In a recent ZP webinar we discussed the electrochemical/electroanalytical detection of CBD and THC, both using direct electrochemical detection and using an immuno-assay.

Today is the second day of the Norway Health Tech conference and this time we are exhibiting in Oslo. This is defined as a separate conference and is called Norway Health Tech Festival.  

It has been a pleasure to meet professionals from the health sector and present them our contribution on how to achieve a CE marking. Part of our uniqueness is our ability to perform both contract development of new biosensor or a new assay, but then also to scale the technology into our manufacturing workflows.

ZP will be attending and speaking at Swansea University's Knowledge Transfer Event on the 30 June 2022, therefore we will be on the Bay Campus and we are happy to arrange meetings at the campus and in the local area.

If you would like to meet us whilst we are in Swansea please connect with us.

I dag har vi fått muligheten til å utstille i Drammen under Norway Health Tech Konferansen. Dette er bare første dagen av konferansen og imorgen vil du kunne finne oss i Oslo med enda flere internasjonale deltakere. 

Gjennom konferansen har forskjellige bedrifter og organisasjoner holdt presentasjoner. HelseHub og VestreViken var en av de. Forskjellige temaer har blitt tatt opp, som for eksempel den framtidige eldre bølgen, framdriften på pleie- og omsorgsområdet og digitale løsninger for lege-pasient konsultasjoner. Etter å ha møtt mange diverse helsepersonell med forskjellige bakgrunn, gleder vi oss til å lære enda mer i Oslo imorgen, og vi håper å se deg der!

The ZP Hypervalue  Carbon electrode is by far the most successful and high quality carbon screen printed electrode made available to the R and D community. 

On this page we describe how we can rebrand these electrodes for clients with their brand.

Please note that ZP can also produce these electrodes as GRAPHENE also, contact us regarding this.

Zimmer & Peacock will be exhibiting at CES in Las Vegas, Nevada from January 5th  to 8th in the Digital Health sector in the LVCC North Venue. The increased focus on wellness accompanying the rise of diabetes has accelerated the transformation of digital healthcare.

Come visit ZP at our booth 8672 where we will be showcasing our varied technology, ranging from our wearable sensor patch monitoring glucose and ketone, our hydration monitoring device, our microneedles functionalised to the biomarker of your choosing and our small electronics such as our own potentiostat and miniature PCB.

Zimmer and Peacock has a unique MEMS and BioMEMS capability, including the ability to fabricate nanopores.

In the adjacent image we show some designs from ZP's new Advanced Nanopore Starter Kit.

A number of hormones are of interest to health and other applications. The hormones most commonly discussed include: thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH), insulin, cortisol, testosterone, androstenone, etc.

ZP has a number of hormone sensors available on the webstore, those sensors not on the webstore can be developer by ZP as part of a proof-of-principle study.

ZP is Norway's largest ISO13485 contract developer and manufacturer of electrochemical biosensors and IVDs, with a technology stack from sensors to API (application programme interface).

This week we were the only biosensor company exhibiting at the Sensor Decade Expo and Conference.

ZP has a range of standard lap kit for sample testing when we develop our electrochemical assays.

At ZP we have a growth mentality and so mergers with strategically aligned companies are of interest to us:

Some principles in a merger with ZP includes:

1) An agreement that the merger is motivated to bring growth both in ZP and also in the company merging into ZP.

2) The merging company will be independently valued by an accounting company such as RSM Global.

3) ZP will also be independently valued by RSM.

4) The company merging into ZP will be offered shares equivalent to their relative  valuation to ZP.

5) It is assumed that the merging company in the first instance will retain it's management team, and that the first efforts will be on a merger of sales and marketing.

6) In the case of merging company  where a founder from the merging company wishes to take an exit or have an exit in a certain amount of time exit then a mixture of cash and shares can be considered, 

At ZP we understand the versatility of our analysis platform, including analysing complex samples such as cough sweets/drops.

In this study we needed to measure the active materials in the cough sweets/drops and show a difference between three flavours/versions of the product.

