Disposable Non-Enzymatic Glucose Sensors Using Screen-Printed Nickel/Carbon Composites on Indium Tin Oxide Electrodes

Sensors

Online resource

Disposable screen-printed nickel/carbon composites on indium tin oxide (ITO) electrodes (DSPNCE) were developed for the detection of glucose without enzymes. The DSPNCE were prepared by screen-printing the ITO substrate with a 50 wt% nickel/carbon composite, followed by curing at 400 °C for 30 min.

The Fate of Microplastics, Derived from Disposable Masks, in Natural Aquatic Environments

Toxics

Online resource

The potential contact forces between microplastics (originating from face masks) with other pollutants, primarily encompass hydrophobic and electrostatic interactions. This critical review paper briefly illustrates the fate of microplastics derived from disposable face masks, further devising effective strategies to mitigate the environmental impact of plas…

Development of a low-cost, disposable biosensor for sensitive quantification of C1 inhibitor in commercial serum

Discover Electrochemistry

Online resource

Abstract Hereditary angioedema (HAE), an autosomal dominant disease that may be fatal in the larynx and gastrointestinal tract, can affect the skin and mucosal surfaces. Indium tin oxide-polyethyleneterephthalate (ITO-PET) electrode based on biosensor is put up in this study to detect C1-Inhibitor (C1-INH).

Vac-and-fill: A micromoulding technique for fabricating microneedle arrays with vacuum-activated, hands-free mould-filling

Newcastle University

Online resource

Additionally, the impact of re-using the disposable syringes on plunger movement, and thus the fill pressure, was investigated using a 20% PVP solution. The fill pressure was consistent at 300–450 mbar.

A Fully Adapted Headstage With Custom Electrode Arrays Designed for Electrophysiological Experiments

Frontiers in Neuroscience

Online resource

Here, we describe a new method for implanting several tungsten electrode arrays, widely distributed over the brain. Moreover, we designed a headstage system, using the Intan® RHD2000 chipset, associated with a connector (replacing the expensive commercial Omnetics connector), that allows the usage of disposable and inexpensive cranial implants.
