Recently, mass spectrometry (MS) has emerged as an important tool for high-throughput screening (HTS) providing a direct and label-free detection method, complementing traditional fluorescent and colorimetric methodologies. Among the various MS techniques used for HTS, matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometry (MALDI-MS) provides many of the characteristics required for high-throughput analyses, such as low cost, speed, and automation. However, visualization and analysis of the large datasets generated by HTS MALDI-MS can pose significant challenges, especially for multiparametric experiments. The datasets can be generated fast, and the complexity of the experimental data (e.g., screening many different sorbent phases, the sorbent mass, and the load, wash, and elution conditions) makes manual data analysis difficult. To address these challenges, a comprehensive informatics tool called MALDIViz was developed. This tool is an R-Shiny-based web application, accessible independently of the operating system and without the need to install any program locally. It has been designed to facilitate easy analysis and visualization of MALDI-MS datasets, comparison of multiplex experiments, and export of the analysis results to high-quality images.

Liquid biopsies are becoming increasingly important as a potential replacement for existing biopsy procedures which can be invasive, painful and compromised by tumour heterogeneity. This paper reports a simple electrochemical approach tailored towards point-of-care cancer detection and treatment monitoring from biofluids using a label-free detection strategy. The mutations under test were the KRAS G12D and G13D mutations, which are both important in the development and progression of many human cancers and which have a presence that correlates with poor outcomes. These common circulating tumour markers were investigated in clinical samples and amplified by standard and specialist PCR methodologies for subsequent electrochemical detection. Following pre-treatment of the sensor to present a clean surface, DNA probes developed specifically for detection of the KRAS G12D and G13D mutations were immobilized onto low-cost carbon electrodes using diazonium chemistry and 1-ethyl-3-(3-dimethylaminopropyl) carbodiimide hydrochloride/N-hydroxysuccinimide coupling. Following the functionalisation of the sensor, it was possible to sensitively and specifically detect a mutant KRAS G13D PCR product against a background of wild-type KRAS DNA from the representative cancer sample. Our findings give rise to the basis of a simple and very low-cost system for measuring ctDNA biomarkers in patient samples. The current time to result of the system was 3.5 h with considerable scope for optimisation, and it already compares favourably to the UK National Health Service biopsy service where patients can wait weeks for their result. This paper reports the technical developments we made in the production of consistent carbon surfaces for functionalisation, assay performance data for KRAS G13D and detection of PCR amplicons under ambient conditions.

AbstractIon-sensitive field-effect transistors (ISFETs) have gained a lot of attention in recent times as compact, low-cost biosensors with fast response time and label-free detection. Dual gate ISFETs have been shown to enhance detection sensitivity beyond the Nernst limit of 59 mV pH−1 when the back gate dielectric is much thicker than the top dielectric. However, the thicker back-dielectric limits its application for ultrascaled point-of-care devices. In this work, we introduce and demonstrate a pH sensor, with WSe2(top)/MoS2(bottom) heterostructure based double gated ISFET. The proposed device is capable of surpassing the Nernst detection limit and uses thin high-k hafnium oxide as the gate oxide. The 2D atomic layered structure, combined with nanometer-thick top and bottom oxides, offers excellent scalability and linear response with a maximum sensitivity of 362 mV pH−1. We have also used technology computer-aided (TCAD) simulations to elucidate the underlying physics, namely back gate electric field screening through channel and interface charges due to the heterointerface. The proposed mechanism is independent of the dielectric thickness that makes miniaturization of these devices easier. We also demonstrate super-Nernstian behavior with the flipped MoS2(top)/WSe2(bottom) heterostructure ISFET. The results open up a new pathway of 2D heterostructure engineering as an excellent option for enhancing ISFET sensitivity beyond the Nernst limit, for the next-generation of label-free biosensors for single-molecular detection and point-of-care diagnostics.

Two-dimensional silicon allotrodes– also called Sinicene– have recently experienced intensive scientific research interest due to their unique electrical, mechanical, and sensing characteristics. A novel silicene based nano-material has been enticed great amenities, partially because of its uniformity with graphene. Silicene is a highly sensitive for numerous sensors based on molecular sensing as pH sensor, gas sensor, ion sensor and biosensing are Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) nucleobase sensor, photonic sensor, cell-based biosensor, glucose sensor, and bioelectric nose sensor. Nowadays genetic research based on DNA hybridization, which is a vital tools for sensing material and it has various detection methods. Among of them, the detection method is frequency readout used to a label-free detection of DNA hybridization. In this paper we have compared the graphene and silicene quantum capacitance that has been proposed for a DNA hybridization detection method on wireless readout. These method shows, the strands of mismatched and complementary DNA have in different range of frequency to identify output efficiency. With respect to DNA concentration the output of silicene is almost sharply linear than graphene. In addition of field effect transistor, silicene opens a new opportunities due to its band gap whereas graphene indicates zero band gap. It can be stated that silicene is much more reliable as well as much stronger than multi-layered graphene.

A simple and rapid As3+ detection method using 3-nitro-L-tyrosine (N-Tyr) is reported. We discovered the specific property of N-Tyr, which specifically chelates As3+. The reaction between As3+ and N-Tyr induces a prompt color change to vivid yellow, concomitantly increasing the absorbance at 430 nm. The selectivity for As3+ is confirmed by competitive binding experiments with various metal ions (Hg2+, Pb2+, Cd2+, Cr3+, Mg2+, Ni2+, Cu2+, Fe2+, Ca2+, Zn2+, and Mn2+). Also, the N-Tyr binding site, binding affinity, and As3+/N-Tyr reaction stoichiometry are investigated. The specific reaction is utilized to design a sensor that enables the quantitative detection of As3+ in the 0.1–100 μM range with good linearity (R2 = 0.995). Furthermore, the method’s applicability for the analysis of real samples, e.g., tap and river water, is successfully confirmed, with good recoveries (94.32–109.15%) using As3+-spiked real water samples. We believe that our discovering and its application for As3+ analysis can be effectively utilized in environmental analyses such as those conducted in water management facilities, with simplicity, rapidity, and ease.

The chondroitin sulphate proteoglycan 4 (CSPG4), also known as high molecular weight-melanoma associated antigen (HMW-MAA), is a tumor-associated antigen that is expressed in more than 85% of surgically removed melanoma lesions but has restricted distribution in normal tissues. The diagnostic and therapeutic value of CSPG4 drives a need for sensitive and low-cost detection approaches. To this end, we developed a polyaniline/graphene oxide nanocomposite (PANI@GO) that was electrochemically codeposited on indium tin oxide (ITO) electrode. Glutaraldehyde mediated the covalent immobilization of CSPG4 specific antibody mAbD2.8.5 to construct a CSPG4 immunosensor using cell culture media and cell lysate as samples. The fully assembled impedimetric immunosensor was used to detect CSPG4 in CSPG4-positive cell lines M14/CSPG4 and MV3. No impedance signal changes could be observed from CSPG4-negative cell lines M14 and mAbMk2-23 showing the specificity of the CSPG4-impedimetric immunosensor. This low-cost, simple, and label-free analytical method is an alternative to enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay and flow cytometry in screening of CSPG4 in complex biological samples.