For ZP this was a reasonably straight forward effort as we were able to leverage the ZP Accelerator Technology.

SAMPLE PREPARATION

The work flow for the analysis was simple as the sweet/drop was dissolved in water and then a drop was analysed via the ZP Accelerator.

RESULTS

The great thing about the ZP electrochemical sensor platform is that we are able to analyse complex samples including cough sweets/drops using our ZP Accelerator, the raw signal was clear that we could see the difference in the sweets through the detection of the active materials.

ZP was delighted to be attending SCI's PhD Electrochemistry Conference in Loughborough this week, we attended the lectures, spoke with the students, and discussed our electrochemical sensor platforms.

With the following design a true low-cost and simple potentiostat is presented. Overall cost is around 10-14 $ to build the device. It is based on a small form factor Arduino clone: Seeeduino XIAO. The µContoller has a 10 bits D/A (real, not PWM!)  and 12 bits A/D converters. The project files contain the hardware design files:

• circuit diagram,

• bill of materials (list of components),

• gerber files.

You will also find the software components as well:

• Arduino sketch,

• Graphical User Interface (GUI).

Current version of the Arduino sketch describes the Cyclic Voltammetry (CV), Differential Pulse Voltammetry (DPV) and Chrono Amperomety (CA) measurements.

At ZP we are very interested in AquaTech including the production of seaweed and the utilization of seaweed as a source of raw materials. 

In this video we discuss the measurement of heavy metals during the production cycle.

In this part of the webinar we discuss FET devices versus impedance sensors, and we discuss that when you use  a FET device you leave some of the assay information behind, where as an impedance method gives you more opportunities to extract a signal from your assay.

ZP will be attending and exhibiting at Prinse'22 2022 in Oulu Finland, June 8 - 9 2022.

ZP is Scandinavia's biggest ISO13485 contract developer and manufacturer of biosensors, wearable biosensors and IVDs.

With physiological wearable biosensors now widespread consumer products and living in  a post-COVID-19 world there is a rapid shift away from traditional centralized clinical trials and towards decentralized clinical trials (DCTs) and hybrid clinical trials (HCTs).

In DCTs and HCTs technologies are used to monitor the patient in the form of wearable biosensors or point of care invitro-diagnostics. The key requirement is that these technologies are operable by the patient and connected to the Cloud so that the patient data can securely send data to the Cloud enabling the patient's clinical status to  be remotely monitored.

In traditional clinical trials patients may be expected to either be resident at or to regularly visit a centralised clinical centres, but in these next generation of studies the patient remains within their community, and so their is a shift towards patient centric studies;  is an evolution in the adoption of pre-existing technologies rather than a revolution in technology.

Today many of the point of care IVDS or wearable biosensors required for DCTS and HCTS  already exist, though the critical internet connectivity maybe lacking. As ZP we Cloud enabling wearable biosensors and IVDs so they can be used in decentralised clinical  trials.

The benefits of HCTs and DCTs includes: 

1. Adaptability to schedules
2. Increase patient's convenience
3. Possibility to access a broader patient population
4. Reduced costs with regard to fixed trial sites
5. Increased compliance with the FDA sentiment of ' safely is critical'

Some of the perceived concerns of HCTs and DCTs are overcome when working with ZP, this includes:

1. ZP identifying or enabling biosensor technologies with Cloud connectivity 
2. ZP gather of biosensors or IVD data in their proprietary Cloud - Djuli
3. A pre-existing workflow for remotely gathering biosensor and IVD data

On this page we show that it is possible to run ZP biosensors from a smart device, in this example an Android.

Many of the sensors in the ZP portfolio could be used on a smart device as illustrated on this page, though we focus on blood here discussions can be extended to other samples including: urine, saliva, tear drop, sweat etc.

ZP has an infield sensor platform for bringing sensors data from the field to the Cloud.

