Abstract
Graphitic pencil leads (PLs) are inexpensive writing accessories, readily available in stationery shops. Because the round filaments have high conductivity, they are excellent candidates for sustainable electroanalytical sensor fabrication. Here, we show that dip-coated carbon nanotube (CNT) surface deposits can stably enhance the faradaic redox response of cylindrical pencil lead electrodes (PLEs), with just ten simple sequential immersions of assembled PLEs in an aqueous suspension of CNTs producing significant improvement in their analytical performance. Cyclic (CV) and differential pulse (DPV) voltammetry of ferricyanide with unmodified and CNT-modified PLEs confirmed the reproducibility of the modification procedure and the reliability of the extent of signal amplification, as well as the stability of the response. A series of DPV tests with drugs, an environmental pollutant, an enzyme-substrate redox label and an industrial chemical proved the practical applicability of the proposed CNT-PLEs. Based on their observed properties, PLEs with dip-coated CNT deposits are suggested as cost-effective tools for advanced electroanalysis and as green platforms for enzyme biosensor construction.

Electro-oxidation sensing of sumatriptan in aqueous solutions and human blood serum by Zn(II)-MOF modified electrochemical delaminated pencil graphite electrode. Sci Rep 2023; 13:16803.

Abstract
An electrochemical sensory platform is presented for determination of sumatriptan (SUM) in aqueous solutions and human blood serum. A pencil graphite electrode (PGE) was electrochemically delaminated by cyclic voltammetry technique, and then further modified using nanoparticles of a zinc-based metal-organic framework (Zn(II)-MOF). The fabricated Zn(II)-MOF/EDPGE electrode was utilized for sensitive electrochemical detection of SUM via an electro-oxidation reaction. The Zn(II)-MOF was hydrothermally synthesized and characterized by various techniques. The electrochemical delamination of PGE results in a porous substrate, facilitating the effective immobilization of the modifier. The designed sensor benefits from both enhanced surface area and an accelerated electron transfer rate, as evidenced by the chronocoulogram and Nyquist plots. Under optimized conditions, the developed sensor exhibited a linear response for 0.99-9.52 µM SUM solutions. A short response time of 5 s was observed for the fabricated sensor and the detection limit was found to be 0.29 μM. Selectivity of Zn(II)-MOF/EDPGE towards SUM was evaluated by examining the interference effect of codeine, epinephrine, acetaminophen, ascorbic acid, and uric acid, which are commonly found in biological samples. The developed sensor shows excellent performance with recovery values falling within the range of 96.6 to 111% for the analysis of SUM in human blood serum samples.

Abstract
Methamphetamine (MAP) is a highly addictive and illegal stimulant drug that has a significant impact on the central nervous system. Its detection in biological and street samples is crucial for various organizations involved in forensic medicine, anti-drug efforts, and clinical diagnosis. In recent years, nanotechnology and nanomaterials have played a significant role in the development of analytical sensors for MAP detection. In this study, a fast, simple, and cost-effective electrochemical sensor is presented that is used for the sensitive detection of MAP in confiscated street samples with a complex matrix. The optimized screen-printed sensor based on a carbon working electrode modified with graphene demonstrated an excellent limit of detection, good sensitivity, and a wide dynamic range (1-500 μM) for the target illicit drug both for standard solutions and real samples (seized samples, tap water, and wastewater samples). It can detect MAP at concentrations as low as 300 nM in real samples. This limit of detection is suitable for the rapid preliminary screening of suspicious samples in customs, ports, airports, and on the street. Furthermore, the sensor exhibits a good recovery rate, indicating its reliability and repeatability. This quality is crucial for ensuring consistent and accurate results during screening processes.

