Abstract
The microfluidic paper-based analytical device (μPAD) platform is gaining attention as a low-cost, portable, and disposable detection tool. However, the limitations of traditional fabrication methods include poor reproducibility and the use of hydrophobic reagents. In this study, an in-house computer-controlled X-Y knife plotter and pen plotter were used to fabricate μPADs, resulting in a simple, more rapid, reproducible process that consumes less volume of reagents. The μPADs were laminated to increase mechanical strength and reduce sample evaporation during analysis. The resulting laminated paper-based analytical device (LPAD) was used to simultaneously determine glucose and total cholesterol in whole blood using the LF1 membrane as a sample zone. The LF1 membrane selectively separates plasma from whole blood by size exclusion and yields plasma for further enzymatic reaction steps while retaining blood cells and larger proteins. The i1 Pro 3 mini spectrophotometer directly detected color on the LPAD. The results were clinically relevant and in agreement with hospital methods, with a detection limit of 0.16 mmol L⁻1 for glucose and 0.57 mmol L⁻1 for TC. The LPAD retained color intensity after 60 days of storage. The LPAD offers a low-cost, high-performance option for chemical sensing devices and expands the applicability of markers for diagnosing whole blood samples.

Abstract
Humans mainly ingest arsenic through contaminated drinking water, causing serious health effects. The World Health Organization (WHO) has set the permissible limit of arsenic in drinking water at 0.01 mg/L and concentrations should be regularly determined to ensure a safe supply. In this study, a leucomalachite green (LMG) pectin-based hydrogel reagent was prepared that selectively reacted with arsenic over other metals including manganese, copper, lead, iron, and cadmium. Pectin, optimized at 0.2% (w/v), was used to form the hydrogel matrix. Arsenic reacts with potassium iodate in sodium acetate buffer medium to liberate iodine that then oxidizes LMG entrapped in pectin hydrogel to form a blue product. Camera-based photometry/ImageJ software was used to monitor the color intensity, eliminating the need for a spectrophotometer. The intensity of gray in the red channel was chosen as optimal for the red, green, and blue (RGB) analysis. The colorimetric assay revealed a dynamic detection range toward arsenic solution standards of 0.003-1 mg/L, covering the WHO recommendation of below 0.01 mg/L arsenic in drinking water. The assay gave recovery rates between 97 and 109% at a 95% confidence interval, with precision of 4-9%. Concentrations of arsenic in the spiked drinking water, tap water, and pond water samples monitored by the developed method agreed well with conventional inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry. This assay showed promise for on-site quantitative analysis of arsenic in water samples.

Abstract
Oxidized low-density lipoprotein (oxLDL) is the leading cause of atherosclerosis and cardiovascular diseases. Here, we created a simple colorimetric assay for sensitive and specific determination of oxLDL using a selective aptamer coupled with salt-induced gold nanoparticle (AuNP) aggregation. The aptamer was chosen by Systematic Evolution of Ligands by Exponential Enrichment to obtain a novel selective sequence towards oxLDL (as 5'-CCATCACGGGGCAGGCGGACAAGGGGTAAGGGCCACATCA-3'). Mixing a 5 μM aptamer solution with an aliquot of a sample containing oxLDL followed by adding AuNP solution (OD = 1) and 80 mmol L-1 NaCl achieved rapid results within 19 min: linear response to oxLDL from 0.002 to 0.5 μmol L-1 with high selectivity, a recovery accuracy of 100-111% at the 95% confidence interval, and within-run and between-run precision of 1-6% and 1-5% coefficient variations, respectively. Artificial serum diluted at least 1:8 with distilled water, analyzed by the aptamer-based colorimetric assay, showed excellent correlation with conventional thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS) (R2 = 0.9792) as a rapid colorimetric method without the need for sample preparation other than dilution.

Abstract
We present a novel dual-imprinted electrochemical paper-based analytical device (Di-ePAD) to simultaneously determine 8-hydroxy-2'-deoxyguanosine (8-OHdG) and 3-nitrotyrosine (3-NT) and assess oxidative and nitrative biomarkers in urine and plasma samples. The Di-ePAD was designed with hydrophobic barrier layers formed on filter paper to provide three-dimensional circular reservoirs and assembled electrodes. The molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP) was synthesized using a silica nanosphere decorated with silver nanoparticles (SiO2@AgNPs) as a core covered with dual-analyte imprinted sites on the polymer to recognize selectively and bind the target biomarkers. This strategy drives monodispersity and enhances the conductivity of the resulting MIP core-shell products. 3-NT-MIP and 8-OHdG-MIP were synthesized by successively coating the surface of SiO2@AgNPs with l-Cysteine via the thiol group, then terminating with MIP shells. The dual imprinted core-shell composites possess attractive properties for the target biomarkers' sensing, including catalytic activity, selectivity, and good conductivity. The Di-ePAD revealed excellent linear dynamic ranges of 0.01-500 μM for 3-NT and 0.05-500 μM for 8-OHdG, with detection limits of 0.0027 μM for 3-NT and 0.0138 μM for 8-OHdG. This newly developed method based on the synergistic effects of SiO2@AgNPs combined with promising properties of MIP offers outstanding selectivity, sensitivity, reproducibility, simplicity, and low cost for quantitative analysis of 3-NT and 8-OHdG. The proposed Di-ePAD showed good accuracy and precision when applied to actual samples, including urine and serum samples validated by a conventional HPLC method.

