abstract
Polydopamine (PDA) is a multifunctional biomimetic material that is friendly to biological organisms and the environment, and surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) sensors have the potential to be reused. Inspired by these two factors, this review summarizes examples of PDA-modified materials at the micron or nanoscale to provide suggestions for designing intelligent and sustainable SERS biosensors that can quickly and accurately monitor disease progression. Undoubtedly, PDA is a kind of double-sided adhesive, introducing various desired metals, Raman signal molecules, recognition components, and diverse sensing platforms to enhance the sensitivity, specificity, repeatability, and practicality of SERS sensors. Particularly, core-shell and chain-like structures could be constructed by PDA facilely, and then combined with microfluidic chips, microarrays, and lateral flow assays to provide excellent references. In addition, PDA membranes with special patterns, and hydrophobic and strong mechanical properties can be used as independent platforms to carry SERS substances. As an organic semiconductor material capable of facilitating charge transfer, PDA may possess the potential for chemical enhancement in SERS. In-depth research on the properties of PDA will be helpful for the development of multi-mode sensing and the integration of diagnosis and treatment.

Abstract
Mixing in microfluidic channels is dominated by diffusion owing to the absence of chaotic flow. However, high-efficiency microscale mixing over short distances is desired for the development of lab-on-chip systems. Here, enhanced mixing in microchannels achieved using magnetic nonspherical particles (MNSPs), is reported. Benefiting from the nonspherical shape of the MNSPs, secondary vortices exhibiting cyclical characteristics appear in microchannels when the MNSPs rotate under an external magnetic field. Increasing the rotation rate enlarges the secondary vortices, expanding the mixing zone and enhancing the mixing, resulting in a mixing efficiency exceeding 0.9 at Re of 0.069-0.69. Complementary micro-particle image velocimetry (µPIV) for flow field analysis clarifies the mixing mechanism. In addition, a chaotic vortex area is generated in the presence of two MNSPs, which shortens the distance required for achieving an appropriate mixing efficiency. This study demonstrates the potential of employing MNSPs as efficient mixers in lab-on-chip devices.

Abstract
Magnetic-based microfluidic SERS biosensors hold great potential in various biological analyses due to their integrated advantages including easy manipulation, miniaturization and ultrasensitivity. However, it remains challenging to collect reliable SERS nanoprobe signals for quantitative analysis due to the irregular aggregation of magnetic carriers in a microfluidic chamber. Here, magnetic/plasmonic hybrid nanostirrers embedded with a Raman reporter are developed as capture carriers to improve the reliability of microfluidic SERS biosensors. Experimental results revealed that SERS signals from magnetic hybrid nanostirrers could serve as microenvironment beacons of their irregular aggregation, and a signal filtering method was proposed through exploring the relationship between the intensity range of beacons and the signal reproducibility of SERS nanoprobes using interleukin 6 as a model target analyte. Using the signal filtering method, reliable SERS nanoprobe signals with high reproducibility could be picked out from similar microenvironments according to their beacon intensity, and then the influence of irregular aggregation of magnetic carriers on the SERS nanoprobe could be eliminated. The filtered SERS nanoprobe signals also exhibited excellent repeatability from independent tests, which lay a solid foundation for a reliable working curve and subsequent accurate bioassay. This study provides a simple but promising route for reliable microfluidic SERS biosensors, which will further promote their practical application in biological analysis.

