AB(1-40), a potential biomarker found in cerebrospinal fluid, blood, and its derivatives, is utilized as an alternative for an early diagnosis of Alzheimer’s. This work presents an early detection of AD with the help of label-free electrochemical transduction mechanisms using AB(1-40) as a biomarker. To increase the diversity of decision-making parameters that inherently improve the disease’s diagnostic accuracy, the detection was carried out with the help of DPV and EIS analysis. The sensing platform utilized electrospun tin-oxide (SnO2) nanofibers modified carbon electrodes as a transducing element comprising covalently immobilized AB(1-40) antibodies on which the target AB(1-40) binds specifically. The sensing platform detected the target analyte concentrations prepared in real-time human blood plasma in the linear detection range of 1 fg/mL – 10 ng/mL and 1 fg/mL – 100 pg/mL obtained from DPV and EIS, respectively. It also accounted for an extremely low detection limit of 0.785 and 0.573 fg/mL and a very high sensitivity of 4.095 (μA/(ng/mL))/cm2 and 285.94 (kΩ/(ng/mL))/cm2 obtained from DPV and EIS, respectively. Further, the proposed sensing platform showed excellent selectivity, repeatability, reproducibility and high interference resistance.","PeriodicalId":518961,"journal":{"name":"2024 IEEE Applied Sensing Conference (APSCON)","volume":"258 11","pages":"1-4"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140531022","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Structural modification of this device into an optimized membrane-based sensor platform and the integration of highly sensitive transduction materials to the NMC sensors can lead to appreciable enhancement in the performance of the sensor, thereby creating an ultra-sensitive nanomechanical sensor platform. This paper reports the development of a MEMS Thermo-Nanomechanical Membrane Flexure (T-NMF) sensor for meeting the demand for a highly sensitive, miniaturized, realtime temperature sensor, based on the principle of deflection of the bimorph membrane with change in temperature, due to the difference in thermal coefficients of expansion of different layers of materials present on the membrane. Four inverse trapezoidal flexures are used to suspend the circular membrane of the T-NMF sensor. The two layers of the membrane are selected to be silicon and aluminum. A thin film of Indium Tin Oxide (ITO), which has a high gauge factor, is deposited as a piezoresistor on each of the flexures, for electromechanical transduction. The design and simulation of the T-NMF sensor is carried out using COMSOL Multiphysics 6.0 software, after optimizing the beam geometry. This optimized design showed an improved thermal sensitivity of around 2 times higher than that of the conventional cantilever bimorph sensor of comparable dimensions.","PeriodicalId":518961,"journal":{"name":"2024 IEEE Applied Sensing Conference (APSCON)","volume":"114 2","pages":"1-4"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140531032","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The intricate relationship between temporal resolution, environmental conditions, and sensor repeatability is investigated. Through Studies 1 to 4, the impact of feature differences and explicit values on repeatability under varying temporal resolutions is assessed. A temporal resolution of 700 seconds is seen at the threshold R2 score of 0.80 when using changes in temperature and humidity as features, compared to 300 seconds when using explicit values of temperature and humidity as features. Furthermore, using time difference as an extra feature allows for prediction with varying temporal resolution, resulting in R2 score of up to 0.9933. The findings enhance the understanding of the sensor’s behavior in dynamic settings, contributing to its practical applicability and performance optimization.","PeriodicalId":518961,"journal":{"name":"2024 IEEE Applied Sensing Conference (APSCON)","volume":"84 3","pages":"1-4"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140531042","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
