A Noninvasive Fluorescent Biosensor for Transdermal Glucose

Tolosa L., Brown S., Tiangco C., Corson E., University of Maryland Baltimore County, US

Our group has been developing a painless, noninvasive method of collecting glucose spontaneously/passively diffusing through the skin. The transdermal glucose collected in this manner has a concentration in the μM range, thus we developed a [...]

Carbon nanotubes functionalized neural probe platform for characterization of cell attachment and motility

Tyson J., Tran M., Patrick T., Slaughter G., University of Maryland Baltimore County, US

The application of micro- or nano-electromechanical systems (MEMs) or (NEMs) to the fabrication of neural probes, have led to the development of minimally-invasive high density probes. Although the majority of neuroMEMs probes have been used [...]

Dual Glucose and Lactate Self-powered biosensor

Baingane A., Mburu N., Animanshaun C., Slaughter G., University of Maryland Baltimore County, US

Organ preservation plays a major role in improving the clinical outcome of transplantation. Extracorporeal perfusion systems have been developed for solid-organ transplants (e.g. liver) and recently, investigators have demonstrated incremental improvements in preserving porcine vascularized [...]

A self-powered glucose monitor

Kulkarni T., Mburu N., Slaughter G., University of Maryland Baltimore County, US

Glucose substrates are successfully harnessed to generate electricity in a membraneless biofuel cell with a mesh-network of carbon nanotubes pyroquinoline quinone glucose dehydrogenase-modified anode and a laccase-modified cathode. Using glucose as a substrate, this glucose-oxygen [...]
