Article Synopsis
- Recent advancements in tuberculosis (TB) diagnostics have improved patient survival rates, but challenges with early detection persist due to inefficiency and high costs of existing methods.
- A new portable, user-friendly, and affordable biosensor device has been developed for the early detection of TB, using a label-free surface plasmon resonance (SPR) method to quantify heat shock protein X (HspX) directly in sputum samples.
- This biosensor achieves impressive sensitivity with a limit of detection at 0.63 ng/mL and a limit of quantification at 2.12 ng/mL, demonstrating significant differences in HspX levels between TB-infected patients and non-infected individuals.
