two capillary zone electrophoresis (cze) methods were developed in this study, one using an acidic buffer (sodium citrate ph = 2.5) and the other using a basic buffer (sodium tetraborate ph = 9.8). the two methods were compared on the basis of repeatability and reproducibility of results and the cze method developed with the basic buffer was then selected for further studies. the method was ful...

conclusions: it was concluded that the elisa is a suitable method for large scale screening of antibodies against aspergilloma. the easy techniques have shortened the required time of tests (approximately 1.30 hours for our elisa, as opposed to 2.30 hours with commercial elisa kit). this may be a substantial benefit for large numbers of samples that should be tested. materials and methods: an i...

background: the ability to sensitively detect vibrio cholera with pcr-elisa method represents a considerable advancement over alternative more time-consuming methods for detection of this pathogen. the aim of this research is to evaluate the suitability of a pcr-enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay for sensitive and rapid detection of v. cholera o1. methods: the 398-bp sequence of a gene that code...
