Background: While significant advancement has made to reduce the percentage of mortality during the treatment of chronic diseases, however, there are several challenges associated with the healthcare sector for the improvement of human lifestyle. Recently, the development of specific, sensitive, accurate, quick, low-cost and easy-to-use diagnostic tools are in great demand. Nanodiagnostic is defined as an application of Read More

Background: The invention of Surface Enhanced Raman Scattering by adsorbing molecules on nanostructured metal surfaces is a milestone in the development of spectroscopic and analytical techniques. Important experimental and theoretical efforts were geared towards understanding the Surface Enhanced Raman Scattering effect (SERS) and evaluating its significance in a wide range of fields in different types of ultrasensi Read More

Background: Mexiletine belongs to the β-amino-aryl-ether group of pharmaceutical and applied in the diagnosis of antiarrhythmics, allodynia, and myotonic disorders. In its chemical structure, it possesses a chiral center and practiced in the form of the racemic mixture. The production and accessibility of mexiletine have accompanied with a meaningful development in awareness of its pharmacologic actions. But in clinical a Read More

Background: The introduction of inorganic fillers into the polymer matrix (with multiplicity in functionalization) augments the specific properties of such materials. One such method employed here, which is environmental friendly and facile is the sol-gel synthesis Objective: The nanocomposite synthesized by the above-mentioned method was primarily utilized for ion-exchange applications in general and cation exchange in parti Read More

Background: The nanocomposites are formed by introducing inorganic nano-clusters, fullerenes, clays, metals, oxides with numerous organic polymers. The assembly of these materials exhibits better properties such as catalytic, thermal stability and adsorption properties, than the individual materials. Objective: The nanocomposite synthesized here by the sol-gel method was primarily evaluated for cation exchange Read More

Aim: The main strategy of this study is to develop a novel ionic liquid functionalized metal nanocomposite-based electrochemical sensor with potential applications for the sensitive electrochemical detection of rifampicin Background: Tuberculosis (TB) is a widespread disease that is caused by gram-positive Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB). In addition, for several decades, TB has become a constant threat to human health Read More

Background: Nanomaterials have facilitated remarkable advances in the remediation of many environmental problems. A few studies have tackled the removal of Co (II) from aqueous solutions using nanomaterials. Herein, we studied the retention kinetics of cobalt species on carbon nanotubes (CNTs) bearing different amounts of TiO2 and Fe3O4/TiO2 nanomaterials individually. Methods: CNTs and their TiO2/Fe3O4/TiO2-modified Read More

As a vital amino acid in the human body, tyrosine is indispensable in various biological processes, and therefore its accurate and simple determination is of crucial importance. In this work, a facile approach was developed to construct a molecularly imprinted sensor for tyrosine via co-electrodeposition of chitosan, β-cyclodextrin and tyrosine on the surface of indium tin oxide that was pre-coated with multi-walled ca Read More
