Reports from Sao Paulo State University (UNESP) Provide New Insights into Prostate Cancer (Detection of Prostate Cancer Using an Electrochemical Sensor Integrated With Molecular Imprinting Technology and Ionic Liquid: a Novel Approach).

A recent report from Sao Paulo State University (UNESP) discusses a novel approach to detecting prostate cancer using an electrochemical sensor integrated with molecular imprinting technology and ionic liquid. The researchers enhanced the carbon paste electrode with ionic liquid and molecularly printed polymers to detect the sarcosine biomarker. The proposed method showed a concentration linear range of 2.0 x 10-7 to 1.04 x 10-4 mol L-1 and a low detection limit of 5.1 x 10-8 mol L-1. Tests with biological samples demonstrated the efficiency of the proposed sensor. This research provides new insights into the detection of prostate cancer. [Extracted from the article]
