Abstract
To minimize background interference in electrochemical enzymatic biosensors employing electron mediators, it is essential for the electrochemical oxidation of electroactive interfering species (ISs), such as ascorbic acid (AA), to proceed slowly, and for the redox reactions between electron mediators and ISs to occur at a low rate. In this study, we introduce a novel combination of a working electrode and an electron mediator that effectively mitigates interference effects. Compared to commonly used electrodes such as Au, glassy carbon, and indium tin oxide (ITO), boron-doped diamond (BDD) electrodes demonstrate significantly lower anodic current (i.e., lower background levels) in the presence of AA. Additionally, menadione (MD) exhibits notably slower reactivity with AA compared to other electron mediators such as Ru(NH3)63+, 4-amino-1-naphthol, and 1,4-naphthoquinone, primarily due to the lower formal potential of MD compared to AA. This synergistic combination of BDD electrode and MD is effectively applied in three biosensors: (i) glucose detection using electrochemical-enzymatic (EN) redox cycling, (ii) glucose detection using electrochemical-enzymatic-enzymatic (ENN) redox cycling, and (iii) lactate detection using ENN redox cycling. Our developed approach significantly outperforms the combination of ITO electrode and MD in minimizing IS interference. Glucose in artificial serum can be detected with detection limits of ~ 20 μM and ~ 3 μM in EN and ENN redox cycling, respectively. Furthermore, lactate in human serum can be detected with a detection limit of ~ 30 μM. This study demonstrates sensitive glucose and lactate detection with minimal interference, eliminating the need for (bio)chemical agents to remove interfering species.

Abstract
Direct pen writing offers versatile opportunities for development of low-cost tests for point-of-care applications. In this work a lateral flow immunoassay (LFIA) test was fabricated by hand "writing" immunoprobes onto hand-cut nitrocellulose strips with a commercial fountain pen. The qualitative capabilities of the test were extended by addition of a Raman reporter and consequent design and fabrication of a Surface Enhanced Resonant Raman Scattering (SERRS)-LFIA test. As proof-of-concept, dual detection of penicillin G was achieved in milk with a visual LOD of 20 ppm and a dynamic range of 0.03-97.5 ppm. Evaluation against equivalent tests performed with conventionally prepared LFIA strips showed comparable results, thus demonstrating the validity of the test. These results demonstrate the potential for further decrease in cost and consequent broader use of LFIA tests in remote regions and resource-limited environments.

Abstract
While paper-based lateral-flow immunoassays (LFA) offer considerable promise for centralized diagnostic applications, the analytical capability of conventional LFA remains constrained due to the low sensitivity of its common optical detection strategy. To address these issues, we report a simple electrochemical LFA (eLFA) with nanocatalytic redox cycling for decentralized insulin detection. Simultaneous binding of insulin with detection antibodies and capture antibodies through the capillary flow at the LFA platform and signal amplification through the rapid nanocatalytic reduction of [Fe(CN)6]3- (Fe3+) with Au nanoparticles (AuNP) and ammonia-borane (AB), coupled to electrochemical redox cycling reactions involving Fe3+, AuNP, and AB on the carbon working electrode, offer higher sensitivity than conventional colorimetric LFA and enzymatic redox cycling. The resulting integrated eLFA strip allows the detection of low insulin concentrations (LOD = 12 pM) and offers considerable promise for highly sensitive decentralized assays of different biological fluids (saliva and serum) without additional pretreatment or washing steps.

Abstract
Troponin I as a particular and major biomarker of cardiac failure is released to blood demonstrating hurt of myocardial cells. Unfortunately, troponin I detection in the first hours of acute myocardial infarction usually faces with most negligence. Therefore, developments of point of care devices such as lateral flow strips are highly required for timely diagnosis and prognosis. Lateral flow assays are low-cost paper-based detection platforms relying on specific diagnostic agents such as aptamers and antibodies for a rapid, selective, quantitative and semi-quantitative detection of the analyte in a complex mixture. Moreover, lateral flow assay devices are portable, and their simplicity of use eliminates the need for experts or any complicated equipment to operate and interpret the test results. Additionally, by coupling the lateral flow assay technology with nanotechnology, for labeling and signal amplification, many breakthroughs in the field of diagnostics have been achieved. The present study reviews the use of lateral flow assays in early stage, quantitative, and sensitive detection of cardiac troponin I and mainly focuses on the structure of each type of developed lateral flow assays. Finally, this review summarized the improvements, detection time, and limit of detection of each study as well as the advantages and disadvantages.

