Abstract
Sudan I is an azo dye that causes cancer and is not allowed to be used in food products. The current study focused on the design and manufacture of an electrochemical sensor modified with NiO/SWCNTs, as a nano-catalyst, and 1-hexyl-3-methylimidazolium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide (1H3MIbTMI), as an ionic liquid binder, to monitor Sudan I as azo additive dyes in various food samples. The modified carbon paste electrode (CPE/NiO/SWCNTs/1H3MIbTMI) offered superior electrochemical performance metrics as an analytical sensor to detect trace levels of Sudan I within the concentration range of 1.0 nM-250 μM. The limit of detection was determined as 0.3 nM by the differential pulse voltammetric (DPV) technique. The proposed CPE/NiO/SWCNTs/1H3MIbTMI can be put forward to be employed as an analytical instrument for sensing Sudan I in various culinary sauces, including chili, tomato, and strawberry sauces. The obtained recovery range was determined as 97.6%-104.35%. These findings demonstrated the effectiveness of the newly created material and its potential for usage as a novel analytical instrument.

Electrochemical Sensing of Favipiravir with an Innovative Water-Dispersible Molecularly Imprinted Polymer Based on the Bimetallic Metal-Organic Framework: Comparison of Morphological Effects. BIOSENSORS 2022; 12:bios12090769. [PMID: 36140154 PMCID: PMC9496828 DOI: 10.3390/bios12090769] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/31/2022] [Revised: 09/15/2022] [Accepted: 09/16/2022] [Indexed: 05/22/2023]
Abstract
Molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) are widely used as modifiers in electrochemical sensors due to their high sensitivity and promise of inexpensive mass manufacturing. Here, we propose and demonstrate a novel MIP-sensor that can measure the electrochemical activity of favipiravir (FAV) as an antiviral drug, thereby enabling quantification of the concentration of FAV in biological and river water samples and in real-time. MOF nanoparticles’ application with various shapes to determine FAV at nanomolar concentrations was described. Two different MOF nanoparticle shapes (dodecahedron and sheets) were systematically compared to evaluate the electrochemical performance of FAV. After carefully examining two different morphologies of MIP-Co-Ni@MOF, the nanosheet form showed a higher performance and efficiency than the nanododecahedron. When MIP-Co/Ni@MOF-based and NIP-Co/Ni@MOF electrodes (nanosheets) were used instead, the minimum target concentrations detected were 7.5 × 10−11 (MIP-Co-Ni@MOF) and 8.17 × 10−9 M (NIP-Co-Ni@MOF), respectively. This is a significant improvement (>102), which is assigned to the large active surface area and high fraction of surface atoms, increasing the amount of greater analyte adsorption during binding. Therefore, water-dispersible MIP-Co-Ni@MOF nanosheets were successfully applied for trace-level determination of FAV in biological and water samples. Our findings seem to provide useful guidance in the molecularly imprinted polymer design of MOF-based materials to help establish quantitative rules in designing MOF-based sensors for point of care (POC) systems.

Abstract
4-aminophenol (4-AP) is one of the major environmental pollutants which is broadly exploited as drug intermediate in the pharmaceutical formulations. The extensive release of 4-AP in the environment without treatment has become a serious issue that has led several health effects on humans. This work describe the determination of 4-AP through a new chemically modified sensor based on polyvinyl alcohol functionalized tungsten oxide/reduced graphene oxide (PVA/WO3/rGO) nanocomposite. The fabricated nanocomposite was characterized through XRD and HR-TEM to confirm the crystalline structure with average size of 35.9 nm and 2D texture with ultra-fine sheets. The electrochemical characterization of fabricated sensor was carried out by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) and cyclic voltammetry (CV) to ensure the charge transfer kinetics of modified sensor that revealed high conductivity of PVA/WO3/rGO/GCE. Under optimized conditions e.g. scan rate 80 mV/s, phosphate buffer (pH 6) as supporting electrolyte and potential window from -0.2 to 0.8 V, the prepared sensor showed excellent response for 4-AP. The linear dynamic range of developed method was optimized as 0.003-70 μM. The LOD of fabricated sensor based on PVA/WO3/rGO/GCE for 4-AP was calculated as 0.51 nM. The practical application of PVA/WO3/rGO/GCE was tested in real water and pharmaceutical samples. The fabricated sensor presented here, exhibited exceptional stability and sensitivity than the reported sensors and could be effectively used for the monitoring 4-AP without interferences.

