A field-effect transistor-based cortisol sensor was demonstrated in physiological conditions. An antibody-embedded polymer on the remote gate was proposed to overcome the Debye length issue (λ). The sensing membrane was made by linking poly(styrene- co-methacrylic acid) (PSMA) with anticortisol before coating the modified polymer on the remote gate. The embedded receptor in the polymer showed sensitivity from 10 fg/mL to 10 ng/mL for cortisol and a limit of detection (LOD) of 1 pg/mL in 1× PBS where λ is 0.2 nm. A LOD of 1 ng/mL was shown in lightly buffered artificial sweat. Finally, a sandwich ELISA confirmed the antibody binding activity of antibody-embedded PSMA.

H5N1 avian influenza has caused serious economic losses as well as posed significant threats to public health, agriculture and wildlife. It is important to develop a rapid, sensitive and specific detection platform suitable for disease surveillance and control. In this study, a highly sensitive, specific and rapid biosensor based on polydiacetylene was developed for detecting H5 influenza virus.

A capacitive immunoassay based on antibody-embedded ultrathin gamma-alumina sol-gel films (approximately 20 to 40 nm) was successfully prepared in this work. The nanofilms greatly increased the capacitance change initiated by the recognition between the immobilized antibody and the target antigen, which allowed capacitive measurements capable of directly determining the antigen more sensitive than that of thick films. Meanwhile, the inorganic films with high permittivity significantly increased the time constant (i.
