Toluene (methylbenzene) is a colourless liquid used as a solvent in the manufacture of synthetic rubber paint and lacquer as well as trinitrotoluene (Fairhall, 1957). Chronic or acute exposure to high concentrations is known to be toxic and to cause renal and hepatocellular damage (O'Brien, Yeoman, and Hobby, 1971). This report deals with severe myoglobinuria and acute renal failure necessitati...

We developed a new strategy of optofluidic analysis from inkjet-printed droplets on photonic crystal biosilica-diatom at nanoliter scales. The hydrophilic diatom surface could concentrate target molecules in the liquid droplets as the solvent evaporates, which enables 2,4,6-trinitrotoluene (TNT) detection down to 2.7×10-15 grams by surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS). © 2016 The Authors.
