Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) is the gold standard for molecular diagnoses due to its high sensitivity and accuracy. However, conventional PCR exhibits limitations including extended analysis time and complicated sample treatment. To shorten the analysis time of standard three-step PCR, we employed a two-step PCR allowing for fast amplification of nucleic acid in a chip format.

A phenolphthalein-based Schiff base, 3,3-bis-{4-hydroxy-3-[(pyridine-2-ylmethylimino)-methyl]-phenyl}-3-isobenzofuran-1-one (PAP), has been synthesized and used for selective fluorescence 'turn on' and 'turn off' sensing of Zn and PO respectively. The limit of detection using the 3 method for Zn is found to be 19.3 nM and that for PO is 8.

Screening for the hazardous adulterant phenolphthalein (PTH) in slimming foods is necessary. Herein, the linkage of the PTH target epitope with various spacer arms was proposed for hapten design, aiming to produce highly sensitive and specific antibodies targeting PTH. To understand the influence of spacer arms on epitope, comprehensive evaluations were conducted using computer-aided chemistry and animal immunization.

Development of smart coatings incorporated with corrosion indicators that can warn of corrosion through signaling the alteration of pH or metal-ion concentration at the corrosion site, and simultaneously mitigate further corrosion, stands out as a highly efficient and economical approach to address corrosion issues. In this context, the present work provides a comprehensive comparison on the effectiveness of thymol blue (TB) and phenolphthalein (PhPh) in both sensing and inhibiting corrosion on mild steel. While most of the works primarily focused on independently investigating the corrosion indication behavior of different active agents, our study intends to offer valuable insights through the comparative analysis of TB and PhPh in making well-informed decisions when selecting the most effective indicator for a given set of application scenarios.
