    Prescreening and disease detection offer significant benefits in the prevention of serious illnesses. Traditional screening methods for disease identification have been complex and expensive, often requiring invasive procedures, which can be both harmful and uncomfortable. To address these limitations, various non-invasive screening technologies have been developed. Among recent innovations, the liquid–solid interface concept has emerged as a promising avenue for nanogenerator applications, enabling the harvesting and sensing of liquid energy and substances. In this study, we introduce a liquid–solid interface triboelectric sensor (LS-TES) for non-invasive disease screening and sensing. The LS-TES, utilizing a double-electrode configuration, delivers an immediate electrical response upon droplet contact with the solid surface and top electrode. In the case of urine glucose monitoring, our findings demonstrate a significant reduction in electrical signals with increasing concentrations of glucose, as glucose molecules hinder electron transfer from water to the solid surface, thereby disrupting the formation of the electrical double layer at the liquid–solid interface. The sensor exhibits excellent glucose sensing performance within a concentration range of 0.2 mM to 14 mM, with a detection limit of 0.25 mM and a rapid response time of 5–10 s. The LS-TES is cost-effective, highly stable, and reusable, maintaining consistent electrical responses across ten cycles of alternating droplet measurements. This work presents a preclinical assessment approach, specifically for urine glucose monitoring, utilizing an innovative sensor based on the liquid–solid interface. The proposed concept has the potential to serve as an individual indicator for early medical symptom detection, offering relief to a large number of patients.

    Biodetection for non-invasive diagnostics of fluids, especially urine, remains a challenge to scientists due to low target concentrations. And biological complexes of the detection target may contain contaminants that also interfere with any assay. Dengue non-structural 1 protein (Dengue NS1) is an important biomarker for dengue hemorrhagic fever and dengue shock syndrome. Here, we developed an Au-decorated nanowire platform and applied it with a sandwich fluorophore-linked immunosorbent well plate assay (FLISA) to detect Dengue NS1 in urine. For the platform, we fabricated zinc oxide (ZnO) nanowires to provide a high surface area and then coated them with gold nanoparticles (ZnO/Au nanowires) to simply modify the Dengue NS1 antibody and enhance the fluorescence intensity. Our platform employs a sandwich FLISA that exhibits high sensitivity, specifically detecting Dengue NS1 with a limit of detection (LOD) of 1.35 pg/mL. This LOD was 4500-fold lower than the LOD of a commercially available kit for Dengue NS1 enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. We believe that our ZnO/Au nanowire platform has the potential to revolutionize the field of non-invasive diagnostics for dengue.

    Background: Gold nanoparticles (Au NPs) are normally prepared using standard gold (III) trichloride which is much expensive and irritant. This work is aimed at demonstrating simple and low-cost synthesis of Au NPs from the reused traditional gold leaf which is cost-free and less toxic. Methods: The reused gold leaf was donated by the local temple. It was digested and used as the precursor for the preparation of the Au NPs by Turkevich method. Poly (vinyl alcohol) (PVA) was em-ployed as a stabilizer. The as-prepared Au NPs were applied for the colorimetric determination of creatinine in urine without any sample pretreatment. Results: Long-term stability of the gold colloids was achieved for at least 3 months. Morphology and purity of the as-prepared Au NPs were the same as the ones prepared from standard gold (III) salt and standard gold foil. Colorimetric response of the Au NPs was linear to the standard creatinine up to 200 mg L<sup>-1</sup>. The limit of detection (0.16 mg L<sup>-1</sup> or 1.41 µM) was enough sensitive for urinary cre-atinine detection in patients with kidney disease. Good recoveries (97-108%) and fast analysis time (3 min) were achieved. The developed method was successfully validated against the HPLC method. Conclusion: Facile and cost-effective synthesis of the Au NPs from the reused traditional gold leaf, was accomplished. The as-prepared Au NPs were successfully applied for the determination of urinary creatinine with high sensitivity and selectivity.

