Among various techniques, 3D-printed technology is a promising candidate for the fabrication of biosensors and biomedical detection devices with a wide variety of potential applications. This review offers four important 3D printing techniques for biosensors and biomedical detection devices and their applications. The principle and printing process of 3D-printed technologies will be generalized, and the printing performance of many 3D printers will be compared. Despite the resolution restrictions of 3D-printed, these technologies have already shown promising applications in many biosensors and biomedical detection devices, such as 3D-printed microfluidic devices, 3D-printed optical devices, 3D-printed electrochemical devices, and 3D-printed integrated devices. Some of the most representative examples will also be discussed here, demonstrating that 3D-printed technology can rationally design biosensors and biomedical detection devices and achieve important applications in microfluidic, optical, electrochemical, and integrated devices.","PeriodicalId":72870,"journal":{"name":"ECS sensors plus","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-07-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41987633","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The main purpose of the creation of this article is to propagate an era of quantitative metrics to better assess environmental health which can adversely impact human health. This review assesses 3 different environmental vectors prone to pollution and in high contact with human entities. This review also discusses different electrochemical sensing platforms used as biosensors for the detection of a wide myriad of pollutants with an adverse effect on human health. Furthermore, the breakdown of each section includes a survey of the evolution and design of various sensor platforms that are aimed towards a comprehensive monitoring platform for pollutant screening with an emphasis on agro-safety and environmental health. Detailed pesticide screening case-studies are also explored for a better understanding of the current electrochemical biosensors that exist for the sole purpose of environmental monitoring.","PeriodicalId":72870,"journal":{"name":"ECS sensors plus","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44684875","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The sensing elements of the fluid-based technology that are used in the accelerometer and gyroscope are explained. Moreover, a comparison and analysis of those sensing elements are presented. The comparison shows that the thermal resistor has five orders of magnitude which is the highest dynamic range. However, the porous transducer is higher in bandwidth which is almost 120 Hz. Furthermore, the particle imaging velocimetry gyroscope (PIVG) is reviewed. The PIVG is an innovative technology that is used to measure the angular rate where fluid is used as proof of mass. The review shows that the PIVG is low-cost and almost drift-free. Additionally, compared to commercially available gyroscopes, PIVG provides a superior signal-to-noise ratio (SNR).","PeriodicalId":72870,"journal":{"name":"ECS sensors plus","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-04-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44581462","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This paper proposes a watch-type of dual-mode WHD that can perform gaseous phase detection to monitor dangerous environmental situations such as bad air quality and aqueous phase detection to measure physiological signals from human sweat or blood. The proposed system was fabricated on a printed circuit board and its size is 3 cm × 3 cm which is suitable as a wearable device. It also consumes very low power and has capabilities of wired/wireless charging and wired/wireless communication.

The MTAH sample shows greater porosity in comparison to MTA, and MAC samples. The band gap of MTAH is 4.08 eV, which is higher than MTA (2.92 eV), and MAC (2.80 eV). Rietveld quantitative phase analysis of all derivatives was performed and compared with all three samples. The LPG sensing at room temperature shows the highest sensor response of 9.42, in comparison to 3.87 sensor response for MAC, and 4.60 for MTA. This approximately double sensor response increment is justified with the help of band gap, porosity, and size of all 3 the samples. The MTAH sample shows the lowest response-recovery time of 9.33 and 10.78 s respectively in comparison to MAC and MTA samples.
