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 Research

2010
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 Bioelectronics

2005
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 Journal

2004
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.
