Applications of nanosensor technology for the plant sciences (2022)
Digital Artefact
Shaw, D. S., & Honeychurch, K. C. (2022). Applications of nanosensor technology for the plant sciences

The detection of analytes is optically difficult in planta due to tissue thickness and the presence of photosynthetic pigments in plant tissues. Nanosensors are well-suited for the detection of analytes as they are easily embedded in plant tissues. T... Read More about Applications of nanosensor technology for the plant sciences.

Application of head space gas chromatography mass spectrometry (HS-GCMS) to determine fragrances transferred between fabrics with varying force of contact (2022)
Conference Proceeding
Honeychurch, K. (2022). Application of head space gas chromatography mass spectrometry (HS-GCMS) to determine fragrances transferred between fabrics with varying force of contact. In S. Urban, V. Skerikova, P. Pouzarova, & T. Uhlikova (Eds.), Book of abstracts of the First International workshop on Chemical Analysis of Human Scent for Forensic Purposes (30)

In recent years, offenders have become more forensically aware; leading to the need for the development of new and novel evidence types. One such potential evidence type that we believe deserves further investigation is that of fragrance transfer. Lo...

Voltammetric behaviour of Rhodamine B at a screen-printed Carbon electrode and its trace determination in environmental water samples (2022)
Journal Article
Honeychurch, K. C. (2022). Voltammetric behaviour of Rhodamine B at a screen-printed Carbon electrode and its trace determination in environmental water samples. Sensors, 22(12), 4631. https://doi.org/10.3390/s22124631

The voltammetric behaviour of Rhodamine B was studied at a screen‐printed carbon electrode (SPCE), by cyclic and differential pulse voltammetry. Cyclic voltammograms exhibited two reduction peaks (designated R1 and R2) generated from the reduction of...

Smartphone-based colorimetric determination of gamma-butyrolactone and gamma-hydroxybutyrate in alcoholic beverage samples (2022)
Journal Article
Procida, A., & Honeychurch, K. C. (2022). Smartphone-based colorimetric determination of gamma-butyrolactone and gamma-hydroxybutyrate in alcoholic beverage samples. Journal of Forensic Sciences, 67(4), 1697-1703. https://doi.org/10.1111/1556-4029.15042

Gamma-hydroxybutyrate (GBH) is a popular recreational drug. Its strong sedative and amnesic effects have led to drug-facilitated sexual assaults, poisonings, overdose, and death. As a result, legislation has restricted its availability leading to GHB...
