A screen-printed carbon working electrode within a commercially available screen-printed three-electrode assembly was modified
by using a composite of multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNT) dispersed in polyethylenimine (PEI) followed by covering with
the calf thymus dsDNA layer. Several electrochemical methods were used to characterize the biosensor and to evaluate damage
to the surface-attached DNA: square wave voltammetry of the [Ru(bpy)3]2+ redox indicator and mediator of the guanine moiety oxidation, cyclic voltammetry and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy
in the presence of the [Fe(CN)6]3−/4− indicator in solution. Due to high electroconductivity and large surface area of MWCNT and positive charge of PEI, the MWCNT–PEI
composite is an advantageous platform for the DNA immobilization by the polyelectrolyte complexation and its voltammetric
and impedimetric detection. In this respect, the MWCNT–PEI interface exhibited better properties than the MWCNT–chitosan one
reported from our laboratory previously. A deep DNA layer damage at incubation of the biosensor in quinazoline solution was
found, which depends on the quinazoline concentration and incubation time.

A capacitive biosensor for the detection of bacterial endotoxin has been developed. Endotoxin-neutralizing protein derived
from American horseshoe crab was immobilized to a self-assembled thiol layer on a biosensor transducer (Au). Upon injection
of a sample containing endotoxin, a decrease in the observed capacitive signal was registered. Endotoxin could be determined
under optimum conditions with a detection limit of 1.0 × 10−13 M and linearity ranging from 1.0 × 10−13 to 1.0 × 10−10 M. Good agreement was achieved when applying endotoxin preparations purified from an Escherichia coli cultivation to the capacitive biosensor system, utilizing the conventional method for quantitative endotoxin determination,
the Limulus amebocyte lysate test as a reference. The capacitive biosensor method was statistically tested with the Wilcoxon signed rank test, which proved
the system is acceptable for the quantitative analysis of bacterial endotoxin (P < 0.05).

A new kind of magnetic dextran microsphere (MDMS) with uniform shape and narrow diameter distribution has been prepared from
magnetic iron nanoparticles and dextran. Horseradish peroxidase (HRP) was successfully immobilized on the surface of an MDMS-modified
glassy-carbon electrode (GCE), and the immobilized HRP displayed excellent electrocatalytic activity in the reduction of H2O2 in the presence of the mediator hydroquinone (HQ). The effects of experimental variables such as the concentration of HQ,
solution pH, and the working potential were investigated for optimum analytical performance. This biosensor had a fast response
to H2O2 of less than 10 s and an excellent linear relationship was obtained in the concentration range 0.20 μmol L−1–0.68 mmol L−1, with a detection limit of 0.078 μmol L−1 (S/N = 3) under the optimum conditions. The response showed Michaelis–Menten behavior at larger H2O2 concentrations, and the apparent Michaelis–Menten constant was estimated to be 1.38 mmol L−1. Moreover, the selectivity, stability, and reproducibility of the biosensor were evaluated, with satisfactory results.

A carbon composite amperometric hydrogen peroxide sensor has been developed using a sol-gel technique. Toluidine blue (TB),
which acts as the redox mediator, was covalently immobilized via glutaraldehyde crosslinking with an organically modified
silane, namely 3-aminopropyltrimethoxysilane (APTMOS). Methyltrimethoxysilane (MTMOS) was used as the additional monomer;
this controls the hydrophobicity of the electrode surface, thus limiting the wettability. The immobilization of TB within
the sol-gel matrix was confirmed with FTIR studies. The sol-gel mixture containing TB immobilized in APTMOS and MTMOS was
mixed with graphite powder in order to prepare the carbon composite electrode. The electrode was characterized using voltammetric
techniques and its electrocatalytic activity for the reduction of hydrogen peroxide was also studied. The carbon composite
electrode has the advantage of sensing H2O2 at a lower potential and with a higher sensitivity, and interferences due to ascorbic acid, uric acid and acetaminophen were
greatly minimized. The linear range for the determination of H2O2 extends from 5.37 × 10−6 to 6.15 × 10−3 M, with a correlation coefficient of 0.9981. The detection limit was found to be 2.15 × 10−6 M. The covalent immobilization of TB effectively prevents the leakage of the water-soluble mediator during measurements.
The modified electrode, aside from electrocatalyzing the reduction of H2O2, exhibits distinct advantages in terms of surface renewal in the event of surface fouling, as well as simple preparation,
good chemical and mechanical stability, and good reproducibility.

