These fertilizers contain trace metals besides providing macro and micronutrients. The present study was performed to observe the effect of mineral fertilizers, poultry manure and cow manure on trace metal content of soil and various parts (root, shoot, and grains) of maize plant (Zea mays L.). The analysis of metals was performed by atomic absorption spectrophotometer (AA-6300 Shimadzu Japan). The highest level of Pb, Fe, Ni and Cu was observed in the root as 0.36-0.55, 70.41-83.03, 4.98-7.44 and 2.94-4.43 mg kg- 1, respectively. The highest level of Cd, Zn and Mn was determined in grains as 0.44-1.59, 28.05-46.39 and 26.24-46.57 mg kg- 1, respectively. The values of all metals were found within their permissible limit given by FAO/WHO except for the Cd. The interactive use of mineral and organic fertilizers enhanced the level of trace metals in maize as compared to their sole application. In the present findings, the health risk index for all metals was less than 1 in all treatments. So, it was concluded that the level of metals in poultry manure, cow manure and mineral fertilizer treated maize did not pose any potential threat to the consumers.Though the advances in microelectronic device fabrication have realized new capabilities in integrated analytical and diagnostic platforms, there are still notable limitations in point-of-care sample preparation. AC electrokinetic devices, especially those leveraging dielectrophoresis (DEP), have shown potential to solve these limitations and allow for sample-to-answer in a single point-of-care device. However, when working directly with whole blood or other high conductance (~ 1 S/m) biological fluids, the aggressive electrochemical conditions created by the electrode can fundamentally limit the device operation. In this study, platinum wire-based electrode devices sp
