Abstract
I will describe a point-of-care diagnostic that we have developed, in which all reagents are printed and stored on a “non-fouling”—protein and cell resistant— polymer brush. The D4 assay involves four sequential events: (1) Dispense (droplet of blood); (2) Dissolve (printed reagents on chip); (3) Diffuse (across surface); and (4) Detect (binding event). The D4 assay consists of microarrays of printed on the polymer polymer brush yields quantitative results, with picomolar sensitivity within an hour. All reagents are inkjet-printed and stored on D4 chips, which do not require refrigeration. Upon application of a drop of blood to the D4 chip, analyte capture and detection on the D4 chip occurs automatically, generating an image of fluorescent spots that is imaged by a hand-held detector and quantified by an on-board App. Examples of quantitative dose-response from whole blood will be presented and from patient samples. A plasmonically enhanced version of this assay will also be described.
