The electromagnetic eddy current non-destructive testing system enables the non-destructive analysis of surface defect information on tested materials. Based on the principles of eddy current detection, this paper presents a digital eddy current detection method using high-speed sampling based on STM32. A differential eddy current coil is used as the detection probe, and the combination of a differential bridge and a differential amplifier circuit helps to reduce common-mode noise interference.

The visualization of SNMs can indicate antibiotic resistance phenotypes at the single-cell level but remains challenging. Herein, we proposed an allele-specific isothermal amplification proceeded inside cells, allowing us to image bacterial genes with single-nucleotide resolution.

Herein, we proposed multivalence aptamer probes, allowing sensitive, label-free, and homogeneous detection of antibiotics in different aquatic products. Compared to commonly used aptamers, multivalence aptamer probes can provide multiple binding sites and a higher affinity for target molecules, and the iterative binding on different binding sites contributes to an amplified recognition effect, sharply increasing the response and sensitivity of aptamer probes.
