A method of indirectly measuring pyruvic acid (PA) by capillary electrophoresis with amperometric detection is proposed for the first time. It is based on the oximation reaction between PA and hydroxylamine (NH(2)OH), and the quantification of PA was performed by direct and sensitive amperometric detection of excessive NH(2)OH after the oximation reaction. This method displayed a good sensitivity, and the detection limits of NH(2)OH and PA are 1.76 x 10(-7) and 3.88 x 10(-7)mol/L, respectively at S/N=3. The linear relationship between the peak current and PA concentration is exhibited over the range from 4 x 10(-6) to 1 x 10(-4)mol/L. This method has been applied to determine PA in rat plasma with satisfactory results.

Carbon fiber nanotip electrodes (CFNEs) are crucial for electrochemical recordings of neurotransmission release in confined spaces, such as synapses and intracellular measurements. However, fabricating CFNEs with small surface area to minimize noise remains challenging due to inconsistent tip size control, low reproducibility, and low fabrication success rate. Here, we present a reliable, user-friendly method with high reproducibility and success rate for precise CFNE fabrication using microscopy-guided electrochemical etching of cylindrical carbon fiber microelectrodes in a potassium hydroxide droplet.

Coordination polymers (CPs) can be used as supporting materials for enzyme immobilization to overcome limitations arising from mass transfer barriers, active site blocking, and low enzyme loading, as previously demonstrated, employing metal-organic frameworks (MOFs). We report on a new composite containing glucose oxidase (GOD) and ZIF-7-III (Zn(bIm)), focusing on three aspects: formation, optimization of catalytic properties, and application. The immobilization of GOD on ZIF-7-III at room temperature was systematically studied by varying the amount of GOD and the reaction time.

Nitrite (NO) is used in food production. High levels of NO intake pose health risks from carcinogenic nitrosamines. This research presents an electrochemical sensor that detects NO in ultra-processed foods and drinking water using a novel ultrafine carboxyl-functionalized carbon nanofiber (f-CNF) as an electrocatalyst.

Amperometric biosensors, due to their high sensitivity, fast response time, low cost, simple control, miniaturization capabilities, and other advantages, are receiving significant attention in the field of medical diagnostics, especially in monitoring blood glucose levels in diabetic patients. In this study, an amperometric glucose biosensor based on immobilized enzyme glucose oxidase (GOx) and bimetallic platinum cobalt (PtCo) nanoparticles was developed. The PtCo nanoparticles, deposited on a graphite rod electrode, exhibited peroxidase-like catalytic properties and were able to electrocatalyze the reduction of HO.

Timely and precise monitoring of inflammatory biomarkers is essential for the effective management of sepsis and related acute conditions. Current monitoring strategies depend mostly on centralized, benchtop systems. Here, we present compact and bioelectronic sensor platforms capable of rapid and simultaneous detection of lactate and interleukin-6 (IL-6) in human serum and interstitial fluid.
