Abstract
This paper describes energy trapping of circumferential shear horizontal wave (C-SH wave) at a circumferential inner groove of a hollow cylinder. We first derive exact solutions of resonant frequencies of the C-SH wave from the classical theory of guided waves propagating in a hollow cylinder and approximated solutions from the relationship between wavelength of the C-SH wave and length of circumferential path of the hollow cylinder. Next, we examined the energy trapping conditions using the dispersion curves of a guided wave propagating in the longitudinal direction of a hollow cylinder, and showed that C-SH waves trap energy when the hollow cylinder has a circumferential groove on the inner surface, rather than on the outer surface. The energy trapping at an inner groove was confirmed for the C-SH wave with the circumferential order of n = 6 using eigen frequency analysis of finite element method and experiments with electromagnetic transducers. Moreover, when the energy trap mode was used to determine the change in resonance frequency for glycerin solution of different concentrations, it was confirmed that the resonance frequency decreased monotonically as the concentration increased, indicating the possibility of using the energy trap mode as a QCM-like sensor.

Abstract
Quartz-crystal-microbalance (QCM) biosensor is a typical label-free biosensor, and its sensitivity can be greatly improved by removing electrodes and wires that would be otherwise attached to the surfaces of the quartz resonator. The wireless-electrodeless QCM biosensor was then developed using a microelectro-mechanical systems (MEMS) process, although challenges remain in the sensitivity, the coupling efficiency, and the miniaturization (or mass production). In this study, we establish a MEMS process to obtain a large number of identical ultrasensitive and highly efficient sensor chips with dimensions of 6 mm square. The fundamental shear resonance frequency of the thinned AT-cut quartz resonator packaged in the microchannel exceeds 160 MHz, which is excited by antennas deposited on inner walls of the microchannel, significantly improving the electro-mechanical coupling efficiency in the wireless operation. The high sensitivity of the developed MEMS QCM biosensors is confirmed by the immunoglobulin G (IgG) detection using protein A and ZZ-tag displaying a bionanocapsule (ZZ-BNC), where we find that the ZZ-BNC can provide more effective binding sites and higher affinity to the target molecules, indicating a further enhancement in the sensitivity of the MEMS QCM biosensor. We then perform the label-free C-reactive protein (CRP) detection using the ZZ-BNC-functionalized MEMS QCM biosensor, which achieves a detection limit of 1 ng mL-1 or less even with direct detection.

Abstract
A faithful description of polypeptide adsorption at ionizable surfaces remains a theoretical challenge from a molecular perspective due to the strong coupling of local thermodynamic nonideality and ionizations of both the adsorbate and substrate that are sensitive to the solution condition such as pH, ion valence, and salt concentration. Building upon a recently developed coarse-grained model for natural amino acids in bulk electrolyte solutions, here we report a molecular theory applicable to polypeptide adsorption on ionizable inorganic surfaces over a broad range of inhomogeneous conditions. Our thermodynamic model is able to account for diverse solution effects as well as the amino-acid sequence on polypeptide adsorption and surface association such as hydrogen bonding or bidentate coordination. The theoretical predictions have been validated by extensive comparison with experimental data for the adsorption isotherms of three representative polypeptides at a titanium surface.

Abstract
Quartz crystal microbalance (QCM) has been widely used for various sensing applications, including chirality detection due to the high sensitivity to nanogram or picogram mass changes, fast response, real-time detection, easy operation, suitability in different media, and low experimental cost. The sensing performance of QCM is dependent on the surface design of the recognition layers. Various strategies have been employed for studying the relationship between the structural features and the specific detection of chiral isomers. This review provides an overview of the construction of chiral sensing layers by various nanostructures and materials in the QCM system, which include organic molecules, supermolecular assemblies, inorganic nanostructures, and metal surfaces. The sensing mechanisms based on these surface nanostructures and the related potentials for chiral detection by the QCM system are also summarized.

