    Abstract: A method for detecting Helicobacter pylori using an electrochemical test strip, comprising the following steps: making a subject to exhale a first gas sample into a detection zone of an electrochemical test strip via a blowpipe, using the electrochemical test strip to detect the first gas sample to obtain a background pH data; the subject is allowed to consume urea; making the subject to exhale a second gas sample into the detection zone of another/the electrochemical test strip via the blowpipe, using the electrochemical test strip to detect the second gas sample to obtain a desired pH data; comparing the background pH data and the desired pH data to determine whether the subject's stomach is infected with Helicobacter pylori.

    Abstract: A composite electrode includes a polypyrrole matrix, and metal nanoparticles coupled to the polypyrrole matrix. Assessing the presence of an analyte includes placing the composite electrode in a solution to be tested for the analyte, applying an electrical current to the electrode, and assessing the presence of an oxidation peak at a predetermined voltage with respect to a reference electrode. The presence of the oxidation peak at the predetermined voltage indicates the presence of the analyte. Fabricating the composite electrode includes electropolymerizing a polypyrrole matrix onto a metal substrate, separating the polypyrrole matrix from the metal substrate, and electrodepositing the metal nanoparticles onto the polypyrrole matrix to yield the electrode.

    Abstract: The present invention relates to a screen-printed electrode (1) for detecting a pollutant in a water sample, comprising: a substrate (2); a plurality of conductive tracks (3); an electrochemical cell (4), further comprising a working electrode (5), a pseudo-reference electrode (6) and an auxiliary electrode (7); and an insulating layer (8). Advantageously, said electrode comprises a filtering element (9) impregnated with an electrolyte, which not only filters the water sample received by the electrochemical cell (4), but also preconditions the sample without any user intervention. Therefore, the screen-printed electrode of the invention saves time in pre-processing samples for water pollution analysis while avoiding any possible contamination thereof by user manipulation.

    Abstract: A method for preparing a cobalt sulfide/reduced graphite oxide composite includes: preparing a glycerol-cobalt precursor by taking a water-soluble cobalt salt, a micromolecular alcohol solvent, and glycerol as raw materials; mixing the glycerol-cobalt precursor with an alkali liquor to prepare a Co(OH)2 nanoflower; calcining the Co(OH)2 nanoflower to obtain a Co3O4 nanoflower; subjecting the Co3O4 nanoflower to a reaction with a water-soluble sulfur salt to obtain a COS nanoflower, and mixing the COS nanoflower with graphite oxide and carrying out a heat treatment to obtain the composite. The response characteristics of a gas sensor to NO2 gas are studied at room temperature, and the graphite is complexed with a transition metal sulfide with unique morphology to construct a unique heterostructure. While expanding the specific surface area to increase the number of adsorption sites, the heterostructure of a contact surface is used to greatly enhance the charge-transfer efficiency.
