Area of Science:

  • Biomedical Engineering
  • Analytical Chemistry
  • Oncology

Background:

  • Breast cancer is a leading global health concern for women.
  • Early diagnosis and prognosis rely heavily on detecting specific biomarkers.
  • CA15-3 is a key protein biomarker associated with breast cancer.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a rapid, low-cost, and disposable microfluidic immunoarray device (DμID) for breast cancer biomarker detection.
  • To detect the CA15-3 biomarker using the developed DμID.
  • To validate the DμID's performance against established methods.

Main Methods:

  • Construction of a DμID using a simple prototyping technique with a microfluidic channel and screen-printed electrodes.
  • Immobilization of antibodies on the immunoarray using a layer-by-layer technique.
  • Utilized magnetic particles (MPs) conjugated with antibodies and enzymes for biomarker capture, preconcentration, and signal amplification.

Main Results:

  • Achieved a low limit of detection (LoD) of 6 μU mL⁻¹ for CA15-3, which is 1200 times lower than previously reported immunosensors.
  • Required only 2 μL of serum for 8 simultaneous detections.
  • Demonstrated excellent correlation with a commercial electrochemiluminescence immunoassay in real patient samples.

Conclusions:

  • The DμID offers a promising breakthrough for low-cost and accurate breast cancer biomarker detection.
  • Integration of nanostructured surfaces and magnetic particle-based analyte capturing enhances sensitivity and efficiency.
  • The device is suitable for rapid, point-of-care diagnostics in breast cancer management.
