The fabricated MIP@ERGO/GC electrode demonstrated a wide concentration range of DP detection (from 0.5 to 17.2 μM), and the limit of detection was found to be 3.8 nM, with a signal-to-noise ratio of 3. Moreover, the MIP@ERGO/GC electrode had excellent DP selectivity (with an imprinting factor of 4.20), even in the presence of ascorbic acid, uric acid, dopamine, xanthine, gelatin, glucose, sucrose, l-cysteine, folic acid, K+, Na+, Ca2+, CO32-, SO42-, and NO3- interferences. The MIP@ERGO/GC electrode was tested on a human urine sample, and DP recovery ranges between 98.4% and 100.87% were obtained.Second-order based calibration methods have been widely investigated capitalizing on the inherent benefits of the data structure and the decomposition models, demonstrating that second-order advantage is a property that conspires to a high likelihood success in the resolution of systems of varying complexity. This work aims to demonstrate the applicability of a combined chemometric strategy to solve non-linear multivariate calibration systems in the presence of non-multilinear multi-way data. The determination of histamine by differential pulse voltammetry at different pH is presented as case study. The experimental system has the outstanding difficulty arisen from the large displacement along the potential axis by the pH, which was successfully overcome by implementation of the presented combined strategy. For data modeling, MCR-ALS, U-PLS/RBL and U-PCA/RBL-RBF were used. MCR-ALS allowed unraveling the non-linear behavior between the signal and the concentration, and extracting the underlying profiles of the constituent. Quantitative analysis was performed through the three models, and a comparative evaluation of the predictive performance was done. The best results were achieved with U-PCA/RBL-RBF (mean recovery = 101%) whereas, MCR-ALS yield the lowest mean recovery for all samples (70%).We report in this communication a ready-to-use fused deposition modeling (FDM) based 3D-printed spectroelectrochemical cell to perform for the first time voltammetry of immobilized microparticles (VIMP) and Raman spectroscopy in situ using acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS) as the filament material for printing. The 3D-printed cell was applied to evaluate solid state electrochemical behavior of tadalafil as a proof-of-concept. Several advantages were achieved in the use of the developed device, such as less manipulation of the working electrode, monitoring the same region of the solid microparticles before and after electrochemical measurements, better control of the laser incidence, low-cost and low-time production. Furthermore, the device was printed in a single-step, without handling to assembly and it has an estimated material cost of approximately 2 $. The use of 3D-printing technology was significantly important to integrate Raman spectroscopic method with VIMP measurements and to support mechanism elucidation and characterization of the compounds with less manipulation of the working electrode, avoiding loss of solid products formed from electrochemical reactions.Highly proliferative cells depend heavily on glycolysis as a source of energy and biological precursor molecules, and glucose uptake is a useful readout of this aspect of metabolic activity. Glucose uptake is commonly quantified by using flow cytometry for cell cultures and positron emission tomography for organs in vivo. However, methods to detect spatiotemporally resolved glucose uptake in intact tissues are far more limited, particularly those that can quantify changes in uptake over time in specific tissue regions and cell types. Using lymph node metabolism as a case study, we developed an optimized method to detect dynamic and spatially resolved glucose uptake in living tissue by combining ex vivo tissue slice culture with a fluorescent glucose analogue. Live slices of murine lymph node were treated with the glucose analogue 2-[N-(7-nitrobenz-2-oxa-1,3-dia-xol-4-yl)amino]-2
