Rapid and accurate detection of respiratory virus aerosols is highlighted for virus surveillance and infection control. Here, we report a wireless immunoassay technology for fast (within 10 min), on-site (wireless and battery-free), and sensitive (limit of detection down to fg/L) detection of virus antigens in aerosols. The wireless immunoassay leverages the immuno-responsive hydrogel-modulated radio frequency resonant sensor to capture and amplify the recognition of virus antigen, and flexible readout network to transduce the immuno bindings into electrical signals. The wireless immunoassay achieves simultaneous detection of respiratory viruses such as severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2, influenza A H1N1 virus, and respiratory syncytial virus for community infection surveillance. Direct detection of unpretreated clinical samples further demonstrates high accuracy for diagnosis of respiratory virus infection. This work provides a sensitive and accurate immunoassay technology for on-site virus detection and disease diagnosis compatible with wearable integration.

Photocurrent-polarity conversion strategies are typically realized by constructing complex photovoltaic electrodes or changing the relevant conditions, but most involve poor photogenerated carrier transfer efficiency and cumbersome experimental steps. To this end, a photoelectrochemical (PEC) biosensor by utilizing ascorbic acid (AA)-induced photocurrent-polarity-switching was proposed for the detection of carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA). Under light excitation, the electron donor AA was oxidized by the photogenerated holes of photoactive material Co-NC/CdS, resulting in the conversion of cathodic photocurrent to the anodic direction.

Amateurs often struggle with detecting and quantifying protein biomarkers in body fluids due to the high expertise required. This study introduces a Lab-in-a-Vial (LV) rapid diagnostic platform, featuring hydrangea-like platinum nanozymes (PtNH), for rapid, accurate detection and quantification of protein biomarkers on-site within 15 min. This method significantly enhances detection sensitivity for various biomarkers in body fluids, surpassing traditional methods such as enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISA) and lateral flow assays (LFA) by ≈250 to 1300 times.

Paper-based lateral flow immunoassays (LFIAs) are cost-effective, portable, and simple methods for detection of diverse analytes, which however only provide qualitative or semiquantitative results and lack sufficient sensitivity. A combination of LFIA and electrochemical detection, namely, electrochemical lateral flow immunoassay (eLFIA), enables quantitative detection of analytes with high sensitivity, but the integration of external electrodes makes the system relatively expensive and unstable. Herein, the working, counter, and reference electrodes were prepared directly on the nitrocellulose membrane using screen printing, which remarkably simplified the structure of eLFIA and decreased the cost.

This study proposes a new efficient wireless biosensor based on magnetoelastic waves for antibody detection in human plasma, aiming at the serological diagnosis of COVID-19. The biosensor underwent functionalization with the N antigen - nucleocapsid phosphoprotein of the SARS-CoV-2 virus. Validation analyses by sodium dodecyl-sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE), Western blotting (WB), atomic force microscopy (AFM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy-dispersive X-ray (EDX) microanalysis and micro-Raman spectroscopy confirmed the selectivity and effective surface functionalization of the biosensor.
