We described an electrochemical method to monitor in real-time the isothermal helicase-dependent amplification of nucleic acids. The principle of detection is simple and well-adapted to the development of portable, easy-to-use and inexpensive nucleic acids detection technologies. It consists of monitoring a decrease in the electrochemical current response of a reporter DNA intercalating redox p...

An electrochemical sensor is introduced as a tool applicable for diagnosis of intoxication by cholinesterase inhibitors caused by the well-known nerve agent VX. The traditional Ellman method was chosen for comparison with the sensor's analytical parameters. Both methods are based on estimation of blood cholinesterase inhibition as a marker of intoxication. While Ellman´s method provided a limit...

We present a fast and effective electrochemical method to purify random networks of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) that leads to total removal of metal catalyst without apparent detrimental effect on the electrochemical properties of the electrodes. The efficiency of the electrochemical purification has been compared with that of conventional chemical purification (acid washing). The d...

Electrochemical behaviors of 1-naphthaleneacetic acid (NAA) at an ionic liquid N-butylpyridinium hexafluorophosphate (BPPF6/CPE) modified carbon paste electrode was investigated by cyclic voltammetry (CV) and further used for NAA sample determination. The experimental results showed that NAA at both the bared and the modified electrode showed an irreversible oxidation process, but at the modifi...

mirage effect is contactless and non destructive method which has been used a lot to determine thermal properties of different  kind of samples , transverse photothermal deflection ptd in  skimming configuration with ccd camera  and special programs is used to determine thermal conductivity of porous silicon ps  film. ps samples were prepared by electrochemical etching. thermal conductivity wit...

In this work, we fabricated an electrochemical sensor based on trimethyloctadecylammonium bromide and multi-walled carbon nanotubes-Fe3O4 hybrid (TOAB/MWCNTs-Fe3O4) for sensitive detection of tetrabromobisphenol A (TBBPA). The nanocomposite was characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) techniques. The ele...

the present study concentrates on the synthesis of au nanoparticles (aunps) using aqueous solution of polyvinylpyrrolidone (pvp) and tetrachloroaurate by different methods as thermal, sonochemical and electrochemical reduction. the pvp has been used as a reducing agent and acts as a stabilizer for au nano particles that obtained as principal product. in all synthesis procedures, the active radi...

This paper demonstrates a new method for electrochemical detection of specific sequences of DNA present in trace amounts in serum or blood. This method is designed for use at the point-of-care (particularly in resource-limited settings). By combining recombinase polymerase amplification (RPA)- an isothermal alternative to the polymerase chain reaction - with an electroactive mediator, this elec...
