This paper focuses on the current state of art as well as on future trends in electrochemical aptasensors application in medical diagnostics. The origin of aptamers is presented along with the description of the process known as SELEX. This is followed by the description of the broad spectrum of aptamer-based sensors for the electrochemical detection of various diagnostically relevant analytes, including metal cations, abused drugs, neurotransmitters, cancer, cardiac and coagulation biomarkers, circulating tumor cells, and viruses. We described also possible future perspectives of aptasensors development. This concerns (i) the approaches to lowering the detection limit and improvement of the electrochemical aptasensors selectivity by application of the hybrid aptamer-antibody receptor layers and/or nanomaterials; and (ii) electrochemical aptasensors integration with more advanced microfluidic devices as user-friendly medical instruments for medical diagnostic of the future.
本文重点介绍电化学适体传感器在医学诊断中的应用现状和未来趋势。本文首先介绍了适体的起源,以及被称为 SELEX 的过程描述。接着,本文描述了基于适体的各种电化学传感器在检测各种诊断相关分析物方面的广泛应用,包括金属阳离子、滥用药物、神经递质、癌症、心脏和凝血生物标志物、循环肿瘤细胞和病毒。我们还描述了适体传感器发展的可能未来前景。这涉及到:(i) 通过应用混合适体-抗体受体层和/或纳米材料来降低检测限和提高电化学适体传感器的选择性的方法;以及 (ii) 将电化学适体传感器与更先进的微流控设备集成,作为未来用于医疗诊断的用户友好型医疗仪器。
