Background:

Biosensor platforms require miniaturization and increased sensitivity for advanced applications.
Microfluidic techniques are crucial for developing compact and efficient biosensing devices.
Current methods face limitations in achieving both high miniaturization and sensitivity simultaneously.

Purpose of the Study:

To develop and validate an optimized microfluidic stop-flow technique for enhanced biosensor performance.
To demonstrate the applicability of this technique across different detection methods, such as electrochemical and optical.
To establish a universally applicable model system for studying the advantages and limitations of the stop-flow method.

Main Methods:

Optimization of microfluidic stop-flow techniques.
Development of a universally applicable model system for numerical simulations.
Proof-of-principle experiments using electrochemical biosensor platforms with a repressor protein-based assay for tetracycline antibiotics.

Main Results:

The stop-flow technique enables data evaluation via peak height, allowing for significant miniaturization of channel geometries.
Numerical simulations were used to study the advantages and limitations of the method.
Experiments showed identical current peak heights in miniaturized (6x smaller) channels, resulting in a 22-fold signal amplification compared to constant flow.

Conclusions:

The optimized microfluidic stop-flow technique successfully enhances biosensor miniaturization and sensitivity.
This approach offers a 22-fold signal amplification in miniaturized systems, outperforming constant flow measurements.
The method is independent of the detection technique and applicable to various biosensor designs.
