    Abstract Despite a substantial increase in testing facilities during the pandemic, access remains a major obstacle, particularly in low-resource and remote areas. This constraint emphasizes the need for high-throughput potential point-of-care diagnostic tools in environments with limited resources. Loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) is a promising technique, but improvements in sensitivity are needed for accurate detection, especially in scenarios where the virus is present in low quantities. To achieve this objective, we present a highly sensitive detection approach of a dual-mode graphene-based field-effect transistor (G-FET) biosensor with LAMP. The G-FET biosensor, which has a transparent graphene microelectrode array on a glass substrate, detects LAMP products in less than 30 min using both observable color changes and Dirac point voltage measurements, even in samples with low viral concentrations. This dual-mode G-FET biosensor emerges as a potential alternative to conventional RT-PCR for severe acute respiratory syndrome-associated coronavirus (SARS-CoV)-2 detection or point-of-care testing, particularly in resource-constrained scenarios such as developing countries. Moreover, its capacity for colorimetric detection with the naked eye enhances its applicability in diverse settings.

    Abstract The severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) envelope (E) and RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RdRP) genes were detected via electrochemical measurements using a screen-printed carbon electrode (SPCE) (3-electrode system) coupled with a battery-operated thin-film heater based on the loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) technique. The working electrodes of the SPCE sensor were decorated with synthesized gold nanostars (AuNSs) to obtain a large surface area and improve sensitivity. The LAMP assay was enhanced using a real-time amplification reaction system to detect the optimal target genes (E and RdRP) of SARS-CoV-2. The optimized LAMP assay was performed with diluted concentrations (from 0 to 10

    Abstract Lactate is an important organic molecule that is produced in excess during anaerobic metabolism when oxygen is absent in the human organism. The concentration of this substance in the body can be related to several medical conditions, such as hemorrhage, respiratory failure, and ischemia. Herein, we describe a graphene-based lactate biosensor to detect the concentrations of L-lactic acid in different fluids (buffer solution and plasma). The active surface (graphene) of the device was functionalized with lactate dehydrogenase enzyme using different substances (Nafion, chitosan, and glutaraldehyde) to guarantee stability and increase selectivity. The devices presented linear responses for the concentration ranges tested in the different fluids. An interference study was performed using ascorbic acid, uric acid, and glucose, and there was a minimum variation in the Dirac point voltage during detection of lactate in any of the samples. The stability of the devices was verified at up to 50 days while kept in a dry box at room temperature, and device operation was stable until 12 days. This study demonstrated graphene performance to monitor L-lactic acid production in human samples, indicating that this material can be implemented in more simple and low-cost devices, such as flexible sensors, for point-of-care applications.

    Abstract We report an electrochemical biosensor combined with recombinase polymerase amplification (RPA) for rapid and sensitive detection of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2. The electrochemical biosensor based on a multi-microelectrode array allows the detection of multiple target genes by differential pulse voltammetry. The RPA reaction involves hybridization of the RPA amplicon with thiol-modified primers immobilized on the working electrodes, which leads to a reduction of current density as amplicons accumulate. The assay results in shorter "sample-to-answer" times than conventional PCR without expensive thermo-cycling equipment. The limits of detection are about 0.972 fg/μL (RdRP gene) and 3.925 fg/μL (N gene), which are slightly lower than or comparable to that of RPA assay results obtained by gel electrophoresis without post-amplification purification. The combination of electrochemical biosensors and the RPA assay is a rapid, sensitive, and convenient platform that can be potentially used as a point-of-care test for the diagnosis of COVID-19.

    Abstract Graphene-based transistors are promising devices in the evaluation of carrier density in biological analytes. We report on the design and fabrication of a graphene-based field-effect transistor for monitoring and assessing the interaction between the coagulation factors based on the charge carrier density in a blood sample. When biochemical reactions occurred during the coagulation cascade process, a dopant effect was noticed on the graphene surface by the change in Dirac point voltage values. Additional experiments were performed using blood samples treated with activators (vitamin K, calcium chloride, and thromboplastin reagent) and inhibitors (heparin drugs) to evaluate the selectivity of the graphene field-effect transistor devices. Since the transfer characteristic curves presented divergent behaviours for different levels of procoagulants and anticoagulants, the measurements showed that the devices can assess changes in the concentrations of factors that inhibit or accelerate the cascade process when using untreated and treated samples. Reproducibility was verified by testing samples from different sources. To the best of our knowledge, this study is the first to demonstrate the potential of graphene in monitoring the hemostasis process through the analysis of the electrical properties of human whole blood.

    Abstract Flexible electronics can be developed with a low-cost and simple fabrication process while being environmentally friendly. Conductive silver inks have been the most applied material in flexible substrates. This study evaluated the performance of different conductive ink formulations using silver nanoparticles by studying the material properties, the inkjet printing process, and application based on electrical impedance spectroscopy using a buffer solution. Silver nanoparticles synthesis was carried out through chemical reduction of silver nitrate; then, seven conductive ink formulations were produced. Properties such as resistivity, viscosity, surface tension, adhesion, inkjet printability of the inks, and electrical impedance of the printed electrodes were investigated. Curing temperature directly influenced the electrical properties of the inks. The resistivity obtained varied from 3.3 × 10