Abstract
In the last few decades, point-of-care (POC) sensors have become increasingly important in the detection of various targets for the early diagnostics and treatment of diseases. Diverse nanomaterials are used as building blocks for the development of smart biosensors and magnetite nanoparticles (MNPs) are among them. The intrinsic properties of MNPs, such as their large surface area, chemical stability, ease of functionalization, high saturation magnetization, and more, mean they have great potential for use in biosensors. Moreover, the unique characteristics of MNPs, such as their response to external magnetic fields, allow them to be easily manipulated (concentrated and redispersed) in fluidic media. As they are functionalized with biomolecules, MNPs bear high sensitivity and selectivity towards the detection of target biomolecules, which means they are advantageous in biosensor development and lead to a more sensitive, rapid, and accurate identification and quantification of target analytes. Due to the abovementioned properties of functionalized MNPs and their unique magnetic characteristics, they could be employed in the creation of new POC devices, molecular logic gates, and new biomolecular-based biocomputing interfaces, which would build on new ideas and principles. The current review outlines the synthesis, surface coverage, and functionalization of MNPs, as well as recent advancements in magnetite-based biosensors for POC diagnostics and some perspectives in molecular logic, and it also contains some of our own results regarding the topic, which include synthetic MNPs, their application for sample preparation, and the design of fluorescent-based molecular logic gates.

Abstract
Glyphosate is the most widely used herbicide in the world and, in view of its toxicity, there is a quest for easy-to-use, but reliable methods to detect it in water. To address this issue, we realized a simple, rapid, and highly sensitive immunosensor based on gold coated magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs@Au) to detect glyphosate in tap water. Not only the gold shell provided a sensitive optical transduction of the biological signal - through the shift of the local surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) entailed by the nanoparticle aggregation -, but it also allowed us to use an effective photochemical immobilization technique to tether oriented antibodies straight on the nanoparticles surface. While such a feature led to aggregates in which the nanoparticles were at close proximity each other, the magnetic properties of the core offered us an efficient tool to steer the nanoparticles by a rotating magnetic field. As a result, the nanoparticle aggregation in presence of the target could take place at higher rate (enhanced diffusion) with significant improvement in sensitivity. As a matter of fact, the combination of plasmonic and magnetic properties within the same nanoparticles allowed us to realize a colorimetric biosensor with a limit of detection (LOD) of 20 ng∙L-1.

[PMID: 36373139 PMCID: PMC9637550 DOI: 10.1016/j.trac.2022.116814] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/21/2022] [Revised: 10/29/2022] [Accepted: 10/30/2022] [Indexed: 11/09/2022]
Abstract
The Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) outbreak has urged the establishment of a global-wide rapid diagnostic system. Current widely-used tests for COVID-19 include nucleic acid assays, immunoassays, and radiological imaging. Immunoassays play an irreplaceable role in rapidly diagnosing COVID-19 and monitoring the patients for the assessment of their severity, risks of the immune storm, and prediction of treatment outcomes. Despite of the enormous needs for immunoassays, the widespread use of traditional immunoassay platforms is still limited by high cost and low automation, which are currently not suitable for point-of-care tests (POCTs). Microfluidic chips with the features of low consumption, high throughput, and integration, provide the potential to enable immunoassays for POCTs, especially in remote areas. Meanwhile, luminescence detection can be merged with immunoassays on microfluidic platforms for their good performance in quantification, sensitivity, and specificity. This review introduces both homogenous and heterogenous luminescence immunoassays with various microfluidic platforms. We also summarize the strengths and weaknesses of the categorized methods, highlighting their recent typical progress. Additionally, different microfluidic platforms are described for comparison. The latest advances in combining luminescence immunoassays with microfluidic platforms for POCTs of COVID-19 are further explained with antigens, antibodies, and related cytokines. Finally, challenges and future perspectives were discussed.

Abstract
A magnetic micro stirrer bar (MMSB) is used in the mixing operation of microfluidic devices. We have established a low-cost and easy method to make MMSBs using magnetic (neodymium magnets, magnet sheets) or non-magnetic powders (SUS304) as materials. We demonstrated three kinds of MMSB have respective advantages. To confirm the practical use of this MMSB, a cell suspension of the motile unicellular green alga Chlamydomonas reinhardtii was stirred in microwells. As a result, the number of rotating cells increased with only one of the two flagella mechanically removed by the shear force of the rotating bar, which facilitates the kinetic analysis of the flagellar motion of the cell. The rotational motion of the monoflagellate cell was modeled as translational (orbital) + spinning motion of a sphere in a viscous fluid and the driving force per flagellum was confirmed to be consistent with previous literature. Since the present method does not use genetic manipulations or chemicals to remove a flagellum, it is possible to obtain cells in a more naturally viable state quickly and easily than before. However, since the components eluted from the powder material harm the health of cells, it was suggested that MMSB coated with resin for long-term use would be suitable for more diverse applications.

