Using both experimental assays and fluid-dynamic finite element simulation models, we directly compared the achievable performance limits of four distinct assay configurations for label-free detection of an analyte from a test sample on a biosensor surface. The assay configurations studied in this work included a biosensor incorporated into the bottom surface of a microplate well and a microfluidic channel. For each configuration, we compared assay performance for the scenario in which the entire bottom surface of the fluid-handling vessel is coated with capture ligands with assay performance for the scenario in which the capture ligands are applied in the form of localized spots. As a model system, we used detection of the protein biomarker tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) using immobilized TNIF-alpha capture antibody. Results show that the microfluidic assay format dramatically reduces the time required to establish a stable equilibrium. Spot-based assays are advantageous for microplate-based detection for reducing the time required for equilibrium sensor response. The results derived are generally applicable to any label-free biosensor technology and any ligand-analyte system with adjustable variables that include sensor mass density sensitivity, analyte-ligand adsorption/desorption rate constants, immobilized ligand density, flow channel geometry, flow rate, and spot size.
