PATENT APPLICATION

Number P-2024/0348, from March 22nd 2024., Intellectual Property Office (IPO), Republic of Serbia

‘Microfluidic chamber with integrated biosensor electrodes for simultaneous detection of selected biomarkers`

 The invention solves the problem of multiple simultaneous quantitative detection of different biological markers, biomolecules, hormones and/or pathogenic microorganisms present in traces in clinical samples (e.g. blood, feces) or contaminated food or water sample, while eliminating the impact of detection error and achieving high sensitivity and specificity of detection.

The microfluidic biosensor is Point-of-Care (POC) and Lab-on-a-Chip (LOC) device of high quality due to integration of gold electrodes functionalized with aptamers/antibodies enabling high sensitivity and specificity for accurate quantitative detection of selected biomarkers relevant for animal health, animal welfare and food safety in F2F continuum, at once.

It is intended for farmers who want to monitor the health and welfare conditions of food producing animals (detection of biomarkers for general animal health and animal welfare); food business operators who want to control the production process (detection of food borne pathogens in processing, storage and distribution of food), assess their suppliers/farmers (farm biosecurity level), and meet regulatory requirements (process hygiene and food safety criteria); competent authorities (veterinary and food inspectors) and auditors who need POC testing and LOC device for field use to carry out early and accurate diagnostics on farm, at slaughterhouse, meat processing, retail; retailers who want to monitor/control the safety of the products during shelf life; consumers who want to check the food safety status of the foodstuffs; in biomedicine for personalized medicine (detection of selected blood parameters and intestinal tract contents, tumor biomarkers, drug testing); in environmental monitoring (detection of contaminants).