Abstract
Organ-on-a-chip (OOC) is an emerging technology that has been proposed as a new powerful cell-based tool to imitate the pathophysiological environment of human organs. For most OOC systems, a pivotal step is to culture cells in microfluidic devices. In active cell capturing techniques, external actuators, such as electrokinetic, magnetic, acoustic, and optical forces, or a combination of these forces, can be applied to trap cells after ejecting cell suspension into the microchannel inlet. This review paper distinguishes the characteristics of biomaterials and evaluates microfluidic technology. Besides, various types of OOC and their fabrication techniques are reported and various active cell capture microstructures are analyzed. Furthermore, their constraints, challenges, and future perspectives are provided.

Abstract
Surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS)-based immunoassay on encoded beads is highly attractive with the advantages of ultrasensitivity, multiplex and high throughput. However, it was a great challenge to screen out in-focus signals of the immunoconjugated SERS nanoprobes on spherical bead conveniently. Here, periodic SERS-encoded magnetic beads (PSE-MBs) were developed through droplet optofluidic technique by using monodisperse SERS-encoded magnetic nanospheres as building blocks. The designed PSE-MBs not only exhibit huge coding capacity, but also provide the strongest and reproducible SERS coding signals as "in-focus beacons". When PSE-MBs are used as capture carriers in SERS-based immunoassay, both multiple target analytes and in-focus signals of SERS nanoprobes could be easily identified according to the collected SERS coding signals. Thus, reliable quantitative analysis of multiple target analytes could be conveniently achieved by such detection protocol. Additionally, the magnetic ingredient in PSE-MBs made the operation easily during the bioassay. The multiple advantages of PSE-MBs including large coding capacity, in-focus beacons and magnetic operation endorse them to be robust capture carriers in reliable quantitative SERS-based multiplex immunoassay.

Abstract
With the ability to cross biological barriers, encapsulate and efficiently deliver drugs and nucleic acid therapeutics, and protect the loaded cargos from degradation, different soft polymer and lipid nanoparticles (including liposomes, cubosomes, and hexosomes) have received considerable interest in the last three decades as versatile platforms for drug delivery applications and for the design of vaccines. Hard nanocrystals (including gold nanoparticles and quantum dots) are also attractive for use in various biomedical applications. Here, microfluidics provides unique opportunities for the continuous synthesis of these hard and soft nanomaterials with controllable shapes and sizes, and their in situ characterization through manipulation of the flow conditions and coupling to synchrotron small-angle X-ray (SAXS), wide-angle scattering (WAXS), or neutron (SANS) scattering techniques, respectively. Two-dimensional (2D) and three-dimensional (3D) microfluidic devices are attractive not only for the continuous production of monodispersed nanomaterials, but also for improving our understanding of the involved nucleation and growth mechanisms during the formation of hard nanocrystals under confined geometry conditions. They allow further gaining insight into the involved dynamic structural transitions, mechanisms, and kinetics during the generation of self-assembled nanostructures (including drug nanocarriers) at different reaction times (ranging from fractions of seconds to minutes). This review provides an overview of recently developed 2D and 3D microfluidic platforms for the continuous production of nanomaterials, and their simultaneous use in in situ characterization investigations through coupling to nanostructural characterization techniques (e.g., SAXS, WAXS, and SANS).

Abstract
Single cell multimodal analysis is at the frontier of single cell research: it defines the roles and functions of distinct cell types through simultaneous analysis to provide unprecedented insight into cellular processes. Current single cell approaches are rapidly moving toward multimodal characterizations. It replaces one-dimensional single cell analysis, for example by allowing for simultaneous measurement of transcription and post-transcriptional regulation, epigenetic modifications and/or surface protein expression. By providing deeper insights into single cell processes, multimodal single cell analyses paves the way to new understandings in various cellular processes such as cell fate decisions, physiological heterogeneity or genotype-phenotype linkages. At the forefront of this, microfluidics is key for high-throughput single cell analysis. Here, we present an overview of the recent multimodal microfluidic platforms having a potential in biomedical research, with a specific focus on their potential clinical applications.

