Recent Progress and Challenges on the Microfluidic Assay of Pathogenic Bacteria Using Biosensor Technology

Abstract

Microfluidic technology is one of the new technologies that has been able to take advantage of the specific properties of micro and nanoliters, and by reducing the costs and duration of tests, it has been widely used in research and treatment in biology and medicine. Different materials are often processed into miniaturized chips containing channels and chambers within the microscale range. This review (containing 117 references) demonstrates the significance and application of nanofluidic biosensing of various pathogenic bacteria. The microfluidic application devices integrated with bioreceptors and advanced nanomaterials, including hyperbranched nano-polymers, carbon-based nanomaterials, hydrogels, and noble metal, was also investigated. In the present review, microfluid methods for the sensitive and selective recognition of photogenic bacteria in various biological matrices are surveyed. Further, the advantages and limitations of recognition methods on the performance and efficiency of microfluidic-based biosensing of photogenic bacteria are critically investigated. Finally, the future perspectives, research opportunities, potential, and prospects on the diagnosis of disease related to pathogenic bacteria based on microfluidic analysis of photogenic bacteria are provided.

Unravelling the potential of magnetic nanoparticles: a comprehensive review of design and applications in analytical chemistry

“…When the strain of interest is Ab, the method is indirect immunoassay, and when the analyte is Ag, the method is Ab-sandwich immunoassay. 124 In the indirect immunoassay method, Ag is added to the solid phase and the sample is added to test for the presence of Ag-specic Abs. Recently, an innovative research study based on the principle of an immunoassay method developed using bioluminescence and microuidics for immunomagnetic separation and rapid detection of bacteria.…”
