Architecture of a multi-channel and easy-to-make microfluidic paper-based colorimetric device (μPCD) towards selective and sensitive recognition of uric acid by AuNPs: an innovative portable tool for the rapid and low-cost identification of clinically relevant biomolecules

Abstract

A portable microfluidic paper-based colorimetric sensor based on various type of gold nanoparticle (AuNPs) for the monitoring of UA was developed.

Recent advances in aqueous virus removal technologies

“…Generally, smoother membranes with enhanced hydrophilic characteristics and lower charge surfaces are less likely to experience particulate fouling. On the other hand, hydrodynamically stressful operating conditions featuring high membrane flux rates and/or low CFV can cause severe membrane damage ( Farshchi et al, 2021a ; Vatanpour et al, 2021a ). For virus removal, however, nanoparticles can be effective where they are used individually, as comprehensively discussed in terms of mechanisms and properties ( Ju et al, 2021 ).…”

“…For example, since the 1970s the California State Department of Health in the USA has started to establish virus removal by defining the quality and treatment standards for the water discharged into the ponds and rivers as the main harmful sources of human health ( Dryden et al, 1979 ). Commonly, viruses are present in low concentration in the waterborne, as a consequence of the analysis methods used for viruses' detection being complex — a limit on virus concentration not being specified in the national and international regulations during the last centuries ( Barczak et al, 2021 ; Farshchi et al, 2021a ; Kordasht et al, 2021 ). Thus, attention has been gradually directed to a shift from using simple to combination treatment methods.…”

An innovative electrically conductive biopolymer based on poly(β‐cyclodextrin) towards recognition of ascorbic acid in real sample: Utilization of biocompatible advanced materials in biomedical analysis

“…Nowadays, usage of a variety of materials with several advantages can provide appropriate modification on the surface of electrode for the determination of various analytes. [24][25][26][27][28] Electrochemical polymerization, which is also called electropolymerization, is one of the simple and efficient ways of electrodeposition of various materials on the electrode surface. Electropolymerization is usually accomplished in an aqueous medium of monomer solution and electrolyte within an electrochemical cell using three electrodes.…”
