We review point-of-care (POC) diagnostics, in vitro diagnostic (IVD) tests that do not involve
the use of laboratory staff and facilities to provide the result. The analytical “targets” include …

Array‐based sensor “chemical nose/tongue” platforms are inspired by the mammalian
olfactory system. Multiple sensor elements in these devices selectively interact with target …

Gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) are some of the most extensively studied nanomaterials.
Because of their unique optical, chemical, electrical, and catalytic properties, AuNPs have …
