Article Abstract
Polymeric ion selective electrodes are highly sensitive to changes in zero current ion flow and this offers a route to signal amplification in label-free potentiometric immunosensors. In this work, a label-free potentiometric immunosensor toward Salmonella typhimurium (ST) assembled in a home-made pipette-tip electrode is described. The signal-output amplification was implemented on a gold nanoparticle polymer inclusion membrane (AuNPs-PIM) which was used as sensing platform and for antibody immobilization. Additionally, a marker ion was used to detect the antibody-antigen binding event at the electrode surface. The immunosensor construction was performed in several steps: i) gold salt ions extraction in PVC membrane; ii) AuNPs formation using NaEDTA as reduction agent; iii) antibody anti-Salmonella conjugation on AuNPs-PIM in pipette-tip electrodes. The potential shift observed in potentiometric measurements was derived simply from the blocking effect in the ionic flux caused by antigen-antibody conjugation, without no extra steps, mimetizing the ion-channel sensors. A detection limit of 6 cells mL was attained. As proof-of-concept, recovery studies were performed in spiked commercial apple juice samples with success. Due to the simplicity of use, the appealing cost of equipment and sensor production and being able to provide a quick analytical response (less than 1 h for a complete assay, including sample preparation for analysis), this scheme represents a good prototype device for the detection of foodborne pathogens like ST or other immune-responsive bacteria.

Glypican-3 (GPC3) is exclusively overexpressed in most Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) tissue but not in normal liver tissue, making it a promising biomarker for the precise detection of HCC. In this paper, a label-free light-addressable potentiometric sensor (LAPS) decorated by platinumpalladium-hemin-reduced graphene oxide nanocomposites (PtPd@H-rGO NCs) was constructed for determination of GPC3. The GPC3 aptamer (GPC3) and PtPd@H-rGO NCs were modified on the surface of silicon-based LAPS chip to build sensitive unit of LAPS system.

Determination of Varicella vaccine's potency; containing live attenuated strain (Oka) of Varicella Zoster virus, has been limited to in vitro cell culture methods. In this study, a label free potentiometric biosensor has been developed for the first time and optimized to determine the content of varicella zoster virus. A passive ion-flux sensing platform has been developed using an anti-varicella monoclonal antibody and tetrabutyl ammonium bromide as a marker ion.

Nowadays, using a potentiometric ion sensor to achieve detection of biological analytes is still a big challenge, since these analytes usually do not yield a measurable ion signal. To address this challenge, a simple and robust potentiometric sensing protocol based on a delayed Nernstian response is proposed for the label-free detection of biological analytes. The proposed sensor platform is composed of two layers: the surface recognition layer and the indicator-ion-selective electrode (ISE) membrane layer.

Disruption and dysregulation of cellular calcium channel function can lead to diseases such as ischemic stroke, heart failure, and arrhythmias. Corresponding calcium channel drugs typically require preliminary efficacy evaluations using in vitro models such as cells and simulated tissues before clinical testing. However, traditional detection and evaluation methods often encounter challenges in long-term continuous monitoring and lack calcium specificity.

Waterborne pathogens are harmful microorganisms transmitted through water sources. Early and rapid pathogen detection is important for preventing illnesses and implementing stringent water safety measures to minimize the risk of contamination. This work introduces a miniaturized all-solid-state potentiometric ion flux immunosensor for the rapid and label-free detection of waterborne pathogens.
