XJTLU Researchers have made a new and improved detector that can accurately measure levels of cortisol – a stress biomarker in the blood

Caption

A) The research team use iridium oxide to coat the reference electrode and make the cortisol detector more stable and sensitive. B) Illustration of the cortisol antibodies used on an Au electrode to create the electrochemical cortisol immunosensor. C) Cortisol detection: Larger arcs show greater concentrations of cortisol.
