Colorimetric wearable biosensors made of paper detect glucose in sweat using a smartphone as reader. Measurements correlated well with blood levels, these devices could be used “over-the-counter” tests for monitoring glucose.
Paper sensors with colorimetric signal transduction mechanisms are promising for developing single-use wearable patches that only require a smartphone to quantify signals. However, measuring biomarker fluctuations requires implementing chrono-sampling method performing sequential measurements. In this article, we report on enables the fabrication of devices made entirely filter paper. It consists using dried polymers as closed valves deflect flow liquids different transducers multisensor. As...
There is limited information available describing the clinical and epidemiological features of Spanish patients requiring hospitalization for coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). In this observational study, we aimed to describe characteristics severe (non-ICU) critically (ICU) with COVID-19 at triage, prior hospitalization. Forty-eight (27 non-ICU 21 ICU) positive acute respiratory syndrome 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection were analyzed (mean age, 66 years, [range, 33-88 years]; 67% males). no...
Detecting small variations in the levels of IL-6 is crucial for early diagnosis sepsis. To be useful clinical decision-making, this requires detecting rapidly whole blood and with portable readers. Here we introduce immunosensors made filter paper that use plasmonic nanoprobes to detect unprocessed an unmodified smartphone. Key aspects biosensor fabrication were optimized order reduce assay time without losing sensitivity. This included testing three bioconjugation routes protein attachment...
In this manuscript, we introduce a wearable analytical platform that simultaneously measures the concentration of sweat lactate and sample volume. It contains two sensors entirely made filter paper can be easily affixed on skin with medical-grade tape. The biosensor features unique signal modulation mechanism enables fine-tuning dynamic range. consists adding competitive enzyme inhibitor in different reservoirs. Thanks to this, it is possible choose between very low limit detection (0.06 mM)...
Reactor core: Hybrid core–shell urease–ZnO nanostructures have been synthesized (see picture). The crystallization takes place under mild biological conditions, thus ensuring its easy implementation in other room-temperature syntheses of oxide semiconductor materials.

A robust viral sensor was developed by bridging a pair of gold electrodes with antibody-coated peptide nanotubes. The nanotubes concentrated the target virus on their surface molecular recognition between antibody and (see picture). fit perfectly within electric field line distribution to enable extremely sensitive impedimetric detection particles. Detailed facts importance specialist readers are published as "Supporting Information". Such documents peer-reviewed, but not copy-edited or...
Abstract This feature article highlights our recent applications of functional peptide nanotubes, self‐assembled from short peptides with recognition elements, as building blocks to develop sensors. Peptide nanotubes high aspect ratios are excellent for a directed assembly into device configurations, and their combined structures nanometric diameters micrometric lengths enables bridge the “nanoworld” “microworld”. When peptide‐nanotube‐based biosensors, which incorporate molecular units,...

Colorimetric tests are becoming increasingly popular in point-of-need analyses due to the possibility of detecting signal with naked eye, which eliminates utilization bulky and costly instruments only available laboratories. However, colorimetric may be interpreted incorrectly by nonspecialists disparities color perception or a lack training. Here we solve this issue method that not detects signals but also interprets them so test outcome is understandable for anyone. It consists an...
