Biosensors Lecture (14) ReviewBiosensors usually have three parts:• A receptor (recognizes interested molecule)• A transducer (converts the recognition into a signal)• (optional; $) A data processor (ADC - processes the
signal into an interface favorable for presentation to the customer)
Example: Blood glucose biosensor

Quiz Time - Mix, Match and Order
A. Transducer
B. Data Processor
C. Bioreceptor
Something that only interacts with the interested molecule, and does not decay during the interaction.
Converts the signal generated to an user friendly interface.
Recognizes the interaction between the receptor and the analyte, and transforms it into a signal measurable. (e.g. current , heat)

Pathogen Biosensors: Why We Need Them
• Safety detection meat productso Mad Cow Disease
• Have Diary Products gone bad?
• A possible protection against biological warfareo Rampant throughout human history. (e.g. Sino-Japanese
War (WWII), Korean War, Vietnam War, World War I mustard gas, etc .)
o Pathogens are spread throughout enemy territory to decrease their ability to support front-line troops in prolonged conflicts.
o Biosensors can be great at discouraging this as well.

Any Problems?
Reminder: the bio-receptor usually has to react specifically to the interested molecule (analyte), and should not decay.
Specificity!
Solution to problem - A big array of biosensors (60- 80) are used to probe the DNA sequence.

Specific Cases Call for Biosensors
2008 - Milk power with overtly concentrated Melamine
• WHO - "Melamine can be found in milk at low ppb to very low ppm ranges"
• Milk powder was tested up to contain 691 ppm.
• 6-11 toddler deaths due to kidney damage• 1000+ infants hospitalized• 300,000-600,000 victims
Currently biosensors are helping people detect concentrated melamine and prevent these deaths.

"Melamine.. was added to the milk to cause it to appear to have a higher protein content."

• What Happened?[1]▫ Contamination of deli meats▫ Pulled about 220 products ▫ Cost Maple Leaf about $20
million▫ Twenty people died and many
others became ill
Maple Leaf Listeria Contamination (2008)
• Currently, there are no rapid, inexpensive techniques to warn that something could be wrong [2]

Ideal Requirements:
Accuracy False-positive and false-negative results must be low or preferably zero
Assay Time The biosensor should produce a ‘real-time’ response
Sensitivity Failure to detect false-negative results, lowers the sensitivity of the assay
Specificity The biosensor should easily discriminate between the target organism or toxin and other organisms
Reproducible Each assay should be highly reproducible and easy to calibrate
Robust The biosensor must be able to resist changes in pH, ionic strength and be sterilisible
User Friendly The assay should be fully automated and require minimal operator skills for routine detection
Compatible Interface
The biointerface should be compatible with the transduction principle, resist non-specific binding and should be freely accessible in three- dimensional space
Validation The biosensor assay should be evaluated against current standard techniques and a LOD obtained

Brief History
1956 - Professor Leland C Clark defines biosensor
1962 - "Landmark address" at the New York Academy of Science to make "electrochemical sensors"
1975 - (First Generation) blood glucose biosensor becomes a commercialized reality.
1990 - Commercialized pathogen biosensor first launched by Pharmacia BiosensorAB for analysis for bacteria and larger "whole cells".

• Can be ingested from contaminated water, unpasteurized milk, and beverages.
• Common symptoms include:▫ severe stomach aches ▫ diarrhea
Current Method:
• Bioreceptor - antibodies that attach themselves to E Coli
• Transducer - a rod that vibrates at different frequencies when the antibodies are attached to E Coli

Surface Plasmon resonance-based biosensors (SPR)
• Biomolecular recognition element (usually an antibody) is immobilized on the surface of the sensor [8]
• Interaction of staphylococcal enterotoxin B (SEB) and antibody results in a thin biomolecular layer which changes the refractive index

Benefits of SPR
• Allows for continuous real-time analysis [9]
• Detection does not consume reagents unlike the majority of other procedures such as ELISA [9]
• Can work in an amplification mode (in addition to a direct detection mode) [9]
• Commercial SPR-based Biosensors: [3]
▫ GE - BIAcore system▫ Artificial Sensing Instruments - BIOS-1▫ Texas Instruments - SPREETA

Problems with Current Biosensors
• Still lack the ‘real time response’ needed for emergency situations and perishable food items etc.
• Require sophisticated instrumentation and skilled operators – difficult to use in remote settings or developing countries
• Significant sample pre-treatment
