Nanofluidic Preconcentration Device for Sensitive and Wide Dynamic Range Immuno-sensing
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper describes a microfluidic immunoassay device with integrated preconcentration system, enabling the detection of various analytes (proteins) at low target concentrations with faster binding kinetics. It not only complements recent advances of novel immuno-biosensors, but also can be used to further enhance the most novel and advanced immuno-biosensor systems developed. The work has demonstrated significant sensitivity/kinetics enhancement by the preconcentration of antigens before the binding.

Pre-binding dynamic range and sensitivity enhancement for immuno-sensors using nanofluidic preconcentrator.
Almost all immuno-biosensors are inherently limited by the quality of antibodies available for the target molecule, and obtaining a highly sensitive antibody for a given target molecule is a challenge. We describe a highly efficient and flexible way to enhance immunoassay detection sensitivity and binding kinetics using a nanofluidic based electrokinetic preconcentrator. The device is a microfl...
متن کاملFabrication and Characterization of an Integrated Microsystem for Biomolecular Preconcentration and Sensing
1 We report on a fabrication and packaging process for a microsystem consisting of a mass-based 2 protein detector and a fully integrated preconcentrator. Preconcentration of protein is achieved 3 by means of a nanofluidic concentrator, which takes advantage of fast non-linear electro-osmotic 4 flow near a nanochannel-microchannel junction to concentrate charged molecules inside a 5 volume of f...
متن کاملFiber - Optic Sensing of Linear Thermal Expansion (RESEARCH NOTES)
The use of a LED fiber-optic sensor to measure displacement and linear thermal expansion is described. It has a sensitivity of about 0.6 mV/mm, a resolution of 1.25 mm, and a dynamic rang of 400 mm for displacement measurements. For thermal expansion, it shows a sensitivity of about 3.5 mV/C, and the experimental linear expansion values are in agreement with those calculated. The reported senso...
متن کاملHigh-Sensitive and Selective Liquid Membrane Electrode for Direct Determination of Trace Amounts of Chromium
N-(2H-[1,2,4]thiadiazolo[2,3-a]pyridine-2-ylidene)benzamide was used as a selective sensing material in the PVC membrane to construction of a new chromium ion selective electrode. This liquid membrane electrode worked well with a Nernstian response of 19.7 ±0.4 mV decade-1 of Cr(III) in a wide dynamic concentration range of 8.0× 10-6-1.0×10-1 M. The electrode had relatively short response time ...