Abstract
Methamphetamine (MA) is a synthetic psychoactive drug which is consumed both licitly and illicitly. In some countries it is prescribed for attention-deficit and hyperactivity disorder, and short-term treatment of obesity. More often though, it is abused for its psychostimulant properties. Unfortunately, the spread and abuse of this synthetic drug have increased globally, being reported as the most widely consumed synthetic psychoactive drug in the world in 2019. Attempting to overcome the shortcomings of the currently used on-site methods for MA detection in suspected cargos, the present study explores the potential of electrochemical identification of MA by means of square wave voltammetry on disposable graphite screen-printed electrodes. Hence, the analytical characterization of the method was evaluated under optimal conditions exhibiting a linear range between 50 μM and 2.5 mM MA, a LOD of 16.7 μM, a LOQ of 50.0 μM and a sensitivity of 5.3 μA mM-1. Interestingly, two zones in the potential window were identified for the detection of MA, depending on its concentration in solution. Furthermore, the oxidative pathway of MA was elucidated employing liquid chromatography - mass spectrometry to understand the change in the electrochemical profile. Thereafter, the selectivity of the method towards MA in mixtures with other drugs of abuse as well as common adulterants/cutting agents was evaluated. Finally, the described method was employed for the analysis of MA in confiscated samples and compared with forensic methods, displaying its potential as a fast and easy-to-use method for on-site analysis.

Abstract
DNA aptamers have emerged as promising probes for challenging analytes that cannot be easily detected by conventional probes, including small-molecule targets. Among the different signal transduction approaches, gold nanoparticle (AuNP) aggregation assays have been widely used to generate a colorimetric response from aptamer-target interactions. This sensor design relies on the competition between the aptamer adsorbing to the AuNP surface versus interacting with the target, whereby target binding reduces the number of adsorbed aptamers that destabilizes AuNPs toward salt-induced aggregation, thereby inducing a color change. However, this thermodynamic framework overlooks the potential influence of interaction kinetics of different aptamer conformations with AuNP surfaces and with targets in solution or near surfaces. Here, we show that aptamers become more strongly adsorbed on AuNPs over time, and these trapped aptamers are less responsive toward the target analyte. By varying the sequence of addition in sensing assays, we demonstrate that these interaction kinetics have a significant effect on the sensor response and thereby produce an effective sensor for methamphetamine (meth) at biologically relevant levels in oral fluids. Along with underpinning new tools for assay development, this new knowledge also highlights the need for aptamer selection strategies that evolve aptamer sequences based on the functionality that they need to exhibit in an actual sensor.

Abstract
The availability of sensing platforms able to rapidly measure abused drugs directly in biological fluids in a single step would allow performing drugged driving screening on the site. The achievement of this goal is extremely important for preventing and controlling drug abuse and crime incidence. Motived by this, we constructed a simple, cost-effective and reagentless electrochemical aptamer-based (EAB) sensor with methamphetamine (MAMP) as the target molecule. This EAB sensor produced a nanomolar level of detection accuracy in unprocessed or minimally processed bio-samples. Specifically, circular dichroic spectrum was used to confirm that the truncated aptamer from the original sequence would undergo large binding-induced conformational changes. We then engineered the aptamer to work in the EAB platform and the resulting sensor enabled sensitive and specific detection of MAMP with the detection limit of 30 nM in undiluted serum, 50 nM in undiluted urine and 20 nM in 50% saliva. The sensor has good recovery rate, implying this method has good reliability and repeatability. The detection limit is far below the clinical detection threshold, it would be hopefully used for preliminary screening of drugged driving in real world.

Abstract
The even growing production of both well-known and new derivatives with pharmaceutical action involves the need for developing facile and reliable methods for the analysis of these compounds. Among the widely used instrumental techniques, the electrochemical ones are probably the simplest and the most rapid, also having good performance characteristics. However, the key tool in electroanalysis is the working electrode. Due to the inherent electrochemical and economic advantages of the pencil graphite electrode (PGE), the interest in its applicability in the analysis of different analytes has continuously increased in recent years. Thus, this paper aims to review the scientific reports published in the last 10 years on the use of the disposable eco- and user-friendly PGEs in the electroanalysis of compounds of pharmaceutical importance in different matrices. The PGE characteristics and designs (bare or modified with various types of materials), along with their applications and performance parameters (e.g., linear range, limit of detection, and reproducibility), will be discussed, and their advantages and limitations will be critically emphasized.

