An ultrasensitive multiplexed electrochemical immunoassay method was developed for the detection of tumor markers by combining a newly designed trace tag and a disposable immunosensor array. The array was prepared by immobilizing capture antibodies on gold nanoparticles which were assembled on carbon nanotubes-chitosan modified screen-printed carbon electrodes. The trace tag was prepared by loa...

Integrated microfluidic devices with nanosized array electrodes and microfiltration capabilities can greatly increase sensitivity and enhance automation in immunoassay devices. In this contribution, we utilize the edge-patterning method of thin aluminum (Al) films in order to form nano- to micron-sized gaps. Evaporation of high work-function metals (i.e., Au, Ag, etc.) on these gaps, followed b...

CONTEXT Viral hepatitis diagnosis is an important issue in the treatment procedure of this infection. Late diagnosis and delayed treatment of viral hepatitis infections can lead to irreversible liver damages and occurrence of liver cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma. A variety of laboratory methods including old and new technologies are being applied to detect hepatitis viruses. Here we hav...

the applications of electrochemical machining are increasing because of increasing requests of industries for materials with high strengh and high hardness. regular ecm uses a tool with spicified profile shape that is similar to final shape of workpiece. in this reasearch a nozzle that delivers electrolyte to the machining gap is used for machining cylinderical workpieces. by moving the electro...

BACKGROUND The CombiMatrix ElectraSense microarray is a highly multiplex, complementary metal oxide semiconductor with 12,544 electrodes that are individually addressable. This platform is commercially available as a custom DNA microarray; and, in this configuration, it has also been used to tether antibodies (Abs) specifically on electrodes using complementary DNA sequences conjugated to the A...

purpose: to evaluate the effects of silver nanoparticles on some serum parameters in mice. materials and methods: forty mice, including twenty male and twenty female, were randomly divided into eight groups: c1 and c2 (male and female control groups, respectively), t1, t2 and t3 (male treatment groups), t4, t5 and t6 (female treatment groups). after the acclimatization period, the treatment gro...

Salmonella is one of the leading causes foodborne illnesses worldwide, with poultry products being a major source contamination. Thus, detection salmonella in commercial crucial to minimize effects on public health. Electrochemical sensors are promising tools for bacteria due their sensitivity, simplicity, and potential on-site analysis. In this work, three-dimensional (3D) printed electrochemi...
