Voltammetric behaviour of zinc at a 3-D printed carbon nanofiber–graphite–polystyrene electrode and its anodic stripping voltammetric determination in water (2017)
Presentation / Conference
Honeychurch, K. C., Rymansaib, Z., & Iravani, P. (2017, May). Voltammetric behaviour of zinc at a 3-D printed carbon nanofiber–graphite–polystyrene electrode and its anodic stripping voltammetric determination in water. Poster presented at 5th International Conference on Bio-Sensing Technology, Riva del Garda (on Lake Garda), Italy

Previous studies have shown the possibility of 3-D printing carbon electrodes. However, these studies required further fabrication steps. In this present investigation we show for the first time the possibility of utilising fully 3-D printed carbon n...

Introduction Efficient absorption, transportation and release of specimens from faecal transport swabs are characteristics that commercial swabs must possess to be compliant with the M40-A2 criteria. The aim of this study was to evaluate and compare... Read More about An evaluation of faecal transport swabs using the swab elution method in accordance with approved standard CLSI M40-A2.

The determination of nicotine in third-hand smoke by liquid chromatography with electrochemical detection and its application for the assessment of contaminated communal areas (2017)
Presentation / Conference
Peng, X., Bowdler, P., Giltrow, D., & Honeychurch, K. C. (2017, March). The determination of nicotine in third-hand smoke by liquid chromatography with electrochemical detection and its application for the assessment of contaminated communal areas. Poster presented at RSC Twitter Conference, Twitter

The term third-hand smoke (THS) can be defined as the contamination of surfaces by tobacco smoke. This can remain for extended periods of time and undergo further chemical reactions to produce further pollutants which can be re-suspended in dust or...

Presentation / Conference
Walter, Y., Bowdler, P., & Honeychurch, K. C. (2017, March). Determination of caffeine and paracetamol in Bristol harbour water by LC/MS/MS. Poster presented at RSC Twitter Conference 2017, Twitter

Anthropogenic inputs such as caffeine and paracetamol can be used as possible chemical markers of sewage pollution as their presence can be presumed to result from human sewage inputs. In this present investigation we determined the concentrations... Read More about Determination of caffeine and paracetamol in Bristol harbour water by LC/MS/MS.
