Quality Evaluation of Milk Using XTT Assay-Comparison with Ferricyanide Assay.

Evaluation of the AxSYM homocysteine assay and comparison with the IMx homocysteine assay.

comparison of microbial quality assessment of water sources using multiple tube fermentation technique and enzymatic assay

background : microbial monitoring of aquatic sources is essential in the correct management of these vital sources. multiple tube fermentation (mtf) technique is currently used for assessment of the microbial quality of water sources. however, today enzymatic assay has been presented as an alternative approach for detecting indicator bacteria. the purpose of this study was to compare enzymatic ...

The Comparison of the Point-of-Care Serum Procalcitonin Assay Method with the BRAHMS Certified Method

Background and Aims: As a method for the diagnosis and management of sepsis, the serum procalcitonin assay is routinely used, especially in the emergency department (ED) and intensive care units (ICU). Procalcitonin has reasonable diagnostic accuracy for bacteremia in hospitalized patients of all age groups with suspected infection or sepsis. This study aimed to compare the Getein Biotech proca...

Cell Proliferation Kit II (XTT) Colorimetric assay (XTT based) for the non-radioactive quantification of cell proliferation and viability

Introduction The determination of cellular proliferation, viability and activation are key areas in a wide variety of cell biological approaches. The need for sensitive, quantitative, reliable and automated methods led to the development of standard assays. Such an example is based on the capability of the cells to incorporate a radioactively labeled substance ([3H]thymidine), or to release a r...

Fraud Identification of Undeclared Milk Species in Composition of Sheep Yogurt and Cheese Using Multiplex PCR Assay

Background: One of the adulterant practice in dairy industry is the use of a less costly type of milk such as cow and goat milk instead of more expensive ones especially sheep milk. The aim of the present study was to assess fraud identification of undeclared milk species in composition of sheep yogurt and cheese offered as “pure sheep” in Iranian local markets.
