A cholesterol biosensor was developed using a modified carbon electrode with carbon nanotubes. The disposable cholesterol biosensor was modified with carbon nanotubes to enhance electron transfer during the enzymatic reaction of cholesterol. Cholesterol oxidase and peroxidase, with potassium ferrocyanide as a mediator, were immobilized on a screen-printed carbon nanotube electrode. The electrochemical cholesterol biosensor developed using carbon nanotubes showed a rapid and reliable signal for measuring total cholesterol. The cholesterol sensor showed a linear response in 5 seconds with a small volume (0.5 μL) in the range of 100~400 mg/dL, with a coefficient of variation of 4.0%.

Redox complexes to transport electrodes from biomaterial to electrodes are very important part in commercial biosensor industry. A novel osmium redox complex was synthesized by the coordinating pyridine group with osmium metal. A novel osmium complex is described as $[Os(dme-bpy)_2(ap-im)Cl]^{+/2+}$. We have been studied the electrochemical characteristics of this osmium complex with electrochemical techniques such as cyclic voltammetry and chronoamperommetry. In order to immobilize osmium redox complexes on the electrode, we deposited gold nano-particles on screen printed carbon electrode(SPE). The electrical signal converts the osmium redox films into an electrocatalyst for glucose oxidation. The catalytic currents were monitored that the catalytic currents were linearly increased from 1 mM to 5 mM concentrations of glucose.

Properties of carbon nano fiber (CNF) as field emitters were described. Carbon nano fiber (CNF) of herringbone was prepared by thermal chemical vapor deposition(CVD). Field emitters mixed with organic binders, conductive materials and were prepared by screen-printing process. In order to increase field emissions, the surface treatment of rubbing & peel-off was applied to the printed CNF emitters on cathode electrode. The measurements of field emission properties were carried out by using a diode structure inline vacuum chamber. CNF of herringbone type showed good emission properties that a turn on field was as low as 2.1 $V/{\mu}m$ and current density was as large as 0.15 $mA/cm^2$ of 4.2 $V/{\mu}m$ with electric field. Through the results. we propose that CNFs are suitable for application of electron emitters in Field Emission Devices.

A disposable, electro-chemiluminescent immunosensor utilizing a screen-printed carbon electrode and liposome coupled to antibody as tracer has been constructed. In proportion to the analyte (Legionella species as a model) concentration, the analyte-immunoliposome complexes were transferred by the capillary action through a membrane strip to the electrode, the liposomes were lysed in the presence of detergent, and ruthenium was released for signal generation. Such performance of the immunosensor was appropriate for a point-of-care testing.

In this study, ZnCo₂O₄ nanoparticles were synthesized via the coprecipitation method using different annealing temperatures from 200℃ to 800℃. By varying the treatment temperature, the morphology changed from amorphous to tetragonal, and finally to polygonal particles. As temperature increased, the sizes of the nanoparticles also changed from 5 nm at 200℃ to approximately 500 nm at 800℃. The fabricated material was used to modify the working electrode of a screen-printed carbon electrode (SPE), which was subsequently used to survey the detection performance of the antibiotic, chloramphenicol (CAP). The electrochemical results revealed that the material exhibits a good response to CAP. Further, the sample that annealed at 600℃ displayed the best performance, with a linear range of 1-300 μM, and a limit of detection (LOD) of 0.15 μM. The sensor modified with ZnCo₂O₄ also exhibited the potential for utilitarian application when the recovery in a real sample was above 97%.

Disposable, amperometric glucose sensor was constructed using platinised carbon paste electrode. The sensor response was studied by amperometry and cyclic voltammetry applying sample solutions on the strip-type electrode. Platinization of screen-printed carbon paste electrode effectively improved the electrochemical reversibility of a mediator and the analytical characteristics of the sensor. The heterogeneous rate constant for $[Fe(CN)_6]^{4-/3-}$ was $1.45\times10^{-2}cm{\cdot}s^{-1}$. An applied potential of 0.3V vs. Ag/AgCl resulted in the best selectivity for glucose. The apparent Michaelis-Menten constant for glucose on the strip sensor, $K_m^{app}$, was 24.5 mM. To evaluate the analytical performance of the glucose sensor strip, a correlation study was performed with the NOVA S.P, Ultra M analyzer for 30 serum samples containing $80\~297mg/dL$ of glucose: the correlation coefficient value was 0.983. It can be seen that the strip sensor has satisfactory precision and accuracy.

