In this paper, the semi-real time electrochemical monitoring method using a screen-printed electrode, which employs reverse transcription loop-mediated isothermal amplification (RT-LAMP) for influenza virus RNA, is presented. The amplified DNA combined with methylene blue (MB), which was used as an electroactive DNA intercalator, and the electrochemical signal was monitored using square wave vo...

Escherichia coli O157:H7 is one of the leading bacterial pathogens causing foodborne illness. In this study, an impedance immunosensor based on the use of magnetic nanobeads and screen-printed interdigitated electrodes was developed for the rapid detection of E. coli O157:H7. Magnetic nanobeads coated with anti-E. coli antibody were mixed with an E. coli sample and used to isolate and concentra...

In this paper, a novel sweet taste cell-based sensor is proposed for tastants detection. The human colorectal carcinoma NCI-H716 cell lines, which express α-gustducin and sweet taste receptor T1R1/T1R3, are cultured on the carbon screen-printed electrode with the pre-coated poly-L-ornithine and lamimin for adhesion in extracellular matrix. The electrode is placed into a fluidic and environment ...

Specially designed five-electrode cells contained two types of mixed ionic-electronic conductor ~MIEC! lithium-insertion anodes. These were graphite or Sn1.3Al0.3Ti1.7O1.95(PO4)3 tin composite oxide ~TCO! bonded powders sandwiched between nickel mesh current collectors as working lithium-ion anodes, with Li foils on both sides as reference electrodes, outside of which were two further Li foils,...

We have electronically wired the cytochrome P450 BM3 heme domain to a graphite electrode with the use of a pyrene-terminated tether. AFM images clearly reveal that pyrene-wired enzyme molecules are adsorbed to the electrode surface. The enzyme-electrode system undergoes rapid and reversible electron transfer, displaying a standard rate constant higher than that of any other P450-electrode syste...

Graphite material is abundantly available from recyclable sources. It possesses a good electrical conductance property, which makes it an attractive material as a working electrode. However, due to a high activation overpotential it has limited applications as compared to other solid metal electrodes. In this present work, we obtained a graphite rod from a used battery, and carried out electroc...

This research describes a voltammetric approach to determine amounts of vitamin C (Ascorbic acid) in orange juice sample, using three screen printed electrode. The anodic currents of vitamin C were proportional to vitamin C concentration in the range of 0 – 10.0 mM with the limit of detection of 1.36 mM. The method was successfully employed with 2 μL of the working solution dropped on the elect...

A simple procedure for the voltammetric detection of antioxidative activity of plant extracts based on the protection from DNA damage at the electrode surface is reported. A disposable electrochemical DNA biosensor fabricated as a carbon-based screen-printed electrode modified by a surface layer of the calf thymus double stranded (ds) DNA was used as a working electrode in combination with a si...

Screen-printed electrode (SPE) modified with carbon black nanoparticles (CB) has been tested as a new platform for the stable deposition of caffeic acid (CFA) on the electrode surface. The electrochemical performance from varying the amount of CFA/CB composite has been tested with respect to NADH determination. The electrocatalytic activity of CFA/CB has also been compared with that of SPEs mod...

A comparison between several acetylcholinesterase (AChE) immobilization procedures on the 7,7,8,8-tetracyanoquinodimethane (TCNQ)modified graphite working electrodes is presented. The immobilization methods employed crosslinking with glutaraldehyde in presence of BSA protein and photopolymerization with poly(vinyl alcohol) bearing styrylpyridinium groups (PVA-SbQ). The main variations were rela...
