The conventional mechanical biosensor based on stress and electrical conversion can be an effective method to detect key human biomarkers for clinical diagnosis and early disease prevention. However, the applications of this type of biosensor are greatly limited due to their unsatisfactory sensitivity. In this work, a magnetic-sensitized (MS) mechanical biosensor based on multi-field coupling was developed for higher sensitivity, giving access to detect human serum albumin (HSA). Via introducing secondary magnetic antibodies labeled with magnetized Fe 2 O 3 nanoparticles to the stress and electrical conversion element of the MS-biosensor, the multi-field coupling was realized based on stress, electricity, and magnetism. Under the action of the magnetic field, the magnetic force of the secondary magnetic antibody and the stress of antigen-antibody binding jointly drove and enhanced the deformation of the MS-biosensor, amplifying the electrical signal, and realizing magnetic sensitization. The HSA was detected by the MS-biosensor at a range of 0–80 μg/mL with a limit of detection (LOD) of 0.14 μg/mL, demonstrating the high performance of the MS-biosensor. Moreover, the MS-biosensor showed high selectivity, specificity, and stability, indicating that the magnetic sensitization strategy of the MS-biosensor was significant for the clinical application of mechanical biosensors.
A factor closely associated with renal disease status in clinical diagnosis is abnormal human serum albumin (HSA) concentration levels in human body fluids urine, serum, etc. The surface stress biosensor was developed as a new type of biosensor to detect protein molecule concentration and has a wide range of clinical applications. However, further sensitivity improvement is required to achieve higher detection performance. Herein, MXene/PDMS/Fe3O4/PDMS of the multilayer heterogeneous membrane biosensor (MHBios) based on the coupling of the magnetic field, electric field, and surface stress field was successfully developed to achieve high sensitivity HSA detection through magnetic sensitization. The modified antibody specifically binds to HSA at the AuNP layer, allowing the biosensor to convert the surface stress caused by PDMS film deformation into an electrical signal. When the biosensor was exposed to a uniform magnetic field, the conductive path of the conductive layer was reshaped further as the magnetic force amplified the deformation of the PDMS film, enhancing the conversion of biological signals to electrical signals. The results exhibited that the detection limit (LOD) of the MHBios was 78 ng/mL when HSA concentration was 0–50 μg/mL, which was markedly lower than the minimum diagnostic limit of microalbuminuria. Furthermore, the MHBios detected HSA in actual samples, confirming the potential for early disease screening.
