There is a rising need for low-cost and scalable platforms for sensitive medical diagnostic testing. Fabric weaving is a mature, scalable manufacturing technology and can be used as a platform to manufacture microfluidic diagnostic tests with controlled, tunable flow. Given its scalability, low manufacturing cost (<$0.25 per device), and potential for patterning multiplexed channel geometries, ...

The present study is vital to the understanding of bioremediation of structurally different azo dyes by some unusual Brown-rot fungi. Bioremoval of each dye (20 mg l(-1)) was tested in two different culture media under static and shaking conditions by taking inocula from different fungi. Fungal strains showed varying dyes removal abilities, though considerable high in case of Acid Red (AR) 151(...

The administration of methenamine mandelate (Mandelamine) to normal individuals and patients with carcinoid resulted in a marked reductionin apparent urinary hydroxyindoleaceticacid (HIAA) as determined by the quantitative nitroso-naphthol method. Mandelamine, methenamine, and formaldehyde inhibited the normal color development in vitro. The interfering reaction is dependent on an acid pH and i...
