Abstract
One of the most significant developed technologies is the use of acoustic waves to determine the chemical structures of biological tissues and their bioactivities. In addition, the use of new acoustic techniques for in vivo visualizing and imaging of animal and plant cellular chemical compositions could significantly help pave the way toward advanced analytical technologies. For instance, acoustic wave sensors (AWSs) based on quartz crystal microbalance (QCM) were used to identify the aromas of fermenting tea such as linalool, geraniol, and trans-2-hexenal. Therefore, this review focuses on the use of advanced acoustic technologies for tracking the composition changes in plant and animal tissues. In addition, a few key configurations of the AWS sensors and their different wave pattern applications in biomedical and microfluidic media progress are discussed.

Abstract
Acoustic devices have found wide applications in chemical and biosensing fields owing to their high sensitivity, ruggedness, miniaturized design and integration ability with on-field electronic systems. One of the potential advantages of using these devices are their label-free detection mechanism since mass is the fundamental property of any target analyte which is monitored by these devices. Herein, we provide a concise overview of high frequency acoustic transducers such as quartz crystal microbalance (QCM), surface acoustic wave (SAW) and film bulk acoustic resonators (FBARs) to compare their working principles, resonance frequencies, selection of piezoelectric materials for their fabrication, temperature-frequency dependency and operation in the liquid phase. The selected sensor applications of these high frequency acoustic transducers are discussed primarily focusing on the two main sensing domains, i.e., biosensing for working in liquids and gas/vapor phase sensing. Furthermore, the sensor performance of high frequency acoustic transducers in selected cases is compared with well-established analytical tools such as liquid chromatography mass spectrometry (LC-MS), gas chromatographic (GC) analysis and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) methods. Finally, a general comparison of these acoustic devices is conducted to discuss their strengths, limitations, and commercial adaptability thus, to select the most suitable transducer for a particular chemical/biochemical sensing domain.

Abstract
Dysregulation of neurotransmitters (NTs) in the human body are related to diseases such as Parkinson's and Alzheimer's. The mechanisms of several neurological disorders, such as epilepsy, have been linked to NTs. Because the number of diagnosed cases is increasing, the diagnosis and treatment of such diseases are important. To detect biomolecules including NTs, microtechnology, micro and nanoelectronics have become popular in the form of the miniaturization of medical and clinical devices. They offer high-performance features in terms of sensitivity, as well as low-background noise. In this paper, we review various devices and circuit techniques used for monitoring NTs in vitro and in vivo and compare various methods described in recent publications.

Abstract
A new silica-gel nanospheres (SiO2NPs) composition was formulated, followed by biochemical surface functionalization to examine its potential in urea biosensor development. The SiO2NPs were basically synthesized based on sol–gel chemistry using a modified Stober method. The SiO2NPs surfaces were modified with amine (-NH2) functional groups for urease immobilization in the presence of glutaric acid (GA) cross-linker. The chromoionophore pH-sensitive dye ETH 5294 was physically adsorbed on the functionalized SiO2NPs as pH transducer. The immobilized urease determined urea concentration reflectometrically based on the colour change of the immobilized chromoionophore as a result of the enzymatic hydrolysis of urea. The pH changes on the biosensor due to the catalytic enzyme reaction of immobilized urease were found to correlate with the urea concentrations over a linear response range of 50–500 mM (R2 = 0.96) with a detection limit of 10 mM urea. The biosensor response time was 9 min with reproducibility of less than 10% relative standard deviation (RSD). This optical urea biosensor did not show interferences by Na+, K+, Mg2+ and NH4+ ions. The biosensor performance has been validated using urine samples in comparison with a non-enzymatic method based on the use of p-dimethylaminobenzaldehyde (DMAB) reagent and demonstrated a good correlation between the two different methods (R2 = 0.996 and regression slope of 1.0307). The SiO2NPs-based reflectometric urea biosensor showed improved dynamic linear response range when compared to other nanoparticle-based optical urea biosensors.

