In this paper, a sensitive electrochemical approach for monitoring the effect of nano-Al(2)O(3) on lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) activity is established. It is based on the determination of reduction current of NAD(+) involved in enzyme promoting catalytic reaction of "pyruvate + NADH + H+ [see text]L D H lactate + NAD+" by differential pulse voltammetry (DPV). Various influencing factors including nano-type, nano-size, and adsorbed pollutant organics have been investigated. The experimental results show that the proposed electrochemical method is useful in monitoring and evaluating the toxic effects of nanoparticles, which might be suitable to the environmental pollutant's toxicity analysis.

In the present work, we report the synthesis and evaluation of a graphite-supported bismuth film working electrode (BiFE) in the simultaneous quantification of Hg(II) and Pb(II) at ppb levels. The BiFE was synthesized in-situ by electrodeposition in 1 M HNO as the supporting electrolyte at -0.5 V potential.

Accurate and reliable quantification of disease-related biomolecules is essential for clinical diagnosis. In this study, a novel electrochemical approach is developed based on a target triggered DNA nanostructural switch from a hairpin dimer to a double-stranded wheel. During the process, electrochemical species get closer to the electrode interface, and the multiple intramolecular strand displacements are beneficial to low abundant target analysis.

In this study, we emphasize the importance of identifying Let-7a, a microRNA that is key in diagnosing and predicting lung cancer outcomes. Let-7a's function as a biomarker is essential, as it affects tumor suppression and controls cell differentiation and growth. We developed a novel device, an electrochemical biosensor based on Duplex Specific Nuclease (DSN), that is designed for the accurate detection of Let-7a.

Cancer Antigen 125 (CA125), is a high molecular weight mucinous glycoprotein found on the surface of ovarian cancer cells. Generally, 90 % of women may appear a high concentration of CA125 when they got the cancer; thus, CA125 can act as a marker for ovarian cancer diagnosis and therapeutic evaluation. COFs have been widely used for disease detection due to their structural stability, high loading capacity and biocompatibility.

Precise and rapid disease detection is critical for controlling infectious diseases like COVID-19. Current technologies struggle to simultaneously identify viral RNAs and host immune antibodies due to limited integration of sample preparation and detection. Here, we present acoustofluidic integrated molecular diagnostics (AIMDx) on a chip, a platform enabling high-speed, sensitive detection of viral immunoglobulins [immunoglobulin A (IgA), IgG, and IgM] and nucleic acids.