Abstract
Lateral flow assays (LFAs) are the best-performing and best-known point-of-care tests worldwide. Over the last decade, they have experienced an increasing interest by researchers towards improving their analytical performance while maintaining their robust assay platform. Commercially, visual and optical detection strategies dominate, but it is especially the research on integrating electrochemical (EC) approaches that may have a chance to significantly improve an LFA's performance that is needed in order to detect analytes reliably at lower concentrations than currently possible. In fact, EC-LFAs offer advantages in terms of quantitative determination, low-cost, high sensitivity, and even simple, label-free strategies. Here, the various configurations of EC-LFAs published are summarized and critically evaluated. In short, most of them rely on applying conventional transducers, e.g., screen-printed electrode, to ensure reliability of the assay, and additional advances are afforded by the beneficial features of nanomaterials. It is predicted that these will be further implemented in EC-LFAs as high-performance transducers. Considering the low cost of point-of-care devices, it becomes even more important to also identify strategies that efficiently integrate nanomaterials into EC-LFAs in a high-throughput manner while maintaining their favorable analytical performance.

Abstract
Electrochemical detection is the simplest analytical tool to be integrated into digital microfluidics (DMF). It offers the advantages of small size, with detector electrodes incorporated into the device by patterning, and high compatibility with portable analytical instruments. Indium tin oxide (ITO) coated on glass has been commonly used for the top plate of DMF due to its good conductivity and transparency. However, instability and the low current response of ITO electrodes patterned on glass hindered their application for immunoassays. It has been reported that ITO coated on polyethylene terephthalate (PET) has better conductivity, owing to its higher carrier concentration, faster mobility and lower resistivity. Herein, we investigated the use of ITO electrodes patterned on PET film as the top plate of DMF for a simple and stable electrochemical immunoassay using square wave voltammetry (SWV), with an excellent peak resolution and high sensitivity. A magnetic bead-based immunoassay for H5N1 antigen was performed on a DMF platform with a limit of detection of 0.6 ng mL-1 in buffer and 18 ng mL-1 in human serum. These results showed the good electrochemical performance of ITO coated on a PET film, a lightweight, shock resistant and cost-effective material, which is promising for DMF fabrication and transparent electrodes for various electroanalytical methods.

Abstract
Bienzymatic systems are often used with electrochemical affinity biosensors to achieve high signal levels and/or low background levels. It is important to select two enzymes whose reactions do not exhibit mutual interference but have similar optimal conditions. Here, we report a sensitive electrochemical immunosensor based on a bienzymatic system consisting of β-galactosidase (Gal, a hydrolase enzyme) and flavin adenine dinucleotide-dependent glucose dehydrogenase (FAD-GDH, a redox enzyme). Both enzymes showed high activities at neutral pH, the reactions catalyzed by them did not exhibit mutual interference, and the electrochemical-enzymatic redox cycling based on FAD-GDH coupled with enzymatic amplification by Gal enabled high signal amplification. Among the three amino-hydroxy-naphthalenes and 4-aminophenol (potential Gal products), 4-amino-1-naphthol showed the highest signal amplification. Glucose, as an electro-inactive, stable reducing agent for redox cycling, helped in achieving low background levels. Our bienzymatic system could detect parathyroid hormone at a detection limit of ∼0.2 pg mL-1, implying that it can be used for highly sensitive electrochemical detection of parathyroid hormone and other biomarkers in human serum.

Abstract
Lateral flow assays (LFAs) are the best-performing and best-known point-of-care tests worldwide. Over the last decade, they have experienced an increasing interest by researchers towards improving their analytical performance while maintaining their robust assay platform. Commercially, visual and optical detection strategies dominate, but it is especially the research on integrating electrochemical (EC) approaches that may have a chance to significantly improve an LFA’s performance that is needed in order to detect analytes reliably at lower concentrations than currently possible. In fact, EC-LFAs offer advantages in terms of quantitative determination, low-cost, high sensitivity, and even simple, label-free strategies. Here, the various configurations of EC-LFAs published are summarized and critically evaluated. In short, most of them rely on applying conventional transducers, e.g., screen-printed electrode, to ensure reliability of the assay, and additional advances are afforded by the beneficial features of nanomaterials. It is predicted that these will be further implemented in EC-LFAs as high-performance transducers. Considering the low cost of point-of-care devices, it becomes even more important to also identify strategies that efficiently integrate nanomaterials into EC-LFAs in a high-throughput manner while maintaining their favorable analytical performance.

