Cover Feature: Sustainability-Driven Accelerated Shear-Mediated Immunoassay for Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis Detection (ChemSusChem 21/2024)

Abstract

The Cover Feature shows plasticware for biomarker measurement, which constitutes a notable portion of the plastic waste stream from medical consumables. We have developed a portable vortex fluidic device (P-VFD) with a membrane array to initiate fast reaction, detection and analysis of a clinically relevant protein biomarker, p75ECD. It shows significant potential to replace traditional assay plates with a membrane, providing a greener and more sustainable alternative in biofluid biomarker measurement.
