electrospinning was applied to nitrocellulose (nc) solutions  in dmf, dmso  and  ethyl  methyl  keton  to  obtain  nc  nanofibers. electrospraying  process  was  observed  when  dmf  was  used  as solvent.  in  comparison  to nc/dmf, nc/dmso  solution  resulted  in the  formation  of  a  coating  film  as  indicate  by  sem.  two  different electrospun  nanofibers,  smooth  nanofibers  with  90...

lateral flow assay, a simple and rapid test to detect various agents; have found many applications in different fields. one of the most important issues in the construction of a lateral flow assay is the increasing of its sensitivity and efficiency by processing of analytical layer. this study, aimed to investigate the performance of, nellulose, nitrocellulose, nylon and pvd as different analyt...

We developed a protocol to remove non-specific antibodies from polyclonal antisera by adsorption on non-target antigens immobilized on nitrocellulose membranes. This "negative" purification method is simple and provides better immunoreagents than the blocking of nonspecific antibodies in solution or the enrichment of specific antibodies on nitrocellulose membranes. For routine applications, thi...

We describe the simple preparation of nitrocellulose gels and high surface area (300 + m(2) g(-1)) aerogels and their hierarchical pore structures. The solvent in which the gels form greatly influences the pore geometry and size distribution of the gels in both the macro- and mesopore domains.
