Considering that the strip method is simple and convenient for users, a Europium nanosphere-based time-resolved fluorescent immunochromatographic assay (TRFICA) for the rapid screening of 4,4'-dinitrocarbanilide (DNC) was developed to improve the performance of strip assays. After optimization, TRFICA showed IC, the limit of detection, and cut-off values of 0.4, 0.

According to the velocity difference between clockwise and counterclockwise directions of liquid in circular arc-shaped tubes, the flow characteristics of liquid in circular arc-shaped tubes are analyzed in this paper, and the velocity difference model and flow equation of a piezoelectric pump are established. By using three-dimensional printing technology, five types of prototypes with different parameters were made, and the experimental research was carried out.
