Abstract
Tramadol, a widely used analgesic, plays a significant role in pain management but poses risks of misuse and addiction, necessitating accurate detection methods. Traditional analytical techniques for opioid determination, such as chromatography and mass spectrometry, often face limitations, including lengthy processing times, high costs, and the need for specialized equipment. In contrast, nanosensing technologies have emerged as innovative approaches for the sensitive and rapid detection of tramadol at the nanoscale. Over the past decade, extensive advancements in nanosensor development have demonstrated their potential to overcome the limitations of conventional methods. This paper aims to introduce and discuss recently developed nanosensors specifically designed for tramadol detection, highlighting their significance in pharmacology, forensic medicine, and point-of-care (POC) applications. By providing enhanced sensitivity, specificity, and real-time analysis, these nanosensing techniques signify a groundbreaking advancement in the efficient monitoring and management of tramadol usage.
期刊介绍:
The Official Journal of the International Federation of Clinical Chemistry and Laboratory Medicine (IFCC)
Clinica Chimica Acta is a high-quality journal which publishes original Research Communications in the field of clinical chemistry and laboratory medicine, defined as the diagnostic application of chemistry, biochemistry, immunochemistry, biochemical aspects of hematology, toxicology, and molecular biology to the study of human disease in body fluids and cells.
The objective of the journal is to publish novel information leading to a better understanding of biological mechanisms of human diseases, their prevention, diagnosis, and patient management. Reports of an applied clinical character are also welcome. Papers concerned with normal metabolic processes or with constituents of normal cells or body fluids, such as reports of experimental or clinical studies in animals, are only considered when they are clearly and directly relevant to human disease. Evaluation of commercial products have a low priority for publication, unless they are novel or represent a technological breakthrough. Studies dealing with effects of drugs and natural products and studies dealing with the redox status in various diseases are not within the journal''s scope. Development and evaluation of novel analytical methodologies where applicable to diagnostic clinical chemistry and laboratory medicine, including point-of-care testing, and topics on laboratory management and informatics will also be considered. Studies focused on emerging diagnostic technologies and (big) data analysis procedures including digitalization, mobile Health, and artificial Intelligence applied to Laboratory Medicine are also of interest.
