  • Disposable graphene-oxide screen-printed electrode integrated with portable device for detection of SARS-CoV-2 in clinical samples [Elektronski vir]
    Ramya, P.R. ...
    Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) diagnosis is the need of the hour, as cases are persistently increasing, and new variants are constantly emerging. The ever-changing ... nature of the virus leading to multiple variants, has brought an imminent need for early, accurate and rapid detection methods. Herein, we have reported the design and fabrication of Screen-Printed Electrodes (SPEs) with graphene oxide (GO) as working electrode and modified with specific antibodies for SARS-CoV-2 Receptor Binding Domain (RBD). Flexibility of design, and portable nature has made SPEs the superior choice for electrochemical analysis. The developed immunosensor can detect RBD as low as 0.83 fM with long-term storage capacity. The fabricated SPEs immunosensor was tested using a miniaturized portable device and potentiostat on 100 patient nasopharyngeal samples and corroborated with RT-PCR data, displayed 94 % sensitivity. Additionally, the in-house developed polyclonal antibodies detected RBD antigen of the mutated Omicron variant of SARS-CoV-2 successfully. We have not observed any cross-reactivity/binding of the fabricated immunosensor with MERS (cross-reactive antigen) and Influenza A H1N1 (antigen sharing common symptoms). Hence, the developed SPEs sensor may be applied for bedside point-of-care diagnosis of SARS-CoV-2 using miniaturized portable device, in clinical samples.
