Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As personalized medicine advances, the need continues to grow for new sensors in applications ranging from clinical diagnostics to therapeutic development. Biosensors are powerful tools and their evolution will play an important role in healthcare by enabling the detection of specific analytes that are clinically significant. The central aim of this thesis is to formulate new sensing strategies to detect clinically relevant biomolecules in a sensitive and specific manner. Many target analytes are present at extremely low concentrations while remaining relevant. The utility of a biosensor is limited by its sensitivity; but also, as we investigate herein, its ability to maintain its function in a heterogeneous environment. Here, we develop a novel sensing method for low concentration analysis of soluble signaling factors by coupling DNA hybridization engineering and antibody-capturing chemistry with an electrochemical-based reporting method. This technique - when combined with a chip-based approach - allows for both sensitive and rapid detection. Through the use of nanostructured electrodes, we showcase our technologies in applications that include protein quantification and low-level light detection. We design a device that analyzes multiple small signaling proteins in stem cell cultures with 10 pg·mL-1 sensitivity and validate our results by comparing them to the gold standard enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, with more suitable integration capability and in-line monitoring along with smaller sample sizes and decreased process times. This platform is improved by further developing a reusable, multiplexed one-step assay and sensor, simplifying and speeding up the steps required to obtain readout. Finally, we report on nanogap-separated fractal electrodes as a method for the formation of nanoscale features, exhibited by the fabrication of quantum dot photodetectors with nearly a one hundredfold improvement in performance over that of conventional devices. Overall, these strategies present important steps toward the development of more sensitive and faster sensors. By demonstrating low concentration analysis in complex environments and unprecedented performance with novel methods, we forge a pathway to more cost-effective and powerful sensing.

This book was released on 2020-07-27 with total page 255 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The series Topics in Current Chemistry Collections presents critical reviews from the journal Topics in Current Chemistry organized in topical volumes. The scope of coverage is all areas of chemical science including the interfaces with related disciplines such as biology, medicine and materials science. The goal of each thematic volume is to give the non-specialist reader, whether in academia or industry, a comprehensive insight into an area where new research is emerging which is of interest to a larger scientific audience. Each review within the volume critically surveys one aspect of that topic and places it within the context of the volume as a whole. The most significant developments of the last 5 to 10 years are presented using selected examples to illustrate the principles discussed. The coverage is not intended to be an exhaustive summary of the field or include large quantities of data, but should rather be conceptual, concentrating on the methodological thinking that will allow the non-specialist reader to understand the information presented. Contributions also offer an outlook on potential future developments in the field.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a comprehensive introduction to nanoscale materials for sensor applications, with a focus on connecting the fundamental laws of physics and the chemistry of materials with device design. Nanoscale sensors can be used for a wide variety of applications, including the detection of gases, optical signals, and mechanical strain, and can meet the need to detect and quantify the presence of gaseous pollutants or other dangerous substances in the environment. Gas sensors have found various applications in our daily lives and in industry. Semiconductive oxides, including SnO2, ZnO, Fe2O3, and In2O3, are promising candidates for gas sensor applications. Carbon nanomaterials are becoming increasingly available as “off-the-shelf” components, and this makes nanotechnology more exciting and approachable than ever before. Nano-wire based field- effect transistor biosensors have also received much attention in recent years as a way to achieve ultra-sensitive and label-free sensing of molecules of biological interest. A diverse array of semiconductor-based nanostructures has been synthesized for use as a photoelectrochemical sensor or biosensor in the detection of low concentrations of analytes. A novel acoustic sensor for structural health monitoring (SHM) that utilizes lead zirconate titanate (PZT) nano- active fiber composites (NAFCs) is described as well.
