The detections of HO and catalase play an important role in daily life. This study introduces a paper-based flow sensor that is specifically designed to detect HO and catalase. The sensor utilizes a hydrogel composed of cross-linked 4-carboxyphenylboronic acid and polyvinyl alcohol. When HO is in contact with the hydrogel, the B-C bonds of the hydrogel undergo a reactive process, causing decomposition of the hydrogel. The pH indicator strip enables the visual monitoring of the viscosity change that occurs during the gel-sol transition. The quantification of HO is accomplished by assessing the proportion of water coverage on the pH indicator strip. The sensor shows a detection limit of 0.077 wt% and is applicable for the quantitative measurement of HO in routinely used disinfectants. Furthermore, the presence of catalase is effectively identified and the detection of catalase in milk is successfully fulfilled. In summary, this work proposes a simple, user-friendly, label-free, and cost-effective method for constructing a paper-based flow sensor using borate cross-linked polyvinyl alcohol hydrogel, showing great potential for detecting HO and catalase in various practical scenarios.

This work describes fully integrated multifolding electrochemical paper-based devices (ePADs) for enhanced multiplexed voltammetric determination of heavy metals (Zn(II), Cd(II), and Pb(II)) using tunable passive preconcentration. The paper devices integrate five circular sample preconcentration layers and a 3-electrode electrochemical cell. The hydrophobic barriers of the devices are drawn by pen-plotting with hydrophobic ink, while the electrodes are deposited by screen-printing.

MicroRNA (miRNA) is a promising biomarker for the early diagnosis of pancreatic cancer. To enable sensitive and reliable miRNA detection, we have developed a one-pot isothermal CRISPR/Dx detection system by combining rolling circle amplification (RCA) and CRISPR/Cas12a. RCA and CRISPR/Cas12a reactions are carried out in a single closed tube, bypassing the transferring step.

Novel and simple spectrophotometric and distance based procedures for thiols (L-cysteine, N-acetylcysteine, and glutathione) determination in biological fluids and pharmaceuticals have been proposed based on their inhibitory action on the oxidation of catechol in the presence of Agaricus bisporus crude extract (ABE). The influence of L-glycine, L-alanine, L-proline, L-methionine, L-cystine, ascorbic acid, uric acid, and bilirubin on the thiol determination has been investigated. Uric acid, bilirubin, L-cystine (oxidized thiol), and L-amino acids do not interfere with the determination.