Abstract
Electrochemical deposition of crosslinked oxo-cyanoruthenate, Ru-O/CN-O, from a mixture of RuCl3 and K4Ru(CN)6 is known to yield a film on glassy carbon that promotes oxidations by a combination of electron and oxygen transfer. Layer-by-layer (LbL) deposition of this species and of a film formed by cycling of the electrode potential in a ZrO2 solution systematically increases the number of catalytically active sites of the Ru-O/CN-O on the electrode. The evaluation of the electrocatalytic activity was by cyclic voltammetric oxidation of cysteine at pH 2. Plots of the anodic peak current vs. the square root of scan rate were indicative of linear diffusion control of this oxidation, even in the absence of ZrO2, but the slopes of these linear plots increased with bilayer number, n, of (ZrO2 | Ru-O/CN-O) n . The latter observation is hypothesized to be due to an increased number of active sites for a given geometric electrode area, but proof required further study. To optimize utilization of the catalyst and to provide a size-exclusion characteristic to the electrode, the study was extended to LbL deposition of the composite in 50-nm pores of an organically modified silica film deposited by electrochemically assisted sol-gel processing using surface-bound poly(styrene sulfonate) nanospheres as a templating agent.

Abstract
The synthesis, characterization, and evaluation of a novel polymer-protein conjugate are reported here. The covalent conjugation of high-molecular weight poly(acrylic acid) (PAA) to the lysine amino groups of met-hemoglobin (Hb) resulted in the covalent conjugation of Hb to PAA (Hb-PAA conjugate), as confirmed by dialysis and electrophoresis studies. The retention of native-like structure of Hb in Hb-PAA was established from Soret absorption, circular dichroism studies, and the redox activity of the iron center in Hb-PAA. The peroxidase-like activities of the Hb-PAA conjugate further confirmed the retention of Hb structure and biological activity. Thermal denaturation of the conjugate was investigated by differential scanning calorimetry and steam sterilization studies. The Hb-PAA conjugate indicated an improved denaturation temperature (T(d)) when compared to that of the unmodified Hb. One astonishing observation was that polymer conjugation significantly enhanced the Hb-PAA storage stability at room temperature. After 120 h of storage at room temperature in phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) at pH 7.4, for example, Hb-PAA retained 90% of its initial activity and unmodified Hb retained <60% of its original activity under identical conditions of buffer, pH, and temperature. Our conjugate demonstrates the key role of polymers in enhancing Hb stability via a very simple, efficient, general route. Water-swollen, lightly cross-linked, stable Hb-polymer nanogels of 100-200 nm were produced quickly and economically by this approach for a wide variety of applications.

Abstract
The covalent attachment of a sol–gel thin film onto a glassy carbon electrode has been accomplished through the electrochemical reduction of 4-hydroxyphenyldiazonium. The latter forms a very thin layer on the glassy carbon with hydroxyl groups, through which the sol–gel is attached. We find that this “molecular glue” improves the adhesion of thin layers of sol–gel to a carbonaceous surface.

Abstract
Sol-gel technique has been used for the covalent immobilization of the water-soluble mediator, thionin to construct a bulk modified, leak free composite electrode. This renewable composite electrode provides stable immobilization matrix for thionin via glutaraldehyde crosslinking. In the electrode composition the sol-gel precursor 3-aminopropyltrimethoxy silane serves as the host for immobilization of thionin, thereby preventing its leakage. An additional precursor methyl trimethoxy silane endows hydrophobicity and limits the wetting section of the modified electrode. Cyclic voltammetric characterization of the modified electrode in the potential range of 0.2 to -0.6 V exhibited stable redox peaks with a formal potential of -0.273 V, corresponding to immobilized thionin. This chemically modified electrode exhibits good electrocatalytic activity for the reduction of H(2)O(2) at a lower potential of -0.35 V. The reduction current of the modified electrode increases linearly in the range of 3.44 x 10(-6)M to 3.07 x 10(-3)M H(2)O(2) with a detection limit of 1.38 x 10(-6)M. The stable and quick response (5s) during chronoamperometry shows the potential application of the modified electrode for flow system analysis. The low potential operation (-0.35 V) favoured selective determination of H(2)O(2). The composite electrode exhibits distinct advantages of polishing in the event of surface fouling as well as simple preparation, good chemical and mechanical stability, economical and remarkable long-term stability (more than 1 year). The applicability of the present sensor for H(2)O(2) determination proposes a method for the detection of other biologically significant analytes.

