  3. Laboratory of Sensors for Electroanalysis Bio-electrochemical sensors • Preparation and characterization of sensors based on electrodes and arrays of electrodes of size from few nm to mm. • Direct electroanalysis of the redox enzymes such as Cytochrome c; • Electrochemical sensor for glucose analyses which employs glucose dehydrogenase and a special redox mediator (a nitrofluorenone), which is very efficient in catalyzing NADH oxidation (collaboration with University of Bordeaux 1); • Electrochemical immunosensors applied for the detection of the HER2 receptor. The HER2 receptor is an important target protein for the identification of cancer that can be treated successfully with Herceptin (Trastuzumab) by the so called personalized therapies (collaboration with ICGB-Trieste, prof. G. Stanta); • Recent development of new procedures suitable for immobilizing oligonucleotides on nanoelectrode ensembles (collaboration with AB-Analitica srl, Padua; CIVEN, Porto Marghera-Venezia; Karlsrue Institute of Technology - Dr. Ljljiana Fruk’s group).

  6. Sensitive Molecular Diagnostics with Electrochemical Biosensors and Ensembles of Nanoelectrodes Advantages of electrochemical nanobiosensors Wide possibilities for immobilizing biorecognition layers: enzymes, antibodies, DNA. Because of the nano-geometry: - highly improved S/N ratio (2-3 order of magnitudes) - suitable to extreme miniaturization. High sensitivity in small volume samples. Detection of µM-nM concentrations, in 10-100 µL volumes of turbid raw samples (= pico-moles of analyte). Electrochemical transduction of signals is: -simple - unaffected by light, turbidity etc. - does not require microscopy - instrumentation is cheap & transportable.

  16. Sensitive Molecular Diagnostics with Electrochemical Biosensors and Ensembles of Nanoelectrodes Toxicity of Bilirubin Hyperbilirubinemia is an excess of BR in the blood, occurring as a result of liver or biliary tract dysfunction or with excessive destruction of red blood cells. It is classified as conjugated or unconjugated, according to the type of bilirubin present. Jaundice is manifested when excess bilirubin is deposited in the skin and mucous membranes. • Hyperbilirubinemia in the newborn = excess of serum bilirubin in the newborn due either to overproduction of bilirubin, as in excessive destruction of erythrocytes, or to reduction in glucuronide conjugation in the liver. • If a high level of bilirubinemia is left untreated, kernicterus may occur as a result of free unconjugated bilirubin entering the brain • tissue and causing neurotoxic damage.
