Efficient AC electrothermal flow (ACET) on-chip for enhanced immunoassays

Martinus Gijs, Diego Gabriel Dupouy, Muaz Salama Abdelmonem Draz

Biochemical reaction rates in microfluidic systems are known to be limited by the diffusional transport of reagents, leading often to lowered sensitivity and/or longer detection times in immunoassays. Several methods, including electrically powering electr ...

How specific are the conformation-specific α-synuclein antibodies? Characterization and validation of 16 α-synuclein conformation-specific antibodies using well-characterized preparations of α-synuclein monomers, fibrils and oligomers with distinct structures and morphology

Hilal Lashuel, Somanath Jagannath

Increasing evidence suggests that alpha-synuclein (α-syn) oligomers are obligate intermediates in the pathway involved in α-syn fibrillization and Lewy body (LB) formation, and may also accumulate within LBs in Parkinson's disease (PD) and other synucleino ...

Memristive Biosensors based on Full-size Antibodies and Antibody Fragments

Giovanni De Micheli, Sandro Carrara, Ioulia Tzouvadaki, Sébastien Naus

For the first time memristive biosensors developed by the incorporation of scAbs (single-chain antibody fragments) enabling label-free detection of free Prostate Specific Antigen (fPSA) for early-stage detection of prostate cancer (PC) are reported. In add ...

Bioluminescent Antibodies for Point-of-Care Diagnostics

Kai Johnsson, Rudolf Griss, Alberto Schena, Qiuliyang Yu, Lin Xue

We introduce a general method to transform antibodies into ratiometric, bioluminescent sensor proteins for the no-wash quantification of analytes. Our approach is based on the genetic fusion of antibody fragments to NanoLuc luciferase and SNAP-tag, the lat ...

Controlled synthesis of fluorescent silica nanoparticles inside microfluidic droplets

Martinus Gijs, Virendra Kumar Parashar, Josias Basil Wacker, Ioannis Lignos

We study the droplet-based synthesis of fluorescent silica nanoparticles (50–350 nm size) in a microfluidic chip. Fluorescein-isothiocyanate (FITC) dye is first chemically linked to aminopropyl triethoxysilane (APTES) in ethanol and this reaction product i ...
