Abstract

Plasma separation, rich in biomarkers crucial for diagnosis, is conventionally achieved via high-speed centrifugation, a method hindered by its blood usage, lengthy processes, and complex operations, which delays detection. We introduced a novel real-time blood sensing method based on a Janus membrane and enzymes @MOFs. Asymmetric driving of the janus membrane can realize spontaneous separation of plasma and prevent hemolysis during direct separation. Glucose oxidase (GOx), uric acid oxidase (UOx) and horseradish peroxidase (HRP) were encapsulated in a hydrophilic organometallic framework (MOFs) to construct an enzyme cascade nanoreactor. Embedding enzyme in hydrophilic MOFs not only retains the natural conformation of free enzyme but also improves the brittleness of enzyme, endows MOFs with new biological functions, and expands its sensing application. Using 3,3′,5,5′-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) as a chromogen and a custom app for color interpretation, we achieved real-time visualization of glucose (Glu) and uric acid (UA) at a 50 μM limit. The system accurately analyzed serum samples, matching commercial kits and showing promise for portable, personalized diagnostics.
