This study describes the development of an electrochemical array immunochip for the detection of IgG. Interdigitated immunochip platforms were fabricated by sputtering gold on a glass wafer by using MEMS process and then were coated with Eudragit S100, an enteric polymer, forming an insulating layer over the working area of immunochips. The breakdown of the polymer layer was exemplified by the catalytic action of urease which, in the presence of urea, caused an alkaline pH change. This subsequently caused an increase of the double layer capacitance of the underlying electrode. Used in conjunction with a competitive immunoassay format, this allowed the ratio of initial to final electrode capacitance to be directly linked with the concentration of analyte, i.e. IgG. Responses to IgG could be detected at IgG concentration as low as $250\;ngmL^{-1}$ and showed good linearity up to IgG concentration as high as $20\;{\mu}gmL^{-1}$.

Insulating effects on Au electrode according to the thickness and density of coated materials are well-known. To do electrochemical immunoassay reproducibly the glod electrode would be coated with self-assembled monolayers and antobodies. To get reproducibility, the antobody monolayer should be packed at highest density so that the amount of immobilized antibody at defined area should be the same. The calix[4]crown-5 SAMs could provide the basis for the antibodies to be immobilized reproducibly and at highest density. But the insulating effect would be highest too. We proved that the compactly packed protein monolayers on SAMs inhibited the electron transfer by block the free shuttling of redox molecules. The inhibition was minimized by inserting redox molecules in between the proteins during immobilization process. In this paper, we demonstrated that the calix[4]crown-5 SAMs would provide the protein monolayers with highest density and new method to minimize the insulating effect by inserted redox molecules in between the compactly packed protein monolayers.

This paper presents a simple and reliable one-touch type multi-immunosensing lab-on-a-chip (LOC) detecting antibodies as multi-disease markers using electrochemical method suitable for a portable point-of-care system (POCS). The multi-stacked LOC consists of a PDMS space layer for liquids loading, a PDMS valve layer with 50 im in height for the membrane, a PDMS channel layer for the fluid paths, and a glass layer for multi electrodes. For the disposable immunoassay which needs sequential flow control of sample and buffer liquids according to the designed strategies, reliable and easy-controlled on-chip operation mechanisms without any electric power are necessary. The driving forces of sequential liquids transfer are the capillary attraction force and the pneumatic pressure generated by air bladder push. These passive fluid transport mechanisms are suitable for single-use LOC module. Prior to the application of detection of the antibody as a disease marker, the model experiments were performed with anti-DNP antibody and anti-biotin antibody as target analytes. The flow test results demonstrate that we can control the fluid flow easily by using the capillary stop valve and the PDMS check valves. By the model tests, we confirmed that the proposed LOC is easily applicable to the bioanalytic immunosensors using bioelectrocatalysis.

Amatoxin-induced mushroom poisoning starts with nonspecific symptoms of toxicity but hepatic damage may follow, resulting in the rapid development of liver insufficiency and, ultimately, coma and death. Accurate detection of amatoxins, such as α-, β-, and γ-amanitin, within the first few hours after presentation is necessary to improve the therapeutic outcomes of patients. Therefore, analytical methods for the identification and quantification of α-, β-, and γ-amanitin in biological samples are necessary for clinical and forensic toxicology. This study presents a literature review of the analytical techniques available for amatoxin detection in biological matrices, and established an inventory of liquid chromatography (LC) techniques with mass spectrometry (MS), ultraviolet (UV) detection, and electrochemical detection (ECD). LC-MS methods using quadrupole tandem mass spectrometry, time-of-flight mass spectrometry, and orbitrap MS are powerful analytical techniques for the identification and determination of amatoxins in plasma, urine, serum, and tissue samples, with high sensitivity, specificity, and reproducibility compared to LC with UV and ECD, enzyme-linked immunoassay, and capillary electrophoresis methods.

This paper describes the novel immunoassay sensing system for a portable clinical diagnosis system. It consists of a bead cage reactor and a CMOS integrated biosensor. It showed the simple and easy antibody coating method on beads by flow-through avidin biotin complex technology in a microfluidic device. It showed just 90 nL sample consumption and good result for the application of alpha feto protein. The bead cage reactor has the role of the antibody coating, antigen binding and enzyme linking for the electrochemical sensing method. The CMOS biosensor consists of ISFET (ion selective field effect transistor) biosensor and temperature sensor for detecting pH that is the byproduct of enzyme reaction. The sensitivity is 8 $kHz/^{\circ}C$ in a temperature sensor and 33 mV/pH in a pH sensor. After filling the 15 um polystyrene beads in bead cage, antibody flowed and reacted to beads. Subsequently, the biotinylated antigen flowed and bound to the antibody and GOD (glucose oxidase)-avidin conjugate flowed and reacted to the biotin of the biotinylated antigen. After this reaction process, glucose solution flowed and reacted to the GOD on beads. The hydrogen was generated by glucose-GOD reaction. And it was detected by the pH sensor.

한국인의 암 사망률 1위를 차지하는 폐암은 발견되기 전까지 별다른 증상이 없어 환자는 병을 쉽게 인지하지 못하고, 기존의 진단법 또한 초기단계에는 적용이 어렵다. 해결책으로서, 분자수준에서의 체액분석을 폐암진단에 도입하는 방안이 제시되고 있다. 이를 위한 분석기기 가운데 대표적으로는 칩 기반 바이오센서가 있으며, 이 센서의 큰 장점으로는 고가의 분석장비나 숙련된 분석인력이 없이도 현장에서의 진단이 가능하다는 점이다. 본 미니총설에서는 폐암 진단에 활용가능한 혈액 내 바이오마커와 바이오칩 센서의 연구현황을 소개하고 이들의 발전가능성에 대해 논의하고자 한다.
