We report the direct electrochemistry of cytochrome c at screen printed graphite electrodes which exhibits quasi-reversible voltammetric responses without the need for any chemical or electrochemical pre-treatment, use of mediators or nanomaterials. Through voltammetric studies and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) it is shown that carbonyl and carboxylic surface oxygenated species likely ...

We present a new electrochemical sensor for Flunitrazepam using disposable and economic Screen Printed Graphene Electrodes. It was found that the electrochemical response of this sensor was improved compared to Screen Printed Graphite Electrodes and displayed an excellent analytical performance for the detection of Flunitrazepam. Those characteristics could be attributed to the high Flunitrazep...

An overview is given dealing with the application of ion-selective electrodes (ISEs) in environmental analysis. ISEs are placed into the context of the trend of development of sensors for extensive and frequent monitoring. Discussed are the issues such as sensing platforms and their mass-production, improvement of precision, diagnostic of sensor functionality, and development of reference elect...

in this work, hierarchical wo3 core-shell microspheres were synthesized via a facile template-free precipitation method. gas sensing properties of the synthesized powder to acetone and some other volatile organic compounds were comparatively investigated with commercial wo3 nanoparticles. the synthesized and commercial powders were characterized by x-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscop...

Textile electrodes are becoming an attractive means in the facilitation of surface electrical stimulation. However, the stimulation comfort of textile electrodes and the mechanism behind stimulation discomfort is still unknown. In this study, a textile stimulation electrode was developed using conductive fabrics and then its impedance spectroscopy, stimulation thresholds, and stimulation comfor...

Abstract Redox polymers have been widely used to facilitate and stabilize bioelectrochemical communication between the active sites of enzymes electrodes, enabling development high-performance enzyme electrodes for sensing, provision power, in synthesis. This review offers a brief overview recent efforts use additional polymer layers on top redox polymer/enzyme layer, which can both improve per...

Over the past two decades, there has been an increasing trend towards miniaturization of both biological and chemical sensors and their integration with miniaturized sample pre-processing and analysis systems. These miniaturized lab-on-chip devices have several functional advantages including low cost, their ability to analyze smaller samples, faster analysis time, suitability for automation, a...

Graphene materials are very popular in the field of biosensing owing to their distinctive characteristics. However, oxygen-containing groups are known to exist intrinsically in graphene-related materials. These groups influence the electrochemical properties of graphene materials and therefore affect the sensing performance of graphene-based electrodes when used to detect redox active biomarker...

Introduction. Valuable insights can be gained by combining both invasive and non-invasive schemes for analyzing and activating the central nervous system.. For example, combining fMRI and intracortical recording has yielded important information about metabolic mechanisms that are highly correlated with recorded neural activity[1]. Similarly, combining fMRI with electrical microstimulation has ...

The detection of dopamine in a highly sensitive and selective manner is crucial for the early diagnosis of a number of neurological diseases/disorders. Here, a report on a new platform for the electrochemical detection of dopamine with a considerable accuracy that comprises a 3D porous graphene oxide (pGO)/gold nanoparticle (GNP)/pGO composite-modified indium tin oxide (ITO) is presented. The p...
