A magnetic bead array-based fluorescence immunoassay platform for robust cancer biomarker analysis in clinical blood samples
The reliable conjugation of antibodies to a solid matrix is crucial for robust immunoassays in microfluidic devices. Various magnetic particles (MPs) have been employed due to their high surface-to-volume ratios and ease of magnetic manipulation, providing a reliable surface for antibody immobilization. However, achieving uniform positioning of MPs across the channel surface has been challenging due to inadequate magnetic forces or magnetic field uniformity. Here, we present the utilization of Halbach magnetic arrays to enable consistent deployment of MPs on the microfluidic surface, thereby facilitating robust immunoassay capabilities. Using finite element method magnetics (FEMM) simulations, we predicted that incorporating Halbach magnetic arrays beneath the microfluidic channels would create more uniform and augmented magnetic flux density gradients over the surface. Subsequently, we applied this platform to assess cancer biomarkers in patients’ blood plasma and achieved statistically reliable results, comparable to those obtained using an FDA-approved device. We detected three cancer biomarkers, including prostate-specific antigen (PSA), alpha-fetoprotein (AFP), and carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA). The limit of detection (LOD) of three biomarkers were < 1 ng/mL, ranging from 0.38–0.95 ng mL−1. This platform provided within-run, between-run, and between-day precisions for the three cancer biomarkers, ranging from 0.37–9.87%. This advancement holds significant promise for improving the accuracy and performance of immunoassays in various microfluidic diagnostic applications.
期刊介绍:
Microfluidics and Nanofluidics is an international peer-reviewed journal that aims to publish papers in all aspects of microfluidics, nanofluidics and lab-on-a-chip science and technology. The objectives of the journal are to (1) provide an overview of the current state of the research and development in microfluidics, nanofluidics and lab-on-a-chip devices, (2) improve the fundamental understanding of microfluidic and nanofluidic phenomena, and (3) discuss applications of microfluidics, nanofluidics and lab-on-a-chip devices. Topics covered in this journal include:
1.000 Fundamental principles of micro- and nanoscale phenomena like,
flow, mass transport and reactions
3.000 Theoretical models and numerical simulation with experimental and/or analytical proof
4.000 Novel measurement & characterization technologies
5.000 Devices (actuators and sensors)
6.000 New unit-operations for dedicated microfluidic platforms
7.000 Lab-on-a-Chip applications
8.000 Microfabrication technologies and materials
Please note, Microfluidics and Nanofluidics does not publish manuscripts studying pure microscale heat transfer since there are many journals that cover this field of research (Journal of Heat Transfer, Journal of Heat and Mass Transfer, Journal of Heat and Fluid Flow, etc.).
