background herpes simplex virus infections are very common worldwide. the virus can cause infection in various body parts, especially eyes and the nervous system. therefore, an early diagnosis and highly sensitive method is very helpful. objectives the present study sought to investigate the efficiency of real-time taqman probe pcr in the diagnosis of hsv infection in suspected patients. patien...

Prediction using pure standards is expected to be biased whenever the slope of the calibration is affected by the presence of sample matrix. Moreover, in the presence of unknown spectral interferents, first-order algorithms like partial least squares cannot be used. In this study, a method for determination of carvedilol (CAR) in tablet and urine samples is proposed by excitation-emission fluor...

During 2010-2011, Real-time PCR procedure was used to detecting FMDV RNA on 147 epithelium samples from the field. In this survey, for Real-time PCR from 3D gene segment as conserve region selected for tracking all of seven serotypes FMDV. The assay detected the viral RNA in all serotypes of FMDV. The rRT-PCR specifically detected FMD virus in sample with greater sensitivity than our convention...

objective: Phenytoin is an anti-seizure medication used to treat epilepsy, as well as to control arrhythmias (irregular heartbeat) and to treat migraine headaches and nerve pain. It is recommended to determine the amount of this drug in the blood to control the seizure and prevent its toxicity. In the present study, a sensitive and simple procedure based on the dispersive solid phase extraction...

Dibutyl-Disulfide Montmorillonite (DD-MMT) was synthesized successfully and found to bean excellent adsorbent for Hg(II) removal. The fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR),x-ray diffraction spectrum (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) were used tocharacterize properties of the absorbent. The effects of several parameters such as solutionpH, adsorbent dose, contact time and the...

BACKGROUND We aimed to quicken and simplify the detection of Plasmodium in blood samples by developing and testing a pan-Plasmodium real-time PCR for accurate screening of individuals suspected of malaria. METHODS A single primer/probe set for pan-species Plasmodium-specific real time PCR targeting a conserved region of the small subunit 18S ribosomal DNA was designed and evaluated for rapid ...

Molecular assays can provide critical information for malaria diagnosis, speciation, and drug resistance, but their cost and resource requirements limit their application to clinical malaria studies. This study describes the application of a resource-conserving testing algorithm employing sample pooling for real-time PCR assays for malaria in a cohort of 182 pregnant women in Kinshasa. A total ...

The purpose of this study was to separate and determine Nystatin in water, urine and plasma samples using a method based on sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) coated magnetic nanoparticles (nano-magnets Fe3O4) along with spectrophotometry which has been developed for to this end. Due to their excellent adsorption capacity and high chemical stability, nanoparticles can be modified by surfactants. The ...
