A paper-based colourimetric assay for the detection of alanine transaminase has been developed. In the presence of alanine transaminase, 2,4-dinitrophenyl hydrazine changes to pyruvate hydrazone leading to a colour change from pale yellow to dark yel...
Salmonella spp. are a foodborne pathogen frequently found in raw meat, egg products, and milk. Salmonella is responsible for numerous outbreaks, becoming a frequent major public-health concern. Many studies have recently reported handheld and rapid d...
In the world wide, food poisoning accidents related to Vibrio spp. are on the rise, even numbers of food poisoning by other foodborne pathogens are decreasing. Therefore, the requirement of the rapid, sensitive and convenient detection method for V. ...
Colorimetric detection of acetylcholinesterase (AChE) and its inhibitor organophosphates (OPs) is attractive for its convenience, but the addition of exogenous catalyst to produce a chromogenic agent may result in complexity and interference. Herein,...
BACKGROUND: L-asparaginase (L-asp) remains one of the key components of acute lymphoblastic leukemia therapy. Immune reactions to the drug are associated with its diminished activity. The aim of the study was to determine the level of IgM, IgG and Ig...
Herein, molecular structure regulation and enzyme cascade signals amplification (MRECAmp) strategy was proposed to construct a novel upconversion ratiometric fluorescence and colorimetric dual-readout assay platform for highly sensitive and selective...
BACKGROUND: For decades, fasting for 8 to 12 hours has been recommended for measurement of lipid profiles. The effect of fasting on low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) and triglycerides (TG) has been described in healthy cohorts and those wit...
A simple, low-cost, and sensitive liposome-based colorimetric aptasensor has been developed to detect ochratoxin A (OTA). Specifically, a dumbbell-shaped probe was designed, including magnetic beads (MBs), double-stranded DNA (dsDNA), and enzyme-enca...
For analyte detection in raw fruits, the conventional sample pretreatment method usually involves mashing (blending or homogenization), extraction, and dilution. This process is time-consuming, solvent-intensive and laborious. Usually, there is also ...
A new micro-plate colorimetric assay was developed for rapid determination of zinc in animal feed, pet food and drinking water. Zinc ion was extracted from sample by trichloroacetic acid and then reacted with 2-(5-Bromo-2-pyridylazo)-5-[N-propyl-N-(3...
