Accurate, non-invasive monitoring of creatinine is essential for assessing kidney function, with elevated levels indicative of chronic kidney disease (CKD). Sweat creatinine serves as a promising biomarker for kidney health. Similarly, sweat glucose monitoring is critical for detecting metabolic imbalances, particularly in diabetic kidney disease (DKD). Simultaneous detection of these biomarkers is vital for early …

Arsenic in water is a serious environmental concern because it is highly toxic. To help detect this dangerous substance, a new and easy-to-use method has been developed under the Environmental Analysis Research Unit (EARU) for the colorimetric detection of arsenite (As(III)) in water using ferric ion (Fe(III))- assisted tartrate-stabilized gold nanoparticles. When arsenic is in …

We developed a new test strip made from nylon coated with a special liquid called a deep eutectic solvent (DES) – an eco-friendly alternative to toxic organic solvents. This strip helps detect hexavalent chromium [Cr(VI)], a cancer-causing pollutant often found in industrial wastewater. Why DES? Because it’s safer, greener, and does the job just as …

Professor Dr. Sumrit Wacharasindhu developed a green synthesis method using enzymatic catalysis. We didn’t reinvent the wheel — but we did make it greener . Enzymatic reactions in water  are promising, but solubility often holds them back especially for organic compounds like α-oxo ketene dithioacetals . So we switched from “on-water” to “in-water” using a biodegradable surfactant, TPGS-750-M . …
