Capacitation is not a well‐defined process, required for the acrosome reaction triggered by physiological stimuli. In vitro, capacitation is achieved by sperm incubation in artificial media supplemented with HCO3ˉ, Ca2+, ...

Biopotential measurements are very sensitive to electromagnetic interference (EMI) from power-lines. Interference conditions are mainly imposed by electric-field coupling, whose effects can be described by coupling ...

The transducer faradaic signals of molecularly receptive interfaces associated with specific target binding can be sensitively monitored by electrochemical impedance and/or capacitance spectroscopies. A comparative evaluation ...

Label-free approaches for molecular diagnostic applications are appealing because of their inherent point-of-care advantages. Nonetheless, technical challenges impose a limit on the use of these methods as will be discussed ...

Numerous studies have demonstrated that sperm capacitation is a bicarbonate-dependent process. In the rat, capacitation has not been studied as much as in other species, mainly because of the difficulties in carrying out ...
