Rapid determination of hydrogen peroxide produced by Lactobacillus using enzyme coupled rhodamine isocyanide/calcium phosphate nanoparticles.

A sensitive method for detecting hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) using rhodamine isocyanide incorporated calcium phosphate nanoparticles (Rho/CaP) was developed. The synthesized nanoparticles were characterized based on transmission electron microscopy (TEM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Fourier transformed infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), Raman spectroscopy, energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX) and X-ray diffraction patterns (XRD). To study the application, the nanoparticles were functionalized with horse radish peroxidase (HRP) based on aminopropyl triethoxy silane (APTES) and used as tools to detect H2O2.

Development of antibiotic selection kit towards veterinary applications using glycine passivated magnetic particles.

Glycine functionalized (Gly/Fe3O4) and non-functionalized (Fe3O4) magnetic particles were synthesized in an autoclave and characterized by transmission electron microscopy (TEM), Fourier transformed infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM), energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), X-ray diffraction patterns (XRD) and zeta potential. The size of the both these particles were in the range of 220-230 nm but the shape of the Gly/Fe3O4 particles was hexagonal in contrast to the spherical shape of Fe3O4 particles. The particle characterization tests confirmed that glycine was functionalized on the Gly/Fe3O4 particles, they were positively charged and possessed strong magnetic property.
