A biosensor that can perform analysis based on a sample noninvasively collected from a human body is provided. The biosensor comprises an identification substance (38) that binds to a substance to be detected (40), and an electrode (16) charged with a charge of the identification substance (38), comprises an inhibitor (39) that inhibits a substance not to be detected (42) from attaching to at least one of the identification substance (38) and the electrode (16), and detects a change in a charge density of the electrode (16) caused by binding of the substance to be detected (40) to the identification substance (38).

The present invention relates to sensors and methods for detecting carbohydrates, such as lactose, in a sample. The sensors and methods may also be used to determine the amount of carbohydrate in the sample.

There are provided methods and systems for detecting and/or quantifying an analyte. In particular, there are provided methods and systems for simultaneous detection and/or quantitation of two or more analytes in a sample. In some embodiments, there are provided colocalization-by-linkage assays on microparticles (CLAMP) comprising two sets of binders pre-assembled on a support, such that the two sets of binders are colocalized before contacting the sample.

Provided herein are methods for identifying new biomarkers for various diseases using proteomics, peptidomics, metabolics, proteoglycomics, glycomics, mass spectrometry and machine learning. The present disclosure also provides glycopeptides as biomarkers for various diseases such as cancer and autoimmune diseases.

The present invention relates to a biosensor that uses a cell that expresses a chemosensory receptor that can detect sugar, and an Alzheimer's disease diagnostic apparatus comprising the same. The biosensor and the Alzheimer's disease diagnostic apparatus of the present invention can sensitively detect a particular sugar in a sample, more inexpensively and more quickly, by fixing a drosophila cell having an over-expressed target sensory receptor protein on the cell surface through genetic engineering, and can thereby be efficaciously used for diagnosing Alzheimer's disease.

Methods for derivatization of biomolecules including glycans or other biopolymers with one or more fluorescent, MS active compounds by reductive amination or rapid tagging in order to produce derivatized glycan having a pKa >7 and between about 200 Å and about 1000 Å of nonpolar surface area are described.

The present disclosure provides methods related to accurate detection and treatment of medical conditions related to Clostridioides difficile infection (CDI). In specific cases, the disclosure concerns accurate assessment of a symptom associated with CDI related to the presence or risk that may or may not be a pathogenic infection. Particular embodiments encompass detection of one or more specific analytes that provide information for accurate diagnosis and treatment of CDI.

The present invention relates to provision of a method for detection of polysorbate in pharmaceutical products.

The present invention relates to tri-functional crosslinking reagents carrying (i) a ligand-reactive group for conjugation to a ligand of interest having at least one binding site on a target glycoprotein receptor, (ii) a hydrazone group for the capturing of oxidized receptor-glycoproteins and (iii) an affinity group selected from azides and aklynes for the detection, isolation and purification of captured glycoproteins; as well as their manufacturing. The invention further provides for improved methods of detecting, identifying and characterizing interactions between ligands and their corresponding target glycoproteins on living cells and in biological fluids. The invention further provides for new uses of catalysts in such methods.

A mutant subtilase cytotoxin B subunit protein is provided which can bind glycans having α2-3-linked N-glycolylneuraminic acid and glycans having α2-6-linked N-glycolylneuraminic acid. The mutant SubB protein has deletions of one or more of the amino acid sequence TTSTE and has a previously undescribed ability to bind glycans having α2-6-linked N-glycolylneuraminic acid, while not losing the ability to bind glycans having α2-3-linked N-glycolylneuraminic acid.