A simple method has been devised for immobilization of acetylcholinesterase (AChE)—covalent bonding to a multiwall carbon
nanotube (MWNT)–cross-linked chitosan composite (CMC)—and a sensitive amperometric sensor for rapid detection of acetylthiocholine
(ATCl) has been based on this. Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy proved that the native structure of the immobilized
enzyme was preserved on this chemically clean and homogeneous composite film, because of the excellent biocompatibility and
non-toxicity of chitosan. Glutaraldehyde was used as cross-linker to covalently bond the AChE, and efficiently prevented leakage
of the enzyme from the film. Because of the inherent conductive properties of the MWNT, the immobilized AChE had greater affinity
for ATCl and excellent catalytic effect in the hydrolysis of ATCl, with a value of 132 μmol L−1, forming thiocholine, which was then oxidized to produce a detectable and rapid response. Under optimum conditions the amperometric
current increased linearly with the increasing concentration of ATCl in the range 2.0–400 μmol L−1, with a detection limit of 0.10 μmol L−1. Fabrication reproducibility of the sensor was good and the stability was acceptable. The sensor is a promising new tool
for characterization of enzyme inhibitors and for pesticide analysis.

A novel electrochemical H2O2 biosensor was constructed by embedding horseradish peroxide (HRP) in a 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate doped
DNA network casting on a gold electrode. The HRP entrapped in the composite system displayed good electrocatalytic response
to the reduction of H2O2. The composite system could provide both a biocompatible microenvironment for enzymes to keep their good bioactivity and
an effective pathway of electron transfer between the redox center of enzymes, H2O2 and the electrode surface. Voltammetric and time-based amperometric techniques were applied to characterize the properties
of the biosensor. The effects of pH and potential on the amperometric response to H2O2 were studied. The biosensor can achieve 95% of the steady-state current within 2 s response to H2O2. The detection limit of the biosensor was 3.5 μM, and linear range was from 0.01 to 7.4 mM. Moreover, the biosensor exhibited
good sensitivity and stability. The film can also be readily used as an immobilization matrix to entrap other enzymes to prepare
other similar biosensors.

An amperometric biosensor for the determination of creatine was developed. The carbon rod electrode surface was coated with
sarcosine oxidase (SOX) and creatine amidinohydrolase by cross-linking under glutaraldehyde vapour. The SOX from Arthrobacter sp. 1–1 N was purified and previously used for creation of a creatine biosensor. The natural SOX electron acceptor, oxygen,
was replaced by an redox mediating system, which allowed amperometric detection of an analytical signal at +400-mV potential. The response time
of the biosensor was less than 1 min. The biosensor showed a linear dependence of the signal vs. creatine concentration at
physiological creatine concentration levels. The optimal pH in 0.1 M tris(hydroxymethyl)aminomethane (Tris)–HCl buffer was
found to be at pH 8.0. The half-life of the biosensor was 8 days in 0.1 M Tris–HCl buffer (pH 8.0) at 20 °C.

A single optosensing device based on lanthanide-sensitized luminescence was developed for determination of p-aminobenzoic acid (PABA). The method is based on the formation of a complex between PABA and Tb(III) immobilized on the solid
phase (QAE A-25 resin) placed inside the flow cell. NaCl (1 M) was used as carrier solution and HCl (0.05 M) as eluent. The
sample solutions of PABA (100 μL) containing Tb(III) and buffered at pH = 6.0 were injected into the carrier stream and the
luminescence was measured at λ
ex = 290 nm and λ
em = 546 nm. The method shows a linear range from 0.2 to 6.0 μg mL−1 with an RSD of 1.2% (n = 10) and a sampling frequency of 22 h−1. A remarkable characteristic of the method is its high selectivity which allows it to be satisfactorily applied to the analysis
of PABA in pharmaceutical samples without prior treatment.

Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), horseradish peroxidase (HRP)-catalyzed fluorescent reaction, and oxalate chemiluminescence
imaging analysis have been combined to develop a sensitive, simple, and rapid method for analysis of interferon alpha (α-IFN)
in human serum samples. A typical “sandwich type” immunoassay was used. Reaction of o-phenylenediamine (OPD) with hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), catalyzed by HRP, produced 2,3-diaminophenazine (PDA), which was detected by chemiluminescence imaging analysis with the
bis(2,4,6-trichlorophenyl)oxalate (TCPO)–H2O2–glyoxaline–PDA chemiluminescent system. The TCPO chemiluminescent imaging system is more sensitive and the chemiluminescence
quantum yield is at least five times higher than for the luminol–H2O2–HRP–PIP (p-iodophenol) chemiluminescent imaging system. The results showed there was a very good linear correlation between response
and amount of α-IFN in the range 1.3–156.0 pg mL−1 (R = 0.9991) and the detection limit was 0.8 pg mL−1 (S/N=3). The relative standard deviation (n = 9) was 4.7%. The proposed method has been used for successful analysis of the amount of α-IFN in human serum. The results
obtained compared well with those obtained by conventional colorimetric ELISA and luminol chemiluminescent ELISA.

The mouse bioassay is the methodology that is most widely used to detect okadaic acid (OA) in shellfish samples. This is one
of the best-known toxins, and it belongs to the family of marine biotoxins referred to as the diarrhetic shellfish poisons
(DSP). Due to animal welfare concerns, alternative methods of toxin detection are being sought. A rapid and specific biosensor
immunoassay method was developed and validated for the detection of OA. An optical sensor instrument based on the surface
plasmon resonance (SPR) phenomenon was utilised. A polyclonal antibody to OA was raised against OA–bovine thyroglobulin conjugate
and OA–N-hydroxy succinimide ester was immobilised onto an amine sensor chip surface. The assay parameters selected for the analysis
of the samples were: antibody dilution, 1/750; ratio of antibody to standard, 1:1; volume of sample injected, 25 μl min−1; flow rate, 25 μl min−1. An assay action limit of 126 ng g−1 was established by analysing of 20 shellfish samples spiked with OA at the critical concentration of 160 ng g−1, which is the action limit established by the European Union (EU). At this concentration of OA, the assay delivered coefficient
of variations (CVs) of <10%. The chip surface developed was shown to be highly stable, allowing more than 50 analyses per
channel. When the concentrations of OA determined with the biosensor method were compared with the values obtained by LC–MS
in contaminated shellfish samples, the correlation between the two analytical methods was found to be highly satisfactory
(r
2 = 0.991).

The application of near-infrared (NIR) dyes (λ
em > 750 nm) to the analysis of biological samples shows much promise, because the long emission wavelengths of such dyes allow
interferences from biomolecule matrices to be minimized. In this paper, a novel NIR dye, 5,5′-dicarboxy-1,1′-disulfobutyl-3,3,3′,3′-tetramethylindotricarbocyanine
(DCDSTCY) has been developed for the spectrophotometric determination of total protein in serum. Under acidic conditions,
the binding of DCDSTCY to proteins caused a new peak at 878 nm, the height of which was proportional to the concentration
of protein. The linear range of the method was found to be 0.04–0.5 μg mL−1 for bovine serum albumin (BSA) and human serum albumin (HSA), and detection limits of 5 ng mL−1 were obtained for these substances. The maximum binding number of BSA with DCDSTCY was measured to be 133. The method proposed
here has been applied to the quantitation of total protein in serum, and recoveries of 96.6–104% were achieved.

