Abstract

Rapid, sensitive and flexible assay systems are needed for immunoassays, receptor-ligand binding studies and DNA probe assays. Filtration capture and sensor detection offer several advantages to these areas. Although dependent on the affinity of the specific binders employed, the sensitivity of these techniques can be in the order of 10(-12) M, and total assay time can be less than 15 minutes.

From host response to genomic targets: electrochemical biosensing of tuberculosis biomarkers.

Tuberculosis (TB) remains one of the leading causes of death from a single infectious agent worldwide, with timely diagnosis continuing to be a major challenge, particularly in resource-limited settings. Conventional TB diagnostic methods are limited by low sensitivity, long turnaround times, and an inability to reliably differentiate latent from active disease. Biomarker-based diagnostic strategies have therefore gained increasing attention as they offer the potential to improve early detection, disease differentiation, and treatment monitoring. Herein, we examine electrochemical biosensing strategies for TB diagnostics using a biomarker-class-driven framework, covering host-response biomarkers (IFN-γ and TNF-α), pathogen-derived antigens (ESAT6, CFP10, CFP10-ESAT6, MPT64, Ag85, HspX and LpqH), cell-wall signatures and whole-cell markers (LAM and whole cell Mtb), and genomic markers (Mtb DNA and IS6110). Through structured comparison of recognition elements, biointerface designs, signal amplification strategies, electrochemical techniques, matrices, and validation levels, this review identifies the most promising technical approaches for different TB biomarker classes. It further highlights key translational bottlenecks, including limited clinical validation, buffer-based testing, complex multistep amplification, redox-probe dependence, matrix fouling, and insufficient evidence of manufacturability. This review therefore provides practical guidance for developing electrochemical TB biosensors that are analytically sensitive, clinically relevant, and suitable for decentralized diagnostic applications.

Metal-organic frameworks nanozyme-integrated portable microneedle patch for visual bacterial monitoring in meat.

Foodborne microbial contamination is a major global health concern, with conventional methods often being time-consuming and complex. Herein, we developed a novel portable biosensor by integrating microneedle patch technology and a metal-organic framework (Fe/Cu-NBDC MOF) nanozyme, enabling rapid, on-site, visual detection of bacteria in meat. The sensing system works by encapsulating aptamer-functionalized MOF nanozymes within a hydrogel patch, where their catalytic sites are initially blocked by the aptamer. In the presence of Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) as the target, the specific aptamer's binding to bacteria exposes numerous catalytic sites, further activating the chromogenic reaction of the tetramethylbenzidine‑hydrogen peroxide (TMB-H₂O₂) system, enabling visual detection of S. aureus. The biosensor demonstrates a detection limit of 82 CFU/mL with excellent specificity to successfully apply to commercial mutton. By integrating sampling, enrichment, and visual detection into a single compact device, this platform offers a practical, efficient solution for rapid on-site screening of foodborne pathogens.

Second-order kinetic analysis of IAsys biosensor data: its use and applicability.

The kinetic analysis of IAsys biosensor association data usually relies upon the assumption of constant ligate concentration. In certain circumstances this assumption may no longer be valid. In a similar vein, the analysis of the dissociation phase assumes the concentration of ligate to be negligible in the liquid phase-an assumption that may not be sustainable for high-affinity interactions. In this paper we derive analytical solutions of the second-order differential kinetic equations for the association and dissociation phases, together with a binding isotherm that also allows for changes in concentration of both the ligand and the ligate. Using these equations it is possible to determine the conditions under which the pseudo-first-order assumption ceases to be valid. It is found that the effect of ligate depletion on the association rate constant becomes significant only when binding low ligate concentrations to ligand on surfaces with high binding capacities or high affinities. Similarly, the rebinding in the dissociation phase is dependent upon the affinity and the ligand capacity together with the starting dissociation response compared to the capacity. Finally, depletion also affects the form of the binding isotherm, particularly in situations involving high matrix capacities for ligate and high-affinity interactions.
