Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) plays a pivotal role in various industrial applications [1]. It is an essential mediator in pharmaceutical, clinical, and environmental research. In addition, it is a byproduct of highly selective oxidases and an important contaminant in several industrial products and wastes [2]. Therefore, a reliable and economical method for the determination of H2O2 is of great sign...

Quantification of biological or biochemical processes are of utmost importance for medical, biological and biotechnological applications. However, converting the biological information to an easily processed electronic signal is challenging due to the complexity of connecting an electronic device directly to a biological environment. Electrochemical biosensors provide an attractive means to ana...

Among the techniques of detection used in clinical chemistry, optical and electrochemical methods are especially attractive. However, except for glass electrodes for pH measurement, potentiometric electrochemical sensors (ionselective electrodes) gained general acceptance in clinical analyzers and in clinical instrumentation, respectively, only around 1970 (for reviews see 1-5). Here we report ...

This paper reports a sensitive method with electrochemical technique to detect various proteases, which can be used for the diagnosis of prostate cancer. For the proposed assay method, the working electrode is modified with the peptide probes for the target proteases. These probes contain the substrate sequence of target proteases, as well as the seed peptide sequence that can accelerate the mi...

This study presents a simple, label-free electrochemical technique for the monitoring of DNA ligase activity. DNA ligases are enzymes that catalyze joining of breaks in the backbone of DNA and are of significant scientific interest due to their essential nature in DNA metabolism and their importance to a range of molecular biological methodologies. The electrochemical behavior of DNA at mercury...

Polyaniline (PANI) was successfully combined with 3DNC as supercapacitor electrodes by two commonly used method: chemical polymerization (CP) and electrochemical deposition (ECD). The combination of PANI and the 3DNC led to a fascinating result, showing high specific capacitance of 615 F/g (CP) and 1120 F/g (ECD) at the current density of 10 A/g. Both electrodes showed stable electrochemical pe...

The reaction of cis,fac-[RuCl2(dmso-S)3(dmso-O)], 1, with different azole (L) ligands leads to new [RuCl2(L)(dmso-S)3] compounds (L = CH3-pz-H, 2; NO2-pz-H, 3; CF3-pz-H, 4 and Br-Hind, 5). Complexes 2-5 have been characterized by analytical, spectroscopic and electrochemical techniques as well as by monocrystal X-ray diffraction analysis. Upon oxidation to Ru(iii) the complexes undergo linkage ...

BACKGROUND A new simple technique based on iontophoresis technology (EZSCAN, Impeto Medical, Paris, France) has recently been developed for the screening of diabetes. In the present study, we investigated the accuracy of this system for the diagnosis of diabetes mellitus in Chinese. METHODS We performed the EZSCAN test in diabetic and non-diabetic subjects. EZSCAN measures electrochemical con...

This paper reports cadmium sulphide nanoparticles-(CdS NPs)-graphene nanocomposite (CdS-Graphene), prepared by a simple method, in which CdS NPs were anchored/decorated successfully onto graphene sheets. The as-synthesized nanocomposite was characterized using standard characterization techniques. A combination of CdS NPs with the optimal amount of two-dimensional graphene sheets had a profound...
