Ecological risk models for visceral leishmaniais [sic] in Bahia, Brazil and diagnosis of Trypanosoma cruzi infection in dogs in south central Louisiana
… from this group were also tested using two rapid experimental immunochromatographic assays designed as alternative or complementary diagnostic tests for T. cruzi infection. Of the fifty samples tested thirteen animals tested positive using rapid assay A and eleven animals tested positive …

Appraisal and validation of rapid, integrated chemical and biological assays of environmental quality
… the development, evaluation and application of rapid and simple immunochemical techniques and, finally, the integration of chemical and biological markers to assess pollution. GC-ECD/FID/MS have been used to investigate the status of chemical contamination of the Black Sea by organochlorine …

Maize dwarf mosaic virus: purification, some physical properties, and yield of virus from several corn hybrids
… its physical properties were re-evaluated and a rapid assay procedure was developed. The virus was purified by chloroform clarification and differential and sucrose density-gradient centrifugation. Corn tissue was homogenized in 0.1 M sodium citrate plus 0.5% mercaptoethanol. The virus was …

Equine Septic Arthritis and Serum Amyloid A
… signs and synovial fluid cytology alone. A rapid assay to help confirm septic arthritis would be advantageous. A new assay to quantify the major equine acute phase protein, serum amyloid A (SAA) may fulfill this need. Serum amyloid A increases in the body in response to injury, infection, …

Some Investigation into the Susceptibility and Resistance to Industrial Biocides of Fungi Important in Textile and Polyurethane Biodeterioration
… in reducing and preventing such fungal attack. Rapid assay techniques were also sought in order to correlate biological activity and/or hydrolysis with the physical or chemical properties of the polyurethane.

Flow-injection analysis of the platinum-group metals
… platinum-group metals (PGMs) use an "off-line" assay with flame-atomic absorption spectrometry and visible spectrometry. Both suffer numerous interferences and involve time-consuming and arduous laboratory separation methods prior to analysis. An "on-line" method for the rapid assay of the PGMs …

Increased sensitivity for lateral flow immunoassays through signal amplification methods
The simple and inexpensive sandwich-immunoassay-based lateral flow tests (LFTs, also known as lateral flow immunoassays, LFIAs, and rapid diagnostic tests, RDTs) are one of the general approaches for detection of disease targets (e.g. nucleoprotein of the influenza virus). However, the use of these …

Assay for Rifampicin Resistant M13 RF Synthesis
<p>We have developed a rapid assay which can detect the function of the origin of 0X174 complementary strand DNA in Ml3 by virtue of its ability to initiate the synthesis of M13 complementary strands in the presence of the antibiotic rifampicin. A segment of DNA carrying the sequence recognized by …

Measuring steroids from dried blood spots using tandem mass spectrometry to diagnose congenital adrenal hyperplasia
… clinical laboratories predominantly use immunoassays to measure some of the above steroids, these assays are hampered by low specificity due to cross reactivity of antibodies to molecules with similar structures and high cost of antibodies used in the system. As CAH is diagnosed in neonates, …

Cell Patterning: Building Living Neural Networks
… NG108, and B103 cell lines, were developed as a rapid assay to test patterned substrates. Primary hippocampal neurons were also grown on alternating stripes of polylysine versus stripes of extracellular matrix protein (laminin or pleiotrophin with or without polylysine). These substrates were …

Lipopolysaccharide in marine bathing water; a potential real-time biomarker of bacterial contamination and relevance to human health
… using the traditional culture based methods. A rapid method is thus needed as an early warning to bathers for bacterial contamination in marine bathing waters. Total lipopolysaccharide (LPS) was chosen here as a potential general biomarker for bacterial contamination. Levels of total LPS, …
