In the present work zinc oxide nanoflakes (ZnO-NF) structures with a wall thickness around 50 to 100 nm were synthesized on a gold coated glass substrate using a low temperature hydrothermal method. The enzyme uricase was electrostatically immobilized in conjunction with Nafion membrane on the surface of well oriented ZnO-NFs, resulting in a sensitive, selective, stable and reproducible uric ac...

A flexible amperometric glucose sensor formed on biocompatible polymer was fabricated and tested. The sensor was fabricated by laminating biocompatible polymers and film electrodes. Functional and biocompatible polymers of polydimethyl siloxane (PDMS) and 2-methacryloyloxyethyl phosphorylcholine (MPC) copolymerized with dodecyl methacrylate (DMA) were utilized as the sensor material. Particular...

In this article, we report a functionalised ZnO-nanorod-based selective electrochemical sensor for intracellular glucose. To adjust the sensor for intracellular glucose measurements, we grew hexagonal ZnO nanorods on the tip of a silver-covered borosilicate glass capillary (0.7 microm diameter) and coated them with the enzyme glucose oxidase. The enzyme-coated ZnO nanorods exhibited a glucose-d...

Molecular logic gates are information processing devices that can respond to environmental signals and produce a readable output in response through Boolean operations. Molecules with these properties have been used build smart sensors therapeutic agents. In this work, dual enzyme-responsive molecular AND gate is developed the intention discriminate various combinations of enzyme level and/or a...

adequate coverage is one of the main problems for distributed wireless sensor networks and the effectiveness of that highly depends on the sensor deployment scheme. given a finite number of sensors, optimizing the sensor deployment will provide sufficient sensor coverage and save power of sensors for movement to target location to adequate coverage. in this paper, we apply fuzzy logic system to...

During neuronal communication neurotransmitters are released through the process exocytosis that occurs on the time scale of sub-milliseconds to milliseconds. Neuronal activity by neurotransmitters that are non-electroactive cannot easily be monitored due to limitations in the temporal resolutions of the sensor probes for these analytes. In order to achieve a fast detection of the rapid transie...

Most commercially available electrochemical enzyme sensor strips for the measurement of blood glucose use an artificial electron mediator to transfer electrons from the active side of the enzyme to the electrode. One mediator recently gaining attention for commercial sensor strips is hexaammineruthenium(III) chloride. In this study, we investigate and compare the preference of enzyme electrodes...
