Ga@MXene-based flexible wearable biosensor for glucose monitoring in sweat.

Project description:Most wearable biosensors struggle to balance flexibility and conductivity in their sensing interfaces. In this study, we propose a wearable sensor featuring a highly stretchable, three-dimensional conductive network structure based on liquid metal. The sensor interface utilizes a patterned Ga@MXene hydrogel system, where gallium (Ga) grafted onto MXene provides enhanced electrical conductivity and malleability. MXene provides excellent conductivity and a three-dimensional layered structure. Additionally, the chitosan (CS) hydrogel, with its superior water absorption and stretchability, allows the electrode to retain sweat and closely stick to the skin. The sensor demonstrates a low limit of detection (0.77 μM), high sensitivity (1.122 μA⋅μM⁻1⋅cm⁻2), and a broad detection range (10-1,000 μM), meeting the requirements for a wide range of applications. Notably, the sensor can also induce perspiration in the wearer. The three-dimensional porous structure of the Ga@MXene/CS biosensor ensures excellent conductivity and flexibility, making it suitable for a variety of applications.

Portable biosensor for monitoring cortisol in low-volume perspired human sweat.

Project description:A non-faradaic label-free cortisol biosensor was demonstrated using MoS2 nanosheets integrated into a nanoporous flexible electrode system. Low volume (1-5 μL) sensing was achieved through use of a novel sensor stack design comprised of vertically aligned metal electrodes confining semi-conductive MoS2 nanosheets. The MoS2 nanosheets were surface functionalized with cortisol antibodies towards developing an affinity biosensor specific to the physiological relevant range of cortisol (8.16 to 141.7 ng/mL) in perspired human sweat. Sensing was achieved by measuring impedance changes associated with cortisol binding along the MoS2 nanosheet interface using electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. The sensor demonstrated a dynamic range from 1-500 ng/mL with a limit of detection of 1 ng/mL. A specificity study was conducted using a metabolite expressed in human sweat, Ethyl Glucuronide. Continuous dosing studies were performed during which the sensor was able to discriminate between four cortisol concentration ranges (0.5, 5, 50, 500 ng/mL) for a 3+ hour duration. Translatability of the sensor was shown with a portable form factor device, demonstrating a comparable dynamic range and limit of detection for the sensor. The device demonstrated a R2 correlation value of 0.998 when comparing measurements to the reported impedance values of the benchtop instrumentation.

Simultaneous Monitoring of Sweat and Interstitial Fluid Using a Single Wearable Biosensor Platform.

Project description:The development of wearable biosensors for continuous noninvasive monitoring of target biomarkers is limited to assays of a single sampled biofluid. An example of simultaneous noninvasive sampling and analysis of two different biofluids using a single wearable epidermal platform is demonstrated here. The concept is successfully realized through sweat stimulation (via transdermal pilocarpine delivery) at an anode, alongside extraction of interstitial fluid (ISF) at a cathode. The system thus allows on-demand, controlled sampling of the two epidermal biofluids at the same time, at two physically separate locations (on the same flexible platform) containing different electrochemical biosensors for monitoring the corresponding biomarkers. Such a dual biofluid sampling and analysis concept is implemented using a cost-effective screen-printing technique with body-compliant temporary tattoo materials and conformal wireless readout circuits to enable real-time measurement of biomarkers in the sampled epidermal biofluids. The performance of the developed wearable device is demonstrated by measuring sweat-alcohol and ISF-glucose in human subjects consuming food and alcoholic drinks. The different compositions of sweat and ISF with good correlations of their chemical constituents to their blood levels make the developed platform extremely attractive for enhancing the power and scope of next-generation noninvasive epidermal biosensing systems.

Air-Bubble-Insensitive Microfluidic Lactate Biosensor for Continuous Monitoring of Lactate in Sweat.

Project description:This study aimed to develop a lactate sensor with a microchannel that overcomes the issue of air bubbles interfering with the measurement of lactate levels in sweat and to evaluate its potential for continuous monitoring of lactate in sweat. To achieve continuous monitoring of lactate, a microchannel was used to supply and drain sweat from the electrodes of the lactate sensor. A lactate sensor was then developed with a microchannel that has an area specifically designed to trap air bubbles and prevent them from contacting the electrode. The sensor was evaluated by a person while exercising to test its effectiveness in monitoring lactate in sweat and its correlation with blood lactate levels. Furthermore, the lactate sensor with a microchannel in this study can be worn on the body for a long time and is expected to be used for the continuous monitoring of lactate in sweat. The developed lactate sensor with a microchannel effectively prevented air bubbles from interfering with the measurement of lactate levels in sweat. The sensor showed a concentration correlation ranging from 1 to 50 mM and demonstrated a correlation between lactate in sweat and blood. Additionally, the lactate sensor with a microchannel in this study can be worn on the body for an extended period and is expected to be useful for the continuous monitoring of lactate in sweat, particularly in the fields of medicine and sports.

Screen-Printed Textile-Based Electrochemical Biosensor for Noninvasive Monitoring of Glucose in Sweat.

