The design of efficient bacterial inactivation treatment in wastewater is challenging due to its numerous parameters and the complex composition of wastewater. Although solar photochemical processes (PCPs) provide energy-saving benefits, a balance must be maintained between bacterial inactivation efficiency and experimental costs. Predictive decision tools for bacterial inactivation under various conditions would significantly contribute to optimizing PCP design resources.

This study explores the potential application of solar photochemical processes (SPPs) for simultaneous disinfection and decontamination of urban wastewater (UWW) when combined with constructed wetlands (CWs). Two SPPs based on the addition of low concentrations of hydrogen peroxide and peroxymonosulfate (PMS) were evaluated. SPPs were carried out at pilot plant scale using low-cost solar open photoreactors (Raceway Pond Reactor (RPR)) under natural sunlight.

CRISPR/Cas systems, particularly CRISPR/Cas12a, have revolutionized nucleic acid detection due to their exceptional specificity and sensitivity. However, CRISPR/Cas12a's cleavage activity can interfere with amplification processes, such as reverse transcription (RT) and isothermal amplification (e.g.

Background: Human Platelet Lysate (hPL) is a platelet-derived and growth factor-rich supplement for cell culture. It can be prepared from surplus platelet concentrates initially intended for transfusion. Amotosalen-based photochemical pathogen inactivation of platelet concentrates is used in a number of blood establishments worldwide to minimize the risk of pathogen transmission from donor to patient.
