Abstract
High-throughput sensors are valuable tools for enabling massive, fast, and accurate diagnostics. To yield this type of electrochemical device in a simple and low-cost way, high-density arrays of vertical gold thin-film microelectrode-based sensors are demonstrated, leading to the rapid and serial interrogation of dozens of samples (10 μL droplets). Based on 16 working ultramicroelectrodes (UMEs) and 3 quasi-reference electrodes (QREs), a total of 48 sensors were engineered in a 3D crossbar arrangement that devised a low number of conductive lines. By exploiting this design, a compact chip (75 × 35 mm) can enable performing 16 sequential analyses without intersensor interferences by dropping one sample per UME finger. In practice, the electrical connection to the sensors was achieved by simply switching the contact among WE adjacent fingers. Importantly, a short analysis time was ensured by interrogating the UMEs with chronoamperometry or square wave voltammetry using a low-cost and hand-held one-channel potentiostat. As a proof of concept, the detection of Staphylococcus aureus in 15 samples was performed within 14 min (20 min incubation and 225 s reading). Additionally, the implementation of peptide-tethered immunosensors in these chips allowed the screening of COVID-19 from patient serum samples with 100% accuracy. Our experiments also revealed that dispensing additional droplets on the array (in certain patterns) results in the overestimation of the faradaic current signals, a phenomenon referred to as crosstalk. To address this interference, a set of analyses was conducted to design a corrective strategy that boosted the testing capacity by allowing using all on-chip sensors to address subsequent analyses (i.e., 48 samples simultaneously dispensed on the chip). This strategy only required grounding the unused rows of QRE and can be broadly adopted to develop high-throughput UME-based sensors. In practice, we could analyze 48 droplets (with [Fe(CN)6]4-) within ∼8 min using amperometry.

Abstract
The 96 laser-induced multigraphene electrode (96L-MGE) integrated microwell plate (96 L-MGE-MP) is described. Each cell includes separate working, auxiliary, and reference electrodes, and the array sits on a poly-methyl methacrylate (PMMA) well. The 96 electrochemical cells were fabricated by laser ablation of polyimide adhesive tape, which created laser-induced graphene electrodes (L-GE). The microwell was produced using laser ablation of the PMMA sheet as well. The morphology and electrochemical characterization of L-GE were controlled by tuning the laser processing. L-GE fabricated at laser power-laser speed ratios of 0.008-0.02 W s mm-1displayed good electrochemical behaviors. Under the optimal condition of L-GE fabrication, the measured L-GE surface roughness was 475.47 nm. The 96 L-MGE can be fabricated in 24.2 min and is compatible with various analytes. 10 benchmark redox compounds were shown as electrocatalytic examples. The performance of each analyte was investigated by voltammetry. As proof of concept, 96 L-MGE-MP was connected to a 96× connector for multichannel detection. The RSD of the 96 L-MGE-MPwas below 5.3%, which demonstrated good fabrication reproducibility.

Abstract
The introduced work represents an implementation of the automatic benchtop electrochemical station (BES) as an effective tool for the possibilities of high-throughput preparation of modified sensor/biosensors, speeding up the development of the analytical method, and automation of the analytical procedure for the determination of paracetamol (PAR) and dopamine (DOP) as target analytes. Within the preparation of gold nanoparticles modified screen-printed carbon electrode (AuNPs-SPCE) by electrodeposition, the deposition potential EDEP, the deposition time tDEP, and the concentration of HAuCl4 were optimized and their influence was monitored on 1 mM [Ru(NH3)6]3+/2+ redox probe and 50 μM DOP. The morphology of the AuNPs-SPCE prepared at various modification conditions was observed by SEM. The analytical performance of the AuNPs-SPCE prepared at different modification conditions was evaluated by a construction of the calibration curves of DOP and PAR. SPCE and AuNPs-SPCE at modification condition providing the best sensitivity to PAR and DOP, were successfully used to determine PAR and DOP in tap water by "spike-recovery" approach. The BES yields better reproducibility of the preparation of AuNPs-SPCE (RSD = 3.0%) in comparison with the case when AuNPs-SPCE was prepared manually by highly skilled laboratory operator (RSD = 7.0%).

Bipolar Clark-Type Oxygen Electrode Arrays for Imaging and Multiplexed Measurements of the Respiratory Activity of Cells. ACS OMEGA 2024; 9:10825-10833.

