Abstract
A biosensor is a device that reacts with the analyte to be analyzed, detects its concentration, and generates readable information, which plays an important role in medical diagnosis, detection of physiological indicators, and disease prevention. Nanomaterials have received increasing attention in the fabrication and improvement of biosensors due to their unique physicochemical and optical properties.

The advantages of commonly used nanomaterials such as gold nanoparticles (AuNPs), carbon nanotubes (CNTs), quantum dots (QDs), graphene, and magnetic nanobeads for biosensor applications are also reviewed. Besides, the two main types of biosensors using nanomaterials involved in their construction and their working principles are described, and the toxicity and biocompatibility of nanomaterials and the future direction of nanomaterial biosensors are discussed.

Abstract
Dopamine (DA) and uric acid (UA), which are vital components in human metabolism, cause several health problems if they are present in altered concentrations; thus, the determination of DA and UA is essential in real samples using selective sensors. In the present study, graphite carbon paste electrodes (CPE) were fabricated using ZnO/carbon quantum dots (ZnO/CQDs) and employed as electrochemical sensors for the detection of DA and UA. These electrodes were fully characterized via different analytical techniques (XRD, SEM, TEM, XPS, and EDS). The electrochemical responses from the modified electrodes were evaluated using cyclic voltammetry, square wave voltammetry, and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. The results showed that the present electrode has exhibited high sensitivity towards DA, recognizing even at low concentrations (0.12 μM), and no inference was observed in the presence of UA. The ZnO/CQD electrode was applied for the simultaneous detection of co-existing DA and UA in real human urine samples and the peak potential separation between DA and UA was found to be greatly associated with the synergistic effect originated from ZnO and CQDs. The limit of detection (LOD) of the electrode was analyzed, and compared with other commercially available electrodes. Thus, the ZnO/CQD electrode was used to detect DA and UA in real samples, such as Saccharomyces cerevisiae cells.

Abstract
Potentiometric sensors are the largest and most commonly used group of electrochemical sensors. Among them, ion-selective electrodes hold a prominent place. Since the end of the last century, their re-development has been observed, which is a consequence of the introduction of solid contact constructions, i.e., electrodes without an internal electrolyte solution. Research carried out in the field of potentiometric sensors primarily focuses on developing new variants of solid contact in order to obtain devices with better analytical parameters, and at the same time cheaper and easier to use, which has been made possible thanks to the achievements of material engineering. This paper presents an overview of new materials used as a solid contact in ion-selective electrodes over the past several years. These are primarily composite and hybrid materials that are a combination of carbon nanomaterials and polymers, as well as those obtained from carbon and polymer nanomaterials in combination with others, such as metal nanoparticles, metal oxides, ionic liquids and many others. Composite materials often have better mechanical, thermal, electrical, optical and chemical properties than the original components. With regard to their use in the construction of ion-selective electrodes, it is particularly important to increase the capacitance and surface area of the material, which makes them more effective in the process of charge transfer between the polymer membrane and the substrate material. This allows to obtain sensors with better analytical and operational parameters. Brief characteristics of electrodes with solid contact, their advantages and disadvantages, as well as research methods used to assess their parameters and analytical usefulness were presented. The work was divided into chapters according to the type of composite material, while the data in the table were arranged according to the type of ion. Selected basic analytical parameters of the obtained electrodes have been collected and summarized in order to better illustrate and compare the achievements that have been described till now in this field of analytical chemistry, which is potentiometry. This comprehensive review is a compendium of knowledge in the research area of functional composite materials and state-of-the-art SC-ISE construction technologies.

Abstract
Fabrication of a novel ion selective electrode for determining alcaftadine was achieved. The glassy carbon electrode (GCE) was utilized as a substrate in fabrication of an electrochemical sensor containing polyaniline (PANI) as an ion-to-electron transducer layer. A PVC polymeric matrix and nitrophenyl-octyl-ether were employed in designing the ion-sensing membrane (ISM). Potential stability was improved and minimization of electrical signal drift was achieved for inhibition of water layer formation at the electrode interface. Potential stability was achieved by inclusion of PANI between the electronic substrate and the ion-sensing membrane. The sensor's performance was evaluated following IUPAC recommendations. The sensor dynamic linear range was from 1.0 × 10-2 to 1.0 × 10-6 mol L-1 and it had a 6.3 × 10-7 mol L-1 detection limit. The selectivity and capabilities of the formed alcaftadine sensor were tested in the presence of its pharmaceutical formulation excipients as well as its degradation products. Additionally, the sensor was capable of quantifying the studied drug in a rabbit aqueous humor. Method's greenness profile was evaluated by the means of Analytical Greenness (AGREE) metric assessment tool.