Abstract
There is a large gap between diagnostic needs and diagnostic access across much of sub-Saharan Africa (SSA), particularly for infectious diseases that inflict a substantial burden of morbidity and mortality. Accurate diagnostics are essential for the correct treatment of individuals and provide vital information underpinning disease surveillance, prevention, and control strategies. Digital molecular diagnostics combine the high sensitivity and specificity of molecular detection with point-of-care format and mobile connectivity. Recent developments in these technologies create an opportunity for a radical transformation of the diagnostic ecosystem. Rather than trying to emulate diagnostic laboratory models in resource-rich settings, African countries have the potential to pioneer new models of healthcare designed around digital diagnostics. This article describes the need for new diagnostic approaches, highlights advances in digital molecular diagnostic technology, and outlines their potential for tackling infectious diseases in SSA. It then addresses the steps that will be necessary for the development and implementation of digital molecular diagnostics. Although the focus is on infectious diseases in SSA, many of the principles apply to other resource-limited settings and to noncommunicable diseases.

Abstract
Synthetic micro/nanomotors have great potential in deep tissue imaging and in vivo drug delivery because of their active motion ability. However, applying nanomotors with a size less than 100 nm to in vivo imaging and therapy is one of the core changes in this field. Herein, a nanosized hydrogen peroxide (H2O2)-driven Janus gold nanorod-platinum (JAuNR-Pt) nanomotor is developed for enhancing the second near-infrared region (NIR-II) photoacoustic (PA) imaging of deep tissues of tumors and for effective tumor treatment. The JAuNR-Pt nanomotor is prepared by depositing platinum (Pt) on one end of a gold nanorod with varying proportions of Pt shell coverage, including 10%, 25%, 50%, 75%, and 100%. The JAuNR-Pt nanomotor with Pt shell coverage proportions of 50% exhibits the highest diffusion coefficient (De), and it can rapidly move in the presence of H2O2. The self-propulsion of JAuNR-Pt nanomotor enhances cellular uptake, accelerates lysosomal escape, and facilitates continuous release of cytotoxic Pt2+ ions to the nucleus, causing DNA damage and cell apoptosis. The JAuNR-Pt nanomotor presents deep penetration and enhanced accumulation in tumors as well as high tumor treatment effect. Therefore, this work displays deep tumor imaging and an excellent antitumor effect, providing an effective tool for accurate diagnosis and treatment of diseases.

Abstract
The recent coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic has underscored the need to move from traditional lab-centralized diagnostics to point-of-care (PoC) settings. Lab-on-a-chip (LoC) platforms facilitate the translation to PoC settings via the miniaturization, portability, integration, and automation of multiple assay functions onto a single chip. For this purpose, paper-based assays and microfluidic platforms are currently being extensively studied, and much focus is being directed towards simplifying their design while simultaneously improving multiplexing and automation capabilities. Signal amplification strategies are being applied to improve the performance of assays with respect to both sensitivity and selectivity, while smartphones are being integrated to expand the analytical power of the technology and promote its accessibility. In this chapter, we review the main technologies in the field of LoC platforms for PoC medical diagnostics and survey recent approaches for improving these assays.

