Abstract
Disclosed are miniaturized electronic systems, devices and methods for biomarker analysis, which can be incorporated into blood collection tubes and other containers that enable the immediate isolation, concentration, analysis and storage of disease related biomarkers upon blood draw. In some aspects, a miniaturized electronic system includes a high-surface area folded or sandwiched electrokinetic microelectrode array chip device that allows both AC dielectrophoretic (DEP) and DC electrophoretic based separation and isolation and other processes to be used for the concentration and biomarkers.
Claims (18)
1. A method of analyzing one or more biomarkers in a biofluid, comprising:
obtaining a biofluid from a subject, wherein the biofluid is placed in a collection tube comprising therein an electrokinetic microelectrode array including:
a support structure,
an array of microelectrodes coupled to a first side of the support structure,
a permeation layer at least partially formed on the array of microelectrodes over the support structure, and
one or more detectors, sensors, and/or emitters coupled to a second side of the support structure,
wherein the electrokinetic microelectrode array includes a folded or a sandwiched configuration of the array of microelectrodes on the first side of the support structure and the one or more detectors, sensors, emitters, or combination thereof on the second side of the support structure that forms a microfluidic channel;
contacting the biofluid with the electrokinetic microelectrode array to separate and isolate the one or more biomarkers in the electrokinetic microelectrode array, wherein the electrokinetic microelectrode array separates and isolates the one or more biomarker(s) from the biofluid using one or both of AC dielectrophoretic (DEP) and DC electrophoretic based forces; and
analyzing the one or more biomarkers in the biofluid.
2. The method of claim 1 , comprising introducing a stabilizing buffer onto the electrokinetic electrode array containing the one or more biomarkers to stabilize the one or more biomarkers for storage, transport, or both.
3. The method of claim 1 , comprising:
transporting the one or more biomarkers in the electrokinetic electrode array to a clinical setting,
removing the one or more biomarkers from the electrokinetic electrode array, and
analyzing the one or more biomarkers.
4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the analysis includes one or more of immunofluorescent detection, PCR, RT PCR analysis of RNA, DNA sequencing and epigenetic analyses, or DNA genotyping.
5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the one or more biomarkers is one or more of cell free (cf) DNA, RNA, nucleosomes, exosomes, extracellular vesicle (EVs), drug delivery nanoparticles, cell organelles, proteins, enzymes, protein complexes, virus, bacteria, or cancer cells, and wherein the biofluid is blood, buffy coat blood, plasma, serum, urine, saliva, or cerebrospinal fluid (CSF).
6. The method of claim 1 , wherein about 1 mL to about 5 mL of the biofluid is obtained from the subject.
7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the biofluid is unprocessed blood.
