Assessment by Ames Test and Comet Assay of Toxicity Potential of Polymers Used to Develop a Field Capable Biosensor

Hebert A., Torosian S., Gleason K., Food and Drug Adminstration, US

Current methods of detecting food-borne pathogens take days to show and confirm results. There is a need for devices that decrease detection time. A field-capable rapid-detection device is being developed and in this study it [...]

Composite microelectrodes from PEDOT and carbon nanotubes enable advanced neuronal recording, stimulation and sensing

Gerwig R., Cesare P., Kraushaar U., Reinartz S., Giugliano M., Kilias A., Ruther P., Stett A., Stelzle M., Natural and Medical Sciences Institute, NMI, DE

The aim of this work was to design an advanced microelectrode material for neurotechnology. In order to improve signal-to-noise ratio, stimulation and sensing properties as well as cell viability, microelectrodes were modified with poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) (PEDOT) [...]

Conductive Polymer Microelectrodes for on-chip measurement of transmitter release from living cells

Tylsgaard Larsen S., Matteucci M., Taboryski R., Technical University of Denmark, DK

In this work we present an all-polymer chip for measuring exocytotic release from neuronal cells using electrochemical sensing at a conductive polymer microelectrode. This chip combines several novel aspects, such as the use of conductive [...]
