AbstractCoronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is a highly contagious disease caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). Diagnosis of COVID-19 depends on quantitative reverse transcription PCR (qRT-PCR), which is time-consuming and requires expensive instrumentation. Here, we report an ultrasensitive electrochemical biosensor based on isothermal rolling circle amplification (RCA) for rapid detection of SARS-CoV-2. The assay involves the hybridization of the RCA amplicons with probes that were functionalized with redox active labels that are detectable by an electrochemical biosensor. The one-step sandwich hybridization assay could detect as low as 1 copy/μL of N and S genes, in less than 2 h. Sensor evaluation with 106 clinical samples, including 41 SARS-CoV-2 positive and 9 samples positive for other respiratory viruses, gave a 100% concordance result with qRT-PCR, with complete correlation between the biosensor current signals and quantitation cycle (Cq) values. In summary, this biosensor could be used as an on-site, real-time diagnostic test for COVID-19.

A fast and simple strategy for early detection of circulating tumor cells (CTCs) is urgently required because of cancer metastasis. In this work, we assembled an electrochemical biosensor by two aptamers that could form hairpin and specifically recognize K562 cells. The thiolated capture aptamer was fixed on the gold electrode surface. The detection aptamer was linked with a primer at 3 end which could trigger rolling circle amplification to prolong the sequence of aptamer. The dual-aptamer model was fabricated to improve the capture specificity and efficiency for K562 cells. The rolling circle amplification improved the detection sensitivity by inhibiting electron transfer of [Fe(CN)6]3–/4– which could be measured by differential pulse voltammetry. The detection limit of 25 cells mL–1 and linear ranges of 1 × 10 2 to 1 × 105 cells mL–1 were obtained under optimal experimental conditions. Our work exhibited a label-free and simple method for detecting CTCs using cell-specific aptasensor, showing an expected possibility for further CTCs-related study and clinical applications of this novel method.
