Due to the large amounts of pesticides commonly used and their impact on health, prompt
and accurate pesticide analysis is important. This review gives an overview of recent …

In this work the mechanism of (3-aminopropyl) triethoxysilane (APTES) interaction with
silicon surfaces is investigated at the molecular level. We studied the influence of …

Paper chips for immunoassay were patterned by screen printing of polydimethylsiloxane
(PDMS) or wax pencil drawing. The methods for paper chip patterning are cheap …

Abstract Benzo [a] pyrene (BaP), a member of the polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH)
class, is one of the most potent PAH carcinogens. The electrochemical oxidation of BaP was …

A direct, label-free immunosensor was designed for the rapid detection and quantification of
staphylococcal enterotoxin A (SEA) in buffered solutions using quartz crystal microbalance …

CdTe quantum dots (QDs) are prepared on TiO2 nanotubes (TiO2 NTs), for the first time,
with pulse electrodeposition. A novel single-drop optical sensor is prepared with the CdTe …

In this short summary we summarize some of the latest developments in vibrational
spectroscopic tools applied for the sensing of (small) molecules and biomolecules in a label …

In modern agricultural practices farmers have been attempting to save crops from the attacks
of insects and other microorganisms including bacteria, nematodes, weeds, and pests …

Surface nanostructuration was successfully achieved by binding the polyoxometalate
(POM)(NBu4) 3 [PW11O39 {(SiC6H4NH2) 2O}] covalently onto planar gold surfaces. To do …
