Single-walled carbon nanotubes dispersed in aqueous media via non-covalent functionalization: Effect of dispersant on the stability, cytotoxicity, and epigenetic toxicity of nanotube suspensions
Water Research2010 As the range of applications for carbon nanotubes (CNTs) rapidly expands, understanding the effect of CNTs on prokaryotic and eukaryotic cell systems has become an important research priority, especially in light of recent reports of the facile dispersion of CNTs in a variety of aqueous systems including natural water.
A high density microelectrode array biosensor for detection of E. coli O157:H7
Biosensors and Bioelectronics2005 A high density microelectrode array biosensor was developed for the detection of Escherichia coli O157:H7. The biosensor was fabricated from (1 0 0) silicon with a 2 μm layer of thermal oxide as an insulating layer, an active area of 9.6 mm2 and consists of an interdigitated gold electrode array.
Design and fabrication of a microimpedance biosensor for bacterial detection
IEEE Sensors Journal2004 A biosensor for bacterial detection was developed based on microelectromechanical systems, heterobifunctional crosslinkers and immobilized antibodies. The sensor detected the change in impedance caused by the presence of bacteria immobilized on interdigitated gold electrodes and was fabricated from (100) silicon with a 2-/spl mu/m layer of thermal oxide as an insulating layer.
Market analysis of biosensors for food safety
Biosensors and Bioelectronics2003 This paper is presented as an overview of the pathogen detection industry. The review includes pathogen detection markets and their prospects for the future. Potential markets include the medical, military, food, and environmental industries. Those industries combined have a market size of $563 million for pathogen detecting biosensors and are expected to grow at a compounded annual growth rate of 4.5%.
A conductometric biosensor for biosecurity
Biosensors and Bioelectronics2003 The paper describes the development of a conductometric biosensor for detecting foodborne pathogens. The biosensor consists of two components: an immunosensor that is based on electrochemical sandwich immunoassay, and a reader for signal measurement. The architecture of the immunosensor utilizes a lateral flow system that allows the liquid sample to move from one pad to another.