Abstract
Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) widely involves in intracellular and intercellular redox signaling pathways, playing a vital role in regulating various physiological events. Nevertheless, current analytical methods for the H2O2 assay are often hindered by relatively long response time, low sensitivity, or self-interference. Herein, a zeolitic imidazolate framework-8 (ZIF-8)-based surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) sensor has been developed to detect H2O2 released from living cells by depositing ZIF-8 over SERS active gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) grafted with H2O2-responsive probe molecules, 2-mercaptohydroquinone. Combining the superior fingerprint identification of SERS and the highly efficient enrichment and selective response of H2O2 by ZIF, the ZIF-8-based SERS sensor exhibits a high anti-interference ability for H2O2 detection, with a limit of detection as low as 0.357 nM. Satisfyingly, owing to the enhanced catalytic activity derived from the successful integration of AuNPs and ZIF, the response time as short as 1 min can be obtained, demonstrating the effectiveness of the SERS sensor for rapid H2O2 detection. Furthermore, the developed SERS sensor enables real-time detection of H2O2 secreted from living cells under phorbol myristate acetate stimulation, as cells can be cultured on-chip. This study will pave the way toward the development of a metal-organic framework-based SERS platform for application in the fields of biosensing and early disease diagnosis associated with H2O2 secretion, thus exhibiting promising potential for future therapies.

Abstract
Cancer is a malignant disease that seriously affects human health and life. Early diagnosis and timely treatment can significantly improve the survival rate of cancer patients. Surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) is an optical technology that can detect and image samples at the single-molecule level. It has the advantages of rapidity, high specificity, high sensitivity and no damage to the sample.

Abstract
Herein, we developed a novel method for the efficient capture of waterborne bacteria by creating an autonomous internal reflux of the magnetic nanoparticle chains (MNCs) inside a flow channel. A glass tube containing positively charged polyethyleneimine-coated MNCs (PEI-MNCs) was placed at the center of a Halbach ring, generating a strong and uniform magnetic field inside the ring. When a bacteria-spiked solution was injected into the tube, the target bacteria bound to the PEI-MNCs via an electrostatic interaction remained in the tube, whereas the unbound bacteria left the tube. Some PEI-MNC-bacteria complexes left the glass tube at high flow rates because of the drag force, which reduced the capture efficiency of the device. The loss of the PEI-MNC-bacteria complexes at high flow rates was suppressed by placing a k0 ring behind the Halbach ring. The k0 ring was used to apply a magnetic force in the opposite direction of the solution flow and create an autonomous reflux of the PEI-MNCs inside the glass tube, reducing their loss and increasing their capture efficiency. The capture efficiency of Escherichia coli O157 was determined based on the cell count to be greater than 90% at a flow rate of 15 mL/min. E. coli O157 was detected using quantitative polymerase chain reaction, and the limits of detection were 2 and 3 cfu/mL in deionized water and river water, respectively.

Abstract
Magnetic field-induced synthesis and biocatalysis of magnetic materials have inspired great interest due to the flexible controllability of morphologies and unique magnetoelectrical properties. However, the interaction of the magnetic field and the reaction kinetics during the synthesis of magnetic nanochains has not been revealed. The collective motions in fluids and the multifunctional enhancements for bioreaction of 3D magnetic-controlled nanochains have not been systematically researched. Here, an integrated 3D magnetic control method was reported for the synthesis, collective motion, and multifunctional bioreaction enhancement of peasecod-like nanochains. The interactions of magnetic field and reaction kinetics were rationally controlled to synthesize magnetic nanochains of different morphologies. Collective motions of nanochains under alternating magnetic fields were studied to provide insights into the disturbance on confined fluids. Three mechanisms of reaction enhancement of nanostir, magnetic agent, and nanocatalyst were achieved simultaneously via 3D magnetic-controlled nanochains using a glucose oxidase-horseradish peroxidase multi-enzyme system. The peasecod-like nanochain also exhibited excellent reaction enhancement in cell-free protein synthesis reaction, which is desired for effective high-throughput screening. The integrated 3D magnetic control method through the whole process from fabrication to applications of magnetic nanomaterials could be extended to multifunctional biocatalysis and multi-task biomedicine.

