Abstract
The increase in the demand and popularity of smart biosensors has brought a novel and innovative concept to develop a diverse range of semen mutual biomarker (i.e., prostate-specific antigen, PSA)-based biodevices for our daily life applications. Using a versatile strategy, here we have developed a next-generation miniaturized capacitive biomarker-based sensor, which facilitates a direct, rapid quantitation and ultrafast detection of prostate-specific antigen (PSA) selectively. To fabricate an affordable PSA biosensor, an interdigitated capacitor (IDC) was functionalized and to detect PSA at concentrations varying from 0.1 to 10 μL/mL, with a response time of 3 s. Moreover, the PSA biosensor showed a high level of selectivity due to the successful probing of the capacitive response-generated biomolecular interactions using external stimuli at the bioelectrode. The resulting IDC-based PSA biosensors are capable of excellent reproducibility and reusability, which are required for real-time biosensing of any targeted biomolecules where low-concentration detection is a key for point-of-care, on-site sensing applications. We anticipate that this research could open exciting opportunities for PSA detection at a low concentration level.
