The time consuming and costly conventional diagnostics methods substantiate the need to develop a cost-effective rapid infectious disease detection platform to address the persistently threatening health issues in developing countries. The recent advancements in nanotechnology and biosensing have manifested the potential to deliver an effective point-of-care diagnostics platform. In this work, the synthesis and fabrication of an ultrasensitive Copper doped Zinc oxide nanofiber based biosensing platform is reported. Copper doped Zinc oxide nanofibers are synthesized by simple electrospinning technique with fiber diameter of 100-200<!--> <!-->nm. The structural and morphological characteristics of the nanofibres are studied using X-ray diffraction and field emission scanning electron microscopy. The label free detection of HRP2 protein with the Copper doped Zinc Oxide nanofiber has been investigated by Differential pulse voltammetric technique. Mercaptopropionic acid treatment of Copper doped Zinc oxide nanofiber generates carboxylic acid groups, which facilitate the covalent conjugation of Anti-HRP2. To the best of our knowledge, the fabricated immunosensor displays better sensitivity than the best malaria sensor reported in the literature based on different nanomaterials and different detection mechanism. The proposed platform exhibits very low limit of detection of 10 attogram per ml for the targeted HRP2 protein in a wide detection test range (ag/ml -μg/ml). The novel biosensor platform demonstrates good stability and selectivity which can be implemented for point-of-care diagnosis of biomarkers related to other infectious diseases.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":101042,"journal":{"name":"Procedia Technology","volume":"27 ","pages":"Pages 219-220"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1016/j.protcy.2017.04.092","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"77570613","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

New thinking is crucial to finding effective solutions that deliver the high quality of life rightly demanded by our ever ageing population while leveraging technology to deliver this in a cost-effective manner. Several key drivers are catalysing change. Personalised medicine recognises that every individual is different and needs a tailor-made health package; these differences can only be identified with an appropriate suite of diagnostics. Individuals are increasing recognising that data about their bodies should be owned by them and that they should have the choice to use and supplement this information. This generates consumer choice and drives evidence-based payment, where the success of outcomes needs to be measured. Focus on the individual and their needs drives decentralisation and the possible radical restructuring of how we deliver health management. We already see “health rooms” in pharmacies, but the next step will be health rooms in your home, in your pocket or on your wrist. These advances are underpinned by technologies facilitating mobility and data processing, but at the core are rapid, convenient and easy ways to measure our body chemistries at the genomic, proteomic and metabolomic levels. This presentation will focus on meeting these challenges using paper-based electronics, polymers and integrated electrochemical systems to deliver inexpensive instruments for a wide range of bioanalytical applications. Approaches will be illustrated by multi-parametric monitoring for the management of diabetes, chronic kidney disease and stress, reversible and label-free affinity sensors for cancer markers and heart disease, aptasensors for pathogens and cancer cells, and robust microbial-differentiation arrays. Further development will result in cost reduction and a diversity of formats such as point-of-care tests, smart packaging, telemetric strips and print-on-demand analytical devices.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":101042,"journal":{"name":"Procedia Technology","volume":"27 ","pages":"Pages 4-5"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1016/j.protcy.2017.04.003","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"88617436","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
