Introduction Many molecular biology applications require the determination of ss-, dsDNA, or RNA concentration in various samples. Most commonly, UV spectroscopy or Fluorescence spectroscopy is the preferred method of choice. Most simple and most convenient is UV spectroscopy, because nucleic acids have a characteristic UV absorbance spectrum, which can be used or quantitation without further s...

Bead-based, multiplexing assays such as those provided by the Luminex xMAP technology, have proven to be highly useful for biomarker identification and quantification from cells, tissues and body fluids. Applications include biological research, drug discovery and clinical diagnostics. The original technology based on the use of polystyrene microspheres tends to have arduous, manual work flows ...

In this study, complementary split-ring resonator (CSRR) metamaterial structures are proposed for label-free dielectric spectroscopy of liquids in microplates. This novel combination an array sensors and microplates is readily scalable thus offers a great potential non-invasive, rapid, large microplate arrays. The on printed circuit board consists microstrip line coupled to four CSRRs cascade w...

This paper presents a comprehensive study on bending, vibration and buckling behaviours of the multi-directional FG microplates. The material properties vary continuously both in-plane through-thickness directions. Based quasi-3D shear normal deformation plate theory modified strain gradient theory, finite element model is proposed employed to solve problems microplates with various boundary co...

the primary aim of this study is to determine maximum bite force in molar and incisor regions of healthy individuals, to evaluate the bite force after open reduction and internal fixation of mandibular fractures using micro plates, for a period of up to 6 weeks and to determine the rate of recovery of maximum bite force in an indian population.

The aim of the paper is to analyze electro-thermo nonlinear vibration of a double-piezoelectric composite microplate-system (DPCMPS) based on nonlocal piezoelasticity theory. The two microplates are assumed to be connected by an enclosing elastic medium which is simulated by Pasternak foundation. Both of smart composite microplates are made of poly-vinylidene fluoride (PVDF) reinforced by zigza...

Clinical medicine and public health would benefit from simplified acquisition of biological samples from patients that can be easily obtained at point of care, in the field, and by patients themselves. Microneedle patches are designed to serve this need by collecting dermal interstitial fluid containing biomarkers without the dangers, pain, or expertise needed to collect blood. This study prese...

Four methods for the assay of human interferon in Vero cells were compared based on the inhibition of viral cytopathic effect (CPE) in tubes, the inhibition of CPE in microplates, the reduction of plaques, and the inhibition of quantitative hemadsorption. For inhibition of CPE, Sindbis virus, vesicular stomatitis virus, poliovirus type 2, and vaccinia virus were used for challenge. In the plaqu...
