Product Information

CG-STAT: Hand-held Potentiostat for cyanogenic Gycoside detection in fermented bamboo shoots

An Electronics and ICT driven solution towards fermented food safety in NE Food

Brief Description

A high-throughput field portable miniaturized Potentiostat with stabilized enzymatic bioreceptor toward cost effective cyanogenic glycoside detection in fermented food: special reference to bamboo shoot. Cyanogenic glycosides, present in bamboo shoot may lead to acute intoxications in humans, characterized: Growth retardation and neurological symptoms resulting from tissue damage in the central nervous system (CNS). CG-STAT is equipped with stable biosensor based screen printed electrode for DPV analysis and cyanogenic glycoside quantification in real samples.
