Using new materials to improve detection accuracy and efficiency is important to broaden the application of immunoassay sensors. Among numerous materials for improving sensors, chitosan, as a natural polysaccharide, has excellent biocompatibility, mechanical adjustability, stimulation sensitivity and porous structure, which holds significant potential for enhancing the performance of immunoassay sensors. However, at present, there are few systematic reviews on the application of chitosan in immune sensors. In this paper, the principle of immunoassay is discussed systematically, we reviewed the recent development of chitosan enhancement strategies in various immunoassay sensors, including surface plasmon resonance immunoassay sensors, colorimetric immunoassay sensors, electrochemical immunoassay sensor, electrochemical luminescence immunoassay sensors are reviewed. Focused on the theoretical basis of improving sensor performance in immunoassay by use chitosan, as well as the various functions and applications of chitosan, and discussed how to solve the challenges of immunoassay sensors by using chitosan and the future research trend. By providing a robust foundation for the development of more efficient detection platforms, it provides insights for advancing the use of chitosan in the detection of complex biological samples. This is crucial for promoting the widespread application of immunoassay sensors with high performance in clinical diagnosis, environmental monitoring and food safety.

Background: Of the mycotoxins, aflatoxin is the most significant. The detection of aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) is crucial for ensuring food safety, as this highly carcinogenic toxin readily contaminates crops such as grains and nuts, and timely detection can effectively prevent associated health risks. The selection of luminophores is of paramount importance in the detection of ECL (electrochemiluminescence).

Molecular recognition and determination of vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 (VCAM-1), interleukin-6 (IL-6), and natriuretic peptide C-type (NPPC) are essential for the early prognosis and diagnosis of cardiovascular diseases, especially in young obese populations. Highly sensitive and selective devices characterized by low Limits of quantification are required for their determination in whole blood. Therefore, a 3D stochastic sensor was developed by immobilizing a chitosan hydrogel onto a carbon paste electrode (used as the support matrix for the hydrogel), which was subsequently modified with gold nanoparticles, multi-walled carbon nanotubes, and β-cyclodextrin (β-CD/AuNPs@MWCNT/CS/CPE).

The photothermal lateral flow immunoassay (LFIA) has garnered considerable attention, owing to its suitability for on-site quantitative detection. Furthermore, it has distinct advantages in further constructing sensitive detection methods for low-concentration targets. In this study, we employed a ligand engineering strategy to synthesize Fe-chelated quinone nanoparticles (FQNPs).

An advanced electrochemical immunosensor platform was designed for the precise quantification of cortisol. The sensor design integrates graphene oxide-silicon carbide (GO-SiC) nanocomposites onto a glassy carbon electrode (GCE). Denatured bovine serum albumin (d-BSA) and an anti-cortisol antibody were immobilized on the GO-SiC/GCE surface as part of the immunosensor's design.

Background: Magnetic particles (MPs) are widely used in bioanalytical systems to quickly separate specific targets from complex samples using a magnetic field. MPs can be easily functionalized with bioreceptors to capture, separate, and concentrate biomarkers like proteins, oligonucleotides, and cells. Combining MPs-separation capabilities with electrochemical sensors can greatly enhance the sensitivity of these devices, helping achieve ultralow limits of detection for biomarkers.