Abstract
Herein we demonstrate molecularly imprinted polymers (MIP) as plastic antibodies for a microplate-based assay. As the most abundant plasma protein, human serum albumin (HSA) was selected as the target analyte model. Thin film MIP was synthesized by the surface molecular imprinting approach using HSA as the template. The optimized polymer consisted of acrylic acid (AA) and N-vinylpyrrolidone (VP) in a 2:3 (w/w) ratio, crosslinked with N,N'-(1,2-dihydroxyethylene) bisacrylamide (DHEBA) and then coated on the microplate well. The binding of MIP toward the bound HSA was achieved via the Bradford reaction. The assay revealed a dynamic detection range toward HSA standards in the clinically relevant 1-10 g/dL range, with a 0.01 g/dL detection limit. HSA-MIP showed minimal interference from other serum protein components: γ-globulin had 11% of the HSA response, α-globulin of high-density lipoprotein had 9%, and β-globulin of low-density lipoprotein had 7%. The analytical accuracy of the assay was 89-106% at the 95% confidence interval, with precision at 4-9%. The MIP-coated microplate was stored for 2 months at room temperature without losing its binding ability. The results suggest that the thin film plastic antibody system can be successfully applied to analytical/pseudoimmunological HSA determinations in clinical applications.

Abstract
This work presents a simple hydrothermal synthesis of nitrogen-doped carbon dots (N-CDs), fabrication of microfluidic paper-based analytical device (μPAD), and their joint application for colorimetric determination of total cholesterol (TC) in human blood. The N-CDs were characterized by various techniques including transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), and the optical and electronic properties of computational models were studied using the time-dependent density functional theory (TD-DFT). The characterization results confirmed the successful doping of nitrogen on the surface of carbon dots. The N-CDs exhibited high affinity toward 2,2'-azino-bis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid)-diammonium salt (ABTS) with the Michaelis-Menten constant (KM) of 0.018 mM in a test for their peroxidase-like activity. Particularly, since hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) is the oxidative product of cholesterol in the presence of cholesterol oxidase, a sensitive and selective method of cholesterol detection was developed. Overall, the obtained results from TD-DFT confirm the strong adsorption of H2O2 on the graphitic N positions of the N-CDs. The laminated three-dimensional (3D)-μPAD featuring a 6 mm circular detection zone was fabricated using a simple wax screen printing technique. Classification of TC according to the clinically relevant criteria (healthy, <5.2 mM; borderline, 5.2-6.2 mM; and high risk, >6.2 mM) could be determined by the naked eye within 10 min by simple comparison using a color chart. Overall, the proposed colorimetric device serves as a low-cost, rapid, simple, sensitive, and selective alternative for TC detection in whole blood samples that is friendly to unskilled end users.

Abstract
Very-low-density lipoprotein (VLDL) contributes to the buildup of atherosclerotic plaque in the arteries and can lead to coronary heart disease. In clinical laboratory testing, the cholesterol content of VLDL (VLDL-C) cannot be assessed directly by the enzymatic colorimetric assay as it can for other lipoproteins, due to lack of a specific sample pretreatment technique. VLDL concentration relies on analyzing the endogenous triglycerides (TGs) bound in its particles and then converting to the VLDL-C estimate TGs/5. This estimation is valid for at least 12 h-fasted serum when exogenous TGs attached to chylomicrons (CMs) have been cleared from the circulation. A quartz crystal microbalance (QCM)-based sensor was generated using biomimetic sensing elements as a molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP) to directly measure actual VLDL. A novel VLDL-MIP was synthesized using methacrylic acid (MAA) and N-vinylpyrrolidone (VP) in the ratio 1:1 (v/v) as functional monomers in the presence of N, N'-(1,2-dihydroxyethylene) bis(acrylamide) (DHEBA) as a crosslinking agent. The VLDL-MIP sensor showed high sensitivity with a linear response from 2.5 mg dL-1 to 100 mg dL-1 of VLDL-C with a limit of detection at 1.5 mg dL-1. Recoveries of 96-103% were achieved when the VLDL-MIP sensor was used for VLDL assessment at 38-71 mg dL-1 concentrations. Repeatability and reproducibility of the sensor were very good with coefficients of variation at 1.63-4.74% and 4.25-9.04%, respectively. The sensor demonstrated low cross-reactivity with other lipoproteins; 6-7% of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) signals, 2-4% high-density lipoprotein (HDL), and 1% CMs compared to the signal of VLDL. Sensor results for 12 h-fasted serum and non-fasted serum correlated well with VLDL estimates TGs/5, with coefficients of determination (R2) at 0.9967 and 0.9932, respectively. This new sensor offers a new strategy for direct VLDL assessment from non-fasted serum without other sample pretreatment steps than dilution.

