چکیده	In the offered study, the proposed sensor combined the innovative disposable microfluidic paper-based immu­ nosensor and cost-effective plant-based anti-SARS-CoV-2 monoclonal antibody CR3022, expressed in Nicotiana benthamiana. An electrochemical microfluidic paper-based analytical device (µPAD) was introduced for quan­ titative detection of the SARS-CoV-2 antigen employing electrocatalytic activity of the Ni Fe layered double hydroxide (NiFe LDH). Its electrocatalytic activity asthe platform of proposed the analytical device enhanced the signal output via redox-recycling of the species the ferri/ferrocyanide [Fe(CN)6]3-/4- in solution and is applied to µPAD response signal. Layered NiFe double hydroxide (LDH) nanosheets with a suitable redox potential were prepared by incorporating Fe into the Ni-based LDH. With the help of Fe, the charge-transfer kinetics for the reduction of Ni3+ to Ni2+ was improved and the formation of unwanted Ni components with higher oxidation state was suppressed. The incorporated Fe as the electron transfer mediator enhanced the process of Ni(OH)2/ NiOOH redox cycle. Under the optimum conditions, the dependency of impedance signal and SARS-CoV-2 concentration showed a linear region from 10 fg/mL-5 ng/mL with a detection limit of 0.23 fg/mL. This Paper-based immunosensor device also showed long stability and good reproducibility, which can be used for the quantitative assay of the SARS-CoV-2. The results of nasal samples analysis revealed the applicability of the resulting biosensor.
