Urinary dengue NS1 detection on Au-decorated ZnO nanowire platform
Biosens Bioelectron. 2024 Mar 13;254:116218. doi: 10.1016/j.bios.2024.116218. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTBiodetection for non-invasive diagnostics of fluids, especially urine, remains a challenge to scientists due to low target concentrations. And biological complexes of the detection target may contain contaminants that also interfere with any assay. Dengue non-structural 1 protein (Dengue NS1) is an important biomarker for dengue hemorrhagic fever and dengue shock syndrome. Here, we developed an Au-decorated nanowire platform and applied it with a sandwich fluorophore-linked immunosorbent well plate assay (FLISA) to d...

On-chip bioluminescence biosensor for the detection of microbial surface contamination
In this study, we introduce a biosensor based on a CMOS image sensor for ATP-mediated chemiluminescence detection. The original lens and IR filter were removed from the CMOS sensor revealing a 12 MP periodic microlens/pixel array on an area of 6.5 mm × 3.6 mm. UltraSnap swabs are used to collect samples from solid surfaces including personal electronic devices, and office and laboratory equipment. Samples mixed with chemiluminescence reagents were placed directly on the surface of the image sensor. Close proximity of the sample to the photodiode array leads to high photon collection efficiency. The population of microorga...

A generalizable sensing platform based on molecularly imprinted polymer-aptamer double recognition and nanoenzyme assisted photoelectrochemical-colorimetric dual-mode detection
In this study, a generalizable photoelectrochemical-colorimetric dual-mode sensing platform was constructed based on the synergistic effects of a molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP)-aptamer sandwich structure and nanoenzymes. The MIP functionalized peroxidase-like Fe3O4 (Fe3O4@MIPs) and alkaline phosphatase mimic Zr-MOF labeled aptamer (Zr-mof@Apt) were used as the recognition elements. By selectively accumulating dibutyl phthalate (DBP), a small molecule target model, on Fe3O4@MIPs, the formation of Zr-MOF@Apt-DBP- Fe3O4@MIPs sandwich structure was triggered. Fe3O4@MIPs oxidized TMB to form blue-colored oxTMB. However, up...
