Prof. Moscone is involved in the scientific supervision of Work Package 9 activities (Heavy Metals) i.e. the development and validation of new technology that would enable robust, rapid, accurate and cost-effective screening of raw materials for contamination by heavy metals, in particular by Lead (Pb). The screening methods developed in the context of the BioCop project, while based on established electrochemical techniques, will make use of novel disposable sensors easy to produce through thick film technology and which can be used with portable and cost-effective and user-friendly instrumentation.
Prof. Moscone is also responsible for several other projects, currently involved in the development of immunosensors and interference-free biosensors based on screen printed electrodes in environmental, clinical and food analysis field and of microsensors for the assessment of conservation strategies in archaeological sites.Areas of interest.
* Preparation and evaluation of biosensors and immunosensors and their analytical application to real matrices.
* Enzyme and protein immobilisation on different supports, in sensors and biosensor miniaturisation and their coupling to flow systems by innovative techniques as Microdialysis and Ultrafiltration.
