Improving Electrochemical Early Detection of African Swine Fever Using CRISPR-Activated DNA Nanostructures

Updated

Abstract

The detection limit of the DNF-amplified biosensor is 3.57 aM, significantly lower than the conventional method's 2.90 fM.

  • An electrochemical biosensor was developed for detecting African swine fever virus DNA using CRISPR technology.
  • Porous DNA nanoflowers were created to enhance sensitivity and reduce detection time.
  • In the presence of ASFV DNA, the Cas12a enzyme was activated, leading to a measurable electrochemical signal change.
  • The biosensor demonstrated strong reproducibility, stability, and practical application potential for early diagnosis of ASF.