Abstract
Use of the nanocomposite of chloride-doped polyaniline nanofibers and multiwalled carbon nanotubes (PANINFs-Cl:MWCNTs) for construction of ion-selective electrodes with solid-contact sensitive to chloride ions has been described. Many types of electrodes were tested, differing in the quantitative and qualitative composition of the layer placed between the electrode material and the ion-selective membrane. Initial tests were carried out, including tests of electrical properties of intermediate solid-contact layers. The obtained ion-selective electrodes had a theoretical slope of the electrode characteristic curve (-61.3 mV dec-1), a wide range of linearity (5 × 10-6-1 × 10-1 mol L-1) and good potential stability resistant to changing measurement conditions (redox potential, light, oxygen). The chloride contents in the tap, mineral and river water samples were successfully determined using the electrodes.

Abstract
Food safety issues are directly related to people's quality of life, so there is a need to develop efficient and reliable food contaminants' detection devices to ensure the safety and quality of food. Electrochemical biosensors have the significant advantages of miniaturization, low cost, high sensitivity, high selectivity, rapid detection, and low detection limits using small amounts of samples, which are expected to enable on-site analysis of food products. In this paper, the latest electrochemical biosensors for the detection of biological contaminants, chemical contaminants, and genetically modified crops are reviewed based on the analytes of interest, electrode materials and modification methods, electrochemical methods, and detection limits. This review shows that electrochemical biosensors are poised to provide miniaturized, specific, selective, fast detection, and high-sensitivity sensor platforms for food safety.

Abstract
The applications of conventional sensors are limited by the long response time, high cost, large detection limit, low sensitivity, complicated usage and low selectivity. These sensors are nowadays replaced by Nanocomposite-based modalities and nanomaterials which are known for their high selectivity and physical and chemical properties. These nanosensors effectively detect heavy metal contaminants in the environment as the discharge of heavy metals into natural water as a result of human activity has become a global epidemic. Exposure to these toxic metals might induce many health-related complications, including kidney failure, brain injury, immune disorders, muscle paleness, cardiac damage, nervous system impairment and limb paralysis. Therefore, designing and developing novel sensing systems for the detection and recognition of these harmful metals in various environmental matrices, particularly water, is of extremely important. Emerging nanotechnological approaches in the past two decades have played a key role in overcoming environmentally-related problems. Nanomaterial-based fabrication of chemical nanosensors has widely been applied as a powerful analytical tool for sensing heavy metals. Portability, high sensitivity, on-site detection capability, better device performance and selectivity are all advantages of these nanosensors. The detection and selectivity have been improved using molecular recognition probes for selective binding on different nanostructures. This study aims to evaluate the sensing properties of various nanomaterials such as metal-organic frameworks, fluorescent materials, metal-based nanoparticles, carbon-based nanomaterials and quantum dots and graphene-based nanomaterials and quantum dots for heavy metal ions recognition. All these nano-architectures are frequently served as effective fluorescence probes to directly (or by modification with some large or small biomolecules) sense heavy metal ions for improved selectivity. However, efforts are still needed for the simultaneous designing of multiple metal ion-based detection systems, exclusively in colorimetric or optical fluorescence nanosensors for heavy metal cations.

