Highlights Development of a promising antibody-based Gii-Sens biosensor for the sensitive and selective detection of Tau-441 protein, an Alzheimer’s Disease biomarker.  Detection levels down to the femtomolar (0.14 fM) and linear range of 1 fM to 10 nM.  The simple, ultrasensitive electrochemical immunosensor presented in the publications show great potential in paving the way for […]

Highlights TENG powered by Gii added potential for energy harvesting from footsteps (around 60 μW per footstep). This opens the potential for a sustainable, low-maintenance management system. Both mats exhibit mechanical robustness throughout the fatigue tests, with values recorded remaining within ±2 % of initial values to the end. Abstract Real-time occupancy data enable smart-building […]

Welcome to the second of the Research Roundup series. In this series, we provide brief updates on the latest academic research across the world making use of our 3D carbon nanomaterial, Gii. Here, we explore the potential of Gii for sensing with aptamers and exploring varying techniques for glucose testing. 1. Gii-based aptasensors to enhance […]

iGii commissioned Anthesis to conduct a comparative screening life cycle analysis (LCA) on our Gii-Sens Biosensors range to help us understand the carbon footprint of our manufacturing process in a 4-month project. Gii Sens Biosensors range, powered by Gii – iGii’s pure 3D carbon nanomaterial with a large active surface area and innate antifouling properties […]

Highlights The work demonstrated a promising alternative for non-enzymatic and real-time monitoring with an electrochemical glucose detection method with Gii functionalised with gold nanoparticles that offers improved sensitivity and lower limits of detection. Sensitive and reliable detection range from 5mM to 25mM.  With further optimisation and development of the system, the advancements made with Gii […]

Q. What is your academic and professional background? My academic background began with studying fine chemicals and pharmaceuticals in Ireland.

Q. What is your academic and professional background? I started in engineering and manufacturing as soon as I left school, spending a year in industry before studying Engineering Science at the University of Oxford. After graduation, I joined Caterpillar, specifically Perkins Engines, in Stafford. I spent nearly four years as the engineering owner for the […]

Highlights Observation of strongly enhanced capacitance (quantum capacitance) when adsorbing 1-pyrene-methylamine to graphene foam. Proton activity specific sensor response in both aqueous buffer media and in human serum. Electrochemical impedance-based capacitance sensing with future opportunity to employ wireless capacitance readout. Abstract The interfacial capacitance of graphene foam electrodes (Gii-Sens) in contact to aqueous media (determined […]
