Airborne Microorganisms as Analytical Tools in Aerosol Studies

Airborne microorganisms from waste containers.

In physician's offices and biomedical labs, biological waste is handled every day. This waste is disposed of in waste containers designed for holding red autoclave bags. The containers used in these environments are closed hands-free containers, often with a step pedal. While these containers protect the user from surface-borne microorganisms, the containers may allow airborne microorganisms to...

The Collecting of Airborne Microorganisms

Analytical Serology of Microorganisms

chemical foundation of these disciplines. The author avoids the principal pedagogic sin of talking, in an equal tone of voice, of subjects of widely varying importance. This is clearly one man's account, but it is balanced, reasonable, and so lucid that one can read it with pleasure. It is a pity that the production of the book is not of as high a standard as its contents. In the review copy a ...

Analytical Serology of Microorganisms

ent ways to produce Coombs serum are described with little or no attempt to define how important they are in the overall scheme of human blood and serum groups. But perhaps because this is a reference book it is more important to detail everything than to discuss those areas that the authors deem important. Some subjects, the Lewis, the I, i, and the leukocyte groups, for example, are discussed...

Nanomaterials as Analytical Tools for Genosensors

Nanomaterials are being increasingly used for the development of electrochemical DNA biosensors, due to the unique electrocatalytic properties found in nanoscale materials. They offer excellent prospects for interfacing biological recognition events with electronic signal transduction and for designing a new generation of bioelectronic devices exhibiting novel functions. In particular, nanomate...
