Current diagnostic methods commonly used for detection of antibodies and antigens have significant limitations. Scientists at Micro Detect, Inc. have developed an innovative diagnostic device (method) that can be utilized broadly for antibody/antigen interactions including diagnostic assays in the medical, veterinary and food industries. The developed device can be utilized for the detection of antibodies against a single antigen or vice versa. It can also be tailored for specific panels that detect antigens or antibodies for diverse infectious agents, proteins, hormones, tumor markers, autoimmune markers, and allergens. Additionally, it can also be used for detection of toxins, antitoxins, nucleic acids, enzymes, drugs, etc. in both humans and animals. Specimens used in different formats of the device can be tears, saliva, whole blood, serum, plasma, urine, stool, and other bodily discharges. The good intra and inter precisions and acceptable linearity of the device support reliable use of the device. The CV of the device is 1.9% - 2.2%. Likewise, the performance of the device using 92 confirmed negative and positive specimens via a typical assay showed 100% sensitivity, 80% specificity, 96.8% efficacy, 80% positive predictive value, and 100% negative predictive value. The results of our feasibility study suggest reliable utility of a device for rapid, easy-to-use, inexpensive, and on-site (point of care) diagnostic assays. This presents a potential breakthrough in diagnostic methodologies that can be integrated into modern medicine and food industries.展开更多
本文通过对垃圾焚烧炉废气和周边环境空气采样,采用同位素稀释-高分辨气相色谱/高分辨质谱(HRGC-HRMS)法分析样品中二噁英浓度。废气样品中二噁英总浓度为0.919~1.152 ng TEQ/m^3,总毒性当量为0.071~0.100 ng TEQ/m^3,环境空气样品中二...本文通过对垃圾焚烧炉废气和周边环境空气采样,采用同位素稀释-高分辨气相色谱/高分辨质谱(HRGC-HRMS)法分析样品中二噁英浓度。废气样品中二噁英总浓度为0.919~1.152 ng TEQ/m^3,总毒性当量为0.071~0.100 ng TEQ/m^3,环境空气样品中二噁英总浓度为1.194~2.268 pg TEQ/m^3,总毒性当量为0.100~0.200 pg TEQ /m^3。比较废气与环境空气中各PCDD/Fs单体浓度的占比,得出该农村区域范围内环境空气中二噁英污染物主要来源于该垃圾焚烧炉。展开更多
