This paper presents a simple, sensitive and reliable strategy for the colorimetric determination of coralyne (COR) using citrate-capped silver nanoparticles (Cit-AgNPs). In the presence of NaC1, COR induces the aggregation of Cit-AgNPs, resulting in a change of color from shinny yellow to pink. Significant variables affecting the proposed method (salt concentration, interaction time, interaction temperature and pH) were evaluated and optimized to achieve the maximum sensing performance. Optimal conditions were obtained with 500 mu M NaCl, at ambient temperature, pH = 7.0 and within 5 min of COR addition onto Cit-AgNPs. The ratio of UV-vis absorbance at 612 nm to 400 nm (A(612)/A(400)) linearly responded to the concentration of COR from 26 to 404 nM with a detection limit of 8.54 nM under the optimized conditions. The proposed method was found to be highly selective toward COR compared to several other small molecules which are typical intercalating ligands, anticancer agents or heterocyclic compounds with similar molecular structure to COR. It also exhibited satisfactory selectivity in the presence of a wide range of organic and inorganic interfering substances. Finally, the applicability of the method for the detection of COR in real samples (human urine and tap water) was confirmed.

A second harmonic based resonance characterization method for MEMS electrostatic resonators
Aydin, EREN; GOKCE, Furkan; Kangul, MUSTAFA; ZORLU, Ozge; Külah, Haluk (Elsevier BV, 2018-05-01)
This paper presents a novel read-out approach both for eliminating parasitic feedthrough current and for enhancing the quality-factor (Q) of the resonating system at the same time. A new resonance characterization method based on sensing second harmonic component of the resonators was developed. Utilizing this method, the feedthrough current was eliminated and the signal-to-background ratio was increased from 0.9 dB to 35.5 dB. Furthermore, the Q of the resonating system was improved by 65% experimentally. ...
A low-cost rate-grade nickel microgyroscope
Alper, Said Emre; Silay, Kanber Mithat; Akın, Tayfun (Elsevier BV, 2006-11-08)
This paper presents a low-cost microgyroscope with a resolution in the rate-grade at atmospheric pressure, which is fabricated using a CMOScompatible nickel electrofonning process. Angular rate resolution of the gyroscope is increased by matching the resonance frequencies of the drive and sense modes close to each other using symmetric suspensions and electrostatic frequency tuning; whereas, undesired mechanical coupling between the two modes during matched mode operation is reduced by the fully decoupled g...
A sol-gel derived AgCl photochromic coating on glass for SERS chemical sensor application
Volkan, Mürvet; Vo-Dinh, T (Elsevier BV, 2005-05-13)
A new optically translucent material has been prepared that acts as a substrate for surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy. This material is a silica matrix, synthesized by the sol-gel method and containing in situ precipitated AgCl particles which serve as precursors for nanoparticles of elemental silver. Reduction of AgCl to silver nanoparticles is achieved by UV irradiation. The SERS-active medium was distributed on glass supports (cover glass slips, 0.5 turn thick), hence producing thin, sturdy, and optica...
Analysis and characterization of an electrostatically actuated in-plane parylene microvalve
Yıldırım, Ender; Külah, Haluk (IOP Publishing, 2011-10-01)
This paper presents analysis and implementation of a simple electrostatic microvalve designed for use in parylene-based lab-on-a-chip devices. The microvalve utilizes an in-plane collapsing diaphragm. To investigate the pull-in behavior of the diaphragm and flow characteristics, a thorough analysis is carried out using the finite element method. Microvalves with different diaphragm radii are fabricated using surface micromachining techniques. Pull-in tests are carried out under the no-flow condition with ai...
An electromagnetic micro energy harvester based on an array of parylene cantilevers
Sari, Ibrahim; Balkan, Raif Tuna; Külah, Haluk (IOP Publishing, 2009-10-01)
This paper presents the design, optimization and implementation of an electromagnetic type vibration-to-electrical micro energy harvester. The proposed harvester implements a new design employing array of parylene cantilevers on which planar gold coils are fabricated. The micro harvester generates voltage by virtue of the relative motion between the coils and a stationary magnet. The coils are connected electrically in series to sum up the voltage output from individual cantilevers. The number of cantilever...
