Fluorescent Microspheres as Surrogates for <i>Salmonella enterica</i> serotype Typhimurium in Recovery Studies from Stainless Steel
… <i>Salmonella enterica</i> serotype Typhimurium, fluorescent microspheres (1.0 μm diameter, carboxylate-modified, crimson FluoSpheres®, Molecular Probes, Eugene, OR), or a combination of both from stainless steel, three recovery methods, including a standard rinse, a one-ply composite tissue …

Use of fluorescent micropsheres to measure coronary flow reserve in rat animal model
… A standard method to measure CBF uses tracer microspheres (O = 15 um) injected into the left ventricle that flow through coronary arteries but cannot pass through capillaries and so become trapped in heart muscle. Previously, radioactive or colored microspheres have quantified the number of …

Development of Environmental Tracers for Sediments and Phosphorus.
… for this project (rare earth oxides (REOs) and fluorescent microspheres). Published methodologies relating to these tracers were investigated. The tracers were then applied to soil boxes receiving simulated rainfall, as well as a field plot, to compare their transport to the relevant phase of …

Methodology for quantitative assessment of perfusion in porcine model of peripheral arterial disease
… mapping the peripheral skeletal musculature with fluorescent microspheres. The defined workflow could provide a reliable way to calibrate other perfusion imaging modalities and foster an understanding of PAD mechanisms.

Nutritional Ecology of the Carpenter Ant Camponotus pennsylvanicus (De Geer): Macronutrient Preference and Particle Consumption
… individuals and small social groups were fed fluorescent microspheres in the laboratory to establish the fate of particles ingested by workers of both castes. Under natural conditions, foragers chiefly collected carbohydrate and nitrogenous material. Carbohydrate predominated in the crop and …

Fluorescence laser tracking microrheology for quantitative studies of cytoskeletal mechanotransduction
… properties from the passive monitoring of fluorescent microspheres undergoing Brownian motion inside the tested sample. Further instrument enhancement even broadens the FLTM frequency span up to seven decades by modulating data acquisition speed or complementing FLTM with a two-particle …

Three Dimensional Organisation of the Adult Mouse dorsal Lateral Geniculate Nucleus
… projection used discrete cortical injections of fluorescent microspheres (RetroBeads). This has allowed us to quantitatively define projection columns in 3D, and investigate how they vary with the location of the cortical injection. Furthermore, the orientation, spread, and cellular components of …

Development of a Fluorescence Microsphere Immunoassay for Detection of PRRSV Infection Using Oral Fluid Samples as an Alternative to Serum-based Assays
… as antigen and covalently coupled to Luminex fluorescent microspheres. Based on an evaluation of 488 oral fluid samples with known serostatus, the oral fluidbased FMIAs achieved greater than 92% sensitivity and 91% specificity. In serum samples (n = 1639), the FMIAs reached greater than 98% …

Validation of a Confocal Light Sheet Microscope using Push Broom Translation for Biomedical Applications
… synchronized to perform continuous imaging of fluorescent microspheres and cells in suspension. This study combines epitaxial light sheet confocal microscopy and electro-chemical microfluidics as a robust approach which could be used in future point-of-care image cytometry applications.</p>

Developmental Dynamics of the Mouse Retinocollicular Projection: A Quantitative Characterisation
… been done by utilising retrograde transport of fluorescent microspheres administered by discrete injections into the SC and recovered from retinal flat-mounts. To enable quantification of topographic precision, retinae are standardised using an algorithm that permits retinal outlines to be …

Cloth Filter for Disaster Relief Water Treatment
… #2 with added bacteria and cyst surrogates (fluorescent microspheres) was used to evaluate the filter prototype designs prior to testing according to U.S. EPA Guide Standard and Protocol for Testing Microbiological Water Purifiers in a commercial laboratory.</p> <p>The filter design and mock …

Development and Application of Non-Traditional Vertebrate Models to Investigate Terrestrial Ecological Risk to 2,46-Trinitrotoluene Exposure
… phagocytized material. This was conducted using fluorescent microspheres and a fluorescent chemical probe specific to hydrogen peroxide, measured per each cell using flow cytometry. Other data collected included histological examination (e.g., liver, kidney, and other miscellaneous organs), blood …
