, an intestinal protozoan pathogen, is one of the leading causes of diarrhea in healthy adults and death in children. Detection of oocysts has become a high priority to prevent potential outbreaks. In this paper, a label-free interdigitated-based capacitive biosensor has been introduced for the detection of oocysts in water samples. Specific anti- monoclonal antibodies (IgG3) were covalently immobilized onto interdigitated gold electrodes as the capture probes, and bovine serum albumin was used to avoid non-specific adsorption. The immobilization of the antibodies was confirmed by measuring the change in the contact angle. The detection was achieved by measuring the relative change in the capacitive/dielectric properties due to the formation of -antibody complex. The biosensor has been tested for different concentrations of . The results show that the biosensor developed can accurately distinguish different numbers of captured cells and densities on the surface of the biosensor. The number of oocysts captured on the electrode surface was confirmed using a fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC) immunofluorescence assay. The response from the developed biosensor has been mainly dependent on the concentration of under optimized conditions. The biosensor showed a linear detection range between 15 and 153 cells/mm² and a detection limit of 40 cells/mm². The label-free capacitive biosensor developed has a great potential for detecting in environmental water samples. Furthermore, under optimized conditions, this label-free biosensor can be extended for detection of other biomarkers for biomedical and environmental analyses.

The real-time monitoring of health conditions of humans is a long-lasting topic, but there are two major challenges. First, many biomedical applications accept only implanted sensors. Second, tissue-like soft sensors often suffer from viscoelasticity-induced signal drift, causing inaccurate measurements.

In this paper, it is integrated a piezoelectric energy harvester and a supercapacitor storage device on a flexible substrate with a connection through an innovative alternative current (AC) to direct current (DC) boosting power management system for wearable biosensors' power supply. Flexible substrates can conform to irregular surfaces or shapes, enabling energy harvesting and storage devices to be integrated into a variety of form factors, including curved or bendable surfaces. Having an integrated energy harvester and storage system ensures a reliable and portable power source, providing power autonomy.

Dual-mode capacitive and localized surface plasmon resonance biosensor based on high-density Au nanoislands.

Biosens Bioelectron

June 2025

Department of Materials Science and Engineering, Yonsei University, 50 Yonsei-ro, Seodaemun-gu, 03722, Seoul, South Korea. Electronic address:

A capacitive-localized plasmon surface resonance (LSPR) dual-mode biosensor was developed using gold (Au) nanoislands modified on an Au interdigitated electrode (IDE). Au nanoislands were deposited through repeated thermal dewetting to increase their packing density and enhance sensor sensitivity. The response of the capacitive sensor to antibody-antigen interactions was optimized at 0.

Airborne transmission via aerosols is a dominant route for the transmission of respiratory pathogens, including avian H5N1 influenza A virus and bacteria. Rapid and direct detection of respiratory pathogen aerosols has been a long-standing technical challenge. Herein, we develop a novel label-free capacitive biosensor using an interlocked Prussian blue (PB)/graphene oxide (GO) network on a screen-printed carbon electrode (SPCE) for direct detection of avian H5N1 and .
