Dual Glucose and Lactate Self-powered biosensor

Animanshaun C., Baingane A., Mburu N., 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 [...]

Wireless Graphene-Based Quantum Capacitance Sensors for Continuous Glucose Monitoring

Basu A., Deen D.A., Ebrish M.A., Koester S.J., Kudva Y.C., Mukherjee P., Olson E.J., University of Minnesota, US

We describe a revolutionary concept for in vivo biosensing that utilizes the quantum capacitance effect in graphene to realize an ultra-small passive wireless sensor. The unique properties of graphene make it attractive for sensing applications. [...]

Search of Troponins as Smart Biosensors for Point-of-care Detection of Acute Myocardial Infarction

Sharma R., Florida State University, US

Troponin molecules and their T, C and I subtypes have shown significance in early point-of-care assessment of acute myocardial infarction. Other slowly released proteins are Creatine kinase MB, Fatty acid-binding Protein and myoglobin. Conventional antibody-antigen [...]

Fabrication of electrochemical bio-sensors for the detection of glucose and hydrazine using ZnO nanonails grown by the thermal evaporation process

Hahn Y.B., Kim J.H., Kim S-H, Park Y.K., Umar A., Chonbuk National University, KR

Well-crystallized zinc oxide nanonails have been synthesized in a large quantity via a thermal evaporation method using the metallic zinc powder without the use of any metal catalyst or additives. The detailed structural and optical [...]

Development of Nanoprobes as Glucose Biosensors

Dweik M., Grant S., University of Missouri-Columbia, US

In 2005, the American Diabetes Association (ADA) reported that 20.8 million people have diabetes, making it the fifth leading cause of death by disease in the USA. The objective is to focus on the development [...]

A Disposable Glucose Biosensor Based on Diffusional Mediator Dispersed in Nanoparticulate Membrane on Screen-Printed Carbon Electrode

Arshad M., Gao Z., Shariff M., Xie F., Ying J.Y., Institute of Bioengineering and Nanotechnology, SG

In this paper, we described a disposable glucose biosensor based on co-dispersion of a diffusional polymeric mediator and glucose oxidase (GOX) in nanoparticulate membrane on screen-printed carbon electrode. The biosensor exhibited classical features of a [...]
