A low-cost automated biosensor system using Spreeta technology was developed for detecting endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs). This prototype demonstrates comparable sensitivity to established systems for bisphenol A and thyroxine detection.

Area of Science:

  • Biomedical Engineering
  • Environmental Science
  • Analytical Chemistry

Background:

  • Endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs) pose significant environmental and health risks.
  • Existing detection methods can be costly and complex.
  • Development of low-cost, automated biosensors is crucial for effective EDC screening.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To construct and evaluate an automated, low-cost biosensor prototype for EDC detection.
  • To optimize the system using a model immunoassay for bisphenol A (BPA).
  • To implement and assess assays for thyroid EDCs.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized a Spreeta miniature liquid sensor integrated into an aluminum flow cell.
  • Employed a pressurized air-driven fluid system for sample delivery.

  • Developed monoclonal antibody (MAb)-based immunoassays and protein inhibition assays.

    • Main Results:

    • Achieved low system noise (1.1 microRIU/min) and minimal baseline drift (5-10 microRIU/100 min) within 18-22°C.
    • Optimized flow cell height (100 µm) and flow rate (180 µL/min) for optimal signal-to-noise ratio.
    • Demonstrated comparable sensitivity to a Biacore 3000 for BPA and thyroxine (T4) detection.

    Conclusions:

    • The Spreeta-based prototype is a viable, low-cost alternative for EDC detection.
    • The system is suitable for use with ready-to-use biosensor chip surfaces.
    • This technology offers potential for bioeffect-related screening of EDCs.
