Abstract This protocol describes the rolling circle amplification (RCA) and electrochemical detection of SARS-CoV-2. The procedure consists of 3 parts, which are the amplification, hybridization and detection steps. In the presence of RNA template, the circular DNA template will be ligated to produce a Padlock DNA, which serves as a template for amplification by phi29 DNA polymerase to produce RCA amplicons. The RCA amplicon is a concatemer containing multiple repeats of sequences that are complementary to the circular template. The RCA amplicons are hybridized with redox active probes and detected by electrochemical biosensor using differential pulse voltammetry (DPV). Due to its isothermal nature, RCA can be performed using a simple water bath or heating block. Overall, the whole assay takes approximately 45 min. The assay enables rapid, quantitative results to be obtained for detection of SARS-CoV-2, either in the laboratory or more importantly, in a field setting.

Affinity characterization is essential to develop reliable aptamers for tumor biomarker detection. For alpha-fetoprotein (AFP), a biomarker of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), two DNA aptamers were described with very different affinity. In this work, we estimate the dissociation constant of both of them by means of a direct assay on magnetic beads modified with AFP and electrochemical detection on carbon screen-printed electrodes (SPCE). Unlike previous works, both aptamers showed similar dissociation constant (Kd) values, in the subµM range. In order to improve the performance of these aptamers, we proposed the isothermal amplification of the aptamers by both terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase (TdT) and rolling circle amplification (RCA). Both DNA amplifications improved the sensitivity and also the apparent binding constants from 713 nM to 189 nM for the short aptamer and from 526 nM to 32 nM for the long aptamer. This improvement depends on the true affinity of the binding pair, which ultimately limits the analytical usefulness.
