However, long-term operation is often limited by signal attenuation arising from surface biofouling, aptamer detachment, and redox label degradation. Here, we investigated the origin of signal drift by monitoring changes in the peak current (I_P) of the redox label during prolonged square-wave voltammetry (SWV) operation in PBS, serum, and artificial ISF. To address this drift, we introduced a dual-frequency ratiometric approach based on the ratio between the I_P measured at frequencies showing maximum (F_max) and minimum (F_min) responses. Prolonged SWV measurements in PBS, where biofouling is negligible, showed a gradual decrease in I_P, and cyclic voltammetry measurements obtained before and after SWV operation confirmed a decrease in the MB faradaic current. These results suggest that SWV-induced aptamer detachment and/or MB degradation are major source of intrinsic signal drift. In serum and artificial ISF, this drift was further exacerbated by biofouling, resulting in an approximately 30% decrease in I_P measured at F_max and F_min (IF_max and IF_min) over 48 h. In contrast, the ratiometric signal (I_R = IF_max/IF_min), remained stable because similar signal drift in IF_max and IF_min was effectively compensated. In addition, the ratiometric approach reduced sensor-to-sensor variation, enabling reliable continuous cortisol monitoring with quantified concentrations that closely matched the applied levels, whereas IF_max-based quantification resulted in large deviations. These findings establish dual-frequency ratiometric E-AB MN sensors as a reliable platform for stable and accurate continuous biomarker monitoring in complex biological fluids.</p>","PeriodicalId":259,"journal":{"name":"Biosensors and Bioelectronics","volume":"311 ","pages":"118989"},"PeriodicalIF":11.8,"publicationDate":"2026-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148395387","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

CRISPR-based nucleic acid detection coupled with isothermal amplification (e.g., Recombinase Polymerase Amplification, RPA) shows great promise for field applications. However, most reported designs fail to achieve the single-molecule sensitivity, which significantly limits their practical applications. To bridge the gap, we proposed a rational design strategy for the RPA primer and the CRISPR-Cas13a crRNA, suggesting that sensitivity can be enhanced by simplifying the secondary structure of the crRNA spacer region. Subsequently, we established a portable, one-tube CRISPR-Cas13a bioassay to detect two major waterborne viruses, achieving ultrasensitive detection limits of 5/8 aM for norovirus and 2/3 aM for rotavirus within 40 min. Thereafter, seasonal sampling across different treatment stages of a drinking water treatment plant was conducted, and water samples were analyzed using the one-tube CRISPR-Cas13a bioassay in comparison with qPCR and dPCR, revealing a positive detection rate of 15.79% (6/38) for the one-tube CRISPR-Cas13a bioassay, 18.42% (7/38) for qPCR, and 15.79% (6/38) for dPCR.

To overcome these barriers, two electrochemical systems were developed: one for monitoring 5-HT secretion from cells and another for tracking 5-HT in the mouse brain. By enhancing electrodes with specific nanocomposites to improve sensitivity and selectivity, the cell system successfully analyzed real-time 5-HT secretion dynamics from rat insulinoma cells with performance comparable to standard methods.

PVDF-HFP displayed excellent chemical stability and strong film-forming ability and MXene worked as electroactive materials in the self-supporting electrode substrate. The anode of the self-powered biosensor was prepared with Au NPs-decorated cobalt-nickel layered double hydroxide, which effectively enhanced electron transfer between enzymes and electrode to improve power output. Meanwhile, the cathode was designed based on [Ru(NH₃)₆]³⁺ as efficient electron acceptors. As a result, the glucose oxidation reaction at the anode and the reduction of [Ru(NH₃)₆]³⁺ at the cathode generated a measurable open-circuit voltage (E^OCV), which was real-time recorded through smartphone integration.

Here, we developed Co₃O₄@Bi nanozymes with a Co-O-Bi interfacial structure, which is devoted to the construction of a single-receptor-single-reaction-unit multichannel sensor array. The Co-O-Bi interfaces facilitate electron transfer from Co to O and then to Bi and weaken the oxygen adsorption capacity. Compared to the Co₃O₄ nanozymes with repetitive metal Co-O-Co structural units, the resultant Co₃O₄@Bi nanozymes show a 3.6-fold enhancement in peroxidase-like activity, of which the oxidase-like performance exhibits a decline. As a result, the catalytic activity and selectivity of the Co₃O₄@Bi nanozymes were improved by introducing Co-O-Bi interfacial structures. Taking Co₃O₄@Bi as a single receptor and a typical chromogenic reaction as the single reaction unit, the sensor array was established and displayed three distinct characteristic peaks. Based on the different inhibition effects of various pesticides on the activity of Co₃O₄@Bi nanozyme, the characteristic peaks act as multiple signal channels, enabling the 100% discrimination of five pesticides during the combined use of multiple pesticides.
