Abstract:
The electrochemical interaction of mycotoxin, Fumonisin B1 (FB1) with fish sperm double stranded DNA (fsDNA) was investigated by using electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) technique. The pencil graphite electrodes were used for impedimetric detection of fsDNA and FB1, and also the impedimetric monitoring of surface confined interaction of FB1 with fsDNA under the optimized conditions. The experimental conditions; the concentration of DNA and FB1 and the interaction time of FB1 with fsDNA were firstly optimized. The main features of impedimetric DNA biosensor, such as its detection limit with the reproducubility were also discussed. The selectivity of detection of interaction between FB1 and fsDNA was also explored in the mixture samples containing FB1 and each of other mycotoxins, such as zearalenone (ZEN), deoxyvinalenol (DON) in order to examine the selectivity of impedimetric DNA biosensor.

Detection of Black Holes
Their closest cousins are neutron stars, which are composed almost entirely of neutrons packed against each other, making them extremely dense. A neutron star has the same mass as the Sun but its diameter is only a few kilometers. Therefore, the escape velocity from their surface is close to the speed of light.
Not until the 1960s, when the first neutron...

Effects of EDTA on End-Point Detection Methods
In the visual method, metal-ion indicators (metallochromic dyes), which have distinct colors in their free and complex forms, are added to the mixture to signal the titration's end point. They form stable complexes with metal ions, but these complexes are weaker than the corresponding metal–EDTA complexes. As a...
Types of Errors: Detection and Minimization
Absolute error in a measurement is the numerical difference from the true or central value. Relative error is the ratio between absolute error and the true or central value, expressed as a percentage.
Errors can be classified by source, magnitude, and sign. There are three types of errors: systematic, random, and gross.