Abstract
Acute myocardial infarction (AMI) is the leading cause of morbidity and mortality globally. The serum levels of a group of cardiac biomarkers have been regarded as important indicators in the routine diagnosis of AMI. The development of rapid, sensitive, and accurate detection methods of AMI biomarkers is urgently needed for the early diagnosis of AMI. Here, a dynamic and pseudo-homogeneous enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was reported based on the combined use of bioconjugated magnetic nanochains (MNCs) and gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) probes. The capture antibodies-conjugated MNCs served as dynamic nano-mixers to facilitate liquid mixing and as homogeneously dispersed capturing agents to capture and separate specific targets. The AuNPs probes were prepared by co-immobilization of detection antibodies and horseradish peroxidase (HRP) for signals amplification. The design of bioconjugated MNCs and AuNPs probes significantly increased the assay kinetics and improves the assay sensitivity. This novel ELISA strategy realized accurate detection of a panel of AMI biomarkers within 35 min, leading to considerably improved sensitivities compared to that of conventional ELISA method.

Abstract
Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are heterogeneous lipid containers with a complex molecular cargo comprising several populations with unique roles in biological processes. These vesicles are closely associated with specific physiological features, which makes them invaluable in the detection and monitoring of various diseases. EVs play a key role in pathophysiological processes by actively triggering genetic or metabolic responses. However, the heterogeneity of their structure and composition hinders their application in medical diagnosis and therapies. This diversity makes it difficult to establish their exact physiological roles, and the functions and composition of different EV (sub)populations. Ensemble averaging approaches currently employed for EV characterization, such as western blotting or 'omics' technologies, tend to obscure rather than reveal these heterogeneities. Recent developments in single-vesicle analysis have made it possible to overcome these limitations and have facilitated the development of practical clinical applications. In this review, we discuss the benefits and challenges inherent to the current methods for the analysis of single vesicles and review the contribution of these approaches to the understanding of EV biology. We describe the contributions of these recent technological advances to the characterization and phenotyping of EVs, examination of the role of EVs in cell-to-cell communication pathways and the identification and validation of EVs as disease biomarkers. Finally, we discuss the potential of innovative single-vesicle imaging and analysis methodologies using microfluidic devices, which promise to deliver rapid and effective basic and practical applications for minimally invasive prognosis systems.

Abstract
Noble metal nanostructures with designed hot spots have been widely investigated as surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS)-active substrates, particularly for selective and sensitive detection of protein cancer markers. For specific target recognition and efficient signal amplification, SERS probe design requires a choice of SERS-active nanostructures as well as their controlled functionalization with Raman dyes and target recognition entities such as antibodies. However, the chemical conjugation of antibodies and Raman dyes to SERS substrates has rarely been discussed to date, despite their substantial roles in detection schemes. The interfacial interactions of metal nanostructures with functional ligands during conjugation are known to be strongly influenced by the various chemical and physical properties of the ligands, such as size, molecular weight, surface charge, 3-dimensional structures, and hydrophilicity/hydrophobicity. In this review, we discuss recent developments in the design of SERS probes over the last 4 years, focusing on their conjugation chemistry for functionalization. A strong preference for covalent bonding is observed with Raman dyes having simpler molecular structures, whereas more complicated ones are non-covalently adsorbed. Antibodies are both covalently and non-covalently bonded to nanostructures, depending on their activity in the SERS probes. Considering that ligand conjugation is highly important for chemical stability, biocompatibility, and functionality of SERS probes, this review is expected to expand the understanding of their interfacial design, leading to SERS as one of the most promising spectroscopic analytical tools for the early detection of protein cancer markers.

Abstract
Bacterial infections are a major threat to human health, exacerbated by increasing antibiotic resistance. These infections can result in tremendous morbidity and mortality, emphasizing the need to identify and treat pathogenic bacteria quickly and effectively. Recent developments in detection methods have focused on electrochemical, optical, and mass-based biosensors. Advances in these systems include implementing multifunctional materials, microfluidic sampling, and portable data-processing to improve sensitivity, specificity, and ease of operation. Concurrently, advances in antibacterial treatment have largely focused on targeted and responsive delivery for both antibiotics and antibiotic alternatives. Antibiotic alternatives described here include repurposed drugs, antimicrobial peptides and polymers, nucleic acids, small molecules, living systems, and bacteriophages. Finally, closed-loop therapies are combining advances in the fields of both detection and treatment. This review provides a comprehensive summary of the current trends in detection and treatment systems for bacterial infections.

