The collaboration between the groups of Prof. Pau Ballester (ICIQ) and Prof. Francisco J. Andrade (URV) has allowed the development of the first effective sensor for the selective potentiometric detection of creatinine in body fluids. Creatinine is a byproduct of muscle metabolism that is generated continuously in the human body. It is released into the […]