Abstract
Dialysis-related amyloidosis (DRA), a serious complication among long-term hemodialysis patients, is caused by amyloid fibrils of β2-microglobulin (β2m). Although high serum β2m levels and a long dialysis vintage are the primary and secondary risk factors for the onset of DRA, respectively, patients with these do not always develop DRA, indicating that there are additional risk factors. To clarify these unknown factors, we investigate the effects of human sera on β2m amyloid fibril formation, revealing that sera markedly inhibit amyloid fibril formation. Results from over 100 sera indicate that, although the inhibitory effects of sera deteriorate in long-term dialysis patients, they are ameliorated by maintenance dialysis treatments in the short term. Serum albumin prevents amyloid fibril formation based on macromolecular crowding effects, and decreased serum albumin concentration in dialysis patients is a tertiary risk factor for the onset of DRA. We construct a theoretical model assuming cumulative effects of the three risk factors, suggesting the importance of monitoring temporary and accumulated risks to prevent the development of amyloidosis, which occurs based on supersaturation-limited amyloid fibril formation in a crowded milieu.

Abstract
The latex agglutination test is employed to visualize antigen-antibody reactions through the aggregation of antibody-coated particles in the presence of an antigen. In the present study, we developed an ultrasound scattering technique to detect latex agglutination in an optically turbid media. However, the ultrasonic technique had less sensitivity to the dilute particle suspension than the optical techniques because of its wavelength. Therefore, we applied a time-correlation approach to detect small amounts of these aggregates using a sophisticated noise correction algorithm in the frequency domain. The lowest concentration of avidin used to detect aggregations of the biotin-coated particle using the ultrasound scattering technique was found to be 0.625 μg/ml. Furthermore, since the density differences between the particle and liquid were larger for silica suspensions than for polystyrene (PS) suspensions, a larger signal was proposed to be expected from silica suspensions. Nevertheless, it was found that latex agglutinations with the PS particle were more sensitive than those with the silica particles. The dynamic ultrasound scattering analysis along the sedimentation direction also supported the presence of strongly scattered intensity components of the PS aggregates, which is proposed to be due to the resonance scattering from PS spherical particles. Therefore, this technique can be employed to enhance scattering signals from particles for application in the agglutination test using ultrasound.

Abstract
Qualitative and quantitative mass analysis of antibodies and related macromolecular immune complexes is a prerequisite for determining their identity, binding partners, stoichiometries, and affinities. A plethora of bioanalytical technologies exist to determine such characteristics, typically based on size, interaction with functionalized surfaces, light scattering, or direct mass measurements. While these methods are highly complementary, they also exhibit unique strengths and weaknesses. Here, we benchmark mass photometry (MP), a recently introduced technology for mass measurement, against native mass spectrometry (MS) and size exclusion chromatography multi-angle light scattering (SEC-MALS). We examine samples of variable complexity, namely, IgG4Δhinge dimerizing half-bodies, IgG-RGY hexamers, heterogeneously glycosylated IgG:sEGFR antibody-antigen complexes, and finally megadalton assemblies involved in complement activation. We thereby assess the ability to determine (1) binding affinities and stoichiometries, (2) accurate masses, for extensively glycosylated species, and (3) assembly pathways of large heterogeneous immune complexes. We find that MP provides a sensitive approach for characterizing antibodies and stable assemblies, with dissociation correction enabling us to expand the measurable affinity range. In terms of mass resolution and accuracy, native MS performs the best but is occasionally hampered by artifacts induced by electrospray ionization, and its resolving power diminishes when analyzing extensively glycosylated proteins. In the latter cases, MP performs well, but single-particle charge detection MS can also be useful in this respect, measuring masses of heterogeneous assemblies even more accurately. Both methods perform well compared to SEC-MALS, still being the most established method in biopharma. Together, our data highlight the complementarity of these approaches, each having its unique strengths and weaknesses.

Abstract
Despite being a fundamental tool in soft matter research and biosensing, quartz crystal microbalance (QCM) analyses of discrete macromolecules in liquids so far lack a firm theoretical basis. Quite often, acoustic signals of discrete particles are qualitatively interpreted using ad hoc frameworks based on effective electrical circuits, effective springs and trapped-solvent models with many fitting parameters. Nevertheless, due to its extreme sensitivity, the QCM technique pledges to become an accurate predictive tool. Using unsteady low Reynolds hydrodynamics we derive analytical expressions for the acoustic impedance of adsorbed discrete spheres. The present approach is successfully validated against 3D simulations and a plethora of experimental results covering more than a decade of research on proteins, viruses, liposomes, and massive nanoparticles, with sizes ranging from a few to hundreds of nanometers. The agreement without fitting parameters indicates that the acoustic response is dominated by the hydrodynamic propagation of the particle surface stress over the resonator. Understanding this leading contribution is a prerequisite for deciphering the secondary contributions arising from the relevant specific molecular and physico-chemical forces.

