To address these challenges, we investigated whether Ultra-High-Frequency (UHF) electromagnetic wave sensing could serve as an alternative method for evaluating TMB. We analyzed the dielectrophoresis crossover frequency spectrum and corresponding electromagnetic signature (EMS) of cancer cells using a lab-on-a-chip biosensor that integrates microfluidics with dielectrophoresis-based electro-manipulation. Across seven solid tumor cell lines exhibiting diverse TMB levels, EMS exhibited an upward shift correlated with higher TMB, suggesting a relationship between mutational load and electromagnetic behavior. To further explore this connection, we artificially increased the somatic variant burden by exposing cells to the mutagen N-ethyl-N-nitrosourea (ENU). EMS measurements reliably detected the induced increase in variant load in ENU-treated cells. Overall, these findings demonstrate that EMS can detect both intrinsic TMB differences and experimentally induced increases in mutational burden, enabling refined categorization of cancer cells.

In this study, a biosensor based on nucleic acid aptamers was developed, utilizing plasma-modified graphene oxide (mGO) as a fluorescence quencher for FB1 detection. This system leverages the interaction between mGO and FAM-APT (a nucleic acid aptamer labeled with 5-carboxyfluorescein, FAM), achieving fluorescence quenching through fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) under excitation at 490 nm and emission at 520 nm. In the presence of FB1, FAM-APT specifically binds to FB1 and dissociates from the mGO surface, resulting in fluorescence recovery. Quantitative detection of FB1 was achieved by measuring the differential fluorescence intensity.
