The Albumin Cobalt Binding Test is a quantitative in vitro diagnostic test used on human serum that detects ischemia-modified albumin by measuring the cobalt binding capacity of albumin in human serum. Ischemia modified albumin is intended for use in conjunction with ECG and cardiac troponin as an aid to short term risk stratification of patients presenting with chest pain suggestive of cardiac origin. Thus, in patients with chest pain or equivalent symptoms suggestive of cardiac origin, with non-diagnostic ECG and normal troponin, a negative IMA can be used as an aid to rule out acute coronary syndrome (ACS) in low risk patients.

Cytochromes P450 are a superfamily of heme-containing monooxygenases involved in a variety of oxidative metabolic reactions, primarily catalyzing the insertion of an oxygen atom into a C-H bond. CYP102 represents the first example of a bacterial P450 that can be classified as a type II (eukaryotic-like) P450 and functions as a catalytically self-sufficient enzyme. These unique features have made CYP102 an attractive system for studying P450 structure and function.

Ruthenium (Ru) has emerged as a promising catalyst for alkaline hydrogen oxidation reaction (HOR). Nevertheless, its catalytic performance still remains substantially inferior to the requirements of practical applications. Strategic modulation of the Ru micro-environment offers significant potential for optimizing its intrinsic catalytic activity.

The leaching of aluminum and cobalt ions into canned foods, such as aluminum from canned tomato sauce and cobalt from canned tuna, raises concerns about potential health risks, making their accurate detection essential for food safety. In this study, we developed a novel ratiometric fluorometric sensor based on dual-emission carbon dots capable of selectively detecting aluminum (Al) and cobalt (Co) ions after a single excitation. The sensor exhibits distinct fluorescence responses: cobalt ions enhance the emission at 403 nm due to interactions with nitrogen and sulfur groups on the carbon dot surface, while Al enhance the emission at 532 nm through binding with oxygen-rich groups such as carboxyl and hydroxyl.
