Electrochemical Detection and Characterization of Nanoparticles with Printed Devices

Innovative methods to achieve the user-friendly, quick, and highly sensitive detection of nanomaterials are urgently needed. Nanomaterials have increased importance in commercial products, and there are concerns about the potential risk that they entail for the environment. In addition, detection of nanomaterials can be a highly valuable tool in many applications, such as biosensing. Electrochemical methods using disposable, low-cost, printed electrodes provide excellent analytical performance for the detection of a wide set of nanomaterials. In this review, the foundations and latest advances of several electrochemical strategies for the detection of nanoparticles using cost-effective printed devices are introduced. These strategies will equip the experimentalist with an extensive toolbox for the detection of nanoparticles of different chemical nature and possible applications ranging from quality control to environmental analysis and biosensing.

Product Output

The Quality Control (QC) system, based on simple, cheap equipment and minimum personnel time, enables a resource-limited facility and staff to control the fundamental components of the imaging process on a low cost basis. Quality Assurance (QA) is a product or service quality management program. Customer reviews, capacity building and quality control can also be included. Quality control requires specific measures for ensuring measurable process-related aspects of product output or for the delivery of services within a given limit. Research was conducted at the Medical Physics Department of Red Sea University. The main objective of this work was to boost quality assurance rays. The imagination is more user-friendly and produces better results than a person or object. Phantoms, including fluoroscopy or x-rays, and certain image quality measurements have been used in x-rays imaging. The manufactured phantom in this study showed high precision in different QC tests.

Abstract BackgroundThe fiber quality and resistance traits of Gossypium barbadense are considerably better than that of other Gossypium species. Simple sequence repeats (SSRs) are user friendly, low cost markers widely used in genetic studies. However, most SSRs have been developed from G. hirsutum, G. arboreum, and G. raimondii; no genome-wide SSRs have been developed from G. barbadense.The de novo sequences of G. barbadense cv. Xinhai21 were utilized to develop SSR markers and scanned to detect SSRs using the MIcroSAtellite (http://pgrc.ipk-gatersleben.de/misa/) identification tool. And then in silico PCR analysis was conducted to evaluate these primers polymorphism in five Gossypium species.ResultsIn total, 85,582 SSRs were identified with different motifs. 153,560 primer pairs were successfully designed for 73,419 SSRs. In silico analysis, we found that 8,466 primer pairs of 3,288 SSRs yielded one product (monomorphic) simultaneously in five Gossypium species. two Gossypium species (30 G. hirsutum and 27 G. barbadense accessions) were successfully separated by 300 primer pairs with the polymorphism information content (PIC) ranging from 0.00 to 0.93. ConclusionThese newly developed SSR markers will be helpful for the construction of genetic linkage maps, genetic diversity analyses, QTL mapping, and molecular breeding of Gossypium species.
