DNA biosensors (or genosensors) are analytical devices that result from the integration of a sequence-specific probe and a signal transducer. Among other techniques, electrochemical and piezoelectric methods have recently emerged as the most attractive due to their simplicity, low instrumentation costs, possibility for real-time and label-free detection and generally high sensitivity. Focusing ...

Entropy as a measure of uncertainty was used to represent the results of the wavelet technique in electrochemical noise analysis. The experimental signals were obtained by recording the electrochemical potential and current noise of 7075 aluminum alloy in 3.5% NaCl solution. The electrochemical potential and current noise were decomposed into 16 levels using Daubechies wavelets. Wavelet output ...