Abstract
Various miniature Clark-type oxygen electrodes (COEs), which are typically used to measure dissolved oxygen (DO) concentration in cellular respiration, have been developed since the 1980s. Arrays with individually addressable electrodes that constitute the sensor were used for various applications. However, the large number of leads and contact pads required for connecting the electrodes and the external instrument complicate the electrode layout and make the operation of integrated COE arrays challenging. Here, we fabricated closed bipolar electrochemical systems comprising 6 × 8 and 4 × 4 arrays of COEs for imaging and multiplexed detection. The cathodic compartment was sealed with a hydrophobic oxygen-permeable membrane to separate the internal electrolyte solution from the sample solutions. Using the bipolar Clark-type oxygen electrode (BCOE) arrays and electrochemiluminescence (ECL), we measured the DO concentration at each cathode. The results revealed that the ECL intensity changed linearly with the DO concentration. In addition, we used ECL imaging to investigate the respiratory activity of Escherichia coli (E. coli) and Pseudomonas aeruginosa (P. aeruginosa) in suspensions with different cell densities. The ECL images showed that the ECL intensity changed noticeably with the bacterial density. The bacterial respiratory activity was then qualitatively analyzed based on the ECL images acquired successively over a time duration. Further, we measured the antibiotic efficacy of piperacillin, oxacillin, gentamicin, and cefmetazole against E. coli and P. aeruginosa using the BCOE. We found that the ECL intensity increased with the antibiotic concentration, thus indicating the suppression of the bacterial respiratory activity.

Abstract
The microfluidic technology provides an ideal platform for in situ screening of enzyme inhibitors and activators from natural products. This work described a surface-modified ITO glass-PDMS hybrid microfluidic chip for evaluating thrombin interaction with its potential inhibitors by fluorescence imaging and matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometry imaging (MALDI MSI). The fluorescence-labeled substrate was immobilized on a conductive ITO glass slide coated with gold nanoparticles/thiol-β-cyclodextrin modified TiO2 nanowires (Au-β-CD@TiO2 NWs) via Au-S bonds. A PDMS microchannel plate was placed on top of the modified ITO slide. The premixed solutions of thrombin and candidate thrombin inhibitors were infused into the microchannels to form a microreactor environment. The enzymatic reaction was rapidly monitored by fluorescence microscopy, and MALDI MS was used to validate and quantify the enzymatic hydrolysate of thrombin to determine the enzyme kinetic process and inhibitory activities of selected flavonoids. The fluorescence and MALDI MS results showed that luteolin, cynaroside, and baicalin have good thrombin inhibitory activity and their half-maximal inhibitory concentrations (IC50) were below 30 μM. The integration of fluorescence imaging and MALDI MSI for in situ monitoring and quantifying the enzymatic reaction in a microfluidic chip is capable of rapid and accurate screening of thrombin inhibitors from natural products.

Abstract
Nanoscale technologies have brought significant advancements to modern diagnostics, enabling unprecedented bio-chemical sensitivities that are key to disease monitoring. At the same time, miniaturized biosensors and their integration across large areas enabled tessellating these into high-density biosensing panels, a key capability for the development of high throughput monitoring: multiple patients as well as multiple analytes per patient. This review provides a critical overview of various nanoscale biosensing technologies and their ability to unlock high testing throughput without compromising detection resilience. We report on the challenges and opportunities each technology presents along this direction and present a detailed analysis on the prospects of both commercially available and emerging biosensing technologies.

Abstract
Bipolar electrodes (BPEs) with arrays of cathodic and anodic poles were developed for use in closed bipolar systems. To increase the number of BPEs in the array, the anodic and cathodic poles were connected with each other using thin leads. A further increase in the number of BPEs was achieved by forming the cathodic and anodic poles of the BPEs and the leads in different layers. A device with 9 × 10 arrays of cathodes and anodes was thus realized. When using this device to sense hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), the sensitivity and linear range of calibration plots could be adjusted by changing the driving voltage and the area ratio between the cathodic and anodic poles. The devices were used to image H2O2 and obtain time-lapse images for the diffusion and dilution of H2O2. Furthermore, DNA detection was demonstrated using an electroactive intercalator. The sensitivity could be improved by making the anodic poles smaller with respect to the cathodic pole and concentrating the electrochemiluminescence (ECL) in a small area. The ECL intensity changed according to the target DNA concentration in the solution.

Abstract
This work reports on the fabrication and performance of a new on-chip array of gold thin-film electrodes arranged into five individually addressable miniaturized electrochemical cells. Each cell shows a two-electrode configuration comprising a single working electrode and a counter/pseudo-reference electrode that is compartmentalized to be shared among all the cells of the array. Using this configuration, just six contact pads are required, which significantly reduces the chip overall surface area. Electrochemical characterization studies are carried out in solutions containing the two species of reversible redox pairs. The concentration of one redox species can reliably be measured at the working electrode by applying potentiostatic techniques to record the current due to the corresponding electrochemical reaction. The redox counterpart in turn undergoes an electrochemical process at the counter/pseudo-reference electrode, which, under optimized experimental conditions, injects current and keeps the applied potential in the electrochemical cell without limiting the current being recorded at the working electrode. Under these conditions, the electrode array shows an excellent performance in electrochemical detection studies without any chemical or electrical cross-talk between cells. The enzymatic activity of horseradish peroxidase, alkaline phosphatase and myeloperoxidase enzymes is analyzed using different redox mediators. Quasi-simultaneous measurements with the five electrochemical cells of the array are carried out within 1 s time frame. This array layout can be suitable for multiplexed electrochemical immunoassays and immunosensor approaches and implementation in simplified electrochemical ELISA platforms that make use of enzyme labels. Moreover, the array reduced dimensions facilitate the integration into compact fluidic devices.