Abstract
Advancements in nanoscience and nanotechnology have opened new pathways to fabricate novel nanostructures with interesting properties that would be used for different applications. In this respect, nanostructures comprising chirality are one of the most rapidly developing research fields encompassing chemistry, physics and biology. Chirality, also known as mirror asymmetry, describes the geometrical property of an object that is not superimposable on its mirror image. This characteristic plays a crucial role because these identical forms of chiral species in pharmaceuticals or food additives may exhibit different effects on living organisms. Therefore, chiral analysis is an important field of modern chemical analysis in health-related industries that are reliant on the production of enantiomeric compounds involving pharmaceuticals. This review covers the recent advances dealing with the synthesis, design and advantageous analytical performance of nanomaterials-enriched sensors used for chiral pharmaceuticals. We conclude this review with the challenges existing in this research field and our perspectives on some potential strategies with cutting-edge approaches for the rational design of sensors for chiral pharmaceuticals. We expect this comprehensive review will inspire future studies in nanomaterials-enriched chiral sensors.

Abstract
In this study, we have used cotton silk as a source of abundant hydroxyl groups for the fast nucleation/growth of cobalt oxide (Co3O4) nanowires via a hydrothermal method. The crystal planes of the Co3O4 nanowires well matched the cubic phase. The as-synthesized Co3O4 nanowires mainly contained cobalt and oxygen elements and were found to be highly sensitive towards uric acid in 0.01 M phosphate buffer solution at pH 7.4. Importantly, the Co3O4 nanowires exhibited a large surface area, which was heavily utilized during the immobilization of the enzyme uricase via a physical adsorption method. The potentiometric response of the uricase-immobilizing Co3O4 nanowires was measured in the presence of uric acid (UA) against a silver/silver chloride (Ag/AgCl) reference electrode. The newly fabricated uric acid biosensor possessed a low limit of detection of 1.0 ± 0.2 nM with a wide linear range of 5 nM to 10 mM and sensitivity of 30.6 mV dec−1. Additionally, several related parameters of the developed uric acid biosensor were investigated, such as the repeatability, reproducibility, storage stability, selectivity, and dynamic response time, and these were found to be satisfactory. The good performance of the Co3O4 nanowires was verified based on the fast charge-transfer kinetics, as confirmed via electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. The successful practical use of the uric acid biosensor was demonstrated based on the recovery method. The observed performance of the uricase-immobilizing Co3O4 nanowires revealed that they could be considered as a promising and alternative tool for the detection of uric acid under both in vitro and in vivo conditions. Also, the use of cotton silk as a source of abundant hydroxyl groups may be considered for the remarkably fast nucleation/growth of other metal-oxide nanostructures, thereby facilitating the fabrication of functional electrochemical devices, such as batteries, water-splitting devices, and supercapacitors. In this study, we have used cotton silk as a source of abundant hydroxyl groups for the fast nucleation/growth of cobalt oxide (Co3O4) nanowires via a hydrothermal method.![]()

Abstract
The rapid development of industrial technologies continuously increases the heavy metal pollution of water resources. Recently, portable electrochemical analysis-based devices for detecting heavy metal ions have attracted much attention due to their excellent performance and low fabrication costs. However, it has proven difficult to accommodate complex testing needs in a cost-effective manner. To address these limitations, we propose a new system for the in situ detection of heavy metals in wastewater using an organic light-emitting diode-based panel to display data in real time and Bluetooth to transmit data to a smartphone for rapid analysis. The fabricated device integrates an in situ signal analysis circuit, a Bluetooth chip, a photocured 3D-printed shell, and an electrode sleeve interface. In addition, a fully screen-printed functional electrode plate containing chitosan/PANi-Bi nanoparticle@graphene oxide multi-walled carbon nanotubes is utilized for the rapid detection of heavy metal ions. This device can perform wireless data transmission and analysis and in situ signal acquisition and processing. The sensor exhibits a high sensitivity (Hg2+: 88.34 μA ppm-1 cm-2; Cu2+: 0.956 μA ppm-1 cm-2), low limit of detection (Hg2+: 10 ppb, Cu2+: 0.998 ppm) and high selectivity during the detection of copper and mercury ions in tap water under non-laboratory conditions, and the results of real-time tests reveal that parameters measured in the field and laboratory environments are identical. Hence, this small, portable, electrochemical sensor with a screen-printed electrode can be effectively used for the real-time detection of copper and mercury ions in complex water environments.

