The presence of high-risk HPV mRNA in cervical cells is a sensitive and specific biomarker of cervical precancer. Yet, current testing methods are too costly and complex for use in resource-limited settings. Here, we present a novel method for semi-quantitative detection of HPV16 and HPV18 mRNA with minimal infrastructure requirements. The assay relies on isothermal reverse transcription recombinase polymerase amplification (RT-RPA) with real-time fluorescence readout, demonstrated on rugged, portable, and affordable instruments. We demonstrate adapting the assay from DNA detection to RNA detection, characterizing the test with samples of increasing biological complexity, and ultimately establishing a limit of detection of 1000 HPV16 or HPV18 transcripts per reaction with RNA extracted from cell lines. HPV16 and HPV18 mRNA assays were used to test total RNA from 11 patient samples; results for 10 samples (91%) agreed with the gold standard of RT-qPCR. To reduce cost, the assay was demonstrated with multiplexed detection of HPV16 and HPV18 DNA, validated with a reaction volume that was reduced from 50 to 5 µL with DNA and RNA, and performed using a low-cost, portable reader with DNA and RNA.

Quantification is performed with chemometric models that translate Raman spectra into concentration values, which are typically calibrated with process data from multiple comparable fermentations.

Thus, model transferability is poor and labor-intensive (re-)calibration of models is required for related processes. In this work, partial least-squares models for glucose, ethanol, and biomass were calibrated with Saccharomyces cerevisiae batch fermentation data and subsequently transferred to a fed-batch operation. To enhance model transferability without additional process runs, single compound data supplementation was performed. The supplemented models increased overall target analyte specificity and demonstrated sufficient prediction accuracy for the fed-batch process (root-mean-square errors of prediction (RMSEP) of 3.06 mM, 8.65 mM, and 0.99 g/L for glucose, ethanol, and biomass), while maintaining high prediction accuracy for the batch process (RMSEP of 1.71 mM, 4.20 mM, and 0.17 g/L for glucose, ethanol, and biomass).

In this work, we evaluated and optimized extraction protocols testing five different extraction solutions to perform metabolomics and lipidomics studies on the same spot considering three commercially available microsampling devices, Capitainer, Whatman, and Telimmune. Parallelly, we also evaluated the short-term stability of the three devices at room temperature for up to 5 days. Our results showed that pure methanol was the best compromise to simultaneously extract from the same spot both the lipidome and polar metabolome. However, we also propose a two-step protocol combining methanol and water extraction that improves polar metabolite extraction and shows improved reproducibility in Capitainer and Whatman. Short-term stability results highlighted that both polar metabolites and lipids were stable for up to 6 days using the Capitainer device, while with Whatman and Telimmune, some significant variations were observed after 3 days for some classes of metabolites/lipids, suggesting the need for cold-chain storage when working with these devices.</p>","PeriodicalId":462,"journal":{"name":"Analytical and Bioanalytical Chemistry","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.8,"publicationDate":"2025-02-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143187882","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study presents a SERS flow cell incorporating an Ag-based SERS substrate and a Pt counter-electrode, enabling the investigation of how electrochemical methods can address existing challenges.
