Strategy To Enhance the Wettability of Bioacive Paper-Based Sensors

Abstract: This paper reports a potential method that can restore the wettability of bioactive paper-based sensors while maintaining their bioactivity. This study is driven by the need to increase the wettability of the antibody-loaded blood typing paper devices in order to increase the blood typing assaying speed using such paper devices. Plasma treatment is used to improve the wettability of bioactive paper; the protective effect of bovine serum albumin (BSA) to biomolecules against plasma deactivation is investigated.… Show more

“…For hydrophobic surfaces the erythrocyte suspension remained above the paper surface decreasing the surface area between the blood sample and the antibody solution. Treatment of the hydrophobized antibody paper to increase wettability could aid blood sample penetration (Tian et al, 2012 ). Furthermore, the washing step is hindered with liquid unable to flow through the paper, also affecting negatives.…”

“…The initial decrease is likely due to the initial hydration of the substrate with Nile blue A that is insoluble in PBS medium. The wettability of the paper-based sensors has been shown to have a strong correlation to response time (Tian et al 2012).…”
