Article Synopsis
  • * Researchers created three multiplex allele-specific qRT-PCR assays that can detect key mutations in four specific variants, helping differentiate recombinant variants (XD and XE) from Omicron subvariants (BA.1 and BA.2).
  • * The new assays showed high sensitivity and reliability, with performance metrics comparable to traditional gene sequencing methods, making them a promising tool for quick variant identification.

The electrocatalytic synthesis of low-density polyethylene (LDPE) from carbon dioxide on a nanostructured (ns)TiO2 film electrode was investigated by controlled potential electrolysis in a solvent mixture of water and the ionic liquid 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate ([EMI]BF4) at room temperature under ambient pressure. Under these conditions, the nsTiO2 film is remarkably efficient and selective for the electroreduction of CO2. The current efficiency for the formation of the electrolytic product is about 8-14% at -1.
