Item An Electrochemical Sensor for the Detection of Antibiotic Contaminants in WaterJacobs, Michael; Nagaraj, V. J.; Mertz, T.; Selvam, Anjan Panneer; Ngo, T.; Prasad, ShaliniA nanochannel-based electrochemical sensor for the detection of trace amounts of erythromycin has been developed. The sensor is capable of specifically detecting erythromycin, at a sensitivity of 0.001 parts per trillion, in various water samples and has potential utility in the assessment of environmental water quality.Item Nanochannel-Based Electrochemical Sensor for the Detection of Pharmaceutical Contaminants in WaterNagaraj, V. J.; Jacobs, Michael; Vattipalli, K. M.; Annam, V. P.; Prasad, ShaliniEffective real-time monitoring is the key to understanding and tackling the issue of pharmaceutical contamination of water. This research demonstrates the utility of an alumina nanochannel-based electrochemical sensor platform for the detection of ibuprofen in water derived from various sources. Our results indicate that the sensor is highly sensitive with a limit of detection at 0.25 pg mL⁻¹. The novel sensor described here has potential for application as a simple, rapid, inexpensive and highly reliable method for real-time environmental water quality assessment.