Abstract
Paper-based analytical devices (PADs) and Electrospun Fiber-Based Biosensors (EFBs) have aroused the interest of the academy and industry due to their affordability, sensitivity, ease of use, robustness, being equipment-free, and deliverability to end-users. These features make them suitable to face the need for point-of-care (POC) diagnostics, monitoring, environmental, and quality food control applications. Our work introduces new and experienced researchers in the field to a practical guide for fibrous-based biosensors fabrication with insight into the chemical and physical interaction of fibrous materials with a wide variety of materials for functionalization and biofunctionalization purposes. This research also allows readers to compare classical and novel materials, fabrication techniques, immobilization methods, signal transduction, and readout. Moreover, the examined classical and alternative mathematical models provide a powerful tool for bioanalytical device designing for the multiple steps required in biosensing platforms. Finally, we aimed this research to comprise the current state of PADs and EFBs research and their future direction to offer the reader a full insight on this topic.

Abstract
In the present article we report a new hybrid microfluidic device (hyFlow) comprising a disposable paper electrode and a three-dimensional (3D) printed plastic chip for the electrochemical detection of a magnetic bead-silver nanoparticle (MB-AgNP) bioconjugate. This hybrid device evolved due to the difficulty of incorporating micron-scale MBs into paper-only fluidic devices. Specifically, paper fluidic devices can entrap MB-containing conjugates within their cellulose or nitrocellulose fiber matrix. The hyFlow system was designed to minimize such issues and transport MB conjugates more efficiently to the electrochemical detection zone of the device. The hyFlow system retains the benefit of fluid transport by pressure-driven flow, however, no pump is required for its operation. The hyFlow device is capable of detecting either pre-formed MB-AgNP conjugates or conjugates formed in situ. The detection limit of AgNPs using this device is 12 pM, which represents just 22 AgNPs per MB.

Abstract
Paper-based lateral-flow assays (LFAs) have achieved considerable commercial success and continue to have a significant impact on medical diagnostics and environmental monitoring. Conventional LFAs are typically performed by examining the color changes in the test bands by naked eye. However, for critical biochemical markers that are present in extremely small amounts in the clinical specimens, this readout method is not quantitative, and does not provide sufficient sensitivity or suitable detection limit for a reliable assay. Diverse technologies for high-sensitivity LFA detection have been developed and commercialization efforts are underway. In this review, we aim to provide a critical and objective overview of the recent progress in high-sensitivity LFA detection technologies, which involve the exploitation of the physical and chemical responses of transducing particles. The features and biomedical applications of the technologies, along with future prospects and challenges, are also discussed.

Abstract
Recent advances in biosensors and point-of-care (PoC) devices are poised to change and expand the delivery of diagnostics from conventional lateral-flow assays and test strips that dominate the market currently, to newly emerging wearable and implantable devices that can provide continuous monitoring. Soft and flexible materials are playing a key role in propelling these trends towards real-time and remote health monitoring. Affinity biosensors have the capability to provide for diagnosis and monitoring of cancerous, cardiovascular, infectious and genetic diseases by the detection of biomarkers using affinity interactions. This review tracks the evolution of affinity sensors from conventional lateral-flow test strips to wearable/implantable devices enabled by soft and flexible materials. Initially, we highlight conventional affinity sensors exploiting membrane and paper materials which have been so successfully applied in point-of-care tests, such as lateral-flow immunoassay strips and emerging microfluidic paper-based devices. We then turn our attention to the multifarious polymer designs that provide both the base materials for sensor designs, such as PDMS, and more advanced functionalised materials that are capable of both recognition and transduction, such as conducting and molecularly imprinted polymers. The subsequent content discusses wearable soft and flexible material-based affinity sensors, classified as flexible and skin-mountable, textile materials-based and contact lens-based affinity sensors. In the final sections, we explore the possibilities for implantable/injectable soft and flexible material-based affinity sensors, including hydrogels, microencapsulated sensors and optical fibers. This area is truly a work in progress and we trust that this review will help pull together the many technological streams that are contributing to the field.