The stack of technologies that we have at ZP are the sensors, both gas and liquid phase, the electronics to read the sensors, and connectivity via protocols such as WiFi and LoraWAN to bring the data to our proprietary database Djuli, and then from Djuli the data can be called upon by others into their Cloud service via an Application Programme Interface (API).

An example endpoint  for the sensor data would be a Geographical Information System (GIS) Cloud System, where  the sensor data is stored, retrieved, managed, displayed and analysed in the GIS Cloud. These GIS systems are now being used in: AgriTech, AquaTech, Land Management, Municipal Management etc.

ZP is the World's leading ISO13485 contract developer and manufacturer of CGM and other wearable electrochemical biosensors. The business model at ZP is to perform contract works for clients.

In this video we explain the technology stack at ZP from formulations, wire-sensors, microneedles, sweat sensors,  analogue electronics, wireless communication and Cloud based analytics.

Zimmer and Peacock is an ISO13485 contract developer and manufacturer of electrochemical biosensors and IVDs, as part of our technology stack we also take care of the hardware necessary to drive a sensor or IVD. In the adjacent video we discuss the  roadmap we would expect just for the hardware.

Zimmer and Peacock has a very inclusive culture, and this extends to our academic colleagues around the globe.  ZP is often asked whether we can host visiting academics and so we have summarised our policy here:

1) We will consider hosting an academic at our facilities, we may require two references.

2) ZP is limited by immigration law:

• We can't pay for or subsidise travel.
• We can't pay for or subsidise accommodation.
• We can't pay for or subsidise living expenses.

3) ZP can't be directly  involved in the organizing of a visas, we can provide a letter of support, but we can't incur high administration time in organizing visas.

4) ZP will assign technical work that is mutually interesting to the visitor and ZP, and is inline with the skills of the academic.

Do know that ZP has a unique culture and we hope you will apply.

Zimmer and Peacock has the widest range of electrochemical biosensors in the world, and many of those biosensors can be applied into applications where robustness and connectivity to the Cloud is required.

In this video we discuss the ZP Infield Continuous Monitoring Biosensor Platform, which can integrate with the range of ZP biosensors in order to be ruggedized for more demanding applications, including: aquaculture, environmental, agriculture, food, soil health, water etc.

In this video we discuss a paper for the detection of Arsenic in Water and translating that paper onto a carbon screen printed electrode.

Come join Zimmer & Peacock in an interactive and informative ZP Biosensor workshop which will be held on the 22nd May from 2pm-5pm at Meliá Sitges Hotel Congress Centre in Sitges, Spain!

Thank you for speaking with ZP at ATTD 2022 in Barcelona, below I have included links to: ZP CGM technology, microneedles and ZP's biosensors.

ZP will be demonstrating the FoodSense and our ability to measure the hotness of chillies at the BBC's GoodFood Show and Gardner's' Word Live from the 16 - 19 June 2022.

Safety and quality are key issues for the food industry. Consequently, there is growing demand to preserve the food chain and products against substances toxic, and harmful to human health, such as contaminants, allergens, toxins, or pathogens. For this reason, it is mandatory to develop highly sensitive, reliable, rapid, and cost-effective sensing systems/devices, such as electrochemical sensors/biosensors. Generally, conventional techniques are limited by long analyses, expensive and complex procedures, and skilled personnel. Therefore, developing performant electrochemical biosensors can significantly support the screening of food chains and products. The webinar will focus on the state-of-the-art of electrochemical biosensors with potential use in food analysis and precision agriculture.

Clinical diagnostic medicine and healthcare monitoring are arguably the most important applications of biosensor technology. The Covid-19 pandemic has demonstrated both the need for advanced diagnostic sensors as well as the capability of research groups around the world to respond rapidly to this unprecedented need. The 10th Annual Sensors in Medicine 2022 conference will highlight the newest trends in sensor technology, their medical and healthcare applications, and the most recent commercial developments.

Zimmer and Peacock is an ISO13485 contract developer and manufacturer of electrochemical biosensors. One of the workflows within ZP is the thick film printing of electrodes and then their subsequent functionalization with materials to give them specificity to the analyte of interest. On this page we discuss some non-destructive analysis at ZP to determine coating quality.

