In order to identify carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) in serum samples, an innovative smartphone-based, label-free electrochemical immunosensor was created without the need for additional labels or markers. This technology presents a viable method for on-site cancer diagnostics. The novel smartphone-integrated, label-free immunosensing platform was constructed by nanostructured materials that utilize the layer-by-layer (LBL) assembly technique, allowing for meticulous control over the interface.

Zhejiang University-University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign Institute, Zhejiang University, Haining 314400, China.

Smartphones equipped with highly integrated sensors are increasingly being recognized as powerful tools for rapid on-site testing. Here, we propose a low-cost, portable, and highly multiplexed smartphone-based spectrometer capable of collecting three types of spectra-transmission, reflection, and fluorescence-by simply replacing the optical fiber attached to the housing. Spectral analysis is performed directly on the smartphone using a custom-developed app.
