Detection of Bacteria Using Inkjet-Printed Enzymatic Test Strips

چکیده
Low-cost diagnostics for drinking water contamination have the potential to save millions of lives. We report a method that uses inkjet printing to copattern an enzyme-nanoparticle sensor and substrate on a paper-based test strip for rapid detection of bacteria. A colorimetric response is generated on the paper substrate that allows visual detection of contamination without the need for expensive instrumentation. These strips demonstrate a viable nanomanufacturing strategy for low-cost bacterial detection.

Water Fast of Inkjet Print by Using Acrylic /Nano-Silver Ink
A colour ink jet printing with improved water fastness property was produced by using of special component in the ink’s formulation. In this study, the water fastness of ink jet prints which used acrylic/nano-silver resin nano-composite ink instead of conventional resin in ink’s formulation was examined. The nano composite resin was prepared via miniemulsion polymerization of acrylate monomers ...

This paper reports on an inkjet printing method for the fabrication of lateral flow immunochromatographic devices made from a single piece of filter paper by patterning microfluidic channels and dispensing immunosensing inks, requiring only a single printing apparatus. This "paperfluidic" immunosensing device allows for a less time-consuming and more low-cost fabrication compared with the conve...
متن کاملInkjet printed Prussian blue films for hydrogen peroxide detection.
An inkjet printing method is described to fabricate hydrogen peroxide (H(2)O(2)) sensors. Insoluble Prussian blue (PB) nanoparticles were dispersed in aqueous solvent, and were printed on screen printed carbon electrodes with a piezoelectric inkjet printer for H(2)O(2) detection. The electrochemical behavior of the printed sensors was studied by using cyclic voltammetry and chronoamperometry....
متن کاملHighly sensitive and flexible inkjet printed SERS sensors on paper.
Surface enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) has the potential to be utilized for the detection of a broad range of chemicals in trace quantities. However, because of the cost and complexity of SERS devices, the technology has been unable to fill the needs of many practical applications, in particular the need for rapid, portable, on-site detection in the field. In this work, we review a new meth...
متن کاملChip-on-foil devices for DNA analysis based on inkjet-printed silver electrodes.
For a rapid on-site diagnosis of pathogens, low-cost chip-based devices are of great interest. Here, we report the successful fabrication of inkjet printed silver electrodes on polymer foils as disposable chips for molecular DNA analytics. In order to manufacture these electrode structures, silver nanoparticle inks were inkjet printed onto planar polypropylene substrates. Due to the low thermal...
