This study introduces a rapid microfluidic assay without blocking (MAWB) for HIV testing. MAWB combines screening and confirmation, significantly improving speed and accuracy for quicker HIV diagnosis.

Area of Science:

  • Biomedical Engineering
  • Diagnostic Assays
  • Microfluidics

Background:

  • Current HIV screening assays have limitations requiring confirmatory tests.
  • There is a need for faster, more accurate HIV diagnostic methods.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a rapid microfluidic assay combining HIV screening and confirmation.
  • To accelerate assay time by eliminating the blocking step, creating the microfluidic assay without blocking (MAWB).

Main Methods:

  • Developed a microfluidic network assay (MAWB) that bypasses the blocking step.
  • Determined assay parameters using a model protein pair (ovalbumin and its antibody).
  • Validated the method for both HIV screening and confirmation on clinical samples.

Published on: June 23, 2022

Main Results:

  • MAWB accelerated assay time by approximately 25% while maintaining the limit of detection (LOD).
  • Successfully formatted the assay for HIV screening and confirmation within 30 minutes.
  • Demonstrated fast screening and confirmation of 20 plasma samples with improved accuracy and throughput.

Conclusions:

  • MAWB offers improved assay speed, accuracy, and throughput compared to conventional ELISA for HIV testing.
  • The method is a promising candidate for rapid HIV screening and confirmation in clinical settings.
  • MAWB has potential for broad applications in clinical diagnosis and molecular interaction analysis.
