Abstract:
Sensitive, accurate, and straightforward biosensors are pivotal in the battle against Alzheimer's disease, particularly in light of the escalating patient population. These biosensors enable early adjunctive diagnosis, thereby facilitating prompt intervention, alleviating socioeconomic burdens, and preserving individual well-being. In this study, we introduce the development of a highly sensitive add-drop dual-microring resonant microfluidic sensing chip boasting a sensitivity of 188.11 nm/RIU, marking a significant 20.7% enhancement over single microring systems. Leveraging ultra-thin Parylene C for streamlined antibody immobilization and non-destructive removal, this platform facilitates the precise quantification of the Alzheimer's disease biomarker Aβ42. Employing an immune sensing strategy that amplifies and captures antigen signals using Au-labeled antibodies, we achieve an exceptional limit of detection of 9.02 pg/mL. The designed microring-based microfluidic biosensor chip exhibits outstanding specificity and sensitivity for Aβ42 in serum samples, offering a promising avenue for the early adjunctive diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease.