Zimmer and Peacock has several techniques for functionalizing an electrode, including: self-assembled monolayer (SAM), electro-deposition, drop-coating, dip-coating etc.

ZP is unusual in that we are able to perform functional testing of the sensors using the analytes of interest but we are of course also able to perform passive/non-destructive testing.

On this page we discuss ZP vision technology for imaging the working electrode and quantifying the coverage of the working electrode.

In the adjacent image we compare four electrodes with: zero coatings, single coatings, two coatings, three coatings. The ZP technology can colour code the working electrodes to determine the coverage of the electrodes, see Figure 1.0.0.

The ZP non-destructive analysis similarly allows us to automatically detect features on the electrodes, see Figure 1.0.1.

The lecture discussed the importance of non-invasive/minimally invasive biosensing. Experiments on porcine skin were reported as an ex vivo model (closest to human skin). This was done in order to test the method of extraction.

An extraction cell was developed, see figure 1, including a hydrogel that contained a certain concentration of glucose. A magnetic field was applied to this extraction cell using neodymium magnets and a current was applied in a direction perpendicular to the magnetic field, in order to extract fluid, shown in figure 2. A comparison was  to compare how much glucose was extracted using this active technology versus passive diffusion in comparison to magneto hydrodynamic extraction. 

On this page we describe the cost to achieve regulatory approval and the technology stack required to bring an immuno-type biosensor to market, when using a gold electrode as the working electrode of the biosensor

Many groups that use a recognition element such as an: aptamer, antibody, ssDNA, receptors etc, use a gold working electrode, this is because the self assembled molecular layer (SAM) chemistry where a thiol group (SH) is tethered to a gold electrode (Au) is a robust tactic for functionalizing electrodes into electrodes with specificity to the analyte of interest.

Zimmer and Peacock is an ISO13485 contract developer and manufacturer of electrochemical biosensors and are well versed in functionalizing our Au-303 electrodes into biosensors, using SAM chemistry. An example of this type of work is shown in Figure 1.0.0, where the Au-303 electrode has been functionalised with a macromolecule. The binding of the subsequent protein analyte is subsequently detected using impedance spectroscopy.

Figure 1.0.0

For those who have a plan to go to market with gold electrodes functionalized in an immunosensor configuration then ZP has a roadmap. The strategy at ZP is not to treat the gold electrode in isolation of the total system. At ZP we see that the gold electrode is just a single part of the technology as we see the total system is a combination of: electrode, functionalization chemistry, microfluidics, electronics, mechanical, electrochemistry, data science,  regulatory affairs, quality management system (QMS), clinical support, etc.

One of the first steps at ZP is to plan out the total plan to get to regulatory approval and market, we call this process Client Onboarding.

One of the first steps with ZP is to get out of the lab and start testing real samples on our ZP Accelerator platform. Many developers, entrepreneurs and start-ups think that they need perfect products in order to start to gather pre-clinical data, at ZP our philosophy is that it is best to get the sensors into the real-world and start testing real samples- we call this the ZP Accelerator.

For an IVD the most common route to market is a 510k or a PMA, these are discussed in our regulatory article.

The Severinghaus Electrode is used to measure the carbon dioxide (CO2, pCO2), and has been employed to measure pCO2 in blood gas analysers.

The carbon dioxide dissolved through the polymer membrane. Upon diffusing through the membrane the carbon dioxide forms carbonic acid through an equilibrium with water, the subsequent dissociation of carbonic acid forms a pH change, which could be measured with ZP's hypervalue pH electrode. 

The change in pH is proportional to the carbon dioxide in the sample.

Thank you for reaching out to ZP we will be back in contact soon.

Zimmer and  Peacock

ZP has a stack of technology from gas sensors to gas sensing electronics. In the adjacent image we show our ZP GFET board being used on conjunction with a PCB board mounted gas sensing element.

