background and aims: cytomegalovirus (cmv) is a member of herpesviruses. it is one of the most common cause of congenital and prenatal infections. cmv infection of pregnant women, especially in the first trimester may lead to congenital abnormalities in the newborns. the prevalence of cmv infection in developed countries is about 40% and in developing countries may be 100%. because there is no ...

Immunoassays have greatly benefited from miniaturization in microfluidic systems. This review, which summarizes developments in microfluidics-based immunoassays since 2000, includes four sections, focusing on the configurations of immunoassays that have been implemented in microfluidics, the main fluid handling modalities that have been used for microfluidic immunoassays, multiplexed immunoassa...

Recently, there have been some important changes in the laboratory diagnosis of patients with acute coronary syndrome, due to introduction into routine practice new high- and ultra-sensitive techniques for detection myocardial damage biomarkers — cardiac troponins. Each method troponins’ detection, among existing wide variety troponin immunoassays, has different analytical characteristics allow...

This system built from commercially available parts and microfluidics allows for efficient robust readout of HRP/TMB based immunoassays.
