  • Publication number: 20230344437
    Abstract: A sampling assembly and a sampling method are provided. A self-calibration unit controls a first switch to be turned on, to enable a first sampling signal to be input to a sampling unit. The sampling unit processes the first sampling signal to obtain a second sampling signal, and outputs the second sampling signal to the self-calibration unit. The self-calibration unit controls the first switch to be turned off, controls a second switch to be turned on, and outputs a first calibration signal to the sampling unit. The sampling unit processes the first calibration signal to obtain a second calibration signal, and outputs the second calibration signal to the self-calibration unit. The self-calibration unit determines an error signal based on the first calibration signal and the second calibration signal. The self-calibration unit obtains a calibrated third sampling signal based on the second sampling signal and the error signal.

  • Publication number: 20220113268
    Abstract: A low-cost photothermal biosensing method and apparatus for the quantitative genetic detection of pathogens such as MTB DNA on a paper hybrid device using a thermometer. First, DNA capture probes were simply immobilized on paper through a one-step surface modification process. After DNA sandwich hybridization, oligonucleotide-functionalized gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) were introduced on paper and then catalyzed the oxidation reaction of 3,3?,5,5?-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB). The produced oxidized TMB, acting as a strong photothermal agent, was used for the photothermal biosensing of MTB DNA under 808 nm laser irradiation. Under optimal conditions, the on-chip quantitative detection of the target DNA was readily achieved using an inexpensive thermometer as a signal recorder. Illustrative embodiments do not require any expensive analytical instrumentation, but can achieve higher sensitivity and there are no color interference issues, compared to conventional colorimetric methods.