Abstract
An electrochemical sensor for the determination of some polyphenolic compounds such as Gallic acid (GA) and Galloyl esters was developed using the activated pencil lead electrode (APLE). At first, a study has been made of the optimum conditions for electrochemical activation of the pencil lead electrode. Potentiodynamic and potentiostatic strategies were investigated for activation of the pencil lead electrode and the results show that the potentiodynamic pretreatment gives better performance toward measurement of the polyphenolic compounds. Electrochemical properties of GA were investigated using chronoamperometry and cyclic voltammetry; and some thermodynamic and kinetic variables such as α, n α, and D were calculated. Sensitive differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) technique was applied for the determination of Gallic acid and Galloyl esters in different samples. Enhanced oxidation peak currents of Gallic acid were observed at APLE when compared with non-activated PLE. The calibration graph has two linear ranges of 0.49-24.3 µM and 0.07-0.83 mM, and the obtained limit of detection for S/N = 3 was 0.25 µM. Adsorptive stripping differential pulse voltammetry (AdSDPV) was also conducted to determine Gallic acid and Galloyl esters in sub-micromolar concentration range. Using the AdSDPV method, the limit of detection was improved and calculated to be 5.2 nM. The proposed method was successfully applied for quantification of the total concentration of Gallic acid and Galloyl esters in a variety of real samples such as black and green tea, and mango juice samples, and desirable recovery values indicated the good accuracy of the developed sensor.

Abstract
Recognition of misused stimulant drugs has always been a hot topic from a medical and judicial perspective. Methamphetamine (MAMP) is an addictive and illegal drug that profoundly affects the central nervous system. Like other illicit drugs, the detection of MAMP in biological and street samples is vital for several organizations such as forensic medicine, anti-drug headquarters and diagnostic clinics. By emerging nanotechnology and exploiting nanomaterials in sensing applications, a great deal of attention has been given to the design of analytical sensors in MAMP tracing. For the first time, this study has briefly reviewed all the optical and electrochemical sensors in MAMP detection from earlier so far. How various receptors with engineering nanomaterials allow developing novel approaches to measure MAMP have been studied. Fundamental concepts related to optical and electrochemical recognition assays in which nanomaterials have been used and relevant MAMP sensing applications have been comprehensively covered. Challenges, opportunities and future outlooks of this field have also been discussed at the end.

Abstract
The abuse of methamphetamine (MA) is to date detected and subsequently verified through the monitoring of MA and its metabolites within biological specimens. Current approaches require complex sample purification strategies alongside significant analysis time. Given the high prevalence of MA within the global drug market, there remains a need for rapid, portable and alternative screening approaches appropriate for direct detection within biological matrices for employment across the forensic and clinical environments. This contribution illustrates the use of an electrochemiluminescence (ECL) strategy for the screening of MA, amphetamine (AMP) and para hydroxy-methamphetamine (pOH-MA) for such applications. The sensing system showed ideal analytical performance with linear ranges at forensically relevant concentrations of 0.1 μM to 0.5 mM for MA, 10 μM to 1 mM AMP and 10 μM to 5 mM for pOH-MA, and superb detection limits of 74.6 nM, 6 μM and 82. μM for MA, AMP and pOH-MA respectively. Furthermore, the sensor was successful in the detection of MA, AMP and pOH-AMP within human pooled serum, artificial urine and saliva, without any prior purification strategies. Here a portable ECL sensor is detailed for the successful employment of the direct screening of these amphetamine type substances and their corresponding metabolites at clinically and forensically relevant concentrations within a range of biological matrices. This approach successfully represents a strong proof-of-concept, for a novel, simple and rapid screening method with significant potential for high-throughput screening of biological samples for drug metabolites, widening the avenues where ECL sensors could be employed.

