Recent Advances in Signal Amplification to Improve Electrochemical Biosensing for Infectious Diseases

Xingcheng Zhou et al.

Summary: In the field of infectious disease diagnostics, access to healthcare resources is unequal. Point-of-care (POC) diagnostics, especially those that can be used in non-laboratory settings, are appealing for disease control in resource-limited environments. To improve the sensitivity and specificity, signal amplification strategies have been developed for electrochemical biosensors. This perspective reviews recent advances in signal amplification strategies, specifically for biosensors that detect nucleic acids and pathogenic microbes. These strategies are classified into target-based amplification and signal-based amplification. The authors also emphasize the importance of designing signal amplification strategies that are tailored to the application location and disease target, and that take into account the resources required for production and operation of the sensor, particularly when the sensor is intended for use in low-resource settings. It is anticipated that incorporating signal-based amplification strategies will expand the usage of electrochemical POC devices for diagnosing infectious diseases in various settings.

Recent progress in homogeneous electrochemical sensors and their designs and applications

Haiyin Li et al.

Summary: Electrochemical sensors are regarded as promising tools for sensitive and selective detection of analytes due to their rapid response, easy operation, and miniaturization. However, traditional sensors that immobilize electroactive dyes and recognizable elements are time-consuming and can distort the activity of bio-recognizable elements. Homogeneous electrochemical sensors provide a promising alternative, attracting significant attention worldwide. This review discusses recent research progress on the design, development, and application of homogeneous electrochemical sensors for target analytes, covering single to dual signals and single to multiple analytes. The present challenges and further advancements are also highlighted.