Abstract
Research on the Ion-Selective Electrode (ISE) of coated wire-type tartrazine using chitosan as an ionophore has been developed. The variables used in the manufacture of ISE are membrane composition and immersion time. Meanwhile, the basic characteristics of ISE measured are Nernst value, measurement concentration range, detection limit, and measurement response time. The results showed that ISE tartrazine coated wire type had an optimum membrane composition in a mixture of chitosan: PVC: DOP of 3: 34: 63 (% w/w) and a membrane immersion time 20 minutes. The basic characteristics of ISE produce a Nernst value of 20.976 mV/decade. The measurement concentration range is 1×10-7-1×10-2 M with a detection limit of 2.749×10-7 M or 0.1469 ppm. The response time ranges from 10-60 seconds, with an average of 40 seconds.

Abstract
Chemogenetic property of mercuric ion (Hg2+) was investigated as a specific hypercalcemia actuator in the neuronal spinal cord cell manipulation by Zeta-based potentiometric bio-sensing analysis via introducing a novel array-based Hg2+ bio-sensor. For this purpose, the array of a two-electrode system including Ag/AgCl (sat'd Cl-) as reference electrode and a paste nano-composite as the indicator electrode was utilized. The indicator electrode was made of activated multi-walled carbon nanotubes as conductive support, a grounded slice of sheep's spinal cord as natural neuron stem cells (ionophore), and oxalate ion as both the dispersed phase and cationic site. Under optimum conditions by one-at-a-time method, a two-linear range between 1.3 × 10-4- 6.5 × 10-12 and 2.7 × 10-14- 1.4 × 10-21 mol L-1 with correlation coefficients (R2) of 0.96 and 0.99, respectively, and response time (t90) of maximum 5.0 min were approximated. The percentages of relative standard deviation were estimated to be 4.05 (repeatability, n = 10) and 6.14 (reproducibility, n = 12). The detection limit was estimated to be sub 5.3 × 10-22 mol L-1 based on the X̄b+3Sb. The reliability of this phenomenon was evidenced by different analytical techniques. The Zeta-based electrical response was therefore attributed to highly Ca2+ pumping from the stem cells ionic channel gates as the proposed mechanistic behavior of the spinal cord. Actuating (triggering) the stem cells by Hg2+ consequently led to generate significant Zeta potential as the proposed mechanism. The results pointed to the potentiometric responsibility of a protein with gram molecular weight of 66.2 ± 0.3 KCU in the stem cell matrix as a specific hypercalcemia actuator.

Abstract
Potentiometric redox sensing is a relatively inexpensive and passive approach to evaluate the overall redox state of complex biological and environmental solutions. The ability to make such measurements in ultra-small volumes using high surface area, nanoporous electrodes is of particular importance as such electrodes can improve the rates of electron transfer and reduce the effects of biofouling on the electrochemical signal. This work focuses on the fabrication of miniaturized nanoporous gold (NPG) electrodes with a high surface area and a small footprint for the potentiometric redox sensing of three biologically relevant redox molecules (ascorbic acid, uric acid, and cysteine) in microliter volumes. The NPG electrodes were inexpensively made by attaching a nanoporous gold leaf prepared by dealloying 12K gold in nitric acid to a modified glass capillary (1.5 mm id) and establishing an electrode connection with copper tape. The surface area of the electrodes was ~1.5 cm2, providing a roughness factor of ~16 relative to the geometric area of 0.09 cm2. Scanning electron microscopy confirmed the nanoporous framework. A linear dependence between the open-circuit potential (OCP) and the logarithm of concentration (e.g., Nernstian-like behavior) was obtained for all three redox molecules in 100 μL buffered solutions. As a first step towards understanding a real system, the response associated with changing the concentration of one redox species in the presence of the other two was examined. These results show that at NPG, the redox potential of a solution containing biologically relevant concentrations of ascorbic acid, uric acid, and cysteine is strongly influenced by ascorbic acid. Such information is important for the measurement of redox potentials in complex biological solutions.

