A low-cost and disposable microcell was constructed with a screen-printed electrode for the non-enzymatic electrochemical determination of creatinine. The working electrode was modified with carbon black and maintained in contact with paper-adsorbed iron (III) ions. A small sample volume of 3 μL was required for the device operation. Then, iron (III) ions were complexed in the presence of creatinine in a chemical step, followed by an electrochemical reduction of non-complexed metallic ions in excess. Cyclic voltammetry and differential-pulse voltammetry experiments were employed for the electrochemical characterizations and analytical performance evaluation of the microcell. The working electrode modification with carbon black provided a significant increase of analytical signal. The sensor presented a linear response for creatinine concentrations ranging from 0.10 to 6.5 mmol L, with a limit of detection of 0.043 mmol L. Experiments for creatinine determination in real samples were successful performed through of standard recovery in urine.

Owing to the adverse consequences of excess glucose (Glu) and hydrogen peroxide (HO) on humans, it is imperative to develop an electrochemical sensor for detection of these analytes with good selectivity and sensitivity. Herein, a nanohybrid comprising nickel cobaltite nanoparticles (NiCoO NPs) embedded on conductive TiCT nanosheets (NSs) has been prudently designed and employed for the electrochemical detection of Glu and HO. The developed nanohybrid has been systematically characterized using morphological and spectral techniques, and then immobilized on a glassy carbon electrode (GCE).

This work reports on the assessment of a non-hydrolytic electrochemical sensor for glucose sensing that is developed using functionalized carbon nanotubes (fCNTs)/Co(OH). The morphology of the nanocomposite was investigated by scanning electron microscopy, which revealed that the CNTs interacted with Co(OH). This content formed a nanocomposite that improved the electrochemical characterizations of the electrode, including the electrochemical active surface area and capacitance, thus improving sensitivity to glucose.

Since its first introduction, levodopa has remained the cornerstone treatment for Parkinson's disease. However, as the disease advances, the therapeutic window for levodopa narrows, leading to motor complications like fluctuations and dyskinesias. Clinicians face challenges in optimizing daily therapeutic regimens, particularly in advanced stages, due to the lack of quantitative biomarkers for continuous motor monitoring.

Designing and fabricating a highly sensitive non-enzymatic glucose sensor is crucial for the early detection and management of diabetes. Meanwhile, the development of innovative electrode substrates has become a key focus for addressing the growing demand for constructing flexible sensors. Here, a simple one-step laser engraving method is applied for preparing laser-induced graphene (LIG) on polyimide (PI) film, which serves as the sensor substrate.
