Exploration of shrimp shell chitin as an agricultural biostimulant and its effects on soil microbial respiration (2022)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Chitin (poly-(1→4)-β-N-acetyl-D-glucosamine) is a novel bio-stimulant derived from an inert by-product from sustainable fish production. This study observed the effect of chitin derived from shrimp shells on agricultural soil microorganism metabolism...

Novel method for the measurement of erythrocyte acetylcholinesterase activity in the Yt blood group system using amperometry in conjunction with screen-printed carbon electrodes (2020)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Background: The five antigens of the Yt blood group system are located on the membrane GPI‐linked erythrocyte acetylcholinesterase (AChE‐E), which is implicated in a range of clinical issues, including sleep apnoea and neurotoxin poisoning. Conformat...

A screen-printed, amperometric, biosensor array for the detection of organophosphate pesticides based on inhibition of wild type, and mutant acetylcholinesterases, from Drosophila melanogaster (2004)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Screen-printed carbon electrodes (SPCEs) modified with cobalt phthalocyanine (CoPC) have been used as base transducers in the construction of amperometric pesticide biosensors. Six individual biosensors were fabricated by depositing wildtype (WT) ace...