Abstract
Polymer-grafted nanomaterials based on carbon allotropes and their derivatives (graphene oxide (GO), etc.) are typically prepared by successive reaction stages that depend upon the initial functionalities in the nanostructure and the polymerization type needed for grafting. However, due to the multiple variables involved in the functionalization steps, it is commonly difficult to predict the properties in the final product and to correlate the material history with its final performance. In this work, we explored the steps needed to graft the carboxylic acid moieties in GO (COOH@GO) with a pH-sensitive polymer, poly[2-(diethylamino)ethyl methacrylate] (poly[DEAEMA]), varying the reactant ratios at each stage prior to polymerization. We studied the combinatorial relationship between these variables and the behavior of the novel grafted material GO-g-poly[DEAEMA], in terms of swelling ratio vs. pH (%Q) in solid specimens and potentiometric response vs. Log[H+] in a solid-state sensor format. We first introduced N-hydroxysuccinimide (NHS)-ester moieties at the –COOH groups (GO-g-NHS) by a classical activation with N-ethyl-N′-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)carbodiimide (EDC). Then, we substituted the NHS-ester groups by polymerizable amide-linked acrylic moieties using 2-aminoethyl methacrylate (AEMA) at different ratios to finally introduce the polymer chains via radical polymerization in an excess of DEAEMA monomer. We found correlated trends in swelling pH range, interval of maximum and minimum swelling values, response in potentiometry and potentiometric linear range vs. Log[H+] and could establish their relationship with the combinatorial stoichiometries in synthetic stages.

Abstract
Anionic surfactants are important components of many products used in everyday life in all households. They are also applied in various industrial fields at a very large scale. Since they have a negative influence on the environment, it is an imperative to monitor their concentration in aquatic ecosystems. Therefore, it is of great importance to develop new methods for the determination of a wide spectra of anionic surfactants in complex environmental samples in a short time. A comprehensive review of potentiometric sensors for the determination of anionic surfactants in the last 50 years is given with special concern to papers published since 2000, but noting some earlier published important papers. The latest development in use of new ionophores, polymer formulations, and nanomaterials is presented. Additionally, the application of new potentiometric sensors in batch mode or in miniaturized microfluidic methods is discussed.

Abstract
Solid-contact potentiometric ion-selective electrodes (SC-ISEs) for thallium determination have been designed using multiwall carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) as the ion-to-electron transducer. Dispersed MWCNTs were drop-casted over a gold plate electrode. Two different crown ethers were used in the sensing membrane for the recognition of thallium (I). Sensorsbased on dibenzo-18-crown-6 (DB18C6) as a neutral carrier and NaTPB as an anionic additive exhibited a near Nernstian response of 57.3 mV/decade towards Tl+ ions over the activity range 4.5 × 10-6-7.0 × 10-4 M, with a limit of detection of 3.2 × 10-7 M. The time required to achieve 95% of the steadyequilibrium potential was <10 s. The complex formation constant (log βML) between dibenzo-18-crown-6 and thallium (I) (i.e., 5.99) was measured using the sandwich membrane technique. The potential response was pH independent over the range 3.0-9.5. The introduction of MWCNTs as an electron-ion-transducer layer between gold plate and the sensing membrane lead to a smaller membrane resistance and a large double layer capacitance, which was proven using impedance spectra and chronopotentiometry (i.e., 114.9 ± 12 kΩ, 52.1 ± 3.3 pF, 200 ± 13.2 kΩ, and 50 ± 4.2 µF). Additionally, reduction ofthe water layer between the sensing membrane and the underlying conductor wastested. Thus, it is clear that MWCNTs can be used as a transducing layer in SC-ISEs. The proposed sensor was introduced as an indicator electrode for potentiometric titration of single and ternary mixtures of I-, Br-, and S2- anions.

Abstract
Potentiometric aptasensors enhanced by integrating advanced nanomaterials are of particular interest for the detection of multiplex species (e.g., proteins, bacteria, micro-organisms) due to their low cost, ease of operation, and low detection limits. However, potentiometric detection of small ionic species aptasensors is still challenging. This article describes the first example of a label-free G-quadruplex-based potentiometric aptasensing platform for the detection of Pb2+. Polyion oligonucleotide-labeled gold nanoparticles (AuNPs-DNA) as probes are modified on Au electrode, providing high-density negative charge on the electrode surface. These signal-amplifying probes can selectively form G-quadruplexes with the presence of Pb2+ ions and reduce the negative charges on the electrode surface, hence achieving potentiometric detection of Pb2+ ions with high selectivity. The AuNPs-DNA-based aptasensor shows an acceptable sensitivity over a wide range from 10-11 to 10-6 M with a detection limit of 8.5 pM. Furthermore, confirmed by coupled plasma mass spectrometry, the sensing platform is capable of performing effective and accurate detection of Pb2+ level in real water samples. The presented aptasensor offers a fast, convenient, low-maintenance, and highly sensitive alternative for on-site water pollution detections.