Abstract
For the quantifiable amounts of Telmisartan (TLM) and Hydrochlorothiazide (HYD) in the presence of Amlodipine (AML) in a ternary mixture of synthetic laboratory mixture, a novel, sensitive, quick, and practical reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography (RP-HPLC) method was given. In order to separate, a Waters Spherisorb ODS-2 C18 column was used. For HYD, TLM, and AML, these techniques were viable over linearity ranges of 4-12 μg/mL, 4-25 μg/mL, and 5-40 μg/mL, respectively. The mobile phase system was acetonitrile:methanol: phosphate buffer at pH 2.5 (65:5:30 v/v/v), and the flow rate was 1.5 mL/min. Novel spectrophotometric methods were applied for active substances to determine simultaneously. The first method is absorptivity centering using factorized spectrum, and the second method is dual amplitude difference coupled with absorbance subtraction. These approaches have been effectively applied to bulk, laboratory synthetic mixtures to employ active components quantitatively. Correlation coefficients were found to be higher than 0.99 and the limit of detection values lower than 0.49 μg/mL in both spectrophotometric methods. The methodologies were validated following ICH recommendations. In the developed HPLC method, the limit of detection values was found to be 0.01 μg/mL for HYD and 0.02 μg/mL for AML and TLM. The correlation coefficients for the HPLC method were found to be 0.9971 for HYD, 0.9990 for AML, and 0.9983 for TLM. The suggested HPLC technique is a simple, effective, sensitive, environmentally friendly, and time-saving approach for determining TLM and HYD in the presence of AML.

Abstract
Over the past few decades, phenolic compounds have been broadly exploited in the industries to be utilized in several applications including polycarbonate plastic, food containers, epoxy resins, etc. One of the major compounds in phenolics is Bisphenol-S (BPS) which has dominantly replaced Bisphenol-A in several applications. Phenolic compounds are extensively drained into the environment without proper treatment and cause several health hazards. Thus, to tackle this serious problem an electrochemical sensor based on SnO2/GCE has been successfully engineered to monitor the low-level concentration of BPS in water samples. The fabrication of SnO2 nanoparticles (SnO2 NPs) was confirmed through FTIR, XRD, and TEM to examine the size, crystallinity, internal texture, and functionalities of the prepared material. The fabricated material was exploited as a chemically modified sensor for the determination of BPS in water samples collected from different sources. Under optimal conditions such as scan sweep 100 mV/s, PBS electrolyte pH of 6, potential window (0.3-1.3 V), the proposed sensor manifested an excellent response for BPS. The LOD of the present method for BPS was calculated as 0.007 μM, respectively. Moreover, the stability and selectivity profile of SnO2/GCE for BPS in the real matrix was examined to be outstanding.

Abstract
Liver and pancreatic tumors are among the third leading causes of cancer-associated death worldwide. In addition to poor prognosis, both cancer types are diagnosed at advanced and metastatic stages without typical prior symptoms. Unfortunately, the existing theranostic approaches are inefficient in cancer diagnosis and treatment. Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) have attracted increasing attention in this context due to their distinct properties, including variable functionalization capability, biocompatibility, and excellent thermodynamic and optical features. As a consequence, they are now regarded as one of the most promising materials for this application. The current review aims to summarize and discuss the role of CNT in pancreatic and liver cancer theranostics. Accordingly, the breakthroughs achieved so far are classified based on the cancer type and analyzed in detail. The most feasible tactics utilizing CNT-based solutions for both cancer diagnosis and treatment are presented from the biomedical point of view. Finally, a future outlook is provided, which anticipates how the R&D community can build on the already developed methodologies and the subsequent biological responses of the pancreatic and liver cancer cells to the directed procedures.

Abstract
In this work, europium ion was doped into boron phosphate nanoparticles (BPO4) using an ultrasonic method followed by the calcination process. The nanoparticles were characterized by various techniques such as X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), photoluminescence spectroscopy, transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), Raman spectroscopy, and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Doping of europium ion into the BPO4 host crystal was proved by cell volume calculation from XRD patterns, the shift in Raman spectra, and photoluminescence properties. In addition, the europium doped boron phosphate (BPE) as a fluorescence sensor for the quantification of Zn2+ cation was studied. The obtained results showed the enhancement and shift of the photoluminescence peak from 292 to 340 nm. The sensor's selectivity toward this ion was verified in the presence of a variety of common interfering cations. Surprisingly, BPE revealed excellent selectivity and sensitivity towards Zn2+ in the presence of Pb2+, Na+, Fe2+, Al3+, Ca2+, Mg2+, Cu2+, Co2+, Ni2+, Mn2+, Cd2+, Hg2+, Ba2+ and Fe3+ cations. The fluorescence response was linearly proportional to the Zn2+concentration. After the addition of trace amounts of Zn2+ ions into the aqueous solution, a significant enhancement of fluorescence emission occurred with the detection limit of 0.3 μM.

