Alumina nanowell based disposable diagnostic biosensor for detecting and quantifying levels of prostate-specific antigen (PSA) from human serum has been designed, fabricated and tested.
MATERIALS & METHODS: The biosensors were designed by integrating nanoporous alumina membranes onto printed circuit board platforms, resulting in the generation of high-density nanowell arrays with gold base electrodes. The size and density of the nanowells were leveraged toward achieving sieving action for size-based exclusion of nonspecific molecules and size-based confinement of the target PSA molecules.
RESULTS & CONCLUSION: We demonstrated PSA detection between 0.01 and 1000 ng/ml and detection and quantification of PSA from a 17 patient cohort validated using the Beckman Access system with >95% correlation.
设计、制造并测试了一种基于氧化铝纳米孔的一次性诊断生物传感器,用于检测和定量人血清中前列腺特异性抗原(PSA)的水平。
通过将纳米多孔氧化铝膜集成到印刷电路板平台上设计生物传感器,从而产生带有金基电极的高密度纳米孔阵列。利用纳米孔的尺寸和密度实现基于尺寸的筛分作用,以排除非特异性分子,并对目标PSA分子进行基于尺寸的限制。
我们证明了该生物传感器能够检测0.01至1000 ng/ml之间的PSA,并且对来自17名患者队列的PSA进行检测和定量,与使用贝克曼Access系统验证的结果具有>95%的相关性。
