2D simulation of a microfluidic biosensor for CRP detection into a rotating micro-channel

Abstract

Previously, pumping systems using centrifugal force has been regarded as an attractive control method for fluid flow interior microchannel. In this work, we propose a novel design of a biosensor for complex reactive protein detection in two-dimensional rotating microchannel using the finite element method. We have first developed the physical modeling of the centrifugal force driven, and detailed velocity profile and expended the pressure distribution. Several crucial factors that influence the equilibrium binding time are discussed, including the bulk analyte concentration and the biosensor length. The obtained analytical results reveal that the binding reaction is largely enhanced with the increase of the angular velocity. Hence, an appropriate choice of the angular velocity may enhance the microfluidic biosensor performance and reduce considerably the time response. This work can open new opportunity for further investigation in microflow injection experimental studies.

Unleashing the potential of tungsten disulfide: Current trends in biosensing and nanomedicine applications

“…For decades, electrochemical biosensors-based screen-printed electrodes and semiconductors compounds were massively studied and implicated for numerous applications in multiple fields [ [131] , [132] , [133] , [134] , [135] , [136] ]. TMDCs incorporation into the electrochemical sensing interface has led to the development of novel biosensors with more favorable and enhanced performances [ 137 ].…”

Electrospun Polymeric Nanofibers: Current Trends in Synthesis, Surface Modification, and Biomedical Applications

“…Bahri et al designed a novel biosensor for CRP detection using a 2dimensional rotating microchannel. 130 As shown in Figure 15, biosensors comprise three primary components: a biorecognition element that detects the analytes, a transducer that converts the biological response into a measurable signal, and a signal capture mechanism that measures signals resulting from biological interactions. Nanomaterials have gained significant interest in recent years for their ability to transform electrode surfaces into suitable matrices for immobilization.…”

DNA-Coupled AuNPs@CuMOF for Sensitive Electrochemical Detection of Carcinoembryonic Antigen

“…To date, electrochemical immunoassay has attracted tremendous attention as a promising candidate, considering its high sensitivity, selectivity, portability, and simplicity at cost-effectiveness. − However, the efficiency of such immunosensors strongly depends on how the recognition probes are tethered to the sensing surface. − In other words, the control of capture probe orientation and density streamlines its binding activity with the targets, affecting the stability and sensitivity of the biosensors. Addressing this controversy, three-dimensional tetrahedron DNA structured probes (3D TDNA) were introduced as a new type of DNA structure, providing exceptional mechanical robustness and structural stability. − On the other hand, altering the sensing surface using multiple technologies involving nanomaterial functionalization plays a pivotal role in yielding higher biocompatibility and electron conductivity while mitigating surface fouling.…”
