Adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) plays an essential role in regulating corticosteroid hormone production, which has important functions in a myriad of critical physiological functions. In this proof-of-concept study, a miniaturized immunosensor was developed for the highly sensitive detection of ACTH using electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) in connection with disposable screen-print...

We describe a sensitive electrochemical immunoassay for Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium, a common foodborne pathogen which can cause infection at extremely small doses. The assay is based on the recognition of DNA biobarcode labels by differential pulse anodic stripping voltammetry (DPASV), following Ag enhancement. The biobarcodes consist of latex spheres (mean diameter 506 nm ± 22 nm)...

Microfluidic technology has now become a novel sensing platform where different analytical steps, biological recognition materials and suitable transducers can be cleverly integrated yielding a new sensor generation. A novel "lab-on-a-chip" strategy integrating an electrokinetic magnetic bead-based electrochemical immunoassay on a microfluidic chip for reliable control of permitted levels of ze...