Abstract
Energy trapping of circumferential resonant modes at a thin-walled groove in a hollow cylinder is discussed using theoretical dispersion curves of guided waves, semi-analytical finite element (SAFE) calculations, and experiments. The analysis of the dispersion curves predicts the energy trapping at a thin-walled groove using the analogy of energy trapping of Lamb waves in a stepped plate. The energy trapping frequencies and displacement distributions at these frequencies were independently obtained with SAFE calculations and experiments. They agreed well with each other and proved that the energy trapping modes exist at the thin-walled groove in the hollow cylinder.

Abstract
Label-free biosensors, including conventional quartz-crystal-microbalance (QCM) biosensors, are seriously affected by nonspecific adsorption of contaminants involved in analyte solution, and it is exceptionally difficult to extract the sensor responses caused only by the targets. In this study, we reveal that this difficulty can be overcome with an ultrahigh-frequency, wireless QCM biosensor. The sensitivity of a QCM biosensor dramatically improves when the quartz resonator is thinned, which also makes the resonance frequency higher, causing high-speed surface movement. Contaminants weakly (nonspecifically) interact with the quartz surface, but they fail to follow the fast surface movement and cannot be detected as the loaded mass. The targets are, however, tightly captured by the receptor proteins immobilized on the surface, and they can move with the surface, contributing to the loaded mass and decreasing the resonant frequency. We have developed a MEMS QCM biosensor in which an AT-cut quartz resonator, 26 μm thick, is packaged without fixing, and we demonstrate this phenomenon by comparing the frequency changes of the fundamental (∼64 MHz) and ninth (∼576 MHz) modes. At ultrahigh-frequency operation with the ninth mode, the sensor response is independent of the amount of impurity proteins, and the binding affinity is unchanged. We then applied this method to the label-free and sandwich-free, direct detection of C-reactive protein (CRP) in serum and confirmed its applicability.

Abstract
Unlike previous in vitro measurements where Amyloid β (Aβ) aggregation was studied in bulk solutions, we detect the structure change of the Aβ aggregate on the surface of a wireless quartz-crystal-microbalance biosensor, which resembles more closely the aggregation process on the cell membrane. Using a 58 MHz quartz crystal, we monitored changes in the viscoelastic properties of the aggregate formed on the quartz surface from monomers to oligomers and then to fibrils, involving up to the 7th overtone mode (406 MHz). With atomic-force microscopy observations, we found a significant stiffness increase as well as thinning of the protein layer during the structure change from oligomer to fibrils at 20 h, which indicates that the stiffness of the fibril is much higher. Viscoelasticity can provide a significant index of fibrillation and can be useful for evaluating inhibitory medicines in drug development.

Abstract
Quartz Crystal Microbalance (QCM) sensors are actively being implemented in various fields due to their compatibility with different operating conditions in gaseous/liquid mediums for a wide range of measurements. This trend has been matched by the parallel advancement in tailored electronic interfacing systems for QCM sensors. That is, selecting the appropriate electronic circuit is vital for accurate sensor measurements. Many techniques were developed over time to cover the expanding measurement requirements (e.g., accommodating highly-damping environments). This paper presents a comprehensive review of the various existing QCM electronic interfacing systems. Namely, impedance-based analysis, oscillators (conventional and lock-in based techniques), exponential decay methods and the emerging phase-mass based characterization. The aforementioned methods are discussed in detail and qualitatively compared in terms of their performance for various applications. In addition, some theoretical improvements and recommendations are introduced for adequate systems implementation. Finally, specific design considerations of high-temperature microbalance systems (e.g., GaPO₄ crystals (GCM) and Langasite crystals (LCM)) are introduced, while assessing their overall system performance, stability and quality compared to conventional low-temperature applications.