Radix Scrophulariae (Xuanshen) is one of the famous Chinese herbal medicines widely used to treat rheumatism, tussis, pharyngalgia, arthritis,
constipation, and conjunctival congestion. Harpagoside and cinnamic acid are the main bioactive components of Xuanshen. The
purpose of this study was to develop an HPLC–UV method for simultaneous determination of harpagoside and cinnamic acid in
rat plasma and investigate pharmacokinetic parameters of harpagoside and cinnamic acid after oral administration of Xuanshen
extract (760 mg kg−1). After addition of syringin as internal standard, the analytes were isolated from plasma by liquid–liquid extraction. Separation
was achieved on a Kromasil C18 column, and detection was by UV absorption at 272 nm. The described assay was validated in terms of linearity, accuracy,
precision, recovery, and limit of quantification according to the FDA validation guidelines. Calibration curves for both analytes
were linear with the coefficient of variation (r) for both was greater than 0.999. Accuracy for harpagoside and cinnamic acid ranged from 100.7–103.5% and 96.9–102.9%, respectively,
and precision for both analytes were less than 8.5%. The main pharmacokinetic parameters found for harpagoside and cinnamic
acid after oral infusion of Xuanshen extract were as follows: C
max 1488.7 ± 205.9 and 556.8 ± 94.2 ng mL−1, T
max 2.09 ± 0.31 and (1.48 ± 0.14 h, AUC0–24 10336.4 ± 1426.8 and 3653.1 ± 456.4 ng h mL−1, 11276.8 ± 1321.4 and 3704.5 ± 398.8 ng h mL−1, and t
1/2 4.9 ± 1.3 and 2.5 ± 0.9 h, respectively. These results indicated that the proposed method is simple, selective, and feasible
for pharmacokinetic study of Radix Scrophulariae extract in rats.

New far-visible absorbing anilino-cyanine dyes have been synthesised for future application as chromoionophores in integrated

values (4.3–8.2 in ethanol–water solutions and 9.5–11.0 in plasticised PVC membranes), on the spectroscopic characteristics
of the dye and on photostability is discussed. pH-selective bulk optodes have been formulated as a first approach to develop
ion-selective optodes, and sensitivity, repeatability, lifetime and response time have been determined. The dyes show good
analytical behaviour for use as chromoionophores for the development of ion-selective optodes. Reversible (80–87%), fast (tr90% = 0.94–2.28 min) and pH-sensitive membranes (slopes of 0.09–0.23 ΔAbs·pHdec–1, absorbance range 0.19–0.53) have been obtained. Moreover, they exhibit good spectroscopic features for employment with integrated
optochemical sensors: absorption maxima of the acidic species in plasticised PVC membranes matched those of 650–670-nm LEDs,
high molar absorption coefficients ( L mol–1 cm–1 and L mol−1 cm−1) and fluorescence.

Two kinds of Ca2+-regulated photoprotein obelin with altered color of bioluminescence were obtained by active-center amino acid substitution.

max = 498 nm), with small spectral overlap, both display high activity and stability and thus may be used as reporters. For demonstration,
the mutants were applied in dual-color simultaneous immunoassay of two gonadotropic hormones—follicle-stimulating hormone
and luteinizing hormone. Bioluminescence of the reporters was simultaneously triggered by single injection of Ca2+ solution, divided using band-pass optical filters and measured with a two-channel photometer. The sensitivity of simultaneous
bioluminescence assay was close to that of a separate radioimmunoassay.

Liquid polymer membrane electrodes based on nickel and manganese phthalocyanines were examined for use as anion-selective
electrodes. The electrodes were prepared by incorporating the ionophores into plasticized poly(vinyl chloride) membranes,
which were directly coated onto the surfaces of graphite electrodes. The resulting electrodes demonstrate near-Nernstian responses
over a wide linear range of perchlorate anion (5 × 10−7 to 1 × 10−1 M). The electrodes have a fast response time, submicromolar detection limits (5 × 10−7 M perchlorate), and could be used over a wide pH range of 3.5–10. The influences of lipophilic cationic and anionic additives
on the response properties of the electrodes were investigated. The proposed sensors revealed high selectivity for perchlorate
over a number of common inorganic and organic anions. The highest selectivity was observed for the electrode based on manganese
phthalocyanine in the presence of the lipophilic anionic additive sodium tetrakis[3,5-bis(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]borate. Application
of the electrodes to determine perchlorate in tap water and human urine is also reported.