Abstract
Phenolics are ubiquitous in nature and have gained immense research attention because of their unique physiochemical properties and widespread industrial use. In recent decades, their accessibility, versatile reactivity, and relative biocompatibility have catalysed research in phenolic-enabled nanotechnology (PEN) particularly for biomedical applications which have been a major benefactor of this emergence, as largely demonstrated by polydopamine and polyphenols. Therefore, it is imperative to overveiw the fundamental mechanisms and synthetic strategies of PEN for state-of-the-art biomedical applications and provide a timely and comprehensive summary. In this review, we will focus on the principles and strategies involved in PEN and summarize the use of the PEN synthetic toolkit for particle engineering and the bottom-up synthesis of nanohybrid materials. Specifically, we will discuss the attractive forces between phenolics and complementary structural motifs in confined particle systems to synthesize high-quality products with controllable size, shape, composition, as well as surface chemistry and function. Additionally, phenolic's numerous applications in biosensing, bioimaging, and disease treatment will be highlighted. This review aims to provide guidelines for new scientists in the field and serve as an up-to-date compilation of what has been achieved in this area, while offering expert perspectives on PEN's use in translational research.

Abstract
Detecting circulating tumor cells (CTCs) has been considered one of the best biomarkers in liquid biopsy for early diagnosis and prognosis monitoring in cancer. A major challenge of using CTCs is detecting extremely low-concentrated targets in the presence of high noise factors such as serum and hematopoietic cells. This review provides a selective overview of the recent progress in the design of microfluidic devices with optical sensing tools and their application in the detection and analysis of CTCs and their small malignant subset, circulating cancer stem cells (CCSCs). Moreover, discussion of novel strategies to analyze the differentiation of circulating cancer stem cells will contribute to an understanding of metastatic cancer, which can help clinicians to make a better assessment. We believe that the topic discussed in this review can provide brief guideline for the development of microfluidic-based optical biosensors in cancer prognosis monitoring and clinical applications.

Abstract
Surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy is a significant analytical tool capable of fingerprint identification of molecule in a rapid and ultrasensitive manner. However, it is still hard to meet the requirements of practical sample analysis. The introduction of microfluidics can effectively enhance the performance of surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy in complex sample analysis including reproducibility, selectivity, sensitivity, and speed. This review summarizes the recent progress of microfluidics in surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopic analysis through four combination approaches. First, microfluidic synthetic techniques offer uniform nano-/microparticle fabrication approaches for reproductive surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopic analysis. Second, the integration of microchip and surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopic substrate provides advanced devices for sensitive and efficient detection. Third, microfluidic sample preparations enable rapid separation and preconcentration of analyte prior to surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopic detection. Fourth, highly integrated microfluidic devices can be employed to realize multistep surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopic analysis containing material fabrication, sample preparation, and detection processes. Furthermore, the challenges and outlooks of the application of microfluidics in surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopic analysis are discussed.

Abstract
Excessive production of oxidative species alters the normal redox balance and leads to diseases, such as chronic inflammation and cancer. Oxidative species are short-lived species, which makes direct, precise, and real-time measurements difficult. Herein, we report a novel core-satellite gold nanostructure for dual, ratiometric surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) and photoacoustic (PA) imaging to enable the precise detection of inflammation/cancer-related H2 O2 . The combination of H2 O2 -activated second near-infrared (NIR-II) PA imaging and SERS imaging enables the differentiation between the inflamed region and normal tissue with high accuracy. The mesoporous silica shell of the nanoprobe could be used to deliver drugs to the target area to precisely treat disease. Therefore, this core-satellite nanostructure can not only quantitatively and precisely monitor H2 O2 produced in inflammation, tumor, and osteoarthritis in rabbits in real-time, but can also be used to track the progress of the anti-inflammatory treatment in real-time.
