Abstract

A strip-type glucose biosensor, prepared using screen-printing technology and comprising glucose oxidase (E.C.1.1.3.4.), peroxidase (E.C.1.1.3.13.) and ferrocyanide as mediator incorporated into graphite-hydroxyethyl cellulose matrices is described. The sensor acted at 0.0 V vs Ag/AgCl electrode, and the response time was 50-60 s. The calibration was linear up to 25 mM of glucose. The sensor response was constant in the range of pH 7.0-8.5. At 25 degrees C the biosensor temperature coefficient was 2.7% degrees C(-1). The sensor was insensitive to a physiological level of ascorbic acid (40 microM) and was used for glucose determination in whole blood.

From host response to genomic targets: electrochemical biosensing of tuberculosis biomarkers.

Tuberculosis (TB) remains one of the leading causes of death from a single infectious agent worldwide, with timely diagnosis continuing to be a major challenge, particularly in resource-limited settings. Conventional TB diagnostic methods are limited by low sensitivity, long turnaround times, and an inability to reliably differentiate latent from active disease. Biomarker-based diagnostic strategies have therefore gained increasing attention as they offer the potential to improve early detection, disease differentiation, and treatment monitoring. Herein, we examine electrochemical biosensing strategies for TB diagnostics using a biomarker-class-driven framework, covering host-response biomarkers (IFN-γ and TNF-α), pathogen-derived antigens (ESAT6, CFP10, CFP10-ESAT6, MPT64, Ag85, HspX and LpqH), cell-wall signatures and whole-cell markers (LAM and whole cell Mtb), and genomic markers (Mtb DNA and IS6110). Through structured comparison of recognition elements, biointerface designs, signal amplification strategies, electrochemical techniques, matrices, and validation levels, this review identifies the most promising technical approaches for different TB biomarker classes. It further highlights key translational bottlenecks, including limited clinical validation, buffer-based testing, complex multistep amplification, redox-probe dependence, matrix fouling, and insufficient evidence of manufacturability. This review therefore provides practical guidance for developing electrochemical TB biosensors that are analytically sensitive, clinically relevant, and suitable for decentralized diagnostic applications.

Metal-organic frameworks nanozyme-integrated portable microneedle patch for visual bacterial monitoring in meat.

Foodborne microbial contamination is a major global health concern, with conventional methods often being time-consuming and complex. Herein, we developed a novel portable biosensor by integrating microneedle patch technology and a metal-organic framework (Fe/Cu-NBDC MOF) nanozyme, enabling rapid, on-site, visual detection of bacteria in meat. The sensing system works by encapsulating aptamer-functionalized MOF nanozymes within a hydrogel patch, where their catalytic sites are initially blocked by the aptamer. In the presence of Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) as the target, the specific aptamer's binding to bacteria exposes numerous catalytic sites, further activating the chromogenic reaction of the tetramethylbenzidine‑hydrogen peroxide (TMB-H₂O₂) system, enabling visual detection of S. aureus. The biosensor demonstrates a detection limit of 82 CFU/mL with excellent specificity to successfully apply to commercial mutton. By integrating sampling, enrichment, and visual detection into a single compact device, this platform offers a practical, efficient solution for rapid on-site screening of foodborne pathogens.

Liquid chromatographic determination of residual hydrogen peroxide in pharmaceutical excipients using platinum and wired enzyme electrodes.

Hydrogen peroxide (H(2)O(2)) is a chemically reactive reagent that can oxidize and degrade many pharmaceutical compounds under normal conditions. Unfortunately, H(2)O(2) is often introduced into pharmaceutical excipients during manufacturing and it may significantly affect the chemical stability of drugs in formulations. Thus, a sensitive analytical method for determination of residual H(2)O(2) in excipients is of importance in formulation development and product quality control. A liquid chromatographic system with a dual channel electrochemical detector (LCEC) was equipped with either a platinum electrode or a wired peroxidase electrode for determination of H(2)O(2). The excipient (0.1 g) was dissolved in 10 ml of mobile phase and 5 microl of the dissolved solution was directly injected. The chromatographic run time for each sample was 1 min with a detection limit of 10 ng/ml (S/N=5) using the platinum electrode and 1 ng/ml (S/N=5) using the wired enzyme coated electrode, respectively. The peak purity was assured by comparing the peak ratios at different potentials for both the standard and the samples. The H(2)O(2) levels in different batches of PVP, PEG, and other surfactants from different manufacturers were determined and the values ranged from 0 to 244 ppm. The LCEC method is exceptionally fast, accurate and convenient for quantitation of low levels of residual H(2)O(2) in pharmaceutical formulation excipients.
