Area of Science:

  • Biomedical Engineering
  • Analytical Chemistry
  • Clinical Diagnostics

Background:

  • Point-of-care testing (POCT) requires efficient and automated liquid handling for complex immunoassays.
  • Traditional methods often involve manual, time-consuming steps, limiting POCT applications.
  • Developing miniaturized, cost-effective automated systems is crucial for advancing POCT.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To propose and develop an automated liquid operation method for multistep heterogeneous immunoassays for POCT.
  • To design a miniaturized peristaltic pump for precise control of micro-liter liquid volumes.
  • To integrate the pump with assay components for fully automated immunoassay execution.

Main Methods:

  • Development of a miniaturized peristaltic pump for programmable control of liquid flow (direction, time, rate).
  • Coupling the pump with an antibody-coated capillary and a preloaded reagent cartridge.
  • Automated execution of heterogeneous immunoassay steps including sample metering, reagent introduction, and rinsing.
  • Fluorescence detection for analytical performance evaluation.

Main Results:

  • Successful automation of complex liquid handling for heterogeneous immunoassays in 12 minutes.
  • Demonstrated analytical performance for human immunoglobulin G (IgG) measurement.
  • Achieved a low limit of detection (LOD) of 0.68 μg/mL for IgG.
  • Established a wide dynamic range of 2-300 μg/mL for IgG detection.

Conclusions:

  • The developed automated liquid handling system significantly simplifies and accelerates heterogeneous immunoassays for POCT.
  • The miniaturized peristaltic pump offers a low-cost, user-friendly solution for precise micro-volume liquid control.
  • The system demonstrates robust analytical performance, suitable for sensitive biomarker detection at the point of care.
