Microbe-Based Sensor for Long-Term Detection of Urine Glucose.

ABSTRACT: The development of a reusable and low-cost urine glucose sensor can benefit the screening and control of diabetes mellitus. This study focused on the feasibility of employing microbial fuel cells (MFC) as a selective glucose sensor for continuous monitoring of glucose levels in human urine. Using MFC technology, a novel cylinder sensor (CS) was developed. It had a quick response time (100 s), a large detection range (0.3-5 mM), and excellent accuracy. More importantly, the CS could last for up to 5 months. The selectivity of the CS was validated by both synthetic and actual diabetes-negative urine samples. It was found that the CS's selectivity could be significantly enhanced by adjusting the concentration of the culture's organic matter. The CS results were comparable to those of a commercial glucose meter (recovery ranged from 93.6% to 127.9%) when the diabetes-positive urine samples were tested. Due to the multiple advantages of high stability, low cost, and high sensitivity over urine test strips, the CS provides a novel and reliable approach for continuous monitoring of urine glucose, which will benefit diabetes assessment and control.

Sensor-based detection of algal blooms for public health advisories and long-term monitoring.

Project description:Throughout the United States, many eutrophic freshwater bodies experience seasonal blooms of toxic cyanobacteria. These blooms limit recreational uses and pose a threat to both human and ecological health. Traditional bi-weekly chlorophyll-based sampling programs designed to assess overall algal biomass fail to capture important bloom parameters such as bloom timing, duration, and peak intensity. In-situ optical and fluorometric measurements have the potential to fill this gap. However, relating in-situ measurements to relevant water quality measures (e.g. cyanobacterial cell density or chlorophyll concentration) is a challenge that limits the implementation of probe-based monitoring strategies. This study, of Aphanizomenon dominated blooms in Boston's Charles River, combines five years of cyanobacterial cell counts with high resolution insitu sensor measurements to relate turbidity and fluorometric readings to cyanobacterial cell density. Our work compares probe and lab-based estimates of summer-mean chlorophyll concentration and highlights the challenges of working with raw fluorescence in cyanobacteria dominated waterbodies. A strong correlation between turbidity and cyanobacterial cell density (R 2 = 0.84) is used to construct a simple cell-density-estimation-model suitable for triggering rapid bloom-responsesampling and classifying bloom events with a true positive rate of 95%. The approach described in this study is potentially applicable to many cyanobacteria dominated freshwater bodies.

Portable and Intelligent Urine Glucose Analyzer Based on a CdTe QDs@GOx Aerogel Circular Array Sensor.

Project description:Diabetes is a public health problem characterized by hyperglycemia, high mortality, and morbidity. A simple, rapid, and sensitive glucose detection method for diabetes screening and health self-management of patients with diabetes is of great significance. Therefore, an attractive urine glucose (UG) analyzer with advantages of fastness, sensitivity, and portability was developed. A cadmium telluride quantum dots (CdTe QDs)@glucose oxidase (GOx) aerogel circular array sensor can emit visible red fluorescence when excited by a 365 nm ultraviolet light source inside the analyzer. When urine samples containing glucose were dropped onto the sensor, glucose was oxidized by GOx to produce hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), which quenched the red fluorescence of CdTe QDs. The fluorescence images of the sensor were obtained using a CCD camera, and the linear relationship between the glucose concentration and the gray value of the fluorescence image was established. The analyzer shows good sensitivity (LOD, 0.12 mM) with a wide linear range of 0.12-26 mM. Based on the linear relation, the software of the analyzer was written in the C++ language, which can automatically give the gray value of the image and the corresponding glucose concentration. The UG analyzer was used for the detection of a large number clinical samples and compared with a variety of UG test papers, which all showed good detection performance. The novel analyzer we proposed has an important significance in the screening of diabetes and the self-management of diabetic patients.

Naked-Eye Detection of Glucose in Saliva with Bienzymatic Paper-Based Sensor.

