The presence of Cronobacter sakazakii must be controlled in infant powder plants, because it may cause infectious disease infants, with high mortality. Testing for C. powdered formula should performed before delivery, and requires rapid specific detection methods. In this study, we established a surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) immunochromatographic test strip the quantitative determina...

This study was performed to determine the feasibility of using whole serum to detect antibodies to canine parvovirus (CPV) under nonlaboratory conditions and to evaluate the performance characteristics of an immunochromatography assay kit. Precise detection of levels of antibody against CPV in puppies can be used to determine a vaccination schedule, because maternal antibodies frequently result...

OBJECTIVE To determine the frequency of seropositive dengue infection using rapid immunochromatographic assay in patients with probable dengue infection as per WHO criteria. METHOD A cross-sectional observational study was conducted at Abbasi Shaheed Hospital, Karachi from July 2008 to January 2009. Patients presenting with acute febrile illness, rashes, bleeding tendencies, leucopenia and or...

BACKGROUND Determining soy aeroallergens levels is extremely important in the assessment of health risks due to these airborne substances. Currently, soy aeroallergens exposure in the environment is monitored using enzyme immunoassays (EIA) which must be evaluated in a specialized laboratory by skilled personnel. OBJECTIVE To describe the development and performance of a rapid immunochromatog...

Objective To determine the frequency and the risk factors of hepatitis C virus in pregnant women at Al-Tibri Medical College & Hospital in Gadap Town Karachi. Methods This was a descriptive cross sectional study conducted at Obstetrics & Gynecology OPD of Al-Tibri Medical College & Hospital, Isra University Karachi Campus from 10th June to 10th September 2016. A total of 400 pregnant women of...

The ability to catalyse an electrode reaction via direct (mediatorless) electron transfer has been demonstrated for a number of redox enzymes. In the case of mediatorless electron transfer, the electron is transferred directly from the electrode to the substrate molecule via the active site of the enzyme, or vice versa. The electron itself is the second substrate for the reaction. An important ...
