Biosensors have transformed fields such as healthcare, biotechnology and environmental science by facilitating early disease diagnosis, real-time environmental monitoring and quality control processes. Recent advances have expanded the scope of these biosensors, offering improved sensitivity, specificity and adaptability across diverse applications. As demands for stability and miniaturisation grow for these devices, cutting-edge transduction methods and […]

From detecting biomarkers in body fluids to enabling real-time health tracking, nanomaterial-based biosensors have the potential to transform patient care for the better. However, despite their potential, there are major material challenges that stand in the way of their widespread adoption across medicine. The key materials used, such as gold and carbon-based nanomaterials like graphite […]

Researchers develop a new electrode material using sustainable carbon nanomaterial Gii, enabling smaller, more efficient energy storage for Internet of Things (IoT) devices. The material operates at 2V – nearly double the typical voltage of an electrode, reducing the size and material use. As the material is based on water, it offers a sustainable alternative […]

Scientists at the University of the West of Scotland and University of Glasgow find carbon nanomaterial Gii has high detectivity, low-cost and mass-producibility properties that could improve broadband photodetectors. Broadband photodetectors are used in fibre optic networks and medical imaging devices. Latest study finds Gii outperforms existing materials in terms of detection performance, while also […]

iGii partners with Prymexa on a multi-million-pound deal to develop a toolkit that monitors when a woman enters the perimenopause phase – the period between the start of menopause symptoms and an individual’s final period. Millions of women under 40 (60%) do not feel informed about menopause, yet this stage brings a range of symptoms, […]

Pioneering saliva-based point-of-care electrochemical biosensor developed for real-time cortisol tracking – avoiding the need for invasive blood tests. Underpinned by a Gii-Sens electrode, comparative studies reveal the biosensor has 100 times greater sensitivity compared to traditional saliva tests, ensuring reliable cortisol level measurements. Applications include identifying early onset of stress related metabolic and neurological disorders, […]

iGii, announces £8.8m in new funding to accelerate growth. The Stirling-based company, formerly known as Integrated Graphene, will use the funds to accelerate customer projects, increase its manufacturing capacity, and deepen its research and development to explore further applications of its patented Gii™ material. iGii plans to expand its facilities and continue creating highly skilled […]

Scientists at the University of Bath, UK, introduce breakthrough carbon-based sensor for detecting lactic acid levels in saliva – avoiding the need for an electrical power source. Underpinned by a Gii-Sens electrode platform, the Gii chemosensor could have potential for highly sensitive lactic acid testing in remote locations without needing a lab. Applications could include […]
