Article Abstract
Zip nucleic acid (ZNA)-based genomagnetic assay was developed herein for the electrochemical detection of microRNA-34a (miR-34a), which is related to neurological disorders and cancer. The hybridization between the ZNA probe and miR-34a target was performed in the solution phase; then, the resultant hybrids were immobilized onto the surface of magnetic beads (MBs). After magnetic separation, the hybrids were separated from the surface of MBs and then immobilized on the surface of pencil graphite electrodes (PGEs). In the case of a full-match hybridization, the guanine oxidation signal was measured via the differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) technique. All the experimental parameters that influenced the hybridization efficiency (i.e., hybridization strategy, probe concentration, hybridization temperature, etc.) were optimized. The cross-selectivity of the genomagnetic assay was tested against two different miRNAs, miR-155 and miR-181b, individually as well as in mixture samples. To show the applicability of the ZNA-based genomagnetic assay for miR-34a detection in real samples, a batch of experiments was carried out in this study by using the total RNA samples isolated from the human hepatocellular carcinoma cell line (HUH-7).

Background: The COVID-19 pandemic exposed the world to one of the greatest challenges in our history, causing profound social and economic impacts. With the advance of the pandemic, it became evident that there was a need for new diagnostic tests for monitoring and controlling the disease. In this sense, we describe the development of a genomagnetic assay based on the use of a fully disposable electrochemical microfluidic device for detection of RNA from severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) in saliva samples.

Viral respiratory infections represent a major threat to the population's health globally. Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) causes COVID-19 disease and in some cases the symptoms can be confused with Influenza disease caused by the Influenza A viruses. A simple, fast, and selective assay capable of identifying the etiological agent and differentiating the diseases is essential to provide the correct clinical management to the patient.

The world is in a long pandemic period caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus and massive diagnostic tests to assist efforts to control the spread of the disease and also to avoid new coronavirus variants are still needed. Herein, we propose a simple and accurate saliva-based colorimetric test for the diagnosis of COVID-19. Magnetic beads (MBs) modified with a sequence of single-strand DNA (ssDNA) complementary to the N gene of the SARS-CoV-2 RNA were developed and used for magnetic capture and separation from a complex saliva sample.

Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) are the most common type of genetic variation among people. Development of reliable methods for the detection of SNP is crucial in aspects of molecular diagnosis and personalized medicine. In our study, a genomagnetic assay in combination with zip nucleic acid (ZNA) for electrochemical detection of SNP related to Factor V Leiden mutation.
