Abstract
Current developments in precision medicine require the simultaneous detection of an increasing number of biomarkers in heterogeneous, complex solutions, such as blood samples. To meet this need, immunoassays on barcoded hydrogel beads have been proposed, although the encoding and decoding of these barcodes is usually complex and/or resource-intensive. Herein, an efficient method for the fabrication of barcoded, functionalized hydrogel beads is presented. The hydrogel beads are generated using droplet-based microfluidics in combination with photochemically induced C-H insertion reactions, allowing photo-crosslinking, (bio-) functionalization, and barcode integration to be performed in a single step. The generated functionalized beads carry single-color barcodes consisting of green-fluorescent particles of different sizes and concentrations, allowing simple and simultaneous readout with a standard plate reader. As a test example, the performance of barcoded hydrogel beads (3 × 3 matrix) functionalized with capture molecules of interest (e.g., antigens) is investigated for the detection of Lyme-disease-specific antibodies in patient sera. The described barcoding strategy for hydrogel beads does not interfere with the bioanalytical process and captivates by its simplicity and versatility, making it an attractive candidate for multiplex bioanalytical processes.

Abstract
Cytomegalovirus (CMV) is the most frequent cause of congenital infection worldwide; congenital CMV may lead to significant mortality, morbidity, or long-term sequelae, such as sensorineural hearing loss. The current study presents a newly designed surface plasmon resonance (SPR) biosensor for CMV-specific microRNAs that does not involve extra care for receptor immobilization or treatment to prevent fouling on bare gold surfaces. The modification-free approach, which utilizes a poly-adenine [poly(A)]-Au interaction, exhibited a high affinity that was comparable to that of the gold-sulfur (Au-S) interaction. In addition, magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) were used to separate the analyte from complex sample matrixes that significantly reduced nonspecific adsorption. Moreover, the MNPs also played an important role in SPR signal amplification due to the binding-induced change in the refractive index. Our SPR biosensing platform was used successfully for the multi-detection of the microRNAs, UL22A-5p, and UL112-3p, which were associated with CMV. Our SPR biosensor offered the detection limits of 108 fM and 24 fM for UL22A-5p and UL112-3p, respectively, with an R2 of 0.9661 and 0.9985, respectively. The precision of this biosensor has an acceptable CV (coefficient of variation) value of <10%. In addition, our sensor is capable of discriminating between serum samples collected from healthy and CMV-infected newborns. Taken together, we believe that our newly developed SPR biosensing platform is a promising alternative for the diagnosis of CMV-specific microRNA in clinical settings, and its application for the detection of other miRNAs may be extended further.
