  • Patent number: 11867655
    Abstract: The disclosure relates to textile biosensors and related systems that can be used for in situ health monitoring and disease detection. The biosensors include a flexible or textile substrate, a working electrode embroidered thereon, a reference electrode embroidered thereon, optionally a counter electrode embroidered thereon, and an enzyme probe bound to the working electrode. The biosensors can be integrated directly onto fabrics and garments to provide lightweight, unobtrusive wearable sensing systems that do not compromise wearer mobility, comfort or attention.
    Type: Grant

    Date of Patent: January 9, 2024
    Assignee: BOARD OF TRUSTEES OF MICHIGAN STATE UNIVERSITY
    Inventors: Peter B. Lillehoj, Xiyuan Liu
  • Publication number: 20230384297
    Abstract: A simple immunosensor for rapid and high sensitivity measurements of protein biomarkers, such as SARS-CoV-2 nucleocapsid protein, in serum. The assay is based on a unique sensing scheme utilizing dually labeled magnetic nanobeads for immunomagnetic enrichment and signal amplification. This immunosensor can be integrated onto a microfluidic chip, which offers the advantages of minimal sample and reagent consumption, simplified sample handling, and enhanced detection sensitivity. An ultrafast magneto-immunosensor, which employs AC electrothermally driven flow (ACEF) for accelerated mass transport and enhanced immunocomplex formation, is developed for high sensitivity protein measurement in whole blood samples.
