Vapor-phase detection of the model organophosphate (OP) malathion was achieved using enzymes encapsulated in peptide nanotubes and attached to gold screen printed electrodes. The peptide nanotubes had horseradish peroxidase (HRP) encapsulated inside and both acetylthiocholine (ASCh) and acetylcholinesterase (AChE) coated on the outside. ASCh hydrolysis, which produces thiocholine, was catalyzed...

In the present paper, a comparative study using Co-phthalocyanine and Prussian Blue-modified screen-printed electrodes, has been performed. Both the electrodes have demonstrated an easiness of preparation together with high sensitivity towards thicoholine (LOD=5 x 10(-7) and 5 x 10(-6) M for Co-phthalocyanine and Prussian Blue, respectively) with high potentialities for pesticide measurement. P...

The nature and composition of the surface of pyrolytic graphite and the consequent possible effects, when the material is used as an electrode. are considered on the basis of the structure of the graphite and of the handling and/or treatment to which the electrodes may have been exposed. Because of the relatively limited studies on pyrolytic graphite, certain aspects of the behavior of other ty...

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....

Spectral-Domain Optical Coherence Tomography (SD-OCT) is an optical method capable of 3D imaging of object's internal structure with micron-scale resolution. Modern SD-OCT tools offer the speed capable of online monitoring of printed devices. This paper demonstrates the use of SD-OCT in a simulated roll-to-roll (R2R) process through monitoring some structural properties of moving screen printed...

Functional electrical stimulation (FES) activates nerves using electrical currents, and is widely used in medical applications to assist movement of patients with central nervous system lesions. The recent emergence of small electrode arrays enables greater muscle selectivity and reduces fatigue compared to the use of traditional large electrodes; however existing fabrication techniques are exp...

Electrochemical studies of laccases from basidiomycetes, i.e., Trametes hirsuta, Trametes ochracea, Coriolopsis fulvocinerea, Cerrena maxima, and Cerrena unicolor, have been performed. Direct (mediatorless) electrochemistry of laccases on graphite electrodes has been investigated with cyclic voltammetry, square wave voltammetry as well as potentiometry. For all mentioned high potential laccases...

A sensor for the simple and sensitive measurement of hydrogen peroxide has been developed which is based on screen printed electrodes (SPEs) modified with Prussian blue nanoparticles (PBNPs) deposited using piezoelectric inkjet printing. PBNP-modified SPEs were characterized using physical and electrochemical techniques to optimize the PBNP layer thickness and electroanalytical conditions for o...

Screen-printed carbon electrode (SPCE) is one of the most interesting designs to combine a working (from based material), reference, and counter in single-printed substrate. SPCE has been used many electrochemical measurements due its advantages for analysis microscale. This paper summarises main information about fabrication from material technique aspect on flat substrate work that published ...

В настоящем обзоре описываются выполненные за последние два десятка лет исследования, посвящённые электроосаждению наночастиц серебра на поверхности углеродных электродов и их использованию в аналитической химии.