Abstract
Flexible biosensors represent an increasingly important and rapidly developing field of research. Flexible materials offer several advantages as supports of biosensing platforms in terms of flexibility, weight, conformability, portability, cost, disposability and scope for integration. On the other hand, electrochemical detection is perfectly suited to flexible biosensing devices. The present paper reviews the field of integrated electrochemical bionsensors fabricated on flexible materials (plastic, paper and textiles) which are used as functional base substrates. The vast majority of electrochemical flexible lab-on-a-chip (LOC) biosensing devices are based on plastic supports in a single or layered configuration. Among these, wearable devices are perhaps the ones that most vividly demonstrate the utility of the concept of flexible biosensors while diagnostic cards represent the state-of-the art in terms of integration and functionality. Another important type of flexible biosensors utilize paper as a functional support material enabling the fabrication of low-cost and disposable paper-based devices operating on the lateral flow, drop-casting or folding (origami) principles. Finally, textile-based biosensors are beginning to emerge enabling real-time measurements in the working environment or in wound care applications. This review is timely due to the significant advances that have taken place over the last few years in the area of LOC biosensors and aims to direct the readers to emerging trends in this field.

Abstract
Biosensors for ultrasensitive point-of-care testing require dried reagents with long-term stability and a high signal-to-background ratio. Although ortho-substituted diaromatic dihydroxy and aminohydroxy compounds undergo fast redox reactions, they are not used as electrochemical signaling species because they are readily oxidized and polymerized by dissolved oxygen. In this report, stable, solid 1-amino-2-naphthyl phosphate (1A2N-P) and ammonia-borane (H3N-BH3) are respectively employed as a substrate for alkaline phosphatase (ALP) and a reductant for electrochemical-chemical (EC) redox cycling. ALP converts 1A2N-P to 1-amino-2-naphthol (1A2N), which is then employed in EC redox cycling using H3N-BH3. The oxidation and polymerization of 1A2N by dissolved oxygen is significantly prevented in the presence of H3N-BH3. The electrochemical measurement is performed without modification of indium-tin oxide (ITO) electrodes with electrocatalytic materials. For comparison, nine aromatic dihydroxy and aminohydroxy compounds, including 1A2N, are evaluated to achieve fast EC redox cycling, and four strong reductants, including H3N-BH3, are evaluated to achieve a low background level. The combination of 1A2N and H3N-BH3 allows the achievement of a very high signal-to-background ratio. When the newly developed combination is applied to the detection of creatine kinase-MB (CK-MB), the detection limit for CK-MB is ∼80 fg/mL, indicating that the combination allows ultrasensitive detection. The concentrations of CK-MB in clinical serum samples, determined using the developed system, are in good agreement with the concentrations obtained using a commercial instrument. Thus, the use of stable, solid 1A2N-P and H3N-BH3 along with bare ITO electrodes is highly promising for ultrasensitive and simple point-of-care testing.

Abstract
There is an increasing need for highly sensitive and quantitative diagnostics at the point-of-care. The lateral flow immunoassay (LFA) is one of the most widely used point-of-care diagnostic tests; however, LFAs generally suffer from low sensitivity and lack of quantification. To overcome these limitations, thermal contrast amplification (TCA) is a new method that is based on the laser excitation of gold nanoparticles (GNPs), the most commonly used visual signature, to evoke a thermal signature. To facilitate the clinical translation of the TCA technology, we present the development of a TCA reader, a platform technology that significantly improves the limit of detection and provides quantification of disease antigens in LFAs. This TCA reader provides enhanced sensitivity over visual detection by the human eye or by a colorimetric reader (e.g., BD Veritor System Reader). More specifically, the TCA reader demonstrated up to an 8-fold enhanced analytical sensitivity and quantification among LFAs for influenza, malaria, and Clostridium difficile. Systematic characterization of the laser, infrared camera, and other components of the reader and their integration into a working reader instrument are described. The development of the TCA reader enables simple, highly sensitive quantification of LFAs at the point-of-care.