Project description:Wearable sweat biosensors for noninvasive monitoring of health parameters have attracted significant attention. Having these biosensors embedded in textile substrates can provide a convenient experience due to their soft and flexible nature that conforms to the skin, creating good contact for long-term use. These biosensors can be easily integrated with everyday clothing by using textile fabrication processes to enhance affordable and scalable manufacturing. Herein, a flexible electrochemical glucose sensor that can be screen-printed onto a textile substrate has been demonstrated. The screen-printed textile-based glucose biosensor achieved a linear response in the range of 20-1000 µM of glucose concentration and high sensitivity (18.41 µA mM-1 cm-2, R2 = 0.996). In addition, the biosensors show high selectivity toward glucose among other interfering analytes and excellent stability over 30 days of storage. The developed textile-based biosensor can serve as a platform for monitoring bio analytes in sweat, and it is expected to impact the next generation of wearable devices.

An Efficient Power Harvesting Mobile Phone-Based Electrochemical Biosensor for Point-of-Care Health Monitoring.

Project description:Cellular phone penetration has grown continually over the past two decades with the number of connected devices rapidly approaching the total world population. Leveraging the worldwide ubiquity and connectivity of these devices, we developed a mobile phone-based electrochemical biosensor platform for point-of-care (POC) diagnostics and wellness tracking. The platform consists of an inexpensive electronic module (< $20) containing a low-power potentiostat that interfaces with and efficiently harvests power from a wide variety of phones through the audio jack. Active impedance matching improves the harvesting efficiency to 79%. Excluding loses from supply rectification and regulation, the module consumes 6.9 mW peak power and can measure < 1 nA bidirectional current. The prototype was shown to operate within the available power budget set by mobile devices and produce data that matches well with that of an expensive laboratory grade instrument. We demonstrate that the platform can be used to track the concentration of secretory leukocyte protease inhibitor (SLPI), a biomarker for monitoring lung infections in cystic fibrosis patients, in its physiological range via an electrochemical sandwich assay on disposable screen-printed electrodes with a 1 nM limit of detection.

Stretchable Sweat-Activated Battery in Skin-Integrated Electronics for Continuous Wireless Sweat Monitoring.

Project description:Wearable electronics have attracted extensive attentions over the past few years for their potential applications in health monitoring based on continuous data collection and real-time wireless transmission, which highlights the importance of portable powering technologies. Batteries are the most used power source for wearable electronics, but unfortunately, they consist of hazardous materials and are bulky, which limit their incorporation into the state-of-art skin-integrated electronics. Sweat-activated biocompatible batteries offer a new powering strategy for skin-like electronics. However, the capacity of the reported sweat-activated batteries (SABs) cannot support real-time data collection and wireless transmission. Focused on this issue, soft, biocompatible, SABs are developed that can be directly integrated on skin with a record high capacity of 42.5 mAh and power density of 7.46 mW cm-2 among the wearable sweat and body fluids activated batteries. The high performance SABs enable powering electronic devices for a long-term duration, for instance, continuously lighting 120 lighting emitting diodes (LEDs) for over 5 h, and also offers the capability of powering Bluetooth wireless operation for real-time recording of physiological signals for over 6 h. Demonstrations of the SABs for powering microfluidic system based sweat sensors are realized in this work, allowing real-time monitoring of pH, glucose, and Na+ in sweat.

A GPCR-based yeast biosensor for biomedical, biotechnological, and point-of-use cannabinoid determination.

Project description:Eukaryotic cells use G-protein coupled receptors to sense diverse signals, ranging from chemical compounds to light. Here, we exploit the remarkable sensing capacity of G-protein coupled receptors to construct yeast-based biosensors for real-life applications. To establish proof-of-concept, we focus on cannabinoids because of their neuromodulatory and immunomodulatory activities. We construct a CB2 receptor-based biosensor, optimize it to achieve high sensitivity and dynamic range, and prove its effectiveness in three applications of increasing difficulty. First, we screen a compound library to discover agonists and antagonists. Second, we analyze 54 plants to discover a new phytocannabinoid, dugesialactone. Finally, we develop a robust portable device, analyze body-fluid samples, and confidently detect designer drugs like JWH-018. These examples demonstrate the potential of yeast-based biosensors to enable diverse applications that can be implemented by non-specialists. Taking advantage of the extensive sensing repertoire of G-protein coupled receptors, this technology can be extended to detect numerous compounds.

CRISPR/Cas-Assisted Colorimetric Biosensor for Point-of-Use Testing for African Swine Fever Virus.

Project description:African swine fever virus (ASFV) causes a highly contagious and fatal disease affecting both domesticated and wild pigs. Substandard therapies and inadequate vaccinations cause severe economic damages from pig culling and removal of infected carcasses. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop a rapid point-of-use approach that assists in avoiding the spread of ASFV and reducing economic loss. In this study, we developed a colorimetric sensing platform based on dual enzymatic amplification that combined the clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR)/CRISPR-associated protein 12a (Cas12a) system and the enzyme urease for accurate and sensitive detection of ASFV. The mechanism of the sensing platform involves a magnetic bead-anchored urease-conjugated single-stranded oligodeoxynucleotide (MB@urODN), which in the presence of ASFV dsDNA is cleaved by activated CRISPR/Cas12a. After magnetically separating the free urease, the presence of virus can be confirmed by measuring the colorimetric change in the solution. The advantage of this method is that it can detect the presence of virus without undergoing a complex target gene duplication process. The established method detected ASFV from three clinical specimens collected from porcine clinical tissue samples. The proposed platform is designed to provide an adequate, simple, robust, highly sensitive and selective analytical technique for rapid zoonotic disease diagnosis while eliminating the need for vast or specialized tools.