A novel non-enzymatic oxalic acid (OA) sensor based on the platinum/carbon black-nickel-reduced graphene oxide (Pt/CBNi-rGO) nanocomposite is reported. The nanocomposites were prepared by the ethylene glycol reduction method. Their morphology and chemical composition were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The results clearly demonstrated the formation of the Pt/CB-Ni-rGO nanocomposite. The electrocatalytic activity of the Pt/CB-Ni-rGO electrode was investigated by cyclic voltammetry. It was determined that the appropriate amount of Pt enhanced the catalytic activity of Pt for oxalic acid electro-oxidation. Moreover, the modified electrode was determined to be highly selective for oxalic acid without interference from compounds commonly found in urine including uric acid and ascorbic acid. The chronoamperometric signal gave a wide linearity range of 20 μM-60 mM and the detection limit (3σ) was found to be 2.35 μM. The proposed method showed high selectivity, stability, and good reproducibility and could be used with micro-volumes of sample for the detection of oxalic acid. Finally, the oxalic acid content in artificial and control urine samples were successfully determined by our proposed electrode.

A potentiometric sodium-ion (Na⁺) sensor was prepared using a screen-printing process with carbon and silver inks. The two-electrode configuration of the sensor resulted in potential differences in Na⁺ solutions according to Nernstian equation. The obtained Na⁺-sensor exhibited an ideal Nernstian sensitivity, fast response time, and low limit of detection. The Nernstian response was stable when the sensor was tested for repeatability and long-term durability. The Na⁺-selective membrane coated onto the carbon electrode selectively passed sodium ions against interfering ions, indicating an excellent selectivity. The portable Na⁺-sensor was finally fabricated using a printed circuit system, demonstrating the successful measurements of Na⁺ concentrations in various real samples.

In this study, conductive polymers and the enzyme tyrosinase (Tyr) were deposited on the surface of a screen printed carbon electrode (SPCE), which can be fabricated as a disposable sensor chip, and applied to the detection of bisphenol F (BPF), an endocrine disruptor with proven links to male diseases and thyroid disorders, using electrochemical methods. On the surface of the SPCE working electrode, which was negatively charged by oxygen plasma treatment, a positively charged conductive polymer, poly(diallyldimethyl ammonium chloride) (PDDA), a negatively charged polymer compound, poly(sodium 4-styrenesulfonate) (PSS), and another layer of PDDA were layered by electrostatic attraction in the order of PDDA, PSS, and finally PDDA. Then, a layer of Tyr, which was negatively charged due to pH adjustment to 7.0, was added to create a PDDA-PSS-PDDA-Tyr sensor for BPF. When the electrode sensor is exposed to a BPF solution, which is the substrate and target analyte, 4,4'-methylenebis(cyclohexa-3,5-diene-1,2-dione) is generated by an oxidation reaction with the Tyr enzyme on the electrode surface. The reduction process of the product at 0.1 V (vs. Ag/AgCl) generating 4,4'-methylenebis(benzene-1,2-diol) was measured using cyclic and differential pulse voltammetries, resulting in a change in the peak current with respect to the concentration of BPF. In addition, we compared the detection performance of BPF using an ionic liquid electrolyte as an alternative to phosphate-buffered saline, which has been used in many previous sensing studies. Furthermore, the selectivity of bisphenol S, which acts as an interfering substance with a similar structure to BPF, was investigated. Finally, we demonstrated the practical applicability of the sensor by applying it to analyze the concentration of BPF in real samples prepared in the laboratory.
