DNases are enzymes that cleave phosphodiesteric bonds of deoxyribonucleic acid molecules and are found everywhere in nature, especially in bodily fluids, i.e., saliva, blood, or sweat. Rapid and sensitive detection of DNase activity is highly important for quality control in the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries. For clinical diagnostics, recent reports indicate that increased DNase activity could be related to various diseases, such as cancers. In this paper, we report a new bioelectronic device for the determination of nuclease activity in various fluids. The system consists of a sensor electrode, a custom design DNA target to maximize the DNase cleavage rate, a signal analysis algorithm, and supporting electronics. The developed sensor enables the determination of DNase activity in the range of 3.4 × 10⁻⁴ – 3.0 × 10⁻² U mL⁻¹ with a limit of detection of up to 3.4 × 10⁻⁴ U mL⁻¹. The sensor was tested by measuring nuclease activity in real human saliva samples and found to demonstrate high accuracy and reproducibility compared to the industry standard DNaseAlert™️. Finally, the entire detection system was implemented as a prototype device system utilizing single-use electrodes, custom-made cells, and electronics. The developed technology can improve nuclease quality control processes in the pharmaceutical/biotechnology industry and provide new insights into the importance of nucleases for medical applications.
