Title : Oxygen reduction reaction catalyzed by wired bilirubin oxidase: fully enzymatic and self-calibrating pH biosensor
Eimantas Ramonas, Vilnius University, Lithuania
The oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) is important due to high electrochemical potential. Multicopper oxidases (e.g., bilirubin oxidase (BOx)) belong to a class of enzymes that catalyze ORR with low overpotential, and have attracted significant attention in designing bioelectronic [....] » Read More
Title : Electrochemical properties and sensing capacities of different carbon-based nanodots toward the detection of bioactives in complex matrices
Maria Jesus Villasenor Llerena, Castilla- La Mancha University, Spain
Carbon-based nanodots are a new family of spherical dots (size below 30 nm) which are overall categorized into graphene quantum dots (GQDs), carbon quantum dots (CQDs) and carbon nanodots (CNDs). They possess unique physicochemical properties such as stable fluorescence, large sp [....] » Read More
Title : Portable and laboratory analytical photometric and fluorometric systems based on the use of 3D printed devices
Victor Cerda, Sciware Systems, Spain
The design of several 3D printed devices and some electronic boards, combined with the use of digital imaging detectors, has allowed to build different kinds of portable and cheap photometric systems. 3D printed devices are used to hold the detectors, usual and flow cells, and th [....] » Read More