Abstract
The development of in situ methods for the analysis and visualization of enzyme activity is of paramount importance in drug discovery, research, and development. In this work, the functionalized and array patterned indium tin oxide (ITO) glass slides were fabricated by non-covalent immobilization of amphipathic phospholipid-tagged peptides encompassing the thrombin cleavage site on steric acid-modified ITO slides. The fabricated peptide arrays provide 60 spots per slide, and are compatible with matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometry (MALDI MS) measurement, free matrix peak interference, and tolerance to repeated aqueous washing. The peptide arrays were used for the investigation of thrombin activity and screening for its potential inhibitors. The thrombin activity and its Michaelis-Menten constant (Km) for immobilized peptide substrate was determined using developed MALDI MS peptide array. To investigate the applicability and effectiveness of peptide arrays, the anti-thrombin activity of grape seed proanthocyanidins with different degrees of polymerization (DP) was monitored and visualized. MALDI MS imaging results showed that the fractions of proanthocyanidins with the mean DP of 4.61-6.82 had good thrombin inhibitory activity and their half-maximal inhibitory concentration (IC50) were below 10 μg/mL. Therefore, the developed peptide array is a reliable platform for the discovery of natural thrombin inhibitors.

Abstract
Electrochemistry provides possibilities to realize smart microdevices of the next generation with high functionalities. Electrodes, which constitute major components of electrochemical devices, can be formed by various microfabrication techniques, and integration of the same (or different) components for that purpose is not difficult. Merging this technique with microfluidics can further expand the areas of application of the resultant devices. To augment the development of next generation devices, it will be beneficial to review recent technological trends in this field and clarify the directions required for moving forward. Even when limiting the discussion to electrochemical microdevices, a variety of useful techniques should be considered. Therefore, in this review, we attempted to provide an overview of all relevant techniques in this context in the hope that it can provide useful comprehensive information.

Abstract
In bioelectrocatalysis, immobilised redox enzymes are activated in a bioelectronic interface without redox equivalents such as NADPH, thus enabling heterogeneous flow chemistry. The functional contact between enzyme and electrode requires a high degree of optimisation regarding choice of electrode material, electrode pre-treatment, enzyme immobilisation and reaction conditions. So far, however, there are no systems that can easily enable an optimisation procedure at a higher throughput. Here, we present an advanced platform with a vertical divided cell architecture in conjunction with a developed 96-multipotentiostat to be able to drive redox enzymes in 96 well microtiter plate based multielectrode arrays. This platform controls 96 independent three-electrode setups with arbitrary working electrode materials. We demonstrate its applicability in a mutation study of cytochrome P450 BM3 using indium tin oxide as electrode material and the 7-ethoxycoumarin product quantification assay. We show that the bioelectrocatalytic activity of P450 BM3 can be amplified when the cofactor FAD is erased from the enzyme by a single point mutation, so that FMN becomes the first electron entry point. Bioelectrocatalysis thus offers an approach to enzyme simplification as a remedy for the inherent instability of self-sufficient cytochrome P450 enzymes. In addition, we examined native and artificial enzyme activation with respect to ionic strength and buffer composition. The optimal conditions of the activation types differ substantially from each other and exhibit a new molecular facet in enzyme characteristics. In a proof-of-principle we demonstrate that the platform is also compatible with raw cell extracts, thus opening the door for random mutagenesis screenings.

Abstract
Escherichia coli's copper efflux oxidase (CueO) has rarely been employed in the cathodic compartment of enzymatic biofuel cells (EBFCs) due to its low redox potential (0.36 V vs. Ag/AgCl, pH 5.5) towards O2 reduction. Herein, directed evolution of CueO towards a more positive onset potential was performed in an electrochemical screening system. An improved CueO variant (D439T/L502K) was obtained with a significantly increased onset potential (0.54 V), comparable to that of high-redox-potential fungal laccases. Upon coupling with an anodic compartment, the EBFC exhibited an open-circuit voltage (Voc ) of 0.56 V. Directed enzyme evolution by tailoring enzymes to application conditions in EBFCs has been validated and might, in combination with molecular understanding, enable future breakthroughs in EBFC performance.