Abstract
Currently, nanomaterial-based all-solid-state ion-selective electrodes (ASS-ISEs) have become attractive tools for ion sensing in environmental and biological applications. However, nanomaterial solid contact can easily fall off the electrode surface owing to poor adhesion. This poses serious limits to the wide use of these sensors. Herein, we report a general and facile method for the robust fabrication of nanomaterial-based ASS-ISEs. It is based on the silver-based conductive adhesive (CA) with excellent electronic conductivity and strong adhesion ability as the binder to construct nanomaterial-based solid contact. The solid-contact Ca2+-ISE based on single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) is chosen as a model. The proposed electrode based on CA-SWCNTs shows a linear response in the concentration range of 10−6 to 10−3 M with a slope of 25.96 ± 0.36 mV per decade and a detection limit of 1.7 × 10−7 M. In addition, the CA-SWCNT-based Ca2+-ISE exhibits an improved potential stability and reduced water film compared to the coated-wire ISE. Above all, experiments also show that the CA-SWCNT-based electrode exhibits nearly the same electrochemical characteristics as the classical only SWCNT-based electrode in term of resistance, capacitance and potential stability. We believe that CA-nanomaterial-based solid contacts provide an appealing substitute for traditional solid contacts based on nanomaterials. For the first time, a general and facile approach for the robust fabrication of nanomaterial-based solid contact ISEs is reported.![]()

Abstract
An all-solid-state potentiometric aptasensor array based on a multichannel disposable screen-printed carbon electrode (SPCE) was demonstrated for the simultaneous detection of Hg2+, Cd2+, and As3+ by open circuit potential (OCP) technology. The potential of the channel with an internal calibration DNA sequence (IC-DNA) was employed as the internal calibration potential (ICP) to subtract the background signal generated by the detection system, providing a built-in correction methodology. As a result, the developed aptasensor array showed high sensitivity and accuracy for detecting Hg2+, Cd2+, and As3+ without mutual interference or interference from other ions. The linear response ranged from 2.5 pM to 2.5 μM, and the detection limits for Hg2+, Cd2+, and As3+ were 2.0, 0.62, and 0.17 pM, respectively. Furthermore, the potentiometric aptasensor array was successfully applied for the simultaneous detection of three ions in real samples. The results obtained from the developed approach agreed well with the results obtained from inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry.

Abstract
Bacterial infections remain one of the principal causes of morbidity and mortality worldwide. The number of deaths due to infections is declining every year by only 1% with a forecast of 13 million deaths in 2050. Among the 1400 recognized human pathogens, the majority of infectious diseases is caused by just a few, about 20 pathogens only. While the development of vaccinations and novel antibacterial drugs and treatments are at the forefront of research, and strongly financially supported by policy makers, another manner to limit and control infectious outbreaks is targeting the development and implementation of early warning systems, which indicate qualitatively and quantitatively the presence of a pathogen. As toxin contaminated food and drink are a potential threat to human health and consequently have a significant socioeconomic impact worldwide, the detection of pathogenic bacteria remains not only a big scientific challenge but also a practical problem of enormous significance. Numerous analytical methods, including conventional culturing and staining techniques as well as molecular methods based on polymerase chain reaction amplification and immunological assays, have emerged over the years and are used to identify and quantify pathogenic agents. While being highly sensitive in most cases, these approaches are highly time, labor, and cost consuming, requiring trained personnel to perform the frequently complex assays. A great challenge in this field is therefore to develop rapid, sensitive, specific, and if possible miniaturized devices to validate the presence of pathogens in cost and time efficient manners. Electrochemical sensors are well accepted powerful tools for the detection of disease-related biomarkers and environmental and organic hazards. They have also found widespread interest in the last years for the detection of waterborne and foodborne pathogens due to their label free character and high sensitivity. This Review is focused on the current electrochemical-based microorganism recognition approaches and putting them into context of other sensing devices for pathogens such as culturing the microorganism on agar plates and the polymer chain reaction (PCR) method, able to identify the DNA of the microorganism. Recent breakthroughs will be highlighted, including the utilization of microfluidic devices and immunomagnetic separation for multiple pathogen analysis in a single device. We will conclude with some perspectives and outlooks to better understand shortcomings. Indeed, there is currently no adequate solution that allows the selective and sensitive binding to a specific microorganism, that is fast in detection and screening, cheap to implement, and able to be conceptualized for a wide range of biologically relevant targets.