Project description:The high incidence of Diabetes Mellitus in low-income regions has promoted the development of low-cost alternatives to replace blood-based procedures. In this work, we present a bienzymatic paper-based sensor suitable for the naked-eye detection of glucose in saliva samples. The sensor was obtained by a stamping procedure and modified with chitosan to improve the colorimetric readout. The bienzymatic reaction of GOx-HRP coupled with 2,4,6-tribromo-3-hydroxy benzoic acid was applied for the detection of glucose within a range from 0 to 180 mgdL-1 in buffer and artificial saliva solutions. The visual readout was perceived by the naked eye and registered with an office scanner to evaluate the analytical performance. The results showed a limit of detection of 0.37 mgdL-1 (S/N = 3) with an R.S.D. of 1.69% and a linear range from 1 to 22.5 mgdL-1 with an R² of 0.99235. The analysis of human saliva samples was performed without pre-processing, achieving recoveries from 92 to 114%. The naked-eye detection was evaluated under two different light settings, showing average recoveries of 108.58 and 90.65% for standard and low illumination. The proposed device showed potential for easy-to-use, sensitive, low-cost, fast, and device-free detection of salivary glucose suitable for untrained personnel operation and limited facilities.

Diboronic-Acid-Based Electrochemical Sensor for Enzyme-Free Selective and Sensitive Glucose Detection.

Project description:A diboronic acid anthracene-based fluorescent system for detecting blood glucose could be used for 180 days. However, there has not yet been a boronic acid immobilized electrode to selectively detect glucose in a signal-increased way. Considering malfunctions of sensors at high sugar levels, the electrochemical signal should be increased proportionally to the glucose concentration. Therefore, we synthesized a new diboronic acid derivative and fabricated the derivative-immobilized electrodes for the selective detection of glucose. We performed cyclic voltammetry and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy with an Fe(CN)63-/4- redox pair for detecting glucose in the range of 0-500 mg/dL. The analysis revealed increased electron-transfer kinetics such as increased peak current and decreased semicircle radius of Nyquist plots as the glucose concentration increased. The cyclic voltammetry and impedance spectroscopy showed that the linear detection range of glucose was 40 to 500 mg/dL with limits of detection of 31.2 mg/dL and 21.5 mg/dL, respectively. We applied the fabricated electrode to detect glucose in artificial sweat and obtained 90% of the performance of the electrodes in PBS. Cyclic voltammetry measurements of other sugars such as galactose, fructose, and mannitol also showed linear increased peak currents proportional to the concentrations of the tested sugars. However, the slopes of the sugars were lower than that of glucose, indicating selectivity for glucose. These results proved the newly synthesized diboronic acid is a promising synthetic receptor for developing a long-term usable electrochemical sensor system.

Long-Term Stability of a Cellulose-Based Glucose Oxidase Membrane.

Project description:A cellulose-based glucose oxidase membrane was prepared on a glassy carbon (GC) electrode. The current response of the electrode to glucose was measured by applying a potential of 1.0 V vs. Ag/AgCl on the base GC and was proportional to the concentration of glucose up to 1 mM. The long-term stability of the electrode was examined by measuring the daily glucose response. Over four months, the response magnitude was maintained and then gradually decreased. After 11 months, though the response magnitude decreased to 50% of the initial value, the linear response range did not change. Therefore, the electrode could be used as a glucose biosensor even after 11 months of use. The entrapment of the enzyme in the cellulose matrix promoted the stability of the enzyme, as revealed by data on the enzyme activity after the enzyme electrode was immersed in urea. Therefore, the cellulose matrix may be used to improve the performance of biosensors, bioreactors and bio-fuel cells.

A Long-Term Stable Sensor Based on Fe@PCN-224 for Rapid and Quantitative Detection of H2O2 in Fishery Products.

Project description:Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) has been reported to be used for the illegal treatment of fishery products in order to obtain "fake" freshness. Residues of H2O2 in food may be of toxicology concern. In this study, a nonenzymatic sensor was developed based on Fe@PCN-224 metal-organic frameworks wrapped by Nafion to detect H2O2 concentration. The hybrid structure of Fe@PCN-224 was fabricated by incorporated free FeIII ions into the center of PCN-224, which was ultra-stable due to the strong interactions between Zr6 and the carboxyl group. Scanning electron spectroscopy images exhibited that Nafion sheets crossed together on the surface of Fe@PCN-224 nanoparticles to form a hierarchical and coherent structure for efficient electron transfer. Electrochemical investigations showed that the Fe@PCN-224/Nafion/GCE possessed good linearity from 2 to 13,000 μM (including four orders of magnitude), low detection limits (0.7 μM), high stability in continuous monitoring (current remained nearly stable over 2300 s) and in long-term measurement (current decreased 3.4% for 30 days). The prepared nanohybrid modified electrode was effectively applied to H2O2 detection in three different fishery products. The results were comparable to those measured using photometrical methods. The developed electrochemical method has a great potential in detecting the illegal management of fishery products with H2O2.