Abstract
The determination of food additives is one of the major points in the food industry that directly is relative to human health. This research work focused on sensing and monitoring sunset yellow as azo additive dyes in fruit juices using an electrochemical sensor amplified with Ni doped Pt decorated carbon nanotubes (NiO/Pt/CNTs) as nano-catalyst and 1-hexyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride ([HMIM][Cl]) as an ionic liquid binder. Carbon paste electrode (CPE) amplified with NiO/Pt/CNTs and [HMIM][Cl] (CPE/([HMIM][Cl])/NiO/Pt/CNTs) improved the sensitivity of sunset yellow sensing in aqueous solution in acidic condition and successfully monitored this azo dye in concentration range 1.0 nM-280 μM with detection limit 0.4 nM. On the other hand, the CPE/([HMIM][Cl])/NiO/Pt/CNTs was used for sensing and analysis of sunset yellow in different fruit juices, and recovery data between 98.65% and 103.66% confirmed the powerful ability of sensor for monitoring of sunset yellow in food samples.

Abstract
The drastic increases in the concentration of heavy metals ions in the environment have become a serious concern for a number of years. Heavy metals pose serious impacts on human and aquatic life and cause severe health hazards. Amongst heavy metals, cadmium is known for its lethal effects on human health as it easily reacts with enzymes and creates free radicals in the biological system that causes carcinogenicity and other serious diseases. Thus, to tackle this challenge, TX-100 SnO2 nanoparticles based chemically modified sensor is introduced to assess the quantity of Cd+2 in the water system. The engineered SnO2 nanoparticles were electrochemically characterized through cyclic voltammetry and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy to ensure the better charge transfer kinetics and electrocatalytic properties of fabricated sensors. Under the optimized conditions e.g., scan rate 80 mV/s, PBS electrolyte pH 7, and potential window (-0.2 to -1.4 V), the engineered TX-100/SnO2/GCE-based sensor manifested a phenomenal response for cadmium ions in water media. The LOD and LOQ of developed TX-100/SnO2/GCE were calculated in the nanomolar range as 0.0084 nM and 0.27 nM. The recovery values of the proposed method for Cd+2 were found in an acceptable limit that witnesses the effectiveness of the fabricated sensor. Moreover, the excellent stability and anti-interference behavior of the sensor highlights its dynamic profile to be commercially utilized for the determination of Cd+2 ions in water bodies.

Abstract
Pollution due to heavy metals is a global issue in recent years. Initially, there were fewer contaminants, which has increased exponentially owing to rapid industrialization and various anthropogenic activities. Toxicity due to heavy metals causes a lot of health problems and organ system failure in human beings. It also affects other forms of living beings such as plants, animals and even the microbiota. This has been reported by various press reports and research findings. In this review, the production of heavy metals, associated effects on the environment and the technologies employed for detecting these heavy metals are comprehensively discussed. The analytical instruments, including biosensors, have been found to be more beneficial than other techniques. Biosensor exhibits numerous special features, such as reproducibility, reusability, linearity, sensitivity, selectivity, and stability. Over the last three years, biosensors have also had a detection limit of 65.36 ng/mL for heavy metals. The design of biosensors, features and types were also explained in detail. The limit of detection for the heavy metals in wastewater using biosensors was also included with recent references up to the last five years.

Abstract
In this research, an electrochemical sensor was fabricated employing the metal-organic framework (MOF) deposited glassy carbon electrode (GCE) for the sensing copper ions in water with high sensitivity. The porous nanostructured MOF was characterized through Transmission electron microscope, scanning electron microscope and X-ray diffraction analysis. The Bi-MOF nanostructure deposited GCE (Bi-MOF/GCE) was fabricated by drop-casting a suspension of Bi-MOF in water on GCE surface. The performance of modified electrode in the presence and absence of heavy metal ions such as Cd2+, Hg2+ As3+, Pb2+ and Cu2+ was determined by the cyclic voltammetry in deionised water within the scan rate range of 25 and 300 mVs-1. The Bi-MOF/GCE displayed highest anodic and cathodic peak current for Cu2+ ions than other metal ions, which was enhanced linearly within the scan rate range of 10-100 mV s-1. Under the employed experimental conditions, the fabricated Bi-MOF/GCE based electrochemical sensor showed an outstanding routine in the determination of copper with a lowest sensing limit of 1 × 10-5 M, wide linear range variation, strong interaction between metal ions and Bi-MOF. It has long-term stability and good reproducibility. The Bi-MOF/GCE electrode was successfully tested to detect Cu2+ in tap water with acceptable results.

