The ability to detect biological analytes in a rapid, sensitive, operationally simple, and cost-effective manner will impact human health and safety. Hybrid biocatalyzed-carbon nanotube (CNT) nanowire-based detection methods offer a highly sensitive and specific platform for the fabrication of simple and effective conductometric devices. Here, we report a conductivity-based DNA detection method...

A laboratory assessment has been made of the performance and applicability of several different conductimetric wetness detectors for use in monitoring water distribution on different plant surfaces in a tree canopy. Leaf surfaces were monitored using parallel electrode clip sensors and grid sensors. Fruit and trunk wetness was monitored using parallel electrode sensors encircling fruit and trun...

This review paper reports the applications of magnetic microbeads in biosensors and bio-bar code assays. Affinity biosensors are presented through different types of transducing systems: electrochemical, piezo electric or magnetic ones, applied to immunodetection and genodetection. Enzymatic biosensors are based on biofunctionalization through magnetic microbeads of a transducer, more often amp...

Metal complexes of dichloro-tetramorpholino-cyclophosphazatriene containing divalent cations such as Ni(II), Co(II), and Mn(II) have been prepared and characterised by standard physico-chemical procedures (elemental chemical analysis, IR and UV-VIS spectra, conductimetric measurement). The newly synthesised compounds possessed antifungal activity against Aspergillus and Candida spp., some of th...
