Solution-based circuits enable rapid and multiplexed pathogen detection

Complex epsilon-near-zero metamaterials for broadband light harvesting systems

“…It is therefore important to develop a fabrication technique whereby disorder can be produced on large scales and with controllable features. In order to assemble a broadband ENZ nanomaterial, we used an electroplating process that grows a random networks of gold (Au) nanowires from a flat metallic Au substrate [32][33][34][35] (Figure 1). Figure 2a shows SEM cross sections of a fabricated sample.…”

Sensing parasites: Proteomic and advanced bio-detection alternatives

“…In general, technologies based on biosensors have been applied in diagnostic investigations of a wide range of parasites as can be seen in Table 4. In this way, advanced research through the integration of different techniques for multiplexing and high-throughput analysis on a chip might lead to the development of multi-parasite detection devices highly advantageous for tropical parasitic diseases [161,162]. Moreover, microfluidic devices open new avenues to investigate full parasite behaviour [163,164] and parasite drug response [165] in order to design new strategies to fight them.…”

Low-Cost Microfluidic Arrays for Protein-Based Cancer Diagnostics Using ECL Detection

“…15 This chip was equipped with solution circuits for multiplexed measurements of pathogenic bacteria and antibiotic-resistance biomarkers. 16 In general, nanostructured sensors coupled with massively labeled detection particles can provide very large signal enhancements. 4 Screen and ink-jet printed electrode arrays are quite useful for multiplexing, can be fabricated as or converted to nanostructured sensors, and can be integrated with microfluidics to detect panels of proteins.…”