Self-Powered Diaper Sensor with Wireless Transmitter Powered by Paper-Based Biofuel Cell with Urine Glucose as Fuel.

Project description:A self-driven sensor that can detect urine and urine sugar and can be mounted on diapers is desirable to reduce the burden of long-term care. In this study, we created a paper-based glucose biofuel cell that can be mounted on diapers to detect urine sugar. Electrodes for biofuel cells were produced by printing MgO-templated porous carbon on which poly(glycidyl methacrylate) was modified using graft polymerization. A new bioanode was prepared through covalently modifying flavin-adenine-dinucleotide-dependent glucose dehydrogenase and azure A with pendant glycidyl groups of poly(glycidyl methacrylate). We prepared a cathode with covalently bonded bilirubin oxidase. Covalent bonding of enzymes and mediators to both the bioanode and biocathode suppressed elution and improved stability. The biofuel cell could achieve a maximum output density of 0.12 mW cm-2, and by combining it with a wireless transmission device, the concentration of glucose sensed from the transmission frequency was in the range of 0-10 mM. The sensitivity of the sensor was estimated at 0.0030 ± 0.0002 Hz mmol-1 dm3. This device is expected to be a new urine-sugar detection device, composed only of organic materials with a low environmental load and it can be useful for detecting postprandial hyperglycemia.

Glucose Monitoring in Individuals With Diabetes Using a Long-Term Implanted Sensor/Telemetry System and Model.

Project description:The use of a fully implanted first-generation prototype sensor/telemetry system is described for long-term monitoring of subcutaneous tissue glucose in a small cohort of people with diabetes.Sensors are based on a membrane containing immobilized glucose oxidase and catalase coupled to oxygen electrodes and a telemetry system, integrated as an implant. The devices remained implanted for up to 180 days, with signals transmitted every 2 min to external receivers.The data include signal recordings from glucose clamps and spontaneous glucose excursions, matched, respectively, to reference blood glucose and finger-stick values. The sensor signals indicate dynamic tissue glucose, for which there is no independent standard, and a model describing the relationship between blood glucose and the signal is, therefore, included. The values of all model parameters have been estimated, including the permeability of adjacent tissues to glucose, and equated to conventional mass transfer parameters. As a group, the sensor calibration varied randomly at an average rate of -2.6%/week. Statistical correlation indicated strong association between the sensor signals and reference glucose values.Continuous long-term glucose monitoring in individuals with diabetes is feasible with this system.All therapies for diabetes are based on glucose control, and therefore, require glucose monitoring. This fully implanted long-term sensor/telemetry system may facilitate a new era of management of the disease.

Robust, Long-Term, and Exceptionally Sensitive Microneedle-Based Bioimpedance Sensor for Precision Farming.

Project description:Precision farming has the potential to increase global food production capacity whilst minimizing traditional inputs. However, the adoption and impact of precision farming are contingent on the availability of sensors that can discern the state of crops, while not interfering with their growth. Electrical impedance spectroscopy offers an avenue for nondestructive monitoring of crops. To that end, it is reported on the deployment of impedimetric sensors utilizing microneedles (MNs) that can be used to pierce the waxy exterior of plants to obtain sensitive impedance spectra in open-air settings with an average relative noise value of 3.83%. The sensors are fabricated using a novel micromolding and release method that is compatible with UV photocurable and thermosetting polymers. Assessments of the quality of the MNs under scanning electron microscopy show that the replication process is high in fidelity to the original design of the master mold and that it can be used for upward of 20 replication cycles. The sensor's performance is validated against conventional planar sensors for obtaining the impedance values of Arabidopsis thaliana. As a change is detected in impedance due to lighting and hydration, this raises the possibility for their widespread use in precision farming.
