Efficient simultaneous determination of baicalein and luteolin based on a carbon fiber paper electrode modified with CuO/ZnO-CCNT ternary nanocomposite

Integration of Riboflavin-Modified Carbon Fiber Mesh Electrode Systems in a 3D-Printed Catheter Hub

“…Jeong et al (2013) revealed that compliance rates were only 37% after the intervention [46], and a more expansive meta-analysis by Ista et al (2016) highlighted that total compliance is essentially unattainable [48]. The focus has often been placed on the disinfection of the NFC prior to accessing the catheter, and it is surprising that despite the clear hazard posed, it remains a common point of failure [23,30,47,49,50]. The ability to monitor the condition of the hub through the integration of sensors may, therefore, provide a key opportunity to identify these failures and enable interventions that aim for the removal of systemic issues with training and management.…”

“…One possible limitation, however, would be whether or not the carbon fiber mesh electrode possesses the electrochemical characteristics necessary for facilitating the unambiguous identification of pH. The adoption of carbon fiber as the foundation of an electrochemical sensor has been widely used for sensing applications—typically for the detection of neurotransmitters [ 19 , 20 , 21 ] and other biologically relevant agents [ 22 , 23 , 24 , 25 ]. In this case, carbon fiber electrodes were functionalized with riboflavin, and the pH-sensitive nature of its electrochemical properties was harnessed as an indirect means of measuring pH [ 26 , 27 , 28 ].…”
