Article Synopsis
  • A novel SARS-CoV-2 was identified in China in December 2019, leading to a global pandemic, and vaccination is key to achieving immunity through antibody generation.
  • To assess immunity levels, serological antibody assays are crucial; existing tests either lack quality or do not quantify immune responses effectively.
  • A new rapid serological magnetic immunodetection (MID) assay was created, showing 97% sensitivity and 92% specificity, capable of accurately detecting SARS-CoV-2 antibodies in just 21 minutes using patient sera.

Biphasic reaction systems for enzyme catalysis are an elegant way to overcome limited solubility and stability of reactants and facilitate continuous processes. However, many synthetically useful enzymes are not stable in biphasic systems of water and organic solvent. The entrapment in polymer beads of polyvinyl alcohol has been shown to enable the stable operation of enzymes unstable in conventional biphasic reaction systems.
