Low-Impedance 3D PEDOT:PSS Ultramicroelectrodes.

The technology for producing microelectrode arrays (MEAs) has been developing since the 1970s and extracellular electrophysiological recordings have become well established in neuroscience, drug screening and cardiology. MEAs allow monitoring of long-term spiking activity of large ensembles of excitable cells noninvasively with high temporal resolution and mapping its spatial features. However, their inability to register subthreshold potentials, such as intrinsic membrane oscillations and synaptic potentials, has inspired a number of laboratories to search for alternatives to bypass the restrictions and/or increase the sensitivity of microelectrodes.

Expanding an Efficient, Electrically Driven and CNT-Tagged P450 System into the Third Dimension: A Nanowired CNT-Containing and Enzyme-Stabilising 3 D Sol-Gel Electrode.

Although electrochemically catalysed P450 reactions have been described, their efficiency and applicability remained limited. This is mostly due to low enzyme activity, laborious protein immobilisation and the small electrode surface. We established a novel protein immobilisation method for a determined orientation and electrical wiring of the enzyme without post-expression modification.
