Multiple protein-patterned surface plasmon resonance biochip for the detection of human immunoglobulin-G.

A portable surface plasmon resonance (SPR) measurement prototype integrated with a multiple protein-patterned SPR biochip is introduced for label-free and selective detection of human immunoglobulin-G (H-IgG). The polyclonal anti-H-IgG antibodies derived from goat, rabbit, and mouse were immobilized through polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) microchannels to fabricate the patterned SPR biochip. The PDMS surface was functionalized using 3-aminopropyltrimethoxysilane and bonded to carbodiimide-activated gold substrates to construct irreversibly bonded hydrophilic microfluidic chip at room temperature.

Classification of Electrophotonic Images of Yogic Practice of Mudra through Neural Networks.

Background: Mudras signify a gesture with hands, eyes, and the body. Different configurations of the joining of fingertips are also termed mudra and are used by yoga practitioners for energy manipulation and for therapeutic applications. Electrophotonic imaging (EPI) captures the coronal discharge around the fingers as a result of electron capture from the ten fingers.
