Despite the increasing number of applications of biosensors in many fields, the construction of a steady biosensor remains still challenging. The high stability of molecularly bio-imprinted enzymes for its substrate can make them ideal alternatives as recognition elements for sensors. Urease (urea aminohydrolase, EC 3.5.1.5), which catalysis the hydrolysis of urea to ammonia and carbon dioxide, has been used in immobilized form in artificial kidney for blood detoxification. According to one report approximately half a million patients worldwide are being supported by haemodialysis. In this study, the enzyme of urease was first complexed by using a substrate analogue, thiourea, in aqueous medium and then this enzyme was immobilized on gelatin by crosslinking with glutaraldehyde on a glass electrode surface. Similarly, urease noncomplexed with thiourea was also immobilized on a glass electrode in the same conditions. The aim of the study was to compare the two biosensors in terms of their repeatability, pH stability and thermal stability, and also, linear ranges of two biosensors were compared with each other.

This feasibility study presents a novel noncontact method for differentiating standard cannabidiol (CBD) concentrations using optimized interdigital electrodes. The electrode design, with a 100 mm sensing area on a 64 mm × 77 mm FR-4 substrate, was improved through finite element analysis. Methanol-CBD solutions (25-1000 ppm) in 2 mL glass vials were analyzed using a vector network analyzer connected via a high-frequency SMA connector, focusing on scattering parameter (S-parameter) changes.

Introduction: A stone is a compact mass of one or more crystallised substances. The essential mechanism of stone formation is an excessive concentration of poorly soluble compounds in the urine. In excessive concentration, these compounds precipitate into crystals, which then aggregate to form a stone.

Recent advances in mass transfer technology are expected to bring next-generation micro light-emitting diodes (µLED) displays into reality, although reliable integration of the active-matrix backplane with the transferred µLEDs remains as a challenge. Here, the µLED display technology is innovated by demonstrating pixel circuit-integrated micro-LEDs (PIMLEDs) and integrating them onto a transparent glass substrate. The PIMLED comprises of low-temperature poly-silicon transistors and GaN µLED.

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a technique that employs strong magnetic fields and radio frequencies to generate detailed images of the body's interior. In oncology patients, gadolinium-based contrast agents (GBCAs) are frequently administered to enhance the visualization of tumors. Those contrast agents are gadolinium chelates, characterized by high stability that prevents the release of the toxic gadolinium ion into the body.

Residual antibiotics in the environment may pose threats to both ecological system and public health, necessitating the development of efficient analytical strategy for monitoring and control. This study proposes a photoelectrochemical extended-gate field-effect transistor (PEGFET) sensor for specific and sensitive detection of kanamycin. The sensor utilizes ITO glass as the extended gate electrode (photoelectrode) and titanium dioxide as the photosensitive material.
