Biomarker-Mediated Disruption of Coffee-Ring Formation as a Low Resource Diagnostic Indicator

Abstract: The ring pattern resulting from the unique microfluidics in an evaporating coffee drop is a well-studied mass transport phenomenon generating interest in the research community mostly from a mechanistic perspective. In this report, we describe how biomarker-induced particle-particle assemblies, magnetic separation, and evaporation-driven ring formation can be combined for simple pathogen detection. In this assay design, the presence of biomarkers causes self-assembly of a magnetic nanoparticle and a fluorescen… Show more

“…The coffee-ring effect has been used as low-resource diagnostics for detection of the malarial biomarker Plasmodium falciparum [270] and also as a biomarker elsewhere [138,[271][272][273]. Blood drop patterns are used extensively for diagnostic purposes [20].…”

“…The higher rate of evaporation along the contact line produces these flow patterns (or capillary flow), also known as primary radial flow 17 . The coffee-ring effect has been exploited to perform immunoassays and to separate particles by size 12,[18][19][20] .…”

“…This process is shaped by the physics of drying, for which better control than is currently possible is desired 2 . Additionally, proteins dried on a surface leave a pattern distinctive of that protein, opening up the possibility of simple, low-cost detection of protein or other disease markers in blood or saliva 4,14 . More than 300 years ago, the Dutch microscopist Antonie van Leeuwenhoek discovered a world of microorganisms when he peered through a microscope into a tiny liquid droplet.…”