Abstract
Surface second harmonic generation (SHG) is a coherent, nonlinear optical technique that is well suited for investigations of biomolecular interactions at interfaces. SHG is surface specific due to the intrinsic symmetry constraints on the nonlinear process, providing a distinct analytical advantage over linear spectroscopic methods, such as fluorescence and UV-Visible absorbance spectroscopies. SHG has the ability to detect low concentrations of analytes, such as proteins, peptides, and small molecules, due to its high sensitivity, and the second harmonic response can be enhanced through the use of target molecules that are resonant with the incident (ω) and/or second harmonic (2ω) frequencies. This review describes the theoretical background of SHG, and then it discusses its sensitivity, limit of detection, and the implementation of the method. It also encompasses the applications of surface SHG directed at the study of protein-surface, small-molecule-surface, and nanoparticle-membrane interactions, as well as molecular chirality, imaging, and immunoassays. The versatility, high sensitivity, and surface specificity of SHG show great potential for developments in biosensors and bioassays.

Abstract
Surface-Enhanced Raman Spectroscopy (SERS) is a label-free technique that enables quick monitoring of substances at low concentrations in biological matrices. These advantages make it an attractive tool for the development of point-of-care tests suitable for Therapeutic Drug Monitoring (TDM) of drugs with a narrow therapeutic window, such as chemotherapeutic drugs, immunosuppressants, and various anticonvulsants. In this article, the current applications of SERS in the field of TDM for cancer therapy are discussed in detail and illustrated according to the different strategies and substrates. In particular, future perspectives are provided and special concerns regarding the standardization of self-assembly methods and nanofabrication procedures, quality assurance, and technology readiness are critically evaluated.

Abstract
Photocured dental resins are used extensively in restorative procedures in dentistry. Inadequate curing reduces the lifetime of the dental restoration, and consequently it is essential to precisely measure the polymerisation kinetics. In this study, two techniques, Quartz Crystal Microbalance (QCM) and Photoacoustic Spectroscopy (PAS), were used to monitor the real-time cure and to obtain the optical absorption spectra of resins, respectively. From the PAS measurements, the precise peaks of absorption were identified, and were used as the appropriate wavelength of the photocuring light in the QCM monitoring. The combined use of these techniques allows reliable determination of the duration of the phases of physical and chemical changes that occur during photocuring. Two commercial dental resins were tested, and the results confirmed the advantages of using PAS and QCM to study polymerisation kinetics.

Abstract
Imperative utilization of biosensors has acquired paramount importance in the field of drug discovery, biomedicine, food safety standards, defense, security, and environmental monitoring. This has led to the invention of precise and powerful analytical tools using biological sensing element as biosensor. Glucometers utilizing the strategy of electrochemical detection of oxygen or hydrogen peroxide using immobilized glucose oxidase electrode seeded the discovery of biosensors. Recent advances in biological techniques and instrumentation involving fluorescence tag to nanomaterials have increased the sensitive limit of biosensors. Use of aptamers or nucleotides, affibodies, peptide arrays, and molecule imprinted polymers provide tools to develop innovative biosensors over classical methods. Integrated approaches provided a better perspective for developing specific and sensitive biosensors with high regenerative potentials. Various biosensors ranging from nanomaterials, polymers to microbes have wider potential applications. It is quite important to integrate multifaceted approaches to design biosensors that have the potential for diverse usage. In light of this, this review provides an overview of different types of biosensors being used ranging from electrochemical, fluorescence tagged, nanomaterials, silica or quartz, and microbes for various biomedical and environmental applications with future outlook of biosensor technology.

Abstract
In this paper, a biological protocol for endotoxin detection has been developed and optimized by quartz crystal microbalance (QCM). The parameters involved in the formation of the self-assembled monolayer (SAM) have been analyzed, and a study of the pH of the ligand buffer has been performed in order to find the best condition for the ligand immobilization and, in consequence, for the endotoxin detection. The detection limit obtained with the characterized biological protocol corresponds to 1.90 μg/ml. The effectiveness of the optimized biological protocol has been analyzed by cyclic voltammetry analysis.
