Researchers develop technique for bacteria crowd control

...g including use in miniaturized medical diagnostic kits and bioanalysis. The technique is based on the transmission of tiny electric current in a very thin film sample cell containing a colony of bacteria. The current produces electrolysis that changes the local pH level in the vicinity of the electrodes...

Scientists design simple dipstick test for cocaine, other drugs

...e technology, and can be packaged in user-friendly kits similar to those used for home pregnancy tests. "Building upon our earlier work with lead (Pb) sensors, we constructed colorimetric sensors that are based on the lateral flow separation of aptamer-linked nanostructures," said Yi Lu, a chemistry prof...

...in excellent health and condition. She hasn't had kits yet, and is probably just a year old," said Aubry. "It's likely that her parents and possibly siblings are in the same general area, so chances are good that we will collar additional individuals in the traps we've set." Rohrer and Fitkin will con...

Technique makes it easier to see mouse embryo in all its glory

"Virtual Histology represents a vast improvement in resolution, time and expense compared to current methods and approaches for studying developmental defects in animal models," Beeuwsaert said. Dr. Keller said Virtual Histolo...

University of Delaware researchers develop cancer 'nanobomb'

...future, my vision is that people will have at-home kits that can detect cancer. After work they will be able to go to a clinic, be treated with nanobombs and go home," Panchapakesan said. While these initial experiments are on breast cancer cells, he is also working to extend his method to prostate cancer...

Brazilians sequence genes of pig and poultry killers

...t could be used to develop vaccines and diagnostic kits against the bacteria. Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae causes pneumonia in pigs and costs the Brazilian pig-breeding industry US$200 million each year. Mycoplasma synoviae is a related bacterium that causes respiratory disease in chickens and turkeys. The ...