Abstract
A carbon composite amperometric hydrogen peroxide sensor has been developed using a sol-gel technique. Toluidine blue (TB), which acts as the redox mediator, was covalently immobilized via glutaraldehyde crosslinking with an organically modified silane, namely 3-aminopropyltrimethoxysilane (APTMOS). Methyltrimethoxysilane (MTMOS) was used as the additional monomer; this controls the hydrophobicity of the electrode surface, thus limiting the wettability. The immobilization of TB within the sol-gel matrix was confirmed with FTIR studies. The sol-gel mixture containing TB immobilized in APTMOS and MTMOS was mixed with graphite powder in order to prepare the carbon composite electrode. The electrode was characterized using voltammetric techniques and its electrocatalytic activity for the reduction of hydrogen peroxide was also studied. The carbon composite electrode has the advantage of sensing H(2)O(2) at a lower potential and with a higher sensitivity, and interferences due to ascorbic acid, uric acid and acetaminophen were greatly minimized. The linear range for the determination of H(2)O(2) extends from 5.37 x 10(-6) to 6.15 x 10(-3) M, with a correlation coefficient of 0.9981. The detection limit was found to be 2.15 x 10(-6) M. The covalent immobilization of TB effectively prevents the leakage of the water-soluble mediator during measurements. The modified electrode, aside from electrocatalyzing the reduction of H(2)O(2), exhibits distinct advantages in terms of surface renewal in the event of surface fouling, as well as simple preparation, good chemical and mechanical stability, and good reproducibility.

Abstract
Zeolites and molecular sieves are synthesized using organic structure-directing agents (SDAs) that have the potential to be degraded into fragments within the pore space so that they can be readily extracted at mild conditions. The zeolites and molecular sieves, VPI-8, ZSM-12, and ZSM-5, are synthesized using the ketal-containing SDA, 8,8-dimethyl-1,4-dioxa-8-azoniaspiro[4,5]decane (SDA-1). As expected, solids with unidimensional pore systems (VPI-8, ZSM-12) are much more difficult to process by this methodology than solids containing multidimensional pore systems (ZSM-5). Pore-filling agents (PFAs) such as isobutylamine and cyclopentylamine are used together with the ketal-containing SDA-1 to prepare ZSM-5. Extraction of the PFA is shown to be feasible, and its removal provides space for components to enter the zeolite micropores where they react with and cleave SDA-1. Removal of the cleavage fragments from SDA-1 gives ZSM-5 that has the appropriate pore volume, framework aluminum (measured by 27Al NMR), and catalytic behavior. Reasons for desiring this new type of zeolite synthesis method are enumerated.

Abstract
Many proteins can be immobilized in silica hydrogel matrices without compromising their function, making this a suitable technique for biosensor applications. Immobilization will in general affect protein structure and dynamics. To study these effects, we have measured the P(+)Q(A)(-) charge recombination kinetics after laser excitation of Q(B)-depleted wild-type photosynthetic reaction centers from Rhodobacter sphaeroides in a tetramethoxysilane (TMOS) sol-gel matrix and, for comparison, also in cryosolvent. The nonexponential electron transfer kinetics observed between 10 and 300 K were analyzed quantitatively using the spin boson model for the intrinsic temperature dependence of the electron transfer and an adiabatic change of the energy gap and electronic coupling caused by protein motions in response to the altered charge distributions. The analysis reveals similarities and differences in the TMOS-matrix and bulk-solvent samples. In both preparations, electron transfer is coupled to the same spectrum of low frequency phonons. As in bulk solvent, charge-solvating protein motions are present in the TMOS matrix. Large-scale conformational changes are arrested in the hydrogel, as evident from the nonexponential kinetics even at room temperature. The altered dynamics is likely responsible for the observed changes in the electronic coupling matrix element.

Abstract
Since the introduction of sol-gel bioencapsulation and the demonstration that biological function can be incorporated into, and preserved within, polymer matrices, a number of alternative polymers have been used to immobilize proteins. Various enzymes have been trapped in such diverse polymers as epoxy-amine resins, polyvinyl plastics, polyurethane foams and silicone elastomers. Together with sol-gel encapsulates, these biocomposites represent a powerful approach for immobilizing biological materials for applications as biosensors and biocatalysts, and hold promise as bioactive, fouling-resistant polymers for environmental, food and medical uses. Although still at the developmental stage, these biocomposites promise to revolutionize the whole arena of high-performance bioimmobilization.
