https://www.selleckchem.com/products/Ki16425.html Proteases are often used as biomarkers of many pathologies as well as of microbial contamination and infection. Therefore, extensive efforts are devoted to the development of protease sensors. Some applications would benefit from wireless monitoring of proteolytic activity at minimal cost, e.g., sensors embedded in care products like wound dressings and diapers to track wound and urinary infections. Passive (batteryless) and chipless transponders stand out among wireless sensing technologies when low cost is a requirement. Here, we developed and extensively characterized a composite material that is biodegradable but still highly stable in aqueous media, whose proteolytic degradation could be used in these wireless transponders as a transduction mechanism of proteolytic activity. This composite material consisted of a cross-linked gelatin network with incorporated caprylic acid. The digestion of the composite when exposed to proteases results in a change of its resistivity, a quantity that can be wirelessly monitored by coupling the composite to an inductor-capacitor resonator, i.e., an antenna. We experimentally proved this wireless sensor concept by monitoring the presence of a variety of proteases in aqueous media. Moreover, we also showed that detection time follows a relationship with protease concentration, which enables quantification possibilities for practical applications.Real-time measuring of CO2 isotopes (13CO2, 12CO2, and 18OC16O) in exhaled breath using a mid-infrared hollow waveguide gas sensor incorporating a 2.73 μm distributed feedback laser was proposed and demonstrated for the first time based on calibration-free wavelength modulation spectroscopy. The measurement precisions for δ13C and δ18O were, respectively, 0.26 and 0.57‰ for an integration time of 131 s by Allan variance analysis. These measurement precisions achieved in the present work were at least 3.5 times better than those reported us
