welcome to this video on electrochemical
biosensors in this video we'll explore
what electrochemical biosensors are how
they work and their application in
detecting cancer
biomarkers we'll also discuss some of
the advantages of electrochemical
biosensors and the current state of the
field so let's get started before we
dive into this topic let's clarify some
terminologies on electrochemical methods
and
biosensors electrochemical methods in
clinical chemistry refer to the use of
electrochemistry to detect and measure
certain analytics or biomarkers in
biological samples these methods rely on
the interaction between an electrode and
the analyte of Interest the interaction
will generate a signal that can be
detected and
Quantified in clinical chemistry
biosensors are commonly used for the
rapid and sensitive detection of disease
biomarkers such as glucose cholesterol
and various
proteins the electrochemical biosensors
that we discuss today are devices that
will use electrochemical principles to
detect biological molecules or analytes
they're composed of three main
components a bi ological recognition
element a tranducer and a signal
processor the biological recognition
element is a molecule such as an
antibody enzyme or DNA probe that is
specific to the analyte of
Interest the tranducer converts the
recognition event into a measurable
signal such as an electrical current
voltage or impedence the signal
processor amplifies filters and analyzes
the electrical signal generated by the
tranducer to provide a quantitative
measurement of the analyte of
interest there are several types of
electrochemical biosensors we use in our
clinical Diagnostics like amperometric
potentiometric and impedometric
biosensors amperometric biosensors
measure the current produced by a Redux
reduction oxidation reaction between the
Target analyte and an electrode while
potentiometric biosensors measure the
potential difference between two
electrodes in the presence of the
analyte impeded metric biosensors
measure the change in impedence or
resistance caused by The Binding of the
analyte to the recognition
element let's take a closer look at how
electrochemical biosensors work imagine
that we want to detect a cancer
biomarker in a biological sample such as
blood or urine we would design an
electrochemical biosensor with a
recognition element such as an antibody
that is specific to the cancer biomarker
when we add the biological sample to the
biosensor the cancer biomarker in the
sample will bind the recognition element
on the biosensor surface this binding
event causes a change in the
electrochemical signal which can be
measured and
Quantified so as we can see by measuring
this change in signal
we can determine the concentration of
the cancer biomarker in the sample this
is a powerful tool for cancer diagnosis
and treatment monitoring as it enables
us to detect cancer biomarkers in
complex biological samples with high
accuracy now let's take a look at a
specific example of using
electrochemical biosensors to detect
cancer
biomarkers electrochemical biosensors
for detecting prostate specific antigen
or PSA have been developed as an
alternative or complimentary method to
Conventional PSA detection techniques
such as enzymelinked immunoabsorbent
assays or
elisas in the case of a PSA amperometric
biosensor the working principle can be
explained as follows the immobilization
of anti-psa antibody or aptamer the
first step involves immobilizing a
specific anti-psa antibody or timer onto
the surface of a working electrode which
is usually made of material such as gold
platinum or carbon the immobilization
can be achieved through various methods
such as calent bonding physical
absorption or self assembled monolayers
or
Sams this immobilization ensures that
the bi biological recognition element
the anti-psa antibody or aptamer is
selectively and staely attached to the
electrode
surface next is the introduction of the
sample when a sample containing PSA for
example blood serum is introduced to the
biosensor the PSA molecules in the
sample bind selectively to the
immobilized anti-psa antibody or aptamer
on on the electrode surface this binding
event is specific and selective ensuring
that only PSA molecules interact with
the biological recognition
element next is Redux reaction and
current Generation The Binding event
between PSA and the immobilized anti-psa
antibody or timer triggers a Redux
reaction at the electrode surface this
Redux reaction often involves an
electron mediator such as ferine or
other Redux active molecules which
facilitates the transfer of electrons
between the electrode and the biological
recognition element as a result an
electrical signal is generated which is
proportional to the amount of PSA bound
to the electrode surface fourth is
amperometric detection the generated
current is measured using an ampermeter
which records the current as a function
of time or applied potential the
magnitude of the current signal is
directly proportional to the
concentration of PSA in the sample the
size of the signal produced by an
electrochemical biosensor in response to
PSA depends on several factors including
the sensitivity and selectivity of the
biosensor the concentration of PSA in
the sample and the experimental
conditions generally a higher
concentration of PSA in the sample will
result in a larger signal from the
biosensor but the specific threshold for
detection may vary depending on the
specific biosensor and assay design the
signal produced by the biosensor is
typically Quantified by comparing it to
a calibration curve generated from known
concentrations of PSA electrochemical
biosensors have several applications in
detecting cancer biomarkers let's
explore some of these applications in
more detail one example is the detection
of cancer biomarker
ca125 in ovarian cancer ca15 is a
protein that is overexpressed in ovarian

disease an electrochemi luminescent
amuno aay such as an Alexus ca25 to
amuno aay can be used to detect
ca25 in human serum or plasma with high
sensitivity and
specificity another example is the
detection of mutations associated with
certain types of cancer such as the BF

accuracy in addition to these examples
