This paper reports a first microbial biosensor for rapid and cost-effectivedetermination of organophosphorus pesticides fenitrothion and EPN. The biosensorconsisted of recombinant PNP-degrading/oxidizing bacteria Pseudomonas putida JS444anchoring and...

The “Third International Symposium on Sensor Science (I3S 2005)” was held at the Aachen University of Applied Sciences (AcUAS) from 18-21 July 2005 in Jülich, Germany.[...]

A polyaniline-based conducting composite was prepared by oxidativepolymerisation of aniline in a polyvinylchloride (PVC) matrix. The coherent free standingthin films of the composite were prepared by a solution casting method. The polyvinylchloride-p...

A multi-sensor system is a chemical sensor system which quantitatively andqualitatively records gases with a combination of cross-sensitive gas sensor arrays andpattern recognition software. This paper addresses the issue of data analysis foridentifi...

A solid-state amperometric hydrogen sensor based on a protonated Nafionmembrane and catalytic active electrode operating at room temperature was fabricated andtested. Ionic conducting polymer-metal electrode interfaces were prepared chemically byusin...

The workflow of a high throughput screening setup for the rapid identification ofnew and improved sensor materials is presented. The polyol method was applied to preparenanoparticular metal oxides as base materials, which were functionalised by surfa...

An H2O2 sensor for the application in industrial sterilisation processes has beendeveloped. Therefore, automated sterilisation equipment at laboratory scale has beenconstructed using parts from industrial sterilisation facilities. In addition, a soft...

We report on the synthesis and CO gas-sensing properties of mesoporoustin(IV) oxides (SnO2). For the synthesis cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTABr) wasused as a structure-directing agent; the resulting SnO2 powders were applied as films tocommercia...

Quartz crystal nanobalance (QCN) sensors are considered as powerful mass-sensitive sensors to determine materials in the sub-nanogram level. In this study, a singlepiezoelectric quartz crystal nanobalance modified with polystyrene was employed to det...

An array of 50 MHz quartz microbalances (QMBs) coated with a dendronizedpolymer was used to detect small amounts of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in the gasphase. The results were compared to those obtained with the commonly used 10 MHzQMBs. The...
