As a continuation of the evaluation of the utility of high-field asymmetric waveform ion mobility spectrometry (FAIMS) in quantitative bioanalysis, we have developed a sensitive and selective method for the quantification of a peptide drug candidate in rat plasma using FAIMS coupled with liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS). The LC-FAIMS-MS/MS method provided significant advantage over the corresponding LC-MS/MS method by reducing chemical/endogenous background noise associated with plasma matrix, thereby improving the sensitivity via increasing the signal-to-noise ratio. Linearity was established within 1-1000 nM in rat plasma, and the overall method accuracy and precision were good meeting the generally adopted acceptance criteria for a bioanalytical method. In a related investigation, we demonstrated the global selectivity of FAIMS from plasma endogenous components as a function of the compensation voltage (CV) across molecular masses that encompass small-molecule drugs. This work demonstrates that FAIMS coupled with LC-MS/MS can be highly advantageous in quantitative bioanalysis.

The diversity and heterogeneity of biomarkers has made the development of general methods for single-step quantification of analytes difficult. For individual biomarkers, electrochemical methods that detect a conformational change in an affinity binder upon analyte binding have shown promise. However, because the conformational change must operate within a nanometer-scale working distance, an entirely new sensor, with a unique conformational change, must be developed for each analyte.

Wearable and implantable biosensors have rapidly entered the fields of health and biomedicine to diagnose diseases and physiological monitoring. The use of wired medical devices causes surgical complications, which can occur when wires break, become infected, generate electrical noise, and are incompatible with implantable applications. In contrast, wireless power transfer is ideal for biosensing applications since it does not necessitate direct connections between measurement tools and sensing systems, enabling remote use of the biosensors.

Background: The multifunctional cytokine interleukin-6 (IL-6) plays a pivotal role in chronic and acute inflammatory responses, underscoring the importance of accurately determining IL-6 levels for early diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of inflammation.
Results: This study developed a versatile and innovative single-particle surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) sensing platform for the precise and sensitive quantification of IL-6 in complex samples using a novel one-pot synthesized, silver ions-doped three-dimensional porous gold microparticles (PGMs) with abundant hot spots for robust SERS enhancement. By rationally designing rich cytosine-Ag-cytosine base pairs between IL-6 aptamers and complementary chains on the PGMs, we harnessed the SERS-enhancing effect to achieve highly sensitive and specific IL-6 quantification within a wide range of 10 to 10 mg/mL and a limit of detection (LOD) of 0.

Background: Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic autoimmune disease that causes joint damage and progressive destruction of adjacent cartilage and bones. Quick and accurate detection of rheumatoid factors (RF) and anti-cyclic citrullinated peptide antibodies (anti-CCP) in serum is effective in diagnosing RA and preventing its progression. However, current methods for detecting these two biomarkers are costly, time-consuming, labor-intensive, and require specialized equipment.