A simple, fast, reliable, sensitive and potentially portable explosive detection device was developed employing laser photofragmentation
(PF) followed by heterogeneous chemiluminescence (CL) detection. The PF process involves the release of NOx(x = 1,2) moieties from explosive compounds such as TNT, RDX, and PETN through a stepwise excitation–dissociation process using a 193 nm
ArF laser. The NOx(x = 1,2) produced upon PF is subsequently detected by its CL reaction with basic luminol solution. The intensity of the CL signal
was detected by a thermoelectrically cooled photomultiplier tube with high quantum efficiency and negligible dark current
counts. The system was able to detect trace amounts of explosives in various forms in real time under ambient conditions.
Detection limits of 3 ppbv for PETN, 2 ppbv for RDX, and 34 ppbv for TNT were obtained. It was also demonstrated that the
presence of PETN residue within the range of 61 to 186 ng/cm2 can be detected at a given signal-to-background ratio of 10 using a few microjoules of laser energy. The technique also demonstrated
its potential for the direct analysis of trace explosive in soil. An LOD range of 0.5–4.3 ppm for PETN was established, which
is comparable to currently available techniques.

Multivariate curve resolution with alternating least squares (MCR-ALS) has been applied to voltammetric data obtained from
analysis of the competitive binding of cysteine (Cys) and cysteine–glycine (Cys-Gly) by Cd(II) as a first approach towards
mixtures of phytochelatins and related compounds in natural media. From different starting points, the possibilities of formation
of mixed complexes and/or displacements between ligands are investigated. Analysis of the resulting unitary voltammograms
and concentration profiles of the resolved components by MCR-ALS suggests that the strongest ligand (Cys-Gly) is able to displace
the weakest (Cys) from its metal complexes, whereas this does not happen in the opposite direction. On the other hand, no
evidence of Cd mixed-ligand complexes was found.

Cholesterol oxidase (ChOx), cholesterol esterase (ChEt), and horseradish peroxidase (HRP) have been co-immobilized covalently
on a self-assembled monolayer (SAM) of N-(2-aminoethyl)-3-aminopropyltrimethoxysilane (AEAPTS) deposited on an indium–tin–oxide (ITO) glass surface. These enzyme-modified

Self-assembled monolayers (SAMS) of chemisorbed thioglycollate on a gold electrode surface have been used as a base interface
for the electrostatic adsorption of ferrocenium ion. Electrochemical impedance spectra (EIS) and cyclic voltammetry (CV) were
used to evaluate the electrochemical properties of the supramolecular film. The bare gold electrode failed to distinguish
the oxidation peaks of ascorbic acid (AA) and uric acid (UA) in phosphate buffer solution (PBS, pH 7.0), while the ferricinium–thioglycollate
modified electrode could separate them efficiently. In differiential pulse voltammetric measurements, the prepared gold electrode
could separate AA and UA signals, allowing the simultaneous determination of AA and UA. Under optimal conditions and within
the linear range of 1.0 × 10−6 to 5.0 × 10−4 M, the detection limits of AA and UA achieved were 2.0 × 10−7 and 1.0 × 10−7 M, respectively. The applicability of the prepared electrode was demonstrated by measuring AA and UA in human urine without
any pretreatment.

The damped glycolytic oscillation phenomenon occurring in starved cells of the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae (NBRC 0565) was characterization for application to a toxicity bioassay. S. cerevisiae was grown under semi-anaerobic conditions. The transient oscillations were observed photometrically as the time course of
the fluorescent intensity of reduced pyridine nucleotide resulting from instantaneous addition of glucose to a cell suspension.
In this study, simple and reproducible conditions inducing damped oscillations were obtained by modifying a literature method.
For estimation of the wave shapes of the damped oscillations we used six indexes. To investigate the total reproducibility
as the averaged relative standard deviation (RSDav) for the six indexes obtained from the wave shapes, the damped oscillations were induced under the optimum conditions and
the RSDav values were calculated as 14% in a buffer cell suspension (n = 62) and 22% in a water cell suspension (n = 78). Finally, the effects of glucose concentration on the six indexes were examined, and all the indexes changed when the
glucose concentration was changed. Excellent correlations were obtained between the index of oscillation-state time and the
concentration of glucose in a buffer cell suspension (r = 0.9985, 0.5–250 mmol L−1, 10 points) and in a water cell suspension (r = 0.9989, 2.5 μmol L−1–250 mmol L−1, 12 points), respectively.
