AIM Long-term electroencephalogram (EEG) recording is increasingly being used in the neonatal period, but application and maintenance of the EEG electrodes is challenging, especially in preterm infants. This study proposes a practical method of electrode application that can be used in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU). METHODS EEG recording in preterm infants of <32 weeks of gestationa...

In this work, preparation of a molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP) film and its recognition properties for sulfamethoxazolewere investigated. The overoxidized polypyrrole (OPPy) film was prepared by the cyclic voltammetric deposition of pyrrole (Py) in the presence of supporting electrolyte (tetrabutylammonium perchlorate-TBAP) with and without a template molecule (sulfamethoxazole) on a pencil...

This paper describes the design and fabrication of ion-sensing electrochemical paper-based analytical devices (EPADs) in which a miniaturized paper reference electrode is integrated with a small ion-selective paper electrode (ISPE) for potentiometric measurements. Ion-sensing EPADs use printed wax barriers to define electrochemical sample and reference zones. Single-layer EPADs for sensing of c...

Voltammetric detection of biological molecules was carried out using chopped carbon fibers produced from carbon fiber reinforced plastics that are biocompatible and inexpensive. Because chopped carbon fibers normally are covered with a sizing agent, they are difficult to use as an electrode. However, when the surface of a chopped carbon fiber was treated with ethanol and hydrochloric acid, it b...

It follows from critical evaluation of possibilities and limitations modern voltammetric/amperometric methods that one the biggest obstacles in their practical applications real sample analysis is connected with electrode passivation/fouling by reaction products and/or matrix components. This review summarizes how to minimise these problems field detection small organic molecules critically com...

Voltammetric sensor using a symmetrical derivative of anthrone3 (1,7-diamino-3,9-dibutyl benzo[1,2,3-de:4,5,6-d’e’]diquinoline-2,8(3H,9H)-dione) (SPE-A) has been developed as probe for Hg(II) ions. Performance the screen-printed electrode modified with receptor compared in solution phase, 1:1 water-acetonitrile solvent system. Anthrone3 displayed an electrochemically quasi-reversible nature vol...

Bioplastics such as cellulose nanofibers (CNF) are widely used in daily life an alternative to plastics. CNF is also considered a biodegradable, readily disposable, and low-cost material, making it suitable sensor platform. The mechanically treated has both hydrophobic hydrophilic properties where the sides bond strongly with MWCNTs provide conductivity on sheet, while allow target component be...
