Interleukin-8 (IL-8) is a critical biomarker associated with inflammation and disability in both adults and newborns. Conventional detection methods are often labor-intensive, time-consuming, and require highly trained personnel. Non-Faradaic impedimetric biosensors offer a label-free, rapid, and direct approach for IL-8 detection. While previous studies have primarily focused on capacitance and phase changes, the potential of other impedimetric parameters remains underexplored. In this study, a gold interdigitated electrode (Au-IDE)-based non-Faradaic biosensor was developed for IL-8 detection, evaluating multiple impedimetric parameters, including capacitance, impedance magnitude (Zmod), real impedance (Zreal), and imaginary impedance (Zimag). Among these, Zimag exhibited the lowest limit of detection (LoD) at 90 pg/mL, followed by Zmod at 120 pg/mL, and capacitance at 140 pg/mL, all significantly below the clinical threshold of 600 pg/mL. In contrast, Zreal displayed the highest LoD at 1.3 ng/mL. Sensitivity analysis revealed that Zimag provided the highest sensitivity at 13.1 kΩ/log (ng/mL), making it the most effective parameter for detecting IL-8 at low concentrations. The sensitivity of Zmod and Zreal was lower, while capacitance sensitivity was measured at 20 nF/log (ng/mL). These findings highlight the importance of investigating alternative impedimetric parameters beyond capacitance to optimize biosensor performance for biomarker detection. This study demonstrates that non-Faradaic biosensors, despite their capacitive-based nature, can achieve enhanced sensitivity and detection limits by leveraging additional impedimetric parameters, offering a promising approach for rapid and effective IL-8 detection.
