Abstract

An optical biosensor using an electrically controlled-release system was developed for the measurement of peroxide concentration. The electrically controlled-release system consisted of a current-supplying system and a polymer complex by hydrogen bonding between the carboxylic and oxazoline group. The polymer complex was formed below pH 5.0 and was degraded above pH 5.4. The local pH change near the surface of the polymer complex could be controlled by applying the electric current to release an enzyme reaction reagent, 4-hydroxyphenylacetic acid (HPA), in the polymer complex. The releasing rate of HPA was proportional to the electric current applied to the polymer complex. The model of the controlled-release system was proposed to predict the degradation velocity of the polymer complex, which is equivalent to the releasing rate of HPA. The released HPA and analyte, peroxide, flowed into the reactor with the immobilized enzyme and then reacted with the enzyme. The peroxide concentration was measured based on the fluorescence detection of enzyme reaction product, 6,6'-dihydroxy (1,1'-biphenyl) 3,3'-diacetic acid (DBDA). The proposed biosensor had the linear analytical range of 0.025 approximately 1.0 mM with a response time of 20 min, good repeatability, and reproducibility.

From host response to genomic targets: electrochemical biosensing of tuberculosis biomarkers.

Tuberculosis (TB) remains one of the leading causes of death from a single infectious agent worldwide, with timely diagnosis continuing to be a major challenge, particularly in resource-limited settings. Conventional TB diagnostic methods are limited by low sensitivity, long turnaround times, and an inability to reliably differentiate latent from active disease. Biomarker-based diagnostic strategies have therefore gained increasing attention as they offer the potential to improve early detection, disease differentiation, and treatment monitoring. Herein, we examine electrochemical biosensing strategies for TB diagnostics using a biomarker-class-driven framework, covering host-response biomarkers (IFN-γ and TNF-α), pathogen-derived antigens (ESAT6, CFP10, CFP10-ESAT6, MPT64, Ag85, HspX and LpqH), cell-wall signatures and whole-cell markers (LAM and whole cell Mtb), and genomic markers (Mtb DNA and IS6110). Through structured comparison of recognition elements, biointerface designs, signal amplification strategies, electrochemical techniques, matrices, and validation levels, this review identifies the most promising technical approaches for different TB biomarker classes. It further highlights key translational bottlenecks, including limited clinical validation, buffer-based testing, complex multistep amplification, redox-probe dependence, matrix fouling, and insufficient evidence of manufacturability. This review therefore provides practical guidance for developing electrochemical TB biosensors that are analytically sensitive, clinically relevant, and suitable for decentralized diagnostic applications.

Metal-organic frameworks nanozyme-integrated portable microneedle patch for visual bacterial monitoring in meat.

Foodborne microbial contamination is a major global health concern, with conventional methods often being time-consuming and complex. Herein, we developed a novel portable biosensor by integrating microneedle patch technology and a metal-organic framework (Fe/Cu-NBDC MOF) nanozyme, enabling rapid, on-site, visual detection of bacteria in meat. The sensing system works by encapsulating aptamer-functionalized MOF nanozymes within a hydrogel patch, where their catalytic sites are initially blocked by the aptamer. In the presence of Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) as the target, the specific aptamer's binding to bacteria exposes numerous catalytic sites, further activating the chromogenic reaction of the tetramethylbenzidine‑hydrogen peroxide (TMB-H₂O₂) system, enabling visual detection of S. aureus. The biosensor demonstrates a detection limit of 82 CFU/mL with excellent specificity to successfully apply to commercial mutton. By integrating sampling, enrichment, and visual detection into a single compact device, this platform offers a practical, efficient solution for rapid on-site screening of foodborne pathogens.

A comparison between different immobilised glucoseoxidase-based electrodes.

Biosensors obtained by immobilising glucose oxidase 'unentrapped' and 'entrapped in liposomes', both with a classical H2O2 amperometric electrode and with screen-printed electrochemical sensor, were compared. Electrode response, linearity range and the influence of some parameters as phospholipid nature, temperature and measurement techniques were investigated. Experimental results showed that, while with the unentrapped enzyme the output current is linear only up to about 4 mM glucose concentration, the linearity range increases up to about 20 mM using enzyme-loaded liposomes; however the low permeability of the lipid bilayer decreases the electrode sensitivity to very low values (200 nA/M for palmitoylolelyl phosphatidylcholine liposomes). The approach with screen-printed sensors showed a better performance and gave biosensors with higher sensitivity (about 14500 nA/mM). A mathematical model, useful to compare the behaviour of the different analytical systems and to design electrodes with the required properties, was also proposed.