Abstract
Oxidized-low-density lipoprotein (oxLDL) is well-recognized as an actual patho-atherogenic lipoprotein: elevated serum concentration of oxLDL increases the risk for developing atherosclerosis, leading to coronary artery disease (CAD). Herein, we report an approach for sensing oxLDL directly in serum with molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP) thin films on quartz crystal microbalance (QCM). The resulting MIP sensors show low cross-reaction toward low-density lipoprotein (LDL) and high-density lipoprotein (HDL): signals are around one magnitude smaller. Very-low-density lipoprotein (VLDL) and human serum albumin (HSA) do not lead to any significant sensor response. The sensor allowed for accurately assessing oxLDL over the detection range of 86-5600 μg dL-1, which covers the clinically relevant concentrations. The sensor determines oxLDL with recovery accuracy of 92-107% and a precision of 1-8% coefficient variation. Compared with commercially available oxLDL ELISA test kit our sensor reveals similar characteristics obtaining a correlation coefficient of 0.98. However, the sensors have rapid response times of 10 min compared to 210 min of ELISA, which demonstrates their efficiency in assessing this sensitive atherogenic biomarker for CAD diagnostics.

Abstract
Decreased blood level of high-density lipoprotein (HDL) is one of the essential criteria in diagnosing metabolic syndrome associated with the development of atherosclerosis and coronary heart disease. Herein, we report the synthesis of a molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP) that selectively binds HDL, namely, HDL-MIP, and thus serves as an artificial, biomimetic sensor layer. The optimized polymer contains methacrylic acid and N-vinylpyrrolidone in the ratio of 2:3, cross-linked with ethylene glycol dimethacrylate. On 10 MHz dual electrode quartz crystal microbalances (QCM), such HDL-MIP revealed dynamic detection range toward HDL standards in the clinically relevant ranges of 2–250 mg/dL HDL cholesterol (HDL-C) in 10 mM phosphate-buffered saline (PBS, pH = 7.4) without significant interference: low-density lipoprotein (LDL) yields 5% of the HDL signal, and both very-low-density lipoprotein (VLDL) and human serum albumin (HSA) yield 0%. The sensor reveals recovery rates between 94 and 104% at 95% confidence interval with precision of 2.3–7.7% and shows appreciable correlation (R2 = 0.97) with enzymatic colorimetric assay, the standard in clinical tests. In contrast to the latter, it achieves rapid results (10 min) during one-step analysis without the need for sample preparation. ᅟ ![]()

Abstract
Increased level of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) strongly correlates with incidence of coronary heart disease. We synthesized novel molecularly imprinted polymers (MIP) as biomimetic specific receptors to establish rapid analysis of LDL levels. For that purpose the ratios of monomers acrylic acid (AA), methacrylic acid (MAA), and N-vinylpyrrolidone (VP), respectively, were screened on 10 MHz dual-electrode quartz crystal microbalances (QCM). Mixing MAA and VP in the ratio 3:2 (m/m) revealed linear sensor characteristic to LDL cholesterol (LDL-C) from 4 to 400 mg/dL or 0.10-10.34 mmol/L in 100 mM phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) without significant interference: high-density lipoprotein (HDL) yields 4-6% of the LDL signal, very-low-density-lipoprotein (VLDL) yields 1-3%, and human serum albumin (HSA) yields 0-2%. The LDL-MIP sensor reveals analytical accuracy of 95-96% at the 95% confidence interval with precision at 6-15%, respectively. Human serum diluted 1:2 with PBS buffer was analyzed by LDL-MIP sensors to demonstrate applicability to real-life samples. The sensor responses are excellently correlated to the results of the standard technique, namely, a homogeneous enzymatic assay (R(2) = 0.97). This demonstrates that the system can be successfully applied to human serum samples for determining LDL concentrations.
