Food-borne illnesses are a growing concern for the food industry and consumers, with millions of cases reported every year. Consequently, there is critical need to develop rapid, sensitive, inexpensive techniques pathogen detection in order mitigate this problem. However, current strategies mainly include time-consuming laboratory methods highly trained personnel. Electrochemical in-field biosensors offer low-cost alternative techniques, but electrodes used these require expensive...

The integration of microfluidics and electrochemical cells is at the forefront emerging sensors energy systems; however, a fabrication scheme that can create both in scalable fashion still lacking. We present one-step, mask-free process to create, pattern, tune laser-induced graphene (LIG) with ubiquitous CO2 laser. laser parameters are adjusted LIG different electrical conductivity, surface morphology, wettability without need for postchemical modification. Such definitive control over...

Visual pH-sensing cellulose acetate (CA)-based films was incorporated with different concentrations of red cabbage extract (RCE). The were characterized by color, barrier and thermal properties, microscopic topographic characteristics, mechanical performance, detection capacity volatile ammonia, time-dependent color stability lighting. RCE incorporation into CA-based promoted a color-changing an increased light exhibited plasticizer effect on the properties films. Moreover, surface patterns...
