The research highlights the recent progress in electrochemical sensors for detecting vitamin D, emphasizing their simplicity and high sensitivity. Advances include innovative electrode materials and absorptive detection using carriers like nanoclays. These biosensors offer potential for cheap, disposable, and biodegradable solutions, enabling real-time monitoring of vitamin D levels. Integration into smartphone-based electrochemical sensors aligns with emerging trends in point-of-care testing, making it a promising approach for identifying and monitoring vitamin D deficiency.

This study was led by Assoc. Prof. Birgül Benli from the Department of Mineral Processing Engineering, with contributions from graduate student Mervenur Kirazoğlu from the Program of Nanoscience and Nanoengineering.
