Abstract

Accurately measuring interleukin-6 (IL-6) levels is crucial in both clinical medicine and research due to its role in various physiological and pathological processes. We present proof-of-concept of a novel three-dimensional (3D) spatial amplification method for developing highly sensitive and miniaturized IL-6 biosensors. We designed an IL-6 immunosensor platform utilizing a unique 3D microfluidic structure fabricated with femtosecond-pulsed laser processing. This design features a porous transducer element with over 4500 microcavities, thereby increasing the reaction area by 13-fold compared to traditional 2D designs while maintaining transparency. By combining this 3D structure with a competitive antigen-antibody reaction, the sensor achieved an exceptional limit of detection of 0.27 pg/mL for IL-6 in human blood samples. Additionally, we demonstrated effective control of liquid flow within the porous element using a reduction of pressure and centrifugation speeds. This 3D spatial amplification method offers a promising approach for developing highly sensitive and compact IL-6 biosensors. Such miniaturized sensors hold potential for point-of-care testing devices, enabling convenient and timely IL-6 analysis.

利用三维空间放大技术实现白细胞介素-6 的超灵敏检测

由于白细胞介素-6（IL-6）在各种生理和病理过程中的作用，准确测量其水平在临床医学和研究中都至关重要。我们介绍了一种新型三维（3D）空间放大方法的概念验证，该方法可用于开发高灵敏度和微型化的 IL-6 生物传感器。我们设计了一种 IL-6 免疫传感器平台，利用飞秒脉冲激光加工制造的独特三维微流体结构。这种设计的特点是多孔换能器元件具有 4500 多个微腔，因此与传统的二维设计相比，反应面积增加了 13 倍，同时保持了透明度。通过将这种三维结构与竞争性抗原-抗体反应相结合，该传感器对人体血液样本中 IL-6 的检测限达到了 0.27 pg/mL。此外，我们还通过降低压力和离心速度，证明了多孔元件内液体流动的有效控制。这种三维空间放大方法为开发高灵敏度的小型 IL-6 生物传感器提供了一种可行的方法。这种微型传感器有望用于护理点检测设备，实现方便及时的 IL-6 分析。
