Adlershofer Kolloquium Analytik Disposable Sensors for Next-Generation Diagnostics

Prof. Dr.-Ing. Can Dincer
Technical University of Munich (TLIM)

Disposable sensors are Iow-cost and easy-to-handle sensing devices for short-term or single-shot measurements. Over the last decade, they have become increasingly important for different applications, including from environmental, forensic, pharmaceutical, agricultural, and food monitoring to diagnostics, especially the point-of-care testing and wearables.

In this talk, first a short introduction to disposable sensors will be given. Afterwards, a broad spectrum of different biosensing approaches for next-generation on-site testing will be presented:

1. Multiplexed on-site therapeutic drug monitoring of antibiotics from invasive and non-invasive samples toward personalized antibiotherapy,
2. CRISPR-powered electrochemical biosensors for nucleic-acid-amplification-free, simultaneous and on-site detection of multiple RNAs and other biomolecules for COVID-19 management,
3. wearable microfluidic immunosensing devices for lab-on-a-bird applications and beyond,
4. Iow-cost electrochemical paper-based wearable sensors that can be integrated to any type of facemask for wearable and continuous monitoring of breath biochemistry and/or testing of the infectious diseases such as corona-viruses from exhaled breath, and
5. light-controlled dynamic bioassays using optogenetic switches (OptoAssays) for wash- and pump-free point-of-care diagnostics.
