New high-performance detection technologies and more robust protein capture agents can be combined to both rapidly and specifically capture and detect protein biomarkers associated with disease in complex biological samples. Here we demonstrate the use of recently developed recombinant affinity reagents, namely nanoyeast-scFv, in combination with alternating current electrohydrodynamic (ac-EHD)-induced shear forces, to enhance capture performance during protein biomarker analysis. The use of ac-EHD significantly improves fluid transport across the capture domain, resulting in enhanced sensor-target interaction and simultaneous displacement of nonspecific molecules from the electrode surface. We demonstrate this simple proof-of-concept approach for the capture and detection ofEntamoeba histolyticaantigens from disinfected stool, within a span of 5 min using an ac-EHD microfluidic device. Under an ac-EHD field, antigens were captured on a nanoyeast-scFv immobilized device and subsequently detected using a quantum dot conjugated antibody. This immunosensor specifically detected antigen in disinfected stool with low background noise at concentrations down to 58.8 fM with an interassay reproducibility (%RSD ofn= 3) < 17.2%, and in buffer down to 5.88 fM with an interassay reproducibility (% RSD,n= 3) of 8.4%. Furthermore, antigen detection using this immunosensor was 10 times more sensitive than previously obtained with the same nanoyeast-scFv reagents in a microfluidic device employing surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) detection in buffer and at least 200 times more sensitive than methods using screen printed gold electrodes in disinfected stool. We predict this rapid and sensitive approach using these stable affinity reagents may offer a new methodology to detect protein disease biomarkers from biological matrices.
