A new electrochemical sensor was demonstrated for selective sensing of 3,4-dihydroxyphenylacetic acid (DOPAC) through a non-oxidative mechanism by using single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) as the electronic transducer and a synthetic cyclophane electron acceptor as the recognition element.

A theory for the interpretation of the operation mechanism of ion-selective membrane electrodes is briefly outlined. The statements are based on the accumulated results concerning the electrochemical and spectrochemical behaviour of ion-selective membranes.

The conventional methods used for specific sequences detection in nucleic acids based on DNA sequence polymerization (PCR) or DNA hybridization (FISH), present certain drawbacks such as the requirement of expensive equipment, time-consuming, laborious and in some case a low sensitivity. Therefore, biosensors are the most attractive alternative providing simple, reliable, fast and selective dete...

The wish to determine thermodynamic data of electrochemical reactions and of the involved compounds is one of the most important motivations to perform electrochemical measurements. After calorimetry, electrochemistry is the second most important tool to determine thermodynamic data. Although ab initio quantum chemical calculations can be used for the calculation of thermodynamic data of small ...

This paper presents the study of the electrochemical oxidation of the insecticide Methidathion organophosphorous pesticide, using a boron-doped diamond (BDD) anode. The influence of current density, sodium chloride concentration, temperature and initial Methidathion concentration on the rate of COD abatement has been followed. The electrolyses were performed by using a solution composed of an e...

A disposable electrochemical immunosensor for carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) was proposed based on the antigen immobilized in a colloidal gold nanoparticles modified chitosan membrane on the surface of an indium-tin oxide (ITO) electrode. The different membranes were characterized by scanning electron microscope and electrochemical methods. Based on a competitive immunoassay format, the immobil...

Understanding the doping mechanism that involves substantial charge transfer between carbon nanotubes and chemical adsorbent is of critical importance for both basic scientific knowledge and nanodevice applications. Nevertheless, it is difficult to estimate the modification of electronic structures of the doped carbon nanotubes. Here we report measurements of electrochemical potentials of n-dop...