Abstract
In recent years, wearable sensors have enabled the unique mode of real-time and noninvasive monitoring to develop rapidly in medical care, sports, and other fields. Sweat contains a wide range of biomarkers such as metabolites, electrolytes, and various hormones. Combined with wearable technology, sweat can reflect human fatigue, disease, mental stress, dehydration, and so on. This paper comprehensively describes the analysis of sweat components such as glucose, lactic acid, electrolytes, pH, cortisol, vitamins, ethanol, and drugs by wearable sensing technology, and the application of sweat wearable devices in glasses, patches, fabrics, tattoos, and paper. The development trend of sweat wearable devices is prospected. It is believed that if the sweat collection, air permeability, biocompatibility, sensing array construction, continuous monitoring, self-healing technology, power consumption, real-time data transmission, specific recognition, and other problems of the wearable sweat sensor are solved, we can provide the wearer with important information about their health level in the true sense.

Abstract
The current work introduced a novel electrochemical sensor (screen-printed graphite electrode (SPGE) modified with MnO2 nanorods anchored graphene oxide nanocomposite (MnO2 NRs/GO) for sensitive determination of sunset yellow. The characterization of MnO2 NRs/GO nanocomposite synthesized through a simple hydrothermal approach was determined employing varied analytical equipment like Field emission-scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), and X-ray diffraction (XRD). Chronoamperometric measurements, differential pulse voltammetry (DPV), cyclic voltammetry (CV) and linear sweep voltammetry (LSV) were recruited to recognize the electrochemical oxidation of sunset yellow on the MnO2 NRs/GO/SPGE. The results of CV proved that the as-synthesized MnO2 NRs/GO nanocomposite has a good electrocatalytic activity toward sunset yellow. The MnO2 NRs/GO/SPGE electrode under optimized conditions using the DPV possessed a linear response for different concentrations of sunset yellow (between 0.01 and 115.0 μM) with a low limit of detection (LOD) (0.008 μM). Finally, the impressive applicability of this sensor was confirmed via real sample analysis with excellent recoveries (between 97.3 and 104.6%).

Abstract
This study provides a comprehensive review of the latest developments in the electrochemical impressions of the important dyestuffs including amaranth and carminic acid. Food colors are organic substances that have important effects on human health and food safety. While these substances do not pose a problem when used in the daily intake (ADI) amounts, they harm human health when consumed excessively. Amaranth and carminic acid are synthetic and natural food colors ingredients, respectively. Analysis of these substances in food, pharmaceutical, cosmetic and textile samples is extremely important because of their genotoxicity, cytostatic and cytotoxic effects. Electroanalytical methods, which have great advantages over traditional analytical methods, shed light on the scientific world. Electrochemical monitoring modules, which are fast, simple, accurate, reliable, and highly selective, are promising for the determination of both substances. Until now, amaranth and carminic acid food determinations have been carried out successfully with electrochemical monitoring techniques in many numbers in the literature. Voltammetric techniques are the most widely used among these electroanalytical methods. In particular, square wave and differential pulse voltammetric techniques, which have extraordinary properties, have been heavily preferred. Limits of detection (LOD) comparable to the standard analytical method have been achieved using these methods, which have very quick analysis durations, high precision and accuracy, do not require long preprocessing, and have great selectivity. In addition, more sensitive and selective analyses of amaranth and carminic acid in natural samples were carried out with numerous indicator electrodes. The merits of powerful electrochemical monitoring studies for the determination of both food colors during the last decade are presented in this study. Moreover, parameters such as analytical applications, detection limits, electrochemical methods, selectivity, working electrodes, and working ranges are summarized in detail.

Abstract
![]()
Biodegradable polymeric
biomaterials offer a significant advantage
in disposable or fast-consuming products in medical applications.
Poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyvalerate) (PHBV)
is an example of a polyhydroxyalkanoate (PHA), i.e., one group of
natural polyesters that are byproducts of reactions taking place in
microorganisms in conditions with an excess carbon source. PHA polymers
are a promising material for the production of everyday materials
and biomedical applications. Due to the high number of monomers in
the group, PHAs permit modifications enabling the production of copolymers
of different compositions and with different proportions of individual
monomers. In order to change and improve the properties of polymer
fibers, PHAs are combined with either other natural and synthetic
polymers or additives of inorganic phases. Importantly, electrospun
PHBV fibers and mats showed an enormous potential in both the medical
field (tissue engineering scaffolds, plasters, wound healing, drug
delivery systems) and industrial applications (filter systems, food
packaging). This Review summarizes the current state of the art in
processing PHBV, especially by electrospinning, its degradation processes,
and biocompatibility studies, starting from a general introduction
to the PHA group of polymers.
