Simple detection of gluten in commercial gluten-containing samples with a novel nanoflower electrosensor made of molybdenum disulfide with comparison of the ELISA method.

In this study, a new electrochemical sensor based on molybdenum disulfide (MoS) nanoflowers/glassy carbon electrode (GCE was created for the sensitive detection of gluten. The prepared nanocatalysts were characterized using scanning electron microscopy with energy dispersive spectroscopy, x-ray diffraction, and x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. The effects of the prepared nanocatalysts, pH value, and dropping amounts on the results were examined in detail.

Microstructured prealloyed Titanium-Nickel powder as a novel nonenzymatic hydrogen peroxide sensor.

At present, commercial pure Titanium (Ti) and microstructured pre-alloyed Titanium-Nickel (TiNi) powders are employed as a sensitive electrochemical hydrogen peroxide (HO) sensor. Surface characterization of these materials are performed by x-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The electrochemical characterization is achieved via cyclic voltammetry (CV), chronoamperometry (CA), and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) on Ti and TiNi modified glassy carbon electrode (GCE).

Production of precursors for anti-Alzheimer drugs: Asymmetric bioreduction in a packed-bed bioreactor using immobilized D. carota cells.

(S)-1-Phenylethanol derivatives, which are the precursors of many pharmacological products, have also been used as anti-Alzheimer drugs. Bioreduction experiments were performed in a batch and packed-bed bioreactor. Then, the kinetics constants were determined by examining the reaction kinetics in the batch system with free and immobilized carrot cells.
