Article Citation - WoS: 7Citation - Scopus: 9A Screen-Printed Electrode Modified With Gold Nanoparticles/ Cellulose Nanocrystals for Electrochemical Detection of 4,4'-methylene Diphenyl Diamine(Elsevier, 2023) Büyüktaş, Duygu; Ghaani, Masoud; Rovera, Cesare; Carullo, Daniele; Olsson, Richard T.; Korel, Figen; Farris, StefanoDeveloping simple, cost-effective, easy-to-use, and reliable analytical devices if of utmost importance for the food industry for rapid in-line checks of their products that must comply with the provisions set by the current legislation. The purpose of this study was to develop a new electrochemical sensor for the food packaging sector. More specifically, we propose a screen -printed electrode (SPE) modified with cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) and gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) for the quantification of 4,4'-methylene diphenyl diamine (MDA), which is one of the most important PAAs that can transfer from food packaging materials into food stuffs. The electrochemical performance of the proposed sensor (AuNPs/CNCs/SPE) in the presence of 4,4'- MDA was evaluated using cyclic voltammetry (CV). The modified AuNPs/CNCs/SPE showed the highest sensitivity for 4,4'-MDA detection, with a peak current of 9.81 mu A compared with 7.08 mu A for the bare SPE. The highest sensitivity for 4,4'-MDA oxidation was observed at pH = 7, whereas the detection limit was found at 57 nM and the current response of 4,4'-MDA rose linearly as its concentration increased from 0.12 mu M to 100 mu M. Experiments using real packaging materials revealed that employing nanoparticles dramatically improved both the sensitivity and the selectivity of the sensor, which can be thus considered as a new analytical tool for quick, simple, and accurate measurement of 4,4 '-MDA during converting operations.Article Citation - WoS: 11Citation - Scopus: 11Absorbance-Based Detection of Arsenic in a Microfluidic System With Push-And Pumping(Elsevier, 2021) Karakuzu, Betül; Gülmez, Yekta; Tekin, H. CumhurRapid and portable analysis of arsenic (As) contamination in drinking water is very important due to its adverse health effects on humans. Available commercial detection kits have shown low sensitivity and selectivity in analysis, and also they can generate harmful by-products. Microfluidic-based approaches allow portable analysis with gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) as labels. However, they need complex surface modification steps that complicate detection protocols. Due to the lack of precise sensing and affordable solution, we focused on developing a microfluidic platform that uses a push-and-pull pumping method for sensitive detection of As. In this detection principle, a sample is introduced in the microfluidic channel modified with -SH functional groups where As can bind. Then, AuNPs are given in the channel and AuNPs bind on free -SH functional groups which are not allocated with As. Absorbance measurements are conducted to detect AuNPs absorbed on the surfaces and the resulting absorbance value is inversely proportional with As concentration. The method enables detection of As down to 2.2 mu g/L concentration levels in drinking water, which is well-below the allowed maximum As concentration of 10 mu g/L in the drinking waters by the World Health Organization (WHO). The paper reveals that multiple push-and-pull pumping of fixed volume of sample and AuNPs with a syringe pump can improve the binding efficiency in the microfluidic channel. With this technique, low amounts of sample (1 mL) and short total assay time (25 min) are sufficient to detect As.
