Designing electrochemical microfluidic multiplexed biosensors for on-site applications

Abstract: Clinical assessment based on a single biomarker is in many circumstances not sufficient for adequate diagnosis of a disease or for monitoring its therapy. Multiplexing, the measurement of multiple analytes from one sample and/or of the same target from different samples simultaneously, could enhance the accuracy of the diagnosis of diseases and their therapy success. Thus, there is a great and urgent demand for multiplexed biosensors allowing a low-cost, easy-to-use, and rapid on-site testing. In this work, we present a simple, flexible, and highly scalable strategy for implementing microfluidic multiplexed electrochemical biosensors (BiosensorX). Our technology is able to detect 4, 6, or 8 (different) analytes or samples simultaneously using a sequential design concept: multiple immobilization areas, where the assay components are adsorbed, followed by their individual electrochemical cells, where the amperometric signal readout takes place, within a single microfluidic channel. Here, first we compare vertical and horizontal designs of BiosensorX chips using a model assay. Owing to its easier handling and superior fluidic behavior, the vertical format is chosen as the final multiplexed chip design. Consequently, the feasibility of the BiosensorX for multiplexed on-site testing is successfully demonstrated by measuring meropenem antibiotics via an antibody-free β-lactam assay. The multiplexed biosensor platform introduced can be further extended for the simultaneous detection of other anti-infective agents and/or biomarkers (such as renal or inflammation biomarkers) as well as different (invasive and non-invasive) sample types, which would be a major step towards sepsis management and beyond
