   Abstract : Neuronal communication is the basis for all our brain function and relies on regulated exocytosis, a cell function that involves release of quantal amounts of neurotransmitters into the gap space between interconnected neurons to serve as chemical signals. To study exocytosis, which is a fast process that occurs on the timescale of sub-milliseconds to milliseconds, a toolbox of analytical methods has been developed where the electrochemical based techniques offer quantitative and sufficient high temporal recording speed.

   Abstract : The nanoscale science and nanostructure engineering have well established in the fabrication of novel electrochemical biosensors with faster response and higher sensitivity than of planar sensor configurations. Moreover nanostructures are suggested and used as efficient carrier of photosensitizers for cancerous cell treatment. READ MORE

6. 4. Amperometric Carbon Paste Biosensors Based on Horseradish Peroxidase and Oxidases

   Author : Vijayakumar Rajendran; Centrum för analys och syntes; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Analytical chemistry; on-line monitoring; l-lactate; glucose; ethanol; Biosensor; Carbon paste; Analytisk kemi;

   Abstract : Amperometric carbon paste peroxide sensors based on horseradish peroxidase (HRP) were developed. In the first approach, HRP was chemically modified with polyethylene glycol to improve the stability of the enzyme in the organic paste matrix and compared with native HRP electrode. READ MORE

7. 5. Development of Capacitive Biosensors for Monitoring of Bacterial Toxins and Other Biomolecules

   Author : Mahmoud Labib; Bioteknik; []
