Abstract: A concentration of acetone in blood and urine can be used as a potential biomarker for clinical diagnosis such as diabetes mellitus type 1. In this paper, a fiber-optic biosensor exploiting ...

Abstract: Detection of live microalgae is critical to ballast water treatment. A novel handheld high-throughput ballast water rapid detection device based on microfluidic chip and fluorometry for ...

Back in the bad old days, dealing with DNA and RNA in a lab setting was often fraught with peril. Detection technologies were limited to radioisotopes and hideous chemicals like ethidium bromide, a ...

Using another technique called pulse amplitude modulation fluorometry, they confirmed that the chloroplasts were still performing photosynthesis. “As far as we know, this is the first reported ...

Making sense of the complex metabolic activity of microbial communities is no mean feat. Understanding the stoichiometry and reaction kinetics of this activity typically requires precise ...

Gating of the ATP-activated channel P2X2 has been shown to be dependent not only on [ATP] but also on membrane voltage, despite the absence of a canonical voltage-sensor domain. We aimed to ...

Chlorophyll a fluorescence is a powerful indicator of photosynthetic energy conversion in plants and photosynthetic microorganisms. One of the most widely used measurement techniques is Pulse ...

In order to determine the dynamics of marine fluorescent organic matter (FOM) using high-resolution spatial data, in situ fluorometers have been used in the open ocean. In this study, we measured FOM ...