Abstract
Transketolases (TKs) are ubiquitous thiamine pyrophosphate (TPP)-dependent enzymes of the nonoxidative branch of the pentose phosphate pathway. They are considered as interesting therapeutic targets in numerous diseases and infections (e.g., cancer, tuberculosis, malaria), for which it is important to find specific and efficient inhibitors. Current TK assays require important amounts of enzyme, are time-consuming, and are not specific. Here, we report a new high throughput electrochemical assay based on the oxidative trapping of the TK-TPP intermediate. After electrode characterization, the enzyme loading, electrochemical protocol, and substrate concentration were optimized. Finally, 96 electrochemical assays could be performed in parallel in only 7 min, which allows a rapid screening of TK inhibitors. Then, 1360 molecules of an in-house chemical library were screened and one early lead compound was identified to inhibit TK from E. coli with an IC50 of 63 μM and an inhibition constant ( KI) of 3.4 μM. The electrochemical assay was also used to propose an inhibition mechanism.

Abstract
Multicopper oxidases (MCOs) catalyzed two half reactions (linked by an intramolecular electron transfer) through a Ping-Pong mechanism: the substrate oxidation followed by the O2 reduction. MCOs have been characterized in details in solution or immobilized on electrode surfaces. The nature of the rate-limiting steps, which is controversial in the literature, is discussed in this mini review for both cases. Deciphering such rate-limiting steps is of particular importance to efficiently use MCOs in any applications requiring the reduction of O2 to water. Limiting rate constant of multicopper oxidase in solution is discussed. Limiting rate constant of immobilized multicopper oxidase is discussed. Homogeneous and heterogeneous enzyme kinetics are compared.

Abstract
α-Methylacyl-CoA racemase (AMACR; P504S) catalyses a key step in the degradation of branched-chain fatty acids and is important for the pharmacological activation of Ibuprofen and related drugs. Levels of AMACR are increased in prostate and other cancers, and it is a drug target. Development of AMACR as a drug target is hampered by lack of a convenient assay. AMACR irreversibly catalyses the elimination of HF from 3-fluoro-2-methylacyl-CoA substrates, and this reaction was investigated for use as an assay. Several known inhibitors and alternative substrates reduced conversion of 3-fluoro-2-methyldecanoyl-CoA by AMACR, as determined by (1)H NMR. The greatest reduction of activity was observed with known potent inhibitors. A series of novel acyl-CoA esters with aromatic side chains were synthesised for testing as chromophoric substrates. These acyl-CoA esters were converted to unsaturated products by AMACR, but their use was limited by non-enzymatic elimination. Fluoride sensors were also investigated as a method of quantifying released fluoride and thus AMACR activity. These sensors generally suffered from high background signal and lacked reproducibility under the assay conditions. In summary, the elimination reaction can be used to characterise inhibitors, but it was not possible to develop a convenient colorimetric or fluorescent assay using 3-fluoro-2-methylacyl-CoA substrates.

Abstract
Screen printing technology provides a cheap and easy means to fabricate disposable electrochemical devices in bulk quantities which are used for rapid, low-cost, on-site, real-time and recurrent industrial, pharmaceutical or environmental analyses. Recent developments in micro-fabrication and nano-characterization made it possible to screen print reproducible feature on materials including plastics, ceramics and metals. The processed features forms screen-printed disposable biochip (SPDB) upon the application of suitable bio-chemical recognition receptors following appropriate methods. Adequacy of biological and non-biological materials is the key to successful biochip development. We can further improve recognition ability of SPDBs by adopting new screen printed electrode (SPE) configurations. This review covers screen-printing theory with special emphasis on the technical impacts of SPE architectures, surface treatments, operational stability and signal sensitivity. The application of SPE in different areas has also been summarized. The article aims to highlight the state-of-the-art of SPDB at the laboratory scale to enable us in envisaging the deployment of emerging SPDB technology on the commercial scale.

Abstract
Current-time and steady state current behaviour was simulated for the cases of a hemispherical and flat inlaid disk electrodes located under a hemispherical polymer drop containing an enzyme which converts a substrate diffusing into the drop into a product that is electroactive at the electrode. As well, a cylindrical electrode with length much greater than its diameter and coated with a layer of polymer/enzyme was treated. The ratio of steady state currents at the hemispherical to the disk electrode is not, as has sometimes been assumed, always equal to π/2; indeed this is only approached for polymer drops with large spillover ratio, that is, having a radius much larger than that of the electrodes. Steady state currents for all electrode geometries (including the cylinder) go through a maximum for some spillover ratio and then approach a constant value for larger spillover ratios. This constant value is the same as that for the diffusion limited current in a semi-infinite medium. For a cylindrical electrode, the steady state current tends towards zero for large spillover ratios.
