Abstract

Dengue fever is a significant global health threat, where rapid and accurate diagnosis is crucial for timely clinical intervention and outbreak management. Conventional diagnostic methods are often centralized, time-consuming, and require sophisticated equipment, limiting their utility in point-of-care (POC) settings. This study reports the development and validation of a novel lab-on-a-chip (LoC) device integrating gold nanosensors for the ultrasensitive electrochemical detection of the Dengue virus non-structural protein 1 (NS1). The microfluidic device was fabricated using soft lithography, and the gold electrode surfaces were functionalized with specific anti-NS1 monoclonal antibodies. Detection was performed using differential pulse voltammetry (DPV), measuring the change in current response upon immunocomplex formation. The developed immunosensor exhibited a wide linear dynamic range and an exceptionally low limit of detection (LoD) of 1.5 pg/mL for the NS1 antigen. Furthermore, the device demonstrated high selectivity against other interfering proteins. Our findings successfully establish a robust, miniaturized LoC platform for the rapid and highly sensitive detection of dengue biomarkers. This device holds significant potential as a powerful POC diagnostic tool for the early detection of dengue fever, particularly in resource-limited environments.

Abstract

identities is often overlooked in urban studies, which place more emphasis on mainstream culture. Purpose. This study aims to identify and analyze how subcultures affect urban identity, especially in the context of social interaction and public policy in the city of Padang.   Method. The research uses a qualitative approach with case studies, involving in-depth interviews and participatory observations. Results. The results show that subcultures have a significant influence in shaping urban identity through cultural expression, social participation, and more inclusive urban policies. Subcultures not only enrich the visual and aesthetic dimensions of cities, but they also play an important role in creating more welcoming and participatory public spaces.   Conclusion. This study concludes that subcultures can be a strategic component in more sustainable and adaptive urban planning, albeit with limitations in scope and research methods that need to be further developed.