Abstract
While ion to electron transducing layers for the fabrication of potentiometric membrane electrodes for the detection of cations have been well established, similar progress for the sensing of anions has not yet been realized. We report for this reason on a novel approach for the development of all-solid-state anion selective electrodes using lipophilic multiwalled carbon nanotubes (f-MWCNTs) as the inner ion to electron transducing layer. This material can be solvent cast, as it conveniently dissolves in tetrahydrofuran (THF), an important advantage to develop uniform films without the need for using surfactants that might deteriorate the performance of the electrode. Solid contact sensors for carbonate, nitrate, nitrite, and dihydrogen phosphate are fabricated and characterized, and all exhibit comparable analytical characteristics to the inner liquid electrodes. For example, the carbonate sensor exhibits a Nernstian slope of 27.2 ± 0.8 mV·dec(-1), a LOD = 2.3 μM, a response time of 1 s, a linear range of four logarithmic units, and a medium-term stability of 0.04 mV·h(-1) is obtained in a pH 8.6 buffered solution. Water layer test, reversibility, and selectivity for chloride, nitrate, and hydroxide are also reported. The excellent properties of f-MWCNTs as a transducer are contrasted to the deficient performance of poly(3-octyl-thiophene) (POT) for carbonate detection. This is evidenced both with a significant drift in the potentiometric measures as well as a pronounced sensitivity to light (either sunlight or artificial light). This latter aspect may compromise its potential for environmental in situ measurements (night/day cycles). The concentration of carbonate is determined in a river sample (Arve river, Geneva) and compared to a reference method (automatic titrator with potentiometric pH detection). The results suggest that nanostructured materials such as f-MWCNTs are an attractive platform as a general ion-to-electron transducer for anion-selective electrodes.

Abstract
Hydroponics is a water, energy, space, and cost efficient system for growing plants in constrained spaces or land exhausted areas. Precise control of hydroponic nutrients is essential for growing healthy plants and producing high yields. In this article we report for the first time on a new computer-operated analytical platform which can be readily used for the determination of essential nutrients in hydroponic growing systems. The liquid-handling system uses inexpensive components (i.e., peristaltic pump and solenoid valves), which are discretely computer-operated to automatically condition, calibrate and clean a multi-probe of solid-contact ion-selective electrodes (ISEs). These ISEs, which are based on carbon nanotubes, offer high portability, robustness and easy maintenance and storage. With this new computer-operated analytical platform we performed automatic measurements of K(+), Ca(2+), NO3(-) and Cl(-) during tomato plants growth in order to assure optimal nutritional uptake and tomato production.

Abstract
A comparison study on the performance characteristics and surface characterization of two different solid-contact selective potentiometric thrombin aptasensors, one exploiting a network of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) and the other the polyaniline (PANI), both acting as a transducing element, is described in this work. The molecular properties of both SWCNT and PANI surfaces have been modified by covalently linking thrombin binding aptamers as biorecognition elements. The two aptasensors are compared and characterized through potentiometry and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) based on the voltammetric response of multiply charged transition metal cations (such as hexaammineruthenium, [Ru(NH3)6](3+)) bound electrostatically to the DNA probes. The surface densities of aptamers were accurately determined by the integration of the peak for the reduction of [Ru(NH3)6](3+) to [Ru(NH3)6](2+). The differences and the similarities, as well as the transduction mechanism, are also discussed. The sensitivity is calculated as 2.97 mV/decade and 8.03 mV/decade for the PANI and SWCNTs aptasensors, respectively. These results are in accordance with the higher surface density of the aptamers in the SWCNT potentiometric sensor.