    This study investigated an electrocatalytic behavior of non-enzymatic glucose detection in urine by using low-cost non-precious metal CoFe catalyst on carbon (C) supported. The bimetal catalyst was prepared by the reduction of oleic acid and loaded 10% wt. metal onto the activated carbon. Due to the synergistic effect, CoFe exhibited its intrinsic electrocatalytic property, suitable for the chemisorption of glucose molecule and the d-electron of metal. For morphology and elemental composition, CoFe/C was characterized by Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM), and X-ray Energy Dispersive Spectroscopy (EDS) and X-ray Diffraction (XRD), exhibiting Co(111) and Fe2O3(104) with the nanocluster average diameter of 25 nm. More importantly, electrocatalytic behaviors of CoFe/C were assessed by cyclic voltammetry (CV) and Differential Pulse Voltammetry (DPV) on the glassy carbon rotating disk electrode for glucose detection (0-3 mM) in modified artificial urine (mAUM), and human urine specimens. In particular, excellent sensitivities from the lower range of glucose level (< 1 mM) and the higher level by DPV in mAUM were estimated to be 318.42 and 82.20 µA.cm<sup>-2</sup>.mM<sup>-1</sup> with the correlation coefficient (R<sup>2</sup> ) values of 0.90 and 0.94, respectively. Furthermore, the as-prepared CoFe/C biosensor also demonstrated practical measurement in human urine sample with the sensitivity of 59.72 µA.cm<sup>-2</sup>.mM<sup>-1</sup> (R<sup>2</sup> = 0.99) without any electron facilitators (e.g. sodium hydroxide), thereby providing a promising cost-effective catalyst design for future technology of non-enzymatic glucose sensing applications in urine.

    This work demonstrates use of a smart mobile phone installed with an Android application, termed ‘Albumin smart test’, as an analyzer for quantitative determination of urinary albumin. The reaction between albumin and tetrabromophenolphthalein ethyl ester (TBPE) in the presence of Triton X-100 was employed for detection principle.The mobile phone was exploited with the sample cassette and the test paper. One sample cassette composes of two holders for accommodation of control and test samples. The test paper was designed in order to contain standard colorimetric strip and space for situating the sample cassette. Optical images of the strip and the samples were simultaneously captured in a single shot by a digital camera of the mobile phone and were digitally processed by the developed application for quantification of the albumin concentration based on self-calibration approach. With the advantage of self-calibration, the albumin test by our mobile phone can be performed in ambient light without using any extra module integrated with lighting control device. The other advantages are portability, ease of implementation and rapid analysis (3 min) with high precision (RSD ≤ 2.5%) and high accuracy (Recovery = 98.7% ± 1.6). The mobile device was successfully applied to diagnosis of microalbuminuria.

    This work presents development of a method for the dual determination of Fe(III) and creatinine using cross injection analysis (CIA). Two CIA platforms connected in series accommodated sample and reagents plugs aspirated via y-direction channels while water was pumped through the x-direction channel toward a flow-through cell of a diode array UV-vis. detector. Iron was detected from the colorimetric reaction between Fe(II) and 2-(5-bromo-2-pyridylazo)-5-(N-propyl-N-(3-sulfopropyl)amino) aniline (5-Br-PSAA), with prior reduction of Fe(III) to Fe(II) by ascorbic acid. The Jaffes reaction was employed for the detection of creatinine. Under the optimal conditions, good linearity ranges were achieved for iron in the range 0.5 to 7 mg L<sup>-1</sup> and creatinine in the range 50 to 800 mg L<sup>-1</sup>. The CIA system was applied to spot urine samples from thalassemic patients undergoing iron chelation therapy, and was successfully validated with ICP-OES and batchwise Jaffes method. Normalization of urinary iron excretion with creatinine is useful for correcting the iron concentration between urine samples due to variation of the collected urine volume.
