High performance sequence-specific DNA detection methods have been in high demand due to their broad applications in early stages diagnosis of genetic diseases [1], [2], virus [3], [4], drug screening [5], [6], food analysis [7] and environmental monitoring [8].Significant progress has been made for a better understanding of the electrochemical properties of DNA …
Tips for detecting gold with a metal detector. If you want to use a metal detector to try and find gold, here are a few tips to help you increase your chances of success: Choose the right metal detector. As mentioned above, PI metal detectors are generally more sensitive to gold than VLF metal detectors. However, VLF detectors may be a better ...
Frequency: 6 frequencies choices with a range from 4 kHz to 40 kHz Benefits: . Affordable Mid-Range: The Equinox 900 strikes a good mix between price and performance, making it a good choice for gold prospectors who want to step up their game.; Advanced Discrimination: It has improved filtering settings that make it easier to find gold while reducing …
When transition metal sulfides such as MoS2 are present in the single-layer form, the electronic properties change in fundamental ways, enabling them to be used, e.g., in two-dimensional semiconductor electronics, optoelectronics, and light harvesting. The change is related to a subtle modification of the band structure due to confinement in the direction …
Old laptops and desktops – Big old desktop computers are about as useful as doorstops, but they still contain small quantities of gold. Pile them up, call us up, and we can explain how to recycle them profitably. And don't forget that gold can be found on printed circuit boards, modem cards, graphics cards, memory chips and other extras that got stuffed into …
We have coupled gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) with silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) to assemble a plasmonic sensing platform for colorimetric detection of glucose. In this system, small AuNPs (~4nm) can act as glucose oxidase (GOD) mimic enzyme to catalytically oxidize glucose in the presence of oxygen, pr …
Silver ranks as the most electrically conductive element; however, copper and gold are more frequently utilized in electrical applications due to their cost-effectiveness and superior corrosion resistance, respectively. Factors such as cross-sectional area, length of the conductor, and temperature significantly influence the conductivity or ...
Here, we report on a reliable, ultrasensitive, and easy-to-use sensor for the electrochemical detection of acetaminophen. This sensor employs a gold wire electrode with a unique three-dimensional hierachical nanoporous structure, fabricated using a dissolution, disproportion and deposition procedure.
Multiple antibiotics and mycotoxins usually simultaneously exist in foods, which poses a serious threat to human health. How to detect them in one test with high sensitivity and fidelity is challenging. In this study, we develop a dual readout lateral flow immunodetection platform that can quantitatively detect five kinds of antibiotics and five kinds of mycotoxins …
The voltammetric behavior of N‐methyl‐p‐aminophenol sulfate (METOL) has been studied on the gold electrode modified with SAMs of L ‐cysteine. The voltammetric responses showed that the redox mechanism for METOL at the modified electrode is a reversible‐type mechanism. ... The detection limit is down to 1.0 × 10 −8 mol L −1. The ...
Environmentally benign methods for gold recovery and detection are highly desirable for a sustainable future. Herein, we demonstrate a selective recovery and detection strategy of gold with cucurbit[n]urils (Q[n = 5-7]) by means of outer-surface interactions.Tetrachloroaurate anion ([AuCl 4]-) is able to be rapidly precipitated with Q[n] in …
This paper describes a low-cost facile method to construct gold (Au) nanoparticles (NPs) modified copper oxide (CuO) nanowires (NWs) electrode on copper foil for the detection of glucose. Copper foil has been converted to aligned CuO NWs arrays by sequential formation of Cu(OH)2 followed by heat treatment induced p
Nanoporous gold (NPG) is a type of functional material that has been extensively investigated. Herein, a solid-phase reaction method was used to develop in situ NPG thin-film comprising Au nanobranch structures. The proposed method was found to be simple, fast and without complicated procedures. ... Among the current detection methods of the NO ...
Abstract Conventional detection methods for Listeria monocytogenes contamination in food are time-consuming and expensive, creating a need for a more inexpensive and efficient detection method. The objective of this study was to develop an inexpensive biosensor to detect L. monocytogenes in food samples. Screen-printed carbon electrode …
Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) is applied for the detection of bacteria using bacteriophages as a bioprobe together with gold nanorods (GNRs). Escherichia coli – E. coli K12 was used as a model target bacteria and also for the propagation of its specific T4-phages. Gold nanorods (GNRs) were synthesize
