Test strips that in combination with a portable fluorescence reader or digital camera can rapidly and selectively detect chemical warfare agents (CWAs) such as Tabun (GA), Sarin (GB), and Soman (GD) and their simulants in ...

An aptamer-capped mesoporous material for the selective and sensitive detection of &-thrombin in human plasma and serum has been prepared and characterised.

This review focuses on examples reported in the years 2010¿2011 dealing with the design of chromogenic and fluorogenic chemosensors or reagents for anions.

[EN] A novel nanodevice consisting of mesoporous nanoparticles loaded with vancomycin and capped with epsilon-poly-L-lysine (epsilon-PL) was prepared and its interaction with different Gram-negative bacteria studied. A ...

Silica nanoparticles containing polyamines and thiol groups have been used as probes for the selective detection of Tetryl. © 2011 The Royal Society of Chemistry.

[EN] Rapid testing methods for the use directly at a point of need are expected to unfold their true potential especially when offering adequate capabilities for the simultaneous measurement of multiple analytes of interest. ...

A new chromo-fluorogenic sensing protocol for anionic surfactants in aqueous environments using silica functionalised nanoparticles containing imidazolium and thiol groups has been developed. © 2011 The Royal Society of Chemistry.

The coupling of gated-indicator delivery with highly specific biochemical recognition is an innovative strategy for the detection of DNA sequences, able to compete with classical methods which need PCR amplification, in ...

[DE] Mit DNA verschlossene und mit Farbstoff beladene mesoporöse Siliciumdioxid-Nanopartikel wurden zum Nachweis von Mycoplasma bis zu einer Nachweisgrenze von ca. 70 genomischen DNA-Kopien pro mu-L in real kontaminierten ...
