For ex-vivo diabetic control, the voltammetric diagnosis of glucose (GU) was conducted with a modified carbon nanotube paste electrode, using handheld analytical circuits. The optimum analytical conditions were attained within the 0.5-4.0 ug/L working range and at the 0.06 ug/L detection limit, which system was interfaced to the feedback circuits and was applied to human urine for diabetic-patient diagnosis. It can be used for ex-vivo flow control analysis, vascular flow detection and other medicinal assays. The equations of the patients' urine are y=36.65x+12.13 and $R^2=0.987$, those of the healthy person of y= 2.5x+10.9 and $R^2=0.928$ (patients: 118 ug/L; healthy person: 12.34 ug/L).

A glucose biosensor using a microdisk resonator in polymeric waveguides was developed by observing either the shift in the resonant wavelength or the variation in the optical power. The deformation in the transfer curve of the vertically coupled resonator sensor resulting from the variation in the disk-to-ring coupling, which was incurred by the application of the target analyze, was suppressed. And the refractive index of the polymeric waveguide was devised to closely follow that of the analyze itself for enhancing the sensitivity of the sensor. The sensitivity and measurement range were observed to be respectively 0.14 pm/(mg/dL) and 1500 mg/dL (theoretically up to 4700 mg/dL, for the wavelength shift method and 0.04 dB/(mg/dU and 140 mg/dL the power variation scheme.

This paper describes the novel immunoassay sensing system for a portable clinical diagnosis system. It consists of a bead cage reactor and a CMOS integrated biosensor. It showed the simple and easy antibody coating method on beads by flow-through avidin biotin complex technology in a microfluidic device. It showed just 90 nL sample consumption and good result for the application of alpha feto protein. The bead cage reactor has the role of the antibody coating, antigen binding and enzyme linking for the electrochemical sensing method. The CMOS biosensor consists of ISFET (ion selective field effect transistor) biosensor and temperature sensor for detecting pH that is the byproduct of enzyme reaction. The sensitivity is 8 $kHz/^{\circ}C$ in a temperature sensor and 33 mV/pH in a pH sensor. After filling the 15 um polystyrene beads in bead cage, antibody flowed and reacted to beads. Subsequently, the biotinylated antigen flowed and bound to the antibody and GOD (glucose oxidase)-avidin conjugate flowed and reacted to the biotin of the biotinylated antigen. After this reaction process, glucose solution flowed and reacted to the GOD on beads. The hydrogen was generated by glucose-GOD reaction. And it was detected by the pH sensor.

The development of an enzymatic biosensor for dopamine determination based on multiwall carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) and peroxidase obtained from the crude extract of burley tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum L.) was proposed. Peroxidase catalyzes the oxidation of dopamine to dopamine quinone. The influence on the response of analytical parameters of biosensors such as enzyme concentration, dopamine concentration, pH, and phosphate buffer solution concentration were investigated. The analytical parameters obtained, including sensitivity, linearity, and stability, were investigated. The proposed method for dopamine determination presented good selectivity even in the presence of uric acid and ascorbic acid. The sensor presented a higher response for dopamine in 0.010 M phosphate buffer at pH 6.50, with an applied potential of -0.15 V. The detection limit of the electrode was 2.7×10⁻⁶ M (S/N = 3) and the relative standard deviation of the measurements, which were repeated 10 times using 5.0×10⁻² M dopamine, was 1.3%.

The oxygen electrode of a biosensor needs enzyme immobilized membrane and a dialysis membrane to measure the oxygen concentration that remains after an enzyme reacts with its substrate. Accodingly, a single-layer PVA laminated CTA/PCL membrane was developed as an oxygen biosensor electrode. The enzymes were immobilized on a cellulose triacetate/polycarprolactone membrane using the 1,1'-carbonyl diimidazole(CDI) method, and then laminated with polyvinyl alcohol, aldehyde and acid. The alcohol oxidase and PVA laminated CTA/PCL membrane was tested with various concentration of enzyme substrates using a Yellow Springs Instrument(YSI) oxygen sensor. Under 5-10mmol substrates produced $0.37{\sim}0.83{\mu}A$(r=0.995) currents, and ater 8 weeks the glucose oxidase activity remained at about 56%, while the other activities remained very low. A SEM indicated a smooth surface and tightly attached PVA on the enzyme-immobilized CTA/PCL membranes.

Background: Recently, the pork industry of Thailand faced an epidemic of highly virulent strains of porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV), which spread throughout Southeast Asia, including the Lao People's Democratic Republic and Cambodia. Hence, the rapid and on-site screening of infected pigs on a farm is essential. Objectives: To develop the new aptamer as a biosensor for detection PRRSV which are rapid and on-site screening of infected pig. Methods: New aptamers against PRSSV were identified using the combined techniques of capillary electrophoresis, colorimetric assay by gold nanoparticles, and quartz crystal microbalance (QCM). Results: Thirty-six candidate aptamers of the PRRSV were identified from the systematic evolution of ligands by exponential enrichment (SELEX) by capillary electrophoresis. Only 8 out of 36 aptamers could bind to the PRSSV, as shown in a colorimetric assay. Of the 8 aptamers tested, only the 1F aptamer could bind specifically to the PRSSV when presented with the classical swine fever virus and a pseudo rabies virus. The QCM was used to confirm the specificity and sensitivity of the 1F aptamer with a detection limit of 1.87 × 10¹⁰ particles. Conclusions: SELEX screening of the aptamer equipped with capillary electrophoresis potentially revealed promising candidates for detecting the PRRSV. The 1F aptamer exhibited the highest specificity and selectivity against the PRRSV. These findings suggest that 1F is a promising aptamer for further developing a novel PRRSV rapid detection kit.

The analytical in vivo chromium ion was searched for using a voltammetric hollow-fiber dialysis sensor via square wave stripping voltammetry (SW), cyclic voltammetry (CV), and chronoamperometry. Under optimum parameters, the analytical results indicated linear working ranges of 50~400 mg/l CV and $10{\sim}80\;{\mu}g/l$ SW within a 30-sec accumulation time. The analytical detection limit (S/N) was $6.0\;{\mu}g/l$. The developed method can be applied to in vivo tissues and in ex vivo toxicity assay, as well as to other materials that require chromium analysis.

Diagnosis with an ex-vivo gold sensor was done using a modified fluorine-doping sensor, and cyclic voltammetry (CV) redox potentials of 0.4 V anodic and -0.2 V cathodic were obtained. Both peak currents were optimized using square-wave (SW) stripping voltammetry, and an analytical working range of 10-80 ug/L SW was attained. The precision of the 10-mg/L Au was 0.765 (n=8) RSD under the optimum conditions, and the analytical detection limit approached 0.006 ug/L (S/N=3) with only a 60 sec accumulation time. The developed method was used to examine the mouse droppings for medicinal diagnosis.

Neurotransmitter glycine in the nano gram range was analyzed using a paste electrode (PE) in cyclic voltammetry (CV) and square-wave stripping voltammetry (SWSV). An anodic peak caused by oxidation of the glycine ion appeared at the 0.4 V (versus Ag/AgCl/KCl) potential in a 0.1 M NH4H2PO4 electrolyte solution. At optimized conditions, the working range of the SWSV and CV concentration was found to be 5-60 ngL-1 glycine; precision of R2 = 0.9816 (SWSV) and 0.9986 (CV); and detection limit of 0.65 ngL-1 (5.82 × 10-12 molL-1) (S/N = 3). The optimized conditions were applied to an assay in a fish brain tissue and a living brain cell in real time.
