Automatic Ph Changing System for Sensitivity Improvement of Elisa on Lab-on-paper
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this work, automatic pH changing system on lab-on-paper devices for enzyme-linked immunosorbent (ELISA) has been developed in order to improve their sensitivity and make the technique much more applicable to real samples. The most widely used enzyme in immunoassay are alkaline phosphatase (ALP) and peroxidase. ALP-conjugated secondary detection with BCIP/NBT substrate provides high sensitivity, however, the enzymatic reaction require alkaline medium. By automatic pH changing system, the immunoreaction is allowed to undergo first in the test zone at the neutral pH. Subsequently, enzymatic reaction occurs at the alkaline pH due to switching of pH from neutral to alkaline.

متن کاملA Fast, Robust, Automatic Blink Detector
Introduction “Blink” is defined as closing and opening of the eyes in a small duration of time. In this study, we aimed to introduce a fast, robust, vision-based approach for blink detection. Materials and Methods This approach consists of two steps. In the first step, the subject’s face is localized every second and with the first blink, the system detects the eye’s location and creates an ope...
