Area of Science:

  • Biomedical Engineering
  • Analytical Chemistry
  • Immunosensing

Background:

  • Tuberculosis remains a significant global public health challenge.
  • There is a critical need for advanced diagnostic methods for early tuberculosis detection.
  • Current diagnostic tools require improvement in sensitivity and speed.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a novel High Fundamental Frequency (HFF) piezoelectric immunosensor for sensitive tuberculosis biomarker detection.
  • To utilize a specific 38 kDa protein biomarker secreted by Mycobacterium tuberculosis.
  • To establish a highly sensitive detection platform for early tuberculosis diagnosis.

Main Methods:

  • Development of an HFF piezoelectric immunosensor using 100 MHz quartz crystals.
  • Functionalization of gold electrode surfaces with the 38 kDa tuberculosis biomarker via mixed self-assembled monolayers (mSAM).
  • Integration of a competitive immunoassay using Myc-31 monoclonal antibody (MAb) for biomarker recognition.

Main Results:

  • The HFF immunosensor demonstrated a limit of detection as low as 11 ng mL-1 for the 38 kDa biomarker.
  • Achieved high sensitivity in the picomolar range for biomarker detection.
  • Reliable assay signals were obtained using optimized low concentrations of antigen and MAb.

Conclusions:

  • The developed HFF piezoelectric immunosensor is a promising tool for sensitive and direct detection of tuberculosis biomarkers.
  • Its high detectability in biological fluids like sputum supports early and accurate diagnosis.
  • This technology advances the field of biosensing for infectious disease management.