Abstract
This communication reports a new nanocatalytic scheme based on the facts that the redox reaction between a highly outer-sphere-reaction-philic (OSR-philic) species and a highly inner-sphere-reaction-philic (ISR-philic) species is slow and that an OSR- and ISR-philic Au-nanocatalyst label can mediate the two different types of redox species. This scheme allows highly sensitive and incubation free detection of creatine kinase-MB.

Abstract
Sensitivity is the main concern at the development of rapid test by lateral flow immunoassays. On the other hand, low limits of detection are often required at medical diagnostics and other field of analysis. To overcome this drawback, several enhancement protocols have been described. In this paper, we have selected different silver enhancement methods and one dual gold conjugation, and we critically compared the amplification produced when applied to a gold-nanoparticle based lateral flow immunoassay for the detection of prostate specific antigen (PSA). The highest amplification was obtained by using an immersion method based on a solution of silver nitrate and hydroquinone/citrate buffer in proportion 1:1. Under these conditions, the system is capable of detecting PSA within 20 min at levels as low as 0.1 ng/mL, with a 3-fold sensitivity improvement.

Abstract
In this study, a lateral flow immunochromatographic assay (LFIA) system for the detection of immunoglobulin M (IgM) antibodies, related to TORCH [(T)oxoplasmosis, (O)ther agents, (R)ubella (also known as German Measles), (C)ytomegalovirus, and (H)erpes simplex virus infections], based on gold magnetic nanoparticles, was established. Following modification with poly(methacrylic acid), the gold magnetic nanoparticles conjugated with an anti‑human IgM antibody (μ‑chain specific) to construct a probe. A lateral flow assay device was constructed based on these conjugates. IgM antibodies to four types of pathogens, notably toxoplasmosis, rubella virus, cytomegalovirus and herpes simplex virus type 2, were detected using this device. Compared with commercial colloidal gold‑based LFIA strips, our method exhibited higher sensitivity. No interference with triglycerides, hemoglobin and bilirubin occurred, and no cross‑reactivity was noted among the four pathogens. The gold magnetic nanoparticle‑LFIA strips were used to assess 41 seropositive and 121 seronegative serum samples. The sensitivity was 100% (162/162) and the specificity was 100% (162/162). This method cannot only be used for the detection of TORCH IgM-specific antibodies, but it can potentially be developed for use in the diagnosis of other acute or recently identified autoimmune diseases.

Abstract
In this study, we developed a micropyramid array electrode that facilitates contact between a nitrocellulose membrane and electrode, which is important to realize a quantitative and sensitive electrochemical detection system for immunochromatography. We evaluated the micropyamid array electrode with our newly developed detection system that can measure contact forces between a membrane and electrode, and also investigated the relationship between redox current and contact forces. By using normal pulse voltammetry, we observed higher reduction currents over a flat surface electrode at lower contact forces with the micropyramid array.

Abstract
Washing processes, essential in most heterogeneous labeled assays, have been a big hurdle in simplifying the detection procedure and reducing assay time. Nevertheless, less attention has been paid to washing-free heterogeneous labeled assays. We report a purely washing-free immunosensor that allows fast, sensitive, and single-step detection of prostate-specific antigen in serum with low interference. Proximity-dependent electron mediation of ferrocenemethanol (Fc) between an indium-tin oxide (ITO) electrode and a glucose-oxidase (GOx) label allows us to discriminate between a bound and an unbound label: a bound label offers faster electron mediation than an unbound one. The electrooxidation of Fc at a low applied potential (0.13 V vs Ag/AgCl) and a low electrocatalytic ITO electrode and the oxidation of l-ascorbic acid by l-ascorbate oxidase minimize the effect of the interfering species. With a high concentration of glucose (200 mM), the signal and background levels are hardly dependent on the glucose-concentration variation in the sample. The washing-free immunosensor can detect a concentration of ca. 1 pg/mL for mouse IgG in phosphate-buffered saline and a concentration of ca. 10 pg/mL for prostate-specific antigen spiked in female serum after an incubation period of 10 min. The concentrations measured with actual clinical serum samples are in good agreement with the concentrations measured with a commercial instrument, which renders the washing-free heterogeneous immunosensor appealing for practical use.
