A simple, disposable and inexpensive electrochemical DNA biosensor based on a zirconia (ZrO2) modified thin film screen-printed electrode (ZrO2/SPE) has been developed. Short DNA sequences (21 monomer units) from the Escherichia coli pathogen, modified with a phosphate group at the 5′ end, were attached to the surface of the electrode through the affinity of the phosphate group for zirconia, to produce an effective DNA probe (ssDNA/ZrO2/SPE). DNA immobilization and hybridization were characterized using differential pulse voltammetry by employing methylene blue as redox indicator. Target sequences hybridized with the probe resulted in a decrease of the reduction peak current of methylene blue intercalated into the probe. The response of a non-complementary sequence and a single base pair mismatch sequence were both clearly distinguished from that of a complementary sequence. The developed biosensor had a high selectivity and sensitivity towards hybridization detection (10–10 M complementary DNA detectable). Making use of screen-printed technology, the fabrication of the biosensors exhibited satisfactory reproducibility, investigated by cyclic voltammetry and differential pulse voltammetry. The relative standard deviation was found to be <3.0% for six bare SPEs and six ssDNA-modified SPEs (ssDNA/ZrO2/SPE) from a batch.

Measurement of antioxidant capacity represents an analytical major challenge in terms of accuracy, efficiency, rapid response, or low cost of detection methods. Quantification of antioxidant capacity of food samples using disposable screen‐printed microelectrodes (SPMEs) was based on cyclic voltammetry versus open-circuit potential (CV vs OCP) and differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) as compared with spectrophotometric measurement of the CUPRAC reaction with 6-hydroxy-2,5,7,8-tetramethylchroman-2-carboxylic acid (trolox). The SPMEs are organic‐resistant electrodes and thus compatible with food samples and organic solvents used to dissolve trolox. A micropipette was used to release a drop of 50 μL sample on the spotted surface of the SPME sensor/working electrode that was time programmed to function according to the working protocol. The SPME response was linearly correlated with trolox content. This preliminary demonstration was focused on the analysis of tea infusions, due to the simplicity and reproducibility of the samples’ preparations involved. Analytical results of the antioxidant capacity (expressed as mol·L−1 trolox equivalents) of the tea samples showed a good agreement in the case of spectrophotometry and differential pulse voltammetry (R2 > 0.998). DPV with SPME based on CUPRAC reactions was proven to be a promising approach for the characterization of antioxidant capacity of tea samples with rapid response, cost-effectiveness, and simplicity of operation.

The detection of tramadol using a screen printed electrode modified with La3+/ZnO nano-flowers and multi-walled carbon nanotubes (La3+/ZnO NFs-MWCNTs/SPE) is reported in this work. In order to examine tramadol electrochemical oxidation, the modified electrode was implemented with the utilization of differential pulse voltammetry, chronoamperometry and cyclic voltammetry as diagnostic techniques. The proposed electrode displays favorable electrocatalytic behavior concerning tramadol oxidation with an approximately 330 mV potential shift to a lesser positive potential. In the 0.5 to 800.0 μM range for tramadol, differential pulse voltammetry displays linear dynamic activity. Tramadol detection limit of 0.08 μM was derived within optimized testing conditions for this simple construction sensor. Lastly, this fabricated sensor was utilized with desirable results to determine tramadol in tramadol samples and urine samples.

Carbon nanopowder mixed with carbon ink was used as a working screen-printed electrode. This electrode consists of carbon nanopowder working electrode, carbon counter electrode, and silver/silver chloride reference electrode. The electrochemical behavior of ascorbic acid has been studied by cyclic voltammetry and differential pulse voltammetry with screen-printed carbon nanopowder electrode. The propose electrode will enhanced the sensitivity for antioxidance determination because increasing of the surface area of the working electrode. The voltammetric sensor offers several advantages to both the green chemistry and eco-friendly. The method was successfully employed with 2 microliter of the working solution dropped on the electrode surface. A linear concentration, limit of quantitation and limit of detection was sufficient for the ascorbic acid determination in the vitamin C tablet. The results obtained for the sample juices demonstrated that the powerful of the method.
