The current pandemic has shown that we need sensitive and deployable diagnostic technologies. Surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) sensors can be an ideal solution for developing such advanced point-of-need (PON) tests. Homogeneous (reagentless) SERS work by directly responding to the target without any processing step, making them capable simple one-pot assays, but their limitation is achievable sensitivity, insufficient compared what needed sensing of viral biomarkers. Noncovalent DNA...
Nature is highly efficient at producing chiral compounds that are enantiomerically pure. The inherent chirality of naturally occurring biomolecules means many have the potential to be used as dopants for cholesteric liquid crystal (CLC) systems. Though been identified dopants, remain yet probed their ability function dopants. Here, 10 comprised steroids and bile acids were tested CLCs. Progesterone was having high miscibility with nematic crystals in responsive devices. Progesterone-doped...
We demonstrate the density and shape of platinum nanoparticles (PtNP) on carbon-fiber microelectrodes with fast-scan cyclic voltammetry (FSCV) directly impacts detection adenosine. Previously, we showed that metal nanoparticle-modified carbon significantly improves adenine-based purine detection; however, how size particles impact electrochemical was not investigated. Electrochemical investigations surface topology morphology is necessary for designing ultrasensitive electrodes expanding...
The COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted the importance of point-of-care (POC) pathogen detection. Accurate and accessible diagnostic techniques for virus identification are crucial controlling spread diseases have profound implications our communities global health. Reagentless surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) sensors offer a promising solution POC testing due to their capability function without complex processing steps. However, application in this space is limited by fact that these...