 ZP Swansea is expanding capabilities in the gas phase. Our test and development capabilities includes: nitric oxide, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, sulphur dioxide, ammonia, hydrogen.

What makes ZP so special is the power of the ZP Spirit.

When teaching electrochemistry and electroanalytical chemistry one of the first methods taught in undergraduate courses and labs is cyclic voltammetry.

A classic undergraduate experiment is the recording of a cyclic voltammogram of ferrocyanide. In this note we describe an experiment and results for measuring a cyclic voltammogram on a screen printed carbon electrode (SPCE). 

When teaching undergraduate labs the use of SPCE is preferred because:

1) SPCE are a fraction of the cost of glass carbon electrodes etc. - click here.

2) The cost of 1 glassy carbon electrode it is possible to purchase 200 or more SPCE.

3) Electrochemistry is a very practical science with a clear route to commercialisation, therefore the teaching of electroanalytical chemistry using SPCE accelerates students on their route to productization later in their careers.

In Figure 1 a series of voltammograms are shown, these voltammograms are recorded on an activated hyper value screen printed carbon electrode electrode from ZP. The electrode were activated for 300 seconds before initiating the series of voltammetric experiments. The activation of the carbon surface is achieved using the conditions described above.

For a simple reversible redox process the peak height of the anodic and cathodic peaks are expected to be proportional to the square root of the scan rate. If we consider Figure 2 we can see that the anodic peak height and the cathodic peak heights are proportional to the square root of the scan rate. The relationship between redox peak heights  is line with Randles- Sevcik equation, and this indicates that the peak heights are under diffusion control. Further the peak height of the anodic and cathodic are the same as can be seen the peak height ratio analysis in Table 1.

In a truly reversible electrochemical redox reaction then the anodic peak to cathodic peak separation is approximately 59.2 mV/no. of electrons. If we consider Table 1 we see that the peak separation is approximately 75 mV, which suggests that the process is not reversible but rather is quasi-reversible. The data suggests that a reversible process maybe obtained by reducing the scan rate to approximately 1 mV/s.

Zimmer and Peacock are gold sponsors at the SCI Electrochemistry Postgraduate Conference 2022.

ZP is the UK's largest commercial electrochemistry team and we will be exhibiting our electrochemical products at the conference.

Electrochemical Spectroscopy is the  replacement of Optical Spectroscopy techniques with their electrochemical equivalent.

Where as in traditional optical spectroscopy photons are generated at different wavelengths which interact with the material under study and the  resulting absorption spectrum is recorded, in Electrochemical Spectroscopy the voltage (potential) is varied and the flowing electrons are recorded as a function of voltage.

Though traditional electrochemists call these techniques voltammetry with prefixes including, differential pulse, square wave and cyclic, these terms obscure the true power of electroanalytical chemistry and so at ZP we refer to these voltametric  techniques as Electrochemical Spectroscopy, as it emphasise the applicability of the techniques outside of just electrochemistry. 

The power of modern Electrochemical Spectroscopy is unlocked by ZP's AI Cloud based platform Dulli, where we can compare tags to the corresponding electrochemical spectrums. Djuli allows Electrochemical Spectroscopy  techniques to be applied into complex real world samples.

The sensors from ZP upon which Electrochemical Spectroscopy is built are intrinsically a low cost disposable platform.

ZP was delighted to be invited to speak at LOPEC 2022 on printed biosensors.

A live webinar from ZP in conjunction with Sunway University on electrochemical techniques and their application to electrochemical biosensors.

TITLE - Electrochemical Techniques and Application to Electrochemical Biosensing 

Co-hosted: Sunway University and Zimmer and Peacock

TIME  and DATE - 3 PM Malaysia 11 April 2022

ZP is offering internships opportunities to The University of Warwick students.

Most gold PCBs though a good idea as a biosensor can't truly withstand the voltages and aqueous conditions that an electrochemical biosensor has to operate in.

The technology from Macias sensor provides a robust gold electrode that is far more robust and can withstand 0.5 M sulfuric acid.
