Point-of-care immunosensing device for multi-biomarker detection

Abstract

An immunosensing device includes a hub mountable to a device for fluid collection, such as a syringe, sample collection container, or vacuum collection container, and a biosensor mounted to the hub. The biosensor includes a biosensor active area in fluid communication with a fluid passage within the hub. The biosensor active area includes nanoelements functionalized with one or more antibodies or antigen binding fragments thereof for contact with a fluid in the fluid passage. The biosensor active area can include multiple regions each including nanoelements functionalized with a different antibody or antigen binding fragment thereof to detect multiple biomarkers. The biosensor, separately or attached to the hub, can be inserted in a biomarker reader for detection of a biomarker in the fluid.
