Surface functionalization strategy is becoming a crucial bridge from magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) to their broad bio-application. To realize the multiple functions of MNPs such as magnetic manipulation, target capture, and signal amplification in their use of electrochemical biosensing, co-crosslinking strategy was proposed here to construct dual-functionalized MNPs by combining ultra-sensitive redox moieties and specific biological probes. In this work, MNPs with a TEM size of 10 nm were synthesized by co-precipitation for amination and PEGylation to maintain colloid stability once dispersed in high-ionic-strength buffer (such as phosphate-buffered saline).

Nanoparticles (NPs) can be conjugated with diverse biomolecules and employed in biosensing to detect target analytes in biological samples. This proven concept was primarily used during the COVID-19 pandemic with gold NPs-based lateral flow assays (LFAs). Considering the gold price and its worldwide depletion, here we show that novel plasmonic nanoparticles (NPs) based on inexpensive metals, titanium nitride (TiN) and copper covered with a gold shell (Cu@Au), perform comparable or even better than gold nanoparticles.

Aims: To test the efficacy of 222 nm Far UV-C for surface disinfection of SARS-CoV-2 on inanimate surfaces from airplane cabins.
Methods And Results: Two far ultraviolet (UV-C) irradiation light systems were evaluated for disinfection of SARS-CoV-2. Materials used for carriers (test surfaces) included polished stainless steel and used airplane materials including seatbelt latches, window dust covers, sidewall laminates, and tray tables.

Citrus melanose, caused by Diaporthe citri, has been one of the serious diseases, and chemical fungicides were used for protection in many citrus orchards of Jeju Island. Establishing a disinfectant resistance management system and reducing pesticide usage would be important for contributing to safe agricultural production. In this study, monitoring of chemical resistance was performed with 40 representative D.

Objective: Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) and preeclampsia (PE) are common pregnancy complications that share some common risk factors. GDM patients are also at high risk for PE. There are no sensitive markers for prediction, especially for the occurrence of PE in GDM patients.
