On-chip detection of biological analytes can enable diagnosis at the point of care. Combining the advantages of microelectromechanical system (MEMS) technology and molecular methods, we present the design of an integrated microfluidic platform, a microelectrochemical sensor (mu ECS), and its implementation for the detection of methicillin resistance in Staphylococcus aureus. This platform is capable of electrochemically sensing the target analyte in a microfluidic reactor without the usage of bulky electrodes, rendering it useful for in vitro diagnostics. In our experiments, the functionality of the sensor was tested for detecting specific DNA sequences of mecA gene (an indicator of methicillin resistance) over a range of concentrations of DNA (down to 10 pM). Synthetic oligonucleotides and bacterial PCR product were used as a target analyte in Hoechst 33258 marker-based detection and horseradish peroxidase-based detection, respectively. The results revealed that this platform has high sensitivity and selectivity. Also, its compatibility to MEMS processes enables its use with different applications ranging from detecting various types of cancers to endemics. The designed mu ECS can enable the detection of biological analytes of interest at low cost and high throughput.

A High throughput parylene microchannel coulter counter for cell sizing and cell counting applications / Laçin, Özgen Sümer; Külah, Haluk; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2014) In medical research, cell counting is of a great importance for the indication of the health status of the patients, diagnosis of the illness, and the detection of the progress of a disease. In clinics, cell counting and sorting is carried out by Coulter Counter devices, in which the electrical potential or resistance change is measured when the cells flow through the defined aperture. Coulter Counter devices perform rapid and accurate analysis of the biological particles in terms of their size and dielectr...
A Lab-on-a-chip system integrating dielectrophoretic detection and impedance counting units for chemotherapy guidance in leukemia Demircan Yalçın, Yağmur; Külah, Haluk; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2018) Precision medicine is defined as therapies, directed to the requirements of individual patients on the basis of genetic, biomarker, phenotypic, or psychosocial characteristics, discriminating a given patient from others with similar clinical states. Oncology is the foremost application area of precision medicine. Although the aim of precision medicine is very clear and simple, the clinical practice of it in cancer patients has some challenges, such as tumor heterogeneity. Tumor heterogeneity can be the most...
A comparative study on EpCAM antibody immobilization on gold surfaces and microfluidic channels for the detection of circulating tumor cells Cetin, Didem; Okan, Meltem; Bat, Erhan; Külah, Haluk (2020-04-01) Detection of circulating tumor cells (CTCs) from the bloodstream holds great importance to diagnose cancer at early stages. However, CTCs being extremely rare in blood makes them difficult to reach. In this paper, we introduced different surface modification techniques for the enrichment and detection of MCF-7 in microfluidic biosensor applications using gold surface and EpCAM antibody. Mainly, two different mechanisms were employed to immobilize the antibodies; covalent bonding and bioaffinity interaction....
A visual object tracking benchmark for cell motility in time-lapse imaging Demir, H. Seckin; Cetin, A. Enis; Atalay, Rengül (2019-09-01) Automatic tracking of cells is a widely studied problem in various biomedical applications. Although there are numerous approaches for the video object tracking task in different contexts, the performance of these methods depends on many factors regarding the specific application they are used for. This paper presents a comparative study that specifically targets cell tracking problem and compares performance behavior of the recent algorithms. We propose a framework for the performance evaluation of the tra...
Comprehensive native glycan profiling with isomer separation and quantitation for the discovery of cancer biomarkers Hua, Serenus; An, Hyun Joo; Özcan Kabasakal, Süreyya; Ro, Grace S.; Soares, Stephanie; DeVere-White, Ralph; Lebrilla, Carlito B. (Royal Society of Chemistry (RSC), 2011-01-01) Glycosylation is highly sensitive to the biochemical environment and has been implicated in many diseases including cancer. Glycan compositional profiling of human serum with mass spectrometry has already identified potential biomarkers for several types of cancer and diseases; however, composition alone does not fully describe glycan stereo-and regioisomeric diversity. The vast structural heterogeneity of glycans presents a formidable analytical challenge. We have developed a method to identify and quantif...
