Summary
This study introduces a novel electrochemical biosensor for rapid and ultrasensitive nucleic acid detection. The device uses S9.6 antibody-mediated bivalent capture for enhanced performance and point-of-care applications.
Area of Science:
- Biosensing
- Electrochemistry
- Molecular Diagnostics
Background:
- Electrochemical biosensors using hybridization chain reaction (E-HCR) show promise but struggle with simultaneous speed and sensitivity.
- Current E-HCR strategies face limitations in assay completion time and detection limits.
Purpose of the Study:
- To develop a portable, wireless E-HCR biosensor for rapid and ultrasensitive nucleic acid detection.
- To enhance detection efficiency through S9.6 antibody-mediated bivalent capture.
- To achieve a significantly faster assay completion time compared to existing methods.
Main Methods:
- Utilized S9.6 antibody-modified screen-printed carbon electrodes (SPCE) for bivalent capture of DNA/RNA heteroduplexes.
- Integrated preassembled hybridization chain reaction (HCR) with horseradish peroxidase (HRP) amplifiers.
- Employed a one-pot strategy triggering hairpin probe opening and subsequent hybridization.
Main Results:
- Achieved a record-fast assay completion time of 34 minutes.
- Demonstrated a 1.6-fold enhancement over single-site binding and 3.1-fold improvement in capture efficiency via bivalent capture.
- Obtained a high signal-to-noise ratio for ultrasensitive detection through optimized HCR amplification and background suppression.
Conclusions:
- The developed biosensor offers portable, one-pot, rapid, and ultrasensitive nucleic acid detection.
- Bivalent capture significantly improves efficiency and speed in E-HCR biosensing.
- The wireless, low-cost SPCE-based design is suitable for point-of-care diagnostics.
