Novel procedure for testing of soil field test kits involving paper strips

Feasibility of testing antibodies to HIV from filter paper using HIV rapid test kits

HIV rapid tests are widely used in resource limited settings. Dried blood spots on filter paper are an easy way to collect and transport blood samples from a remote area to a testing facility at ambient temperatures. Our objective was to evaluate the technical possibility of testing antibodies to HIV from filter paper using HIV rapid tests kits. Dried blood spots on filter paper were obtained f...

DEVELOPMENT OF CELLULOSIC PAPER-BASED TEST STRIPS FOR Cr(VI) DETERMINATION

Paper-based test strips specific for the Cr(VI) determination in aqueous solutions were developed by impregnating a color-forming reagent, diphenylcarbazide, and a quaternary ammonium salt (Aliquat 336) into paper sheets. The results showed that the quaternary ammonium salt could effectively retain the colored complex in the paper substrate. This paper-based test strip showed a high selectivity...

Phadebas amylase test kits.

The observation by Hafkenscheid (1) thatPhadebas Amylase Test kitswith bovine serum albumin (BSA) gave lower results than those without BSA is, as he infers, evidently caused by differences between the standard curves supplied by the manufacturer. We found rather better agreement for plasma assays between the oldand new-formulation tablets (2). However, we routinely check the calibration curve ...
