A simple assay for the detection of fluoride in water by fluorescence spectroscopy was developed. The assay is based on commercially available reagents and allows sensing of fluoride in the low millimolar concentration range with high selectivity over othe ...
Microfluidic systems are an attractive solution for the miniaturization of biological and chemical assays. The typical sample volume can be reduced up to 1 million-fold, and a superb level of spatiotemporal control is possible, facilitating highly parallel ...
Here, we describe the selection and optimization of a chemical series active in both a full-length and a fragment-based Huntington's disease (HD) assay. Twenty-four thousand small molecules were screened in a phenotypic HD assay, identifying a series of co ...
Aim and applications: 1. Optimize fluorescence-based cellular assays for getting insights about mechanisms leading to cell death 2. Informative high content assays development with the aim to implement them in order to obtain preliminary toxicity informati ...
Targeting dormant Mycobacterium tuberculosis represents a challenge to antituberculosis drug discovery programs. We previously reported and validated the use of the streptomycin (STR)-dependent M. tuberculosis 18b strain as a tool for assessing drug potenc ...
Download Citation Email Print Request Permissions Save to Project Electronic biochips are defined by the merge of integrated electronics, containing diverse sensors, with reaction solution and sample hold in reaction chamber(s). Based on their overall stru ...
The mitochondria toxicity assay (MTT assay) is an established method for monitoring cell viability based on mitochondrial activity. Here the MTT assay is proposed for the in situ quantification of the living cell density of microencapsulated Jurkat cells. ...
Extremely sensitive protein detection is crucial for early diagnosis and monitoring of diseases. Present day’s limit of detection for an antibody-antigen recognition-based immunoassay in serum without having to use special target antigen amplification tech ...
A Pd-based indicator displacement assay for the fluorimetric sensing of carbohydrates has been developed. The assay allows the detection of saccharides in the low millimolar concentration range in water at neutral pH. ...
A major obstacle in the process of discovery of drugs against Mycobacterium tuberculosis is its extremely slow growth rate and long generation time (similar to 20 to 24 h). Consequently, determination of MICs and minimum bactericidal concentrations (MBCs) ...
