Area of Science:

  • Biomaterials Science
  • Biosensor Technology
  • Surface Chemistry

Background:

  • Conventional two-dimensional (2D) polyelectrolyte surfaces face limitations in sensitivity and biofouling for biosensing.
  • Developing advanced surface architectures is crucial for improving biosensor performance in complex biological samples.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and characterize a novel three-dimensional thorns-like polyelectrolyte (3D-PETx) surface for enhanced biosensing.
  • To compare the antifouling properties and sensing performance of 3D-PETx with conventional 2D polyelectrolyte (2D-PET) coatings.

Main Methods:

  • Fabrication of 3D-PETx using poly-L-lysine (PLL) with appended oligo (ethylene glycol) (OEG) and biotin moieties.
  • Characterization and performance evaluation using Bio-Sensing (Blitz), Surface Plasmon Resonance (SPR), microfluidic devices, and Enzyme-Linked ImmunoSorbent Assay (ELISA).
  • Testing of biomarker detection (human IgG and PSA) in both buffer and undiluted serum.

Main Results:

  • The 3D-PETx surface demonstrated a significantly increased density of OEG-biotin chains compared to 2D-PET.
  • 3D-PETx exhibited superior antifouling properties, remaining non-fouling even in undiluted serum.
  • Enhanced sensitivity for human IgG and PSA detection was observed with 3D-PETx in both buffer and serum.
  • A low limit of detection (LOD) of 0.6 ng/mL for PSA was achieved in undiluted serum.

Conclusions:

  • The novel 3D-PETx surface offers a promising platform for highly sensitive and specific biosensing.
  • Its exceptional antifouling capabilities make it suitable for detecting biomarkers in undiluted biological fluids.
  • 3D-PETx holds significant potential for advancing real-world clinical diagnostic applications.