Abstract
An automatic setup for reactional wettability variation (RWV) was developed by interlinking liquid selection and transportation, object movement, and image recognition. In this way, the performance of the RWV strategy is updated to a nearly unmanned control manner with the example of methamphetamine and its aptamer. On the automatic RWV detection setup, the sensing surface acts similarly as before. The aptamer-based sensing surface resulted from the breakdown of the hydrophobic basis. The hydrophobicity is constructed on the metastable aptamer layer, which is responsive to the corresponding target. Methamphetamine interacts with its corresponding aptamer and destroys the basis of the hydrophobicity. A decrease in contact angle indicates the existence of methamphetamine. The RWV phenomenon is also affected by concentration and temperature. The development of an automatic detection ability would bring new possibilities to the surface reaction on smarter detection.

Abstract
Drug abuse is a global problem, requiring an interdisciplinary approach. Discovery, production, trafficking, and consumption of illicit drugs have been constantly growing, leading to heavy consequences for environment, human health, and society in general. Therefore, an urgent need for rapid, sensitive, portable and easy-to-operate detection methods for numerous drugs of interest in diverse matrices, from police samples, biological fluids and hair to sewage water has risen. Electrochemical sensors are promising alternatives to chromatography and spectrometry. Last decades, electrochemical sensing of illegal drugs has experienced a very significant growth, driven by improved transducers and signal amplifiers helping to improve the sensitivity and selectivity. The present review summarizes recent advances (last 10 years) in electrochemical detection of the most prevailing illicit drugs (such as cocaine, heroin, and (meth)amphetamine), their precursors and derivatives in different matrices. Various electrochemical sensors making use of different transducers with their (dis)advantages were discussed, and their sensitivity and applicability were critically compared. In those cases where natural or synthetic recognition elements were included in the sensing system to increase specificity, selected recognition elements, their immobilization, working conditions, and analytical performance were discussed. Finally, an outlook is presented with suggestions and recommendations for future developments.

Abstract
Due to their electrochemical and economical characteristics, pencil graphite electrodes (PGEs) gained in recent years a large applicability to the analysis of various types of inorganic and organic compounds from very different matrices. The electrode material of this type of working electrodes is constituted by the well-known and easy commercially available graphite pencil leads. Thus, PGEs are cheap and user-friendly and can be employed as disposable electrodes avoiding the time-consuming step of solid electrodes surface cleaning between measurements. When compared to other working electrodes PGEs present lower background currents, higher sensitivity, good reproducibility, and an adjustable electroactive surface area, permitting the analysis of low concentrations and small sample volumes without any deposition/preconcentration step. Therefore, this paper presents a detailed overview of the PGEs characteristics, designs and applications of bare, and electrochemically pretreated and chemically modified PGEs along with the corresponding performance characteristics like linear range and detection limit. Techniques used for bare or modified PGEs surface characterization are also reviewed.

Abstract
Background Methamphetamine has an adverse effect on the ability to drive safely. Police need to quickly screen potentially impaired drivers therefore a rapid disposable test for methamphetamine is highly desirable. This is the first proof-of-concept report of a disposable electrochemical test for methamphetamine in undiluted saliva. Results A screen printed carbon electrode is used for the N,N′-(1,4-phenylene)-dibenzenesulfonamide mediated detection of methamphetamine in saliva buffer and saliva. The oxidized mediator reacts with methamphetamine to give an electrochemically active adduct which can undergo electrochemical reduction. Galvanostatic oxidation in combination with a double square wave reduction technique resulted in detection of methamphetamine in undiluted saliva with a response time of 55 s and lower detection limit of 400 ng/mL. Conclusions Using a double square wave voltammetry technique, rapid detection of methamphetamine in undiluted saliva can be achieved, however there is significant donor variation in response and the detection limit is significantly higher than desired. Further optimization of the assay and sensor format is required to improve the detection limit and reduce donor effects.
