Abstract

This work describes the simulation, design, and fabrication of an inkjet-printed impedance biosensor for uromodulin which is a urine biomarker for kidney disease. The interdigitated electrodes (IDE) were fabricated through inkjet printing of silver ink on polyethylene terephthalate (PET) substrate and subsequently passivated with SU-8 for non-faradaic measurements. We functionalized the passivated IDE with biotin-streptavidin complex and uromodulin antibody to detect uromodulin (6.75 μg/ml-100 μg/ml). The measured impedance due to uromodulin immobilized from artificial urine samples showed a 27.4 % change in impedance magnitude per μg/ml of uromodulin at 150 Hz (log scale). The limit of detection achieved is 25 ng/ml. The sensor demonstrated specificity to uromodulin when measured against albumin, which is another protein biomarker present in the urine. These results highlight the possibility of implementing non-faradaic impedance measurements using a passivated IDE as the sensor element. It also promotes the sensor fabrication method of inkjet printing. The sensor concept shows the implementation potential of IDE as a single-use-sensor for point-of-care applications.

期刊介绍： Sensing and Bio-Sensing Research is an open access journal dedicated to the research, design, development, and application of bio-sensing and sensing technologies. The editors will accept research papers, reviews, field trials, and validation studies that are of significant relevance. These submissions should describe new concepts, enhance understanding of the field, or offer insights into the practical application, manufacturing, and commercialization of bio-sensing and sensing technologies. The journal covers a wide range of topics, including sensing principles and mechanisms, new materials development for transducers and recognition components, fabrication technology, and various types of sensors such as optical, electrochemical, mass-sensitive, gas, biosensors, and more. It also includes environmental, process control, and biomedical applications, signal processing, chemometrics, optoelectronic, mechanical, thermal, and magnetic sensors, as well as interface electronics. Additionally, it covers sensor systems and applications, µTAS (Micro Total Analysis Systems), development of solid-state devices for transducing physical signals, and analytical devices incorporating biological materials.
